| Posted: 12 Mar 2013 05:28 PM PDT  See our full review of the 2013 Buick Encore for pricing with options, specifications, and gas mileage ratings. The Buick Encore is GM's new subcompact crossover for the 2013 model year. In a small niche of vehicles expected to grow rapidly over the next few years, the Encore competes with the likes of the BMW X1 and MINI Countryman, but will also...      |
| Posted: 12 Mar 2013 05:15 PM PDT  See our full review of the 2013 Subaru WRX for more, including pricing with options, gas mileage ratings, and specifications. The Subaru WRX and STI are high-performance versions of the Impreza hatchback and sedan. For more than a decade, they've been the Subaru take on the hot rod--only instead of big-displacement engines and rear-wheel drive...   |
| Posted: 12 Mar 2013 05:07 PM PDT  See our full review of the 2013 BMW X1 for pricing with options, gas-mileage ratings, and specifications. The BMW X1 is a compact crossover utility vehicle, brand-new for 2013. It slots in the BMW sport-ute family below the X5 and the X3, and is one of a handful of vehicles in a niche expected to grow rapidly in the coming years. Today, the...   |
| Posted: 12 Mar 2013 05:02 PM PDT  See our full review of the 2013 Nissan Quest for pricing with options, specifications, and gas mileage ratings. The Nissan Quest is a seven-passenger minivan that's in its second generation. Introduced in the early 1990s as a response to the wildly successful Chrysler minivans--and shared initially with Ford's now-defunct Mercury brand--the Quest...   |
| Posted: 12 Mar 2013 04:30 PM PDT  The mid-size Lincoln MKX is a luxury crossover that's targeted at drivers who don't need (or want) a rugged-lifestyle look, yet those who need all-weather traction in a roomy, comfortable, and feature-rich vehicle. The MKX offers those things, although it's only a five-seater in a market that does include quite a few vehicles with three rows of...   |
| Posted: 12 Mar 2013 03:53 PM PDT  When people think of the humungous, ever-more-ornate SUVs of the '00s, the Cadillac Escalade might be the first to come to mind. What many forget is that it's the Lincoln Navigator that kicked off the plus-size luxury SUV trend, way back in 1998. As a somewhat plusher version of the Ford Expedition, the Navigator, Lincoln's first four-wheel-drive...   |
| Posted: 12 Mar 2013 03:27 PM PDT  The Lexus RX is a mid-size luxury crossover, and one of the long-time best-sellers for Toyota's luxury brand. Known by many different numeric suffixes--from 300 through 450--the Lexus RX spans the gap between smaller ES sedans and the most truck-like SUVs in the Lexus lineup, the Lexus GX and LX. The RX is, at least in part, related mechanically...   |
| Posted: 12 Mar 2013 03:26 PM PDT  As a full-size sport-utility vehicle, built on a trucklike frame and fitted with almost every imaginable convenience, the Lexus LX 570 is a vehicle built on pretense. At least in part, it's justified; beneath the luxury veneer, the LX is version of the Toyota Land Cruiser that's known around the globe as the method of transportation where only...   |
| 2014 Kia Forte Reviewed, Tesla Model X Delayed, Veloster Turbo Driven: Today's Car News Posted: 12 Mar 2013 08:50 AM PDT  Today at The Car Connection, Jaguar added fuel-saving technologies to its vehicles and Tesla announced that deliveries of the Model X electric crossover will be delayed a year. Sergio Marchionne donated his Dodge Challenger SRT8 and we drove the 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection...   |
| NHTSA Nixes Probe Of Ford Explorer, Mercury Mountaineer, Lincoln Aviator Posted: 12 Mar 2013 07:54 AM PDT  In August of 2009, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched an investigation of the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, the 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, and the 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. According to a notice on NHTSA's website, the agency had received numerous reports of those SUVs mysteriously slipping out of park. During the course...   |
| 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo: Driven Posted: 12 Mar 2013 04:30 AM PDT  Ever since our first drive of the standard Hyundai Veloster, we'd been pining for the Veloster Turbo. In fact, after hatching plans to make the Veloster one of our inaugural long-term test cars (there are plenty of Six Month Road Test Veloster exploits to catch up on), we kept second-guessing ourselves. Would the standard-engine version be enough?...   |
| Posted: 11 Mar 2013 05:30 PM PDT  For those who don't view cars as appliances, the Mazda3 has built a strong reputation around being the best-handling and sportiest-feeling compact in the compact class. Many models fall on the fun-to-drive side of the scale--we're thinking the Ford Focus, the new-for-2013 Hyundai Elantra GT, and the Volkswagen Golf--but the Mazda3 four-door sedan...   |
| Posted: 11 Mar 2013 04:30 PM PDT  As a compact, semi-sporty, and somewhat luxurious sedan, the ILX is meant to help Honda's luxury brand reach new buyers trading up to their first Acura. It's the latest of several vehicles with which Acura hopes to polish its brand image and, like most Acuras, based on the underlying technology of a Honda model--in this case the popular and...   |
| Posted: 11 Mar 2013 03:30 PM PDT  The Hyundai Santa Fe has grown from compact to mid-size, and it's become the brand's mainstream family crossover. The all-new 2013 model spans two different sizes: a mid-size Santa Fe Sport that can seat five, and a larger Santa Fe with three rows of seating. Rival models include roomier compacts like the Honda CR-V and Chevrolet Equinox plus...   |
| Posted: 11 Mar 2013 02:30 PM PDT  The Hyundai Tucson has a lot of ground to gain on longer-established nameplates like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Ford Escape. It hasn't jumped to the front of the pack as assertively as the Sonata and Elantra sedans, but the current version of the Tucson has earned a lot more consideration. The Tucson's competition includes those segment...   |
