| Posted: 07 Mar 2013 04:53 PM PST  The Ford Edge is a mid-size five-passenger crossover utility vehicle that fits between the bigger, more outdoorsy Explorer and the compact Escape—and perhaps alongside the three-row Flex—in Ford's current lineup. With a choice of four- and six-cylinder engines, and front- or all-wheel drive, the Edge is a competitor for other...      |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2013 03:23 PM PST  The Ford Fusion is a mid-size four-door sedan that competes with the likes of the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, and Chevrolet Malibu—albeit with a little more sportiness than most of its rivals. Just revamped this past model year, the current 2013 Ford Fusion adds a lot more style—and gets MyFord Touch connectivity plus a...   |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2013 03:19 PM PST  Replacing the Jaguar S-Type, the Jaguar XF is a luxurious performance sedan available with modern style and features, but a distinctly Jaguar sense of charm. In supercharged models, the XF is also extremely fast and sporty. Priced from the upper $40,000s into the $80,000s, the Jaguar XF competes with the Mercedes-Benz E Class, BMW 5-Series, and...   |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2013 03:15 PM PST  The Jaguar XK is a luxurious, sporty two-door coupe. Now in its second generation, the XK originally replaced the XJS coupe in 1997. All-aluminum and seriously sporty, the XK competes with the BMW 6-Series, Chevrolet Corvette, Mercedes-Benz S Class, and Porsche 911, particularly in supercharged XKR trim. The first-generation Jaguar XK was...   |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2013 03:10 PM PST  The Porsche Cayenne is a luxury SUV with a focus on performance. While it hasn't sat well with some enthusiasts, the Cayenne's sales success has helped not just to keep Porsche in business, but for the brand to thrive. This success has helped keep the iconic 911 as well as the Boxster and Cayman in production. For an in-depth look at every aspect...   |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2013 03:05 PM PST  The Porsche 911's two-door luxury sports coupe image has evolved over its 50-year run, but it remains among the cream of the crop. Its unique layout and performance make it without true equals, but many cars offer alternative takes on similar themes, including the Chevrolet Corvette, Audi R8, and Jaguar XK, XKR, and F-Type. Priced from just under...   |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2013 02:42 PM PST  With five-door hatchback and four-door sedan body styles, the Fiesta gives Ford a subcompact family of cars that range from economical and low-priced to sporty. The current 2013 Ford Fiesta faces the Honda Fit, Chevrolet Sonic, and Mazda2, along with the Kia Rio, Hyundai Accent, Toyota Yaris, Nissan Versa, and even the Fiat 500 and MINI Cooper...   |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2013 01:49 PM PST  While the current Civic has sold well, it’s been a bit of a disappointment for the most discerning (or demanding) small-car shoppers. That’s because while the market moved toward more refinement, sophistication, and features, the Civic kept it basic—perhaps too basic. But based on the more sophisticated look, upgraded...   |
| Subaru Recalls 47,419 Vehicles In U.S. For Remote Starter Issue Posted: 07 Mar 2013 12:38 PM PST  Subaru is recalling certain Legacy, Outback, Impreza and XV Crosstrek models from the 2010 through 2013 model years due to a remote starter that may allow vehicles to start without the key fob being pressed. A notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) puts the number of vehicles potentially affected in the U.S. at...   |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2013 12:31 PM PST  Timing isn't everything, but in the case of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA, it's one more big tactical advantage. The company's first compact four-door luxury sedan--its first front-drive car in America, ever--the grippy and gripping CLA goes on sale this fall at least a half-year before its German rivals can summon up a true four-door...   |
| 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid Video Road Test Posted: 07 Mar 2013 12:30 PM PST  When it comes to freedom of choice, the Jetta has it, from a turbocharged four cylinder, to an inline-five cylinder, to a hybrid. But which Jetta's right for you? And does it live up to the premium German hype while beating competitors such as the Ford Focus, Honda Civic, and Hyundai Elantra? Behind the wheel of our Jetta Hybrid tester it actually...   |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2013 12:02 PM PST  The LS sedans are the ne plus ultra members in an already luxurious Lexus lineup. With the 2013 Lexus LS 460 and its hybrid version, the LS 600h L, Lexus packs some of the most advanced technology found anywhere in its lineup, plus some of the richest finishes. This year, the LS gets a restyled exterior and interior, and the addition...   |
| Volvo XC60, Honda Civic, Lincoln MKZ, Mazda6: Top Safety Pick Plus Posted: 07 Mar 2013 12:01 PM PST  The 2013 Volvo XC60, Honda Civic, Lincoln MKZ, and Mazda 6 are all among the latest group of new vehicles to get the top nod from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) this week. All four managed to earn top 'good' ratings in frontal, side, and rear impact tests, as well as in the roof strength test—and at least an 'acceptable'...   |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2013 11:44 AM PST  Is the Scion xB a fashionable urban vehicle, or the closest thing to a refrigerator on four wheels? Like most unabashedly boxy vehicles, the Scion xB tends to be polarizing; and for those who like the look, the 2013 xB has a certain kind of charm that those in urban areas might especially appreciate--due to its decent space and...   |
| Posted: 07 Mar 2013 11:24 AM PST  Now that Chevrolet's small cars, like the Sonic hatchback and Cruze sedan, have given shoppers a reason to put the brand back onto their shopping list, it's the job of the 2013 Chevy Malibu to keep GM's fortunes headed in the right direction for the mid-size family-sedan class. The only hitch, perhaps, is that it's been downsized, as...   |
