| Posted: 04 Mar 2013 04:08 PM PST  The Honda Pilot is a roomy, family-friendly entry in the mid-size sport-utility or crossover segment. Though it has grown boxier and more truck-like in design over its years on the market, it's still car-like to drive--and only mildly capable off-road, despite an option all-wheel drive system. When it was rolled out in 2003, the Pilot was...      |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2013 03:57 PM PST  The Toyota Tundra is the longest-running full-size truck outside of the major American brands, and while critics have often found the Tundra to be the wrong size or aimed at the wrong audience, it has also met praise for its non-standard approach to the pickup scene. Launched in 2000 as a replacement to the T100, the Tundra is now in its 13th...   |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2013 03:52 PM PST  The Hyundai Genesis Sedan was the brand's first foray into truly premium vehicles, and while the total brand image may not reflect that premium feel, it has done a lot to expand Hyundai's range and reach. As a large, rear-wheel drive, four-door sedan with premium equipment for a reasonable price, the Genesis offers a midpoint between the mid-size...   |
| Pot Smoking Could Affect Driving For Weeks, Researchers Suggest Posted: 04 Mar 2013 12:55 PM PST  Does marijuana affect driving safety, and if so, how dangerous are pot-smoking drivers? There’s definitely evidence to suggest recent use might, even at somewhat low levels, increase the chances of an accident. But with recreational use now legal in Colorado and Washington, and medical use now allowed in a number of other states, what are...   |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2013 11:30 AM PST  While the Nissan Leaf was the first mass-produced modern battery-electric car to be sold in the U.S., it changed in a couple of important ways for the 2013 model year. Not only was a new base model added--the Leaf S--but it got some equipment updates, and prices were reduced across the board because its assembly switched from Japan to Nissan's...   |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2013 11:00 AM PST  The Nissan Pathfinder has been with us since the Eighties, and with its most recent model in 2013, it's completed the evolution from tough, truck-based sport-utility vehicle to a smooth, car-based mid-size crossover for family use. While its selling point used to be ruggedness and function, the definition of those qualities has changed as...   |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2013 10:30 AM PST  What wagons were to a previous generation, mid-size crossover utility vehicles are to today's families. But among the many offerings, the Nissan Murano stands out as sportier behind the wheel and arguably more stylish in design than blander offerings from other makers. Underneath, it shares running gear and other parts with the Altima mid-size...   |

| Women Drivers Outnumber Men, But Men Have Higher Fatality Rate On The Road Posted: 04 Mar 2013 08:00 AM PST  In the early part of the 20th century, it was unusual to see women behind the wheel. But as viewers of Downton Abbey know, that began to change during World War I, when women were permitted to do things previously deemed "unseemly". Case in point: Gertrude Stein learned to drive so she could deliver hospital supplies to the French military (though...   |
