| Honda Pilot Vs. Toyota Highlander: Compare Cars Posted: 15 Mar 2013 03:54 PM PDT  If you're a busy parent, especially of the kind that doesn't want to be seen in a minivan, seven-passenger crossovers are good substitutes. And if your escape from sliding doors brought you to either the Honda Pilot or the Toyota Highlander, you're on the right track. Both of these models are among the best affordable mass-market family...      |
| Nissan Frontier Vs. Toyota Tacoma: Compare Trucks Posted: 15 Mar 2013 03:21 PM PDT  If you like your trucks small, manageable, and maneuverable, you don't have many choices left on the market. The Dodge Dakota and Ford Ranger are now gone—both without successors—and the Chevrolet Colorado is merely carried through this year, on the way to a major transformation next year into a true mid-sizer. What remains? There's...   |
| Posted: 15 Mar 2013 01:08 PM PDT  The Toyota Land Cruiser is a legendary name, and the current version keeps closely with this badge's trail-tested lineage. As a large sport-utility vehicle, the Land Cruiser appeals to those who appreciate serious off-road ability, and it takes on rivals like Mercedes-Benz GL550 and Land Rover Range Rover. It's also very closely related to the...   |
| Posted: 15 Mar 2013 11:55 AM PDT  If you like the Jeep Wrangler or Nissan Xterra—or, for that matter, older CJs, Land Cruisers, or International Scouts—chances are you'll also find the Toyota FJ Cruiser very appealing. The FJ is an off-road-focused sport-utility vehicle that's aimed at an active crowd that love off-roading, not just the rugged image of it. That said...   |
| Posted: 15 Mar 2013 11:25 AM PDT  The Acura MDX is a large, seven-passenger luxury crossover, and one of the longest-running nameplates in this class. The MDX shares portions of its running gear with a number of other Acura and Honda models, including the Pilot crossover and earlier versions of the Odyssey minivan. Current competition includes the new Infiniti JX, Lexus RX, and...   |
| 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA, E-Cell, And CLA45 AMG, Subaru Forester: Top Videos Of The Week Posted: 15 Mar 2013 11:00 AM PDT  This week could be renamed Mercedes-Benz week, as three of our top five videos feature vehicles sporting the three-pointed star. We can't blame you as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 is very good looking, and the E-Cell electric supercar is the stuff dreams are made of. Add in the excitement surrounding the CLA45 AMG and you have a recipe for...   |
| Posted: 15 Mar 2013 10:43 AM PDT  The Acura RDX is an upscale compact crossover vehicle. After a six-year run as one of the sportiest-driving vehicles its size, the RDX was entirely redesigned for the 2013 model year to make it slightly more mainstream, albeit more conservative. Earlier models took on the BMW X3, Mazda CX-7, and others; while in its current 2013 iteration it's...   |

| IIHS: Today's "Mansfield Bars" Don't Work So Well (Video) Posted: 15 Mar 2013 08:00 AM PDT  In the wee hours of June 29, 1967, Jayne Mansfield was being driven to New Orleans in a 1966 Buick Electra. She was sitting up front with her driver and her lover, while her children (including actress-to-be Mariska Hargitay) slept in the back seat. Around 2:30am, Mansfield's car slammed into the back of a big rig. The collision forced the Buick...   |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 09:47 PM PDT  The Chevrolet Impala has been so mediocre for so long, it's nearly impossible to imagine it as new, as improved, or as any other buzzword sure to show up in a TV ad or a sponsored Tweet. Well, it is new. It is improved. It's excellent, actually. And the 2014 Impala now pulling into showrooms is such a departure from the cut-rate fleet...   |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 06:15 PM PDT  For years it was a single car, and the high-roofed aerodynamic shape launched for the 2004 model year became an instant icon. But now the Toyota Prius hybrid has expanded into an entire family of four cars: the classic five-door hatchback, now deemed Liftback, joined by a plug-in hybrid model, a smaller subcompact Prius C hatchback with a price...   |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 05:16 PM PDT  The Mitsubishi Outlander is a compact crossover vehicle that offers a mix of tall-wagon and SUV attributes--and in some versions, three rows of seating. It competes with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Subaru Forester, along with the Dodge Journey. For more information on the current model, see our full review of the 2013...   |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 05:00 PM PDT  For the 12 years of Toyota Prius hybrid buyers who longed for a larger version, the Toyota Prius V wagon arrived in 2012 to answer their prayers. The largest overall and by far the most capacious Prius ever offered, it looks like a wagon version of the standard Prius--but the two vehicles share no sheetmetal. Instead, the Prius V expands in...   |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 04:45 PM PDT  The Toyota Prius C is one of the newest members of the expanding family of Prius hybrids, which now numbers four separate models. The mission of the little five-door Prius C is to be the smallest, least expensive hybrid in the lineup, while delivering the same 50-mpg combined gas mileage rating as its larger, more capacious, and pricier brethren...   |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2013 04:30 PM PDT  The Lexus CT 200h, an unexpected vehicle for Toyota's luxury brand, proved to be an unexpectedly enjoyable car when it was launched in 2011. It's unique in the Lexus lineup, the brand's only hatchback, and it really occupies its own niche in the market: There are no other compact luxury hybrid hatchbacks offered by any maker. The closest...   |
