| Posted: 07 Feb 2013 03:05 PM PST  What is the BMW 4-Series? It's a new addition to BMW's range, effectively moving what used to be the 3-Series Coupe into its own model line. As such, it draws its design and heritage from the 3-Series family that has been in production for decades--and even traces its roots back to the famed 2002. Given its 3-Series basis, the BMW 4-Series will...      |
| Posted: 07 Feb 2013 03:01 PM PST  Jaguar's F-Type is brand new, so new it's not even on sale yet. When it does arrive later in 2013, the F-Type will be Jaguar's first true sports car in more than a generation. Inspired in its design and nature by Jaguar's heritage, the F-Type is nonetheless completely modern, building on the best the brand has to offer, including potent...   |
| Posted: 07 Feb 2013 02:24 PM PST  Whether in 328i or 335i form, the BMW 3-Series is one of the most easily recognized luxury sedans in the U.S., and both the 240-horsepower 328i and 300-horsepower 335i are fast, fun, and relatively efficient vehicles. Sold in several variants over the years, including coupe, sedan, and wagon forms, the 3-SEries has been in production since 1975...   |
| Posted: 07 Feb 2013 02:19 PM PST  BMW's 7-Series, now in its fourth decade of production, remains one of the benchmarks of the large luxury sedan class. It's also BMW's most expensive model, ranging beyond $140,000, and is available with six-, eight-, and twelve-cylinder engines. Mercedes-Benz's S Class has long been a close rival, and in recent years, Audi's A8 and the Jaguar XJ...   |
| Posted: 07 Feb 2013 02:14 PM PST  The Chevy Suburban is a full-size body-on-frame SUV, spun from a common architecture that includes everything from the Cadillac Escalade to the basic Chevy Silverado. Strong points for this truck include seating for up to nine, immense towing capacity, and a choice of V-8 engines and four-wheel-drive systems. The Ford Expedition, Toyota Sequoia...   |
| Posted: 07 Feb 2013 01:18 PM PST  With a sportier personality than many of its rivals, the Mazda Mazda6 is a mid-size family sedan that's aimed at those who like to drive yet have practical needs and a limited budget. Descended from the former Mazda 626, the Mazda 6 has, grown in size but lost weight over its model run. That makes it a relative rarity among modern sedans, and it...   |
| Posted: 07 Feb 2013 11:40 AM PST  The Toyota Highlander fits right into the middle of Toyota's extended lineup of family-size vehicles, including the Camry and Avalon sedans, the Venza crossover, and the Sienna minivan--along with the Lexus RX crossover and ES sedan. It's a five- or seven-seat crossover vehicle, assembled in Princeton, Indiana, and in addition to some sibling...   |
| Posted: 07 Feb 2013 10:42 AM PST  It was the Toyota Corolla, long before the Camry, that forever changed the U.S. small-car market and U.S. shoppers' expectations--and patched Toyota onto the competitive landscape. Just about any way you might track Toyota's U.S. success, it's likely the path would lead back to the long-running Corolla. For the first two years of its latest...   |
| Posted: 07 Feb 2013 09:19 AM PST  The Audi A7 and its high-performance S7 variant are mid-size luxury cars—hatchbacks—that share their running gear with the more traditional Audi A6 sedan. It's a distinctive spin-off, with a sloping fastback body that's one of the most attractive designs on the road today. The shape puts the A7 in a small niche of fashion-forward cars...   |
| Electric Car Startup Better Place Pulls Plug On U.S., Australia Posted: 07 Feb 2013 08:24 AM PST  A growing number of cars in the U.S. run either entirely or partially on electric power, and that trend is likely to accelerate with time. The shift from gasoline to electricity will present plenty of opportunities for auto start-ups, but one is already calling it quits. As our colleagues at Green Car Reports note, the electric car company known...   |
| Posted: 07 Feb 2013 08:21 AM PST  The 2014 Infiniti Q50 is an all-new sport sedan, and the direct successor of the Infiniti G37. Like the G37, it competes with the BMW 3-Series, Cadillac ATS, Lexus IS 350, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Acura TL.

| 2014 Kia Forte 5-Door Preview & Live Photos: 2013 Chicago Auto Show Posted: 07 Feb 2013 07:40 AM PST  When Kia debuted the second-generation Forte sedan at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, we knew it was only a matter of time before the Korean brand revealed the 5-door hatchback version. And that time has come at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show. The Forte 5-door's front end design looks quite similar to the sedan. Lower, longer, and wider than the...   |
| 2014 Toyota Tundra Full Details: 2013 Chicago Auto Show Posted: 07 Feb 2013 07:30 AM PST  The full-size pickup truck market still makes up a large portion of vehicle sales in the U.S., from the job site to the boat landing, American's rely on their trucks. Toyota made a serious play in the American pickup truck industry back in 2007, but a lot has changed since then, and Toyota knows it. The competition has stepped up their game with...   |
| Posted: 07 Feb 2013 07:30 AM PST After nearly six years on the market, the Toyota Tundra is finally receiving a refresh for 2014. With updated technology, new safety features, and tweaked styling, Toyota's not giving up on the truck U.S. truck market.
