If you're worried about personal privacy in the digital age, keep reading: there may be some good news ahead. Cell phones, laptops, and other modern conveniences have been a boon to civilization, but they've also put our lives on display. Sometimes we're active participants in that process, like when we post photos and videos to social networks...
Today at The Car Connection, we drove the new 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 and 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid. Kia gave the Optima Hybrid some upgrades for 2013 and Subaru issued a recall. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. The IIHS announced more vehicles that have earned Top Safety Pick Plus ratings. Is the new...
Geneva is a peaceful town, and the annual auto show marks a detente--usually--for the world's carmakers. McLarens park next to Bentleys and leave room to spare. Space is made for one-off tuner fantasies. Even rival execs rub shoulders and shake hands as they get a glimpse of the latest supercars and profit-makers alike. It's all good, except when...
While the current Civic has sold well, it’s been a bit of a disappointment for the most discerning (or demanding) small-car shoppers. That’s because while the market moved toward more refinement, sophistication, and features, the Civic kept it basic—perhaps too basic. But based on the more sophisticated look, upgraded materials...
Subaru is recalling certain Legacy, Outback, Impreza and XV Crosstrek models from the 2010 through 2013 model years due to a remote starter that may allow vehicles to start without the key fob being pressed. A notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) puts the number of vehicles potentially affected in the U.S. at...
Timing isn't everything, but in the case of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA, it's one more big tactical advantage. The company's first compact four-door luxury sedan--its first front-drive car in America, ever--the grippy and gripping CLA goes on sale this fall at least a half-year before its German rivals can summon up a true four-door competitor...
When it comes to freedom of choice, the Jetta has it, from a turbocharged four cylinder, to an inline-five cylinder, to a hybrid. But which Jetta's right for you? And does it live up to the premium German hype while beating competitors such as the Ford Focus, Honda Civic, and Hyundai Elantra? Behind the wheel of our Jetta Hybrid tester it actually...
The LS sedans are the ne plus ultra members in an already luxurious Lexus lineup. With the 2013 Lexus LS 460 and its hybrid version, the LS 600h L, Lexus packs some of the most advanced technology found anywhere in its lineup, plus some of the richest finishes. This year, the LS gets a restyled exterior and interior, and the addition of a new F...
The 2013 Volvo XC60, Honda Civic, Lincoln MKZ, and Mazda 6 are all among the latest group of new vehicles to get the top nod from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) this week. All four managed to earn top 'good' ratings in frontal, side, and rear impact tests, as well as in the roof strength test—and at least an 'acceptable'...
Is the Scion xB a fashionable urban vehicle, or the closest thing to a refrigerator on four wheels? Like most unabashedly boxy vehicles, the Scion xB tends to be polarizing; and for those who like the look, the 2013 xB has a certain kind of charm that those in urban areas might especially appreciate--due to its decent space and versatility, all in...
Now that Chevrolet's small cars, like the Sonic hatchback and Cruze sedan, have given shoppers a reason to put the brand back onto their shopping list, it's the job of the 2013 Chevy Malibu to keep GM's fortunes headed in the right direction for the mid-size family-sedan class. The only hitch, perhaps, is that it's been downsized, as it's a part...
The Buick Verano finds its way into more compelling territory for 2013, only a year after it first went on sale. It's not giving up its handsome sheetmetal or chucking its quiet cabin, but it is adding turbocharging to its four-cylinder engine--a change that makes the Turbo the Verano we'd pick every time. The 250-horsepower Turbo changes the mood...
