| Posted: 11 Apr 2013 03:59 PM PDT  The Audi A3 is a compact luxury hatchback that has, until now, been one of the few luxury-brand models in this class--except for the Volvo C30 and Lexus CT 200h. The Audi A3 is a pioneer here, having been on sale in its current form since 2006. An all-new model, already on sale in Europe, will arrive in the States for the 2015 model year, and will...      |
| Posted: 11 Apr 2013 02:56 PM PDT  As a mid-size sedan that has its roots in the vastly inferior and unloved Chrysler Sebring, the Chrysler 200 faces tough competition from the rest of the major players, including the Chevrolet Malibu, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, and Toyota Camry as well as the Hyundai Sonata. For more on the 200, including pricing with options, see our full review...   |
| Posted: 11 Apr 2013 02:50 PM PDT  Crossover vehicles are now the family norm; yet not every family who needs wagon-like carrying capacity and all-wheel drive wants a tall, truck-like vehicle. The Audi Allroad, a well-regarded model resurrected for the 2013 model year, is essentially an A4 Avant wagon with slightly more ground clearance, more rugged trim details, and a more...   |
| Posted: 11 Apr 2013 02:32 PM PDT  The Buick Enclave is the GM brand's large family utility vehicle. As a crossover that can seat up to eight passengers in three rows, the Enclave is a relative of the Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia--and by extension, the now-discontinued Saturn Outlook and Saab 9-4X. See our 2013 Buick Enclave review for pricing with options, specifications, and gas...   |
| Posted: 11 Apr 2013 02:07 PM PDT  The Buick Verano is a compact four-door sedan. The Verano shares its front-wheel-drive architecture with the Chevrolet Cruze, but almost everything in contact with the driver is new or substantially upgraded. Introduced as a 2012 model and updated with a new turbo powertrain offering for the 2013 model year, the Verano is aimed at buyers looking...   |
| Posted: 11 Apr 2013 11:34 AM PDT  The Lexus GS was the third sedan added to Toyota's luxury-car lineup, back in 1993. The rear-wheel-drive, mid-size sedan has changed over time to add hybrid and all-wheel-drive models, but it's still Lexus' challenger for the best-selling luxosedans from some big names: Mercedes-Benz and its E-Class, BMW and its 5-Series, Audi and its A6. See our...   |
| Posted: 11 Apr 2013 11:29 AM PDT  The Mercedes-Benz GLK is the German automaker's smallest crossover SUV. Introduced in the 2010 model year, the GLK competes with vehicles like the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Range Rover Evoque--and this year, it adds a turbodiesel engine to its lineup to boost its fuel economy. Read our 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK review for pricing with options...   |
| Elon Musk: If Tesla Can't Sell Cars In Texas, It'll Be At "The Back Of The Bus" Posted: 11 Apr 2013 08:50 AM PDT  Yes, you read that headline correctly: Elon Musk is essentially calling himself a Freedom Rider, comparing Tesla's push to sell all-electric vehicles to America's Civil Rights Movement. CEOs say the darndest things. TESLA, TEXAS, AND TESTIMONY As we reported on Monday, Musk has spent the past week in the Lone Star state, lobbying legislators to...   |
| Fiat 500 Abarth Gets Automatic Transmission To Woo Female Shoppers Posted: 11 Apr 2013 08:14 AM PDT  The launch of the Fiat 500 didn't go as smoothly as some had hoped. First, Chrysler dealers had to build special showrooms for the new model, since CEO Sergio Marchionne didn't want Fiats sold alongside other Chrysler brands. That slowed the rollout process. Then came the ads, featuring spokesmodel Jennifer Lopez. They raised brand awareness to be...   |
| Posted: 11 Apr 2013 07:33 AM PDT  Priced from more than $60,000 in base form to almost $100,000 as a GL63 AMG, the Mercedes-Benz GL Class is a large SUV with three rows of seating. The GL rivals the big SUVs from other luxury brands, including the Land Rover Range Rover, Cadillac Escalade, and Lexus LX 570. It's also one of three vehicles built by the German automaker in the...   |
| AMG Hybrids, 2014 Ford Fusion, Fisker and Congress: Today's Car News Posted: 11 Apr 2013 07:33 AM PDT  Today at The Car Connection, Congress set a hearing to discuss Fisker's loans and we reviewed the 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser. We took a look at six new plug-in electric cars that are coming in 2014 and a survey found some disturbing results regarding parents buckling up their children. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car...   |
