Ram 1500 Posted: 02 Apr 2013 03:35 PM PDT  The Ram 1500, formerly known as the Dodge Ram, is a full-size pickup that forms the core of the new Ram Trucks brand. With its fresh looks and potent engine range, it competes with the Ford F-150, GMC Sierra, and Chevy Silverado--and to a lesser degree, the Toyota Tundra. The Ram 1500's American competitors have all be heavily updated or revised...  |
2014 Toyota Highlander Video Preview Posted: 02 Apr 2013 03:30 PM PDT  Toyota has introduced the third-generation Highlander, renewing its lease on the family crossover space with more refinement and updated styling. While the Highlander has indeed grown longer, that extra length isn't found between the wheels, meaning the interior will be about the same size as the last generation. There are three rows of seats in...  |
Honda Civic Posted: 02 Apr 2013 03:04 PM PDT  As the car that first put Honda on the map for car shoppers in the United States, in the 1970s, the Civic has evolved and grown, from what was originally a minicar to the current compact lineup of a four-door sedan and a two-door coupe. Currently, the Civic comes in a wide range of models; the sedan is more practical, the coupe is...  |
Hyundai Genesis Coupe Posted: 02 Apr 2013 02:07 PM PDT  Hyundai's Genesis Coupe is a sporty, two-door, two-plus-two sports coupe with a clear eye on the entry-level end of the market. The lone true sports car in Hyundai's range, the Genesis Coupe is building the brand's reputation for real handling dynamics. Unrelated to the Genesis sedan in anything but name, the Genesis Coupe competes with a wide...  |
Ford Mustang Posted: 02 Apr 2013 01:04 PM PDT  The Ford Mustang is a two-door, rear-wheel-drive sporty coupe or convertible--and it's an American icon. One of the most widely known nameplates in the automotive universe, the Mustang is approaching the half-century mark, having sold more than 9 million copies since it was first introduced in April of 1964. See our 2013 Ford Mustang review for...  |

2013 Nissan Rogue Posted: 02 Apr 2013 12:14 PM PDT  The 2013 Nissan Rogue nails the crossover basics without spending too much time on above-and-beyond attributes. It's optimized for small families and small budgets, so in the balance, its middling acceleration and the lack of some features seems like a fair trade. The affordable, versatile Rogue also happens to be one of the...  |
2013 Volkswagen Tiguan Posted: 02 Apr 2013 12:13 PM PDT  Simplicity, practicality, and value have been central to Volkswagen's push in the U.S. this past decade; and in design, packaging, purpose, the Tiguan compact crossover stays true to these priorities, perhaps better than any other model in the lineup. The 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan won't necessarily win crossover shoppers over for its...  |
2013 Subaru WRX Posted: 02 Apr 2013 11:54 AM PDT  The Subaru WRX and STI have some tenuous links to the Impreza sedan and hatchback, but the resemblance ends at the silhouette. No wallflowers, the hottest Subies are juiced-up versions of the brand's compact cars, with a fresh blast of turbocharged flat-four power under the hood and super-nimble all-wheel drive controlling the wheels...  |
2013 Kia Optima Posted: 02 Apr 2013 11:38 AM PDT  The Kia Optima gets a lot of credit for transforming its brand. In the 2011 year, it adopted a brand-new look that's one of the best-looking shapes in the mid-size sedan class--and with sophisticated new drivetrains and better handling than ever, the Optima suddenly had catapulted itself way out of its bland orbit. Today, it remains...  |
2013 Toyota 4Runner Posted: 02 Apr 2013 11:38 AM PDT  The 2013 Toyota 4Runner is more of a niche model today; as the market has migrated toward softer crossover designs, the 4Runner has stood its ground, still focused on providing the kind of rugged trail ability that seduced American families en masse in the 1990s. Only this time, ironically, it has a lot more of what those families...  |
2013 Hyundai Elantra Posted: 02 Apr 2013 11:23 AM PDT  The Hyundai Elantra is more than a lineup of compact sedans, coupes, and hatchbacks. It's an example of how quickly South Korea's automakers have absorbed the lessons that it took decades for the Japanese brands to put together in a playbook. The Elantra's come from nowhere--by way of its home country and Alabama--to become one of the...  |
2013 Audi Q7 Posted: 02 Apr 2013 11:13 AM PDT  On-road capability and comfort for the family are the clear priorities in the large-and-luxurious 2013 Audi Q7.Not that you're likely to need much in the way of off-road capability, anyway, of course. On-road, the quattro all-wheel drive will tackle harsh conditions with grace. Don't let the extra size of the Audi Q7 compared to the...  |
2013 Kia Sportage Posted: 02 Apr 2013 10:49 AM PDT  Wagons and minivans are fine for some families, but others need something in a more athletic style. The Kia Sportage fits that bill: it's a grippy, pert little hatchback that puts on some SUV airs when it needs to carry people and make it through foul weather. But it skips the whole live-axle, locking-differential fantasy world of...  |
