| Posted: 21 Mar 2013 04:30 PM PDT  The Mazda CX-5 is the compact crossover for the family that really wants a sport sedan but needs the cargo capacity and people hauling abilities of an all-wheel drive utility vehicle. New for 2013, it's the first effort by Mazda to go head-to-head with the leaders in the segment--the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Ford Escape--and while it's...      |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2013 03:30 PM PDT  The Honda Civic is really the car that built Honda in the United States, going from a minicar in the 1970s to the current compact lineup of a four-door sedan and a two-door coupe. There are model variations of many types, with trim levels ranging from basic economy-car versions through the luxurious Civic EX model. The sedan is more practical, the...   |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2013 03:15 PM PDT  The Nissan Versa may well be the most spacious-feeling of all the cars competing in the entry-level subcompact segment of the new-car market. It offers more space than most of its competitors, and the back seat will hold two conventionally-sized adults in either the four-door sedan or the five-door hatchback. Despite the roominess, it remains one...   |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2013 03:00 PM PDT  The Honda Fit may be the oldest subcompact on the market, but it remains the one with unparalleled space efficiency and by far the most reconfigurable and flexible interior. The current car was launched during 2008 as a 2009 model, and will likely be replaced with an all-new entry for the 2015 model year. The Fit competes with the new-for-2013...   |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2013 09:59 AM PDT  The Mercedes-Benz CLS is what some marketing gurus call a "four-door coupe." By definition a sedan, the CLS has a shapely silhouette that looks something like a two-door, from the frameless glass to the low roofline. In essence, it's a very stylish version of the Mercedes E-Class, offered only in the four-door body style, and outfitted either with...   |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2013 09:49 AM PDT  The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is the Gelaedewagen--the long-lived, instantly recognizable Benz SUV that has a backstory better than any other quasi-military sport-utility vehicle this side of the dead HUMMER brand. On one level a supremely capable off-roader, the G-Class is also a super-luxury ute with almost all the trappings you'd find in a Mercedes...   |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2013 09:43 AM PDT  The Lincoln MKZ is the Ford brand's newest offering for the current model year. The four-door sedan has been redesigned this year, for the third time in just seven years, after joining the Lincoln lineup in the 2006 model year under a different name. The MKZ's based on the 2013 Ford Fusion, our Best Car To Buy winner, but gets one unique...   |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2013 09:40 AM PDT  The Kia Optima is the South Korean automaker's mass-market sedan. The family-friendly four-door was a little lackluster until its most recent major model change in 2011--and since then it's proven to be a strong competitor in a class filled with best-sellers like the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Honda Accord, Ford Fusion, and the Optima's...   |
| Young Buyers Turn Their Backs On Japan, Look To Detroit & South Korea Posted: 21 Mar 2013 08:00 AM PDT  The data is clear: folks under 35 aren't as interested in owning a car as their parents and grandparents were. But that doesn't mean they've given up on cars entirely -- and when they do need a set of wheels, they're spending less time loitering on the lots of Toyota, Honda, and other Japanese brands. That's big news, and it comes to us via...   |
| 2014 Kia Forte Priced, 2013 Audi Q5 Reviewed, 2014 Camaro Teased: Today's Car News Posted: 21 Mar 2013 08:00 AM PDT  Today at The Car Connection, Audi priced the new 2014 RS 5 Cabriolet and teased the new 2014 A3 sedan. General Motors recalled the 2013 Cadillac SRX and Buick LaCrosse, and Hyundai previewed the next-generation Genesis Coupe with the HND-9 Concept. All this and more in today's car news, right here on the Car Connection. Audi teased the new 2014 A3...   |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2013 07:26 AM PDT  The Jaguar XF came late to the mid-size luxury sedan soiree--decades after the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5-Series, even the Audi A6 had carved up much of the territory for themselves. But the XF has had the Jaguar name and a deft styling pen at its back, and now it has the few missing pieces of hardware it's needed, as it tries to...   |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2013 07:21 AM PDT  The GMC Sierra 1500 is a full-size pickup truck that's in many ways identical to Chevy's Silverado. It's one of GM's big family of trucks and SUVs, all of which share a common platform. The family not only includes the Sierra and Silverado, but also the GMC Yukon and Chevy Suburban SUVs, the Cadillac Escalade, and in the past, it's included the...   |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2013 07:19 AM PDT  The GMC Yukon is a cousin to Chevy's Suburban and Tahoe as well as the Cadillac Escalade. It's a full-size sport-utility vehicle offered in two wheelbase lengths, Yukon and Yukon XL, with a companion hybrid model and lavishly equipped Denali editions. It's in the same segment, and competes with, those other GM SUVs, as well as the Ford Expedition...   |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2013 06:58 AM PDT  The Ford Expedition is one of the diehards--a big SUV that's hung on to fans despite the massive turndown in full-size sport-ute sales. It competes with the top-selling Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon, the Nissan Armada and the Toyota Sequoia. The Expedition was brand-new in the 1997 model year, and was revised significantly for the 2003 model...   |
| Cadillac SRX, Buick LaCrosse Recalled For Transmission Issue Posted: 21 Mar 2013 06:55 AM PDT  General Motors is recalling certain 2013 model year Cadillac SRX crossovers and Buick LaCrosse sedans to fix a software glitch that could cause the transmission to shift unexpectedly from manual to automatic mode. A notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website puts the number of vehicles potentially affected by the...   |
