Today at The Car Connection, Michigan considered allowing self-driving cars on its roads, and photos of the refreshed 2014 Volvo lineup leaked onto the Internet. We compared the Hyundai Elantra against the Chevrolet Cruze, and we spied the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C Class. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. The...
Chrysler has some work to do on the customer satisfaction front. In the most recent Sales Satisfaction Index published by J.D. Power and Associates, Fiat was the only one of the automaker's five brands to score above the industry average, while Dodge and Jeep battled it out at the bottom of the list. (In fact, Jeep has occupied the lowest rung in...
First, there was Nevada. Then, California and Florida. Now, according to Detroit News, Michigan is considering legislation that would allow autonomous vehicles on the state's roads. It's not surprising that Michigan would debate such a bill. In fact, as the auto capitol of America, we're a little stunned that state officials hadn't considered it...
Last week part of the High Gear Media editorial team including editorial director Marty Padgett, social media manager Joel Feder, and senior editor Nelson Ireson, all sat down together for a Google+ Hangout On Air. The topic was all about the future of Mercedes-Benz and AMG. The discussion included everything from our first driving impressions of...
Back in the 1980s, Toyota and Honda hit their stride in the U.S. with the Camry and Accord, two models that have come to epitomize the American mid-size sedan. Since then, both models have been thoughtfully evolved to keep pace with what families need in a frugal family sedan, and while they've never been all that stylish, they've always been...
The Ford Escape and Honda CR-V are two of the best-selling crossovers on the market. Yet they offer two very different takes on what's important in this kind of vehicle. They're both good for families on a growth spurt, but which one is the better pick and why? To date, we've only driven just the most sporty, 240-horsepower version of the new Ford...
Among compact luxury sport sedans, reputation matters. And two of the titans of the class, with the best name recognition are the Mercedes-Benz C Class and the BMW 3-Series. Perennially near (or at) the top of their segment, both sedans offer fresh styling and modern, sophisticated interiors. Both have recently been redesigned or heavily revised...
For those who like to drive, but are frugal-minded, there's plenty of good news. Compact sedan and hatchback models have very quickly evolved over the past several years, shedding their staid appearance and miserly demeanor for something much more interesting--including more better-trimmed interiors, and feature sets appealing for those who do...
After 20 years, we may finally be getting a raise -- and by "raise", we mean "an increase on the federal gas tax". A growing number of voices suggest that, though not perfect, an increase on the tax that motorists pay for gasoline is the best way to bring America's infrastructure up to snuff and keep the U.S. fatality rate hovering near record...
If you didn't expect to find a Chevrolet or a Hyundai among TheCarConnection's top choices, you're in for a surprise. Much has changed in the compact-sedan class over the past few years, and both the new Chevy Cruze and Hyundai Elantra are among our top-rated vehicles here. One of them has a major award in its win column. From our road tests, it's...
Today at The Car Connection, Chevrolet revealed the new 2014 SS and BMW recalled 2007-2010 X5 SUVs. Ferrari was named the world's most powerful brand, and some Chinese automakers might be bidding for Fisker Automotive. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. Cadillac announced a limited-edition, special-finish CTS...
Last week, we discussed Alfa Romeo's return to the U.S., led by the late-2013 arrival of the 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C. While the car looks great, we had some questions about Fiat's sales strategy for the sleek two-seater. Here's the problem: the 4C is essentially an intro-level supercar. (Alfa Romeo even uses the word "supercar" in its press release for...
The 2013 Infiniti EX (now the EX37) remains one of the best-driving crossovers on the market, but it sure trades off a lot of practicality. Would you pick it over a coupe or sedan? Full review -> http://bit.ly/WLJbHg[see more]2/19/13 3:31PM
