Ford Apologizes For Ad Featuring Paris Hilton & Bound, Gagged Kardashians Posted: 25 Mar 2013 08:30 AM PDT  Ford's thoughtful approach to marketing yields huge dividends. Its "Fiesta Movement" campaign, for example, remains the yardstick by which other social media forays are measured. But that doesn't mean that Ford and its numerous agency partners are infallible. Sometimes, mistakes are made, leaving Ford to backtrack, as it's currently doing for a...  |

And that has encouraged one state legislator in West Virginia to propose banning Google Glass for drivers long before the device goes on sale. Like many Americans, Republican Gary G. Howell has seen the video clips and news reports about Google...  |

Volkswagen Jetta Posted: 25 Mar 2013 04:00 AM PDT  For many years now, the Volkswagen Jetta has been VW's best-selling car in the U.S. The compact four-door sedan is built on the same underpinnings as the Golf compact hatchback--VW's mainstay worldwide. But with U.S. buyers preferring sedans, and the Jetta being carefully priced in the heart of the compact segment (thanks to assembly in Mexico)...  |

GM lost two-thirds of its market share from 1970 to 2010, and Toyota's Corolla was one of...  |

Nissan Rogue Posted: 25 Mar 2013 03:15 AM PDT  Of the many vehicles in the compact crossover segment, the Nissan Rogue is among the most car-like. It's effectively a new-era wagon, with few pretenses at any kind of off-road capability and little of the aggressive styling of the sport-utility vehicles that spawned the category 15 years ago. The Rogue was launched as a 2008 model, and the 2013...  |
Toyota RAV4 Posted: 25 Mar 2013 03:00 AM PDT  The Toyota RAV4 was one of the first compact crossovers to enter the U.S. market, and it has been among the best-selling vehicles in that segment ever since. For 2013, a new and redesigned fourth-generation RAV4 was launched at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show, replacing the version that ran for seven years from 2006 to 2012. That new 2013 Toyota...  |
