| Posted: 24 Apr 2013 11:26 AM PDT  The Kia Optima is a mass-market four-door sedan, and a rival to best-sellers like the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Honda Accord, Ford Fusion, and the Optima's corporate cousin, the Hyundai Sonata. This family-friendly four-door was a little lackluster until 2011, when a full redesign made it a strong, top-tier competitor. Today, the Optima shares...      |
| Posted: 24 Apr 2013 11:21 AM PDT  The Audi A7 is a sumptuously styled derivative of the A6 four-door sedan. A sexy five-door hatchback, the A7 is Audi's entry in the class of "four-door coupes" that include vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz CLS and the BMW 6-Series Gran Sport--and it gets even hotter in the S7 performance edition, and in the even faster RS7 edition arriving soon in...   |
| Posted: 24 Apr 2013 11:19 AM PDT  The Mercedes-Benz CLS is an expressive alternative to vehicles like the Audi A7, Jaguar XF, and BMW 6-Series Gran Sport. A "four-door coupe," according to the marketing-speak, the CLS is a tony derivative of, and rival to, Mercedes' own E-Class lineup, though the sleeker shape does actually have four doors with frameless glass. It's offered only...   |
| Posted: 24 Apr 2013 11:15 AM PDT  The Mercedes-Benz SLK Class is the baby brother to the SL--a hardtop convertible with room for two passengers and a fair amount of luggage. The SLK ranges from a base four-cylinder turbo with decent acceleration and a reasonable price tag, to the SLK55 AMG, which doles out 355 hp to the rear wheels of the compact luxury roadster. Read our review...   |
| Posted: 24 Apr 2013 10:46 AM PDT  The Buick Regal is a mid-size four-door sedan that's pitched as a premium alternative to bigger, less luxurious family cars, and as a more sporty alternative to Buick's own smaller Verano and larger LaCrosse sedans. Current versions are front-wheel drive, although all-wheel drive is on the way for several 2014 Buick Regal models. See our 2013...   |
| Posted: 24 Apr 2013 10:05 AM PDT  The Subaru Legacy is, pretty true to its name now, the longest-running nameplate in the brand's U.S. lineup. It's has included four-door sedans and five-door wagons, and it's arguably—if you include the Outback spinoff—the model that that saved Subaru, launching the upward trajectory that continues in the U.S. to this day. These days...   |
| NHTSA's Distracted-Driving Guidelines Say Hands-Free Calls Are A-Okay Posted: 24 Apr 2013 08:45 AM PDT  In February of 2012, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a rough draft of preliminary recommendations on distracted driving. Those recommendations were aimed specifically at automakers in the hopes of guiding the vehicle design process and minimizing driver distractions. Now that...   |
| Kickstarter Project Of The Day: Drive With Dash Posted: 24 Apr 2013 08:02 AM PDT  Once upon a time, apps were pretty simple. Most were little more than websites that had been optimized for pint-sized smartphone screens. (Remember GasBook?) Then came social networking integration. Apps like Waze leveraged the power of the crowd to track traffic, roadway construction, and other issues in real time. Now we're entering the next...   |
| Buick Riviera Concept, Chevy Spark EV Range, Cadillac ATS Coupe: Car News Headlines Posted: 24 Apr 2013 08:00 AM PDT  Today at The Car Connection, we took a closer look at the powertrain technology in the Buick Riviera Concept and Volkswagen announced the 2013 Passat Wolfsburg Edition. The EPA rated the 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV electric car's range and a coupe version of the Cadillac ATS might be coming next year. All this and more in today's car news, right here...   |
| Posted: 24 Apr 2013 06:54 AM PDT  The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a two-door, two-plus-two sports coupe. With value pricing and engaging dynamics, the Genesis Coupe is the only sports car in Hyundai's range. While Hyundai isn't yet known for its ability to produce dynamic, well-handling cars, the Genesis Coupe is working to build that reputation. Unrelated to the Genesis sedan in...   |
| Posted: 24 Apr 2013 06:05 AM PDT  The Mazda CX-5 is a compact family crossover with sportier-than-average driving traits. With cargo capacity and people-hauling abilities, as well as all-wheel drive all-weather capability, the CX-5 is a balanced mix of fun and utility. New for the 2013 model year, the CX-5 is Mazda's first attempt to take on directly vehicles like the Toyota RAV4...   |
| Posted: 24 Apr 2013 05:33 AM PDT  The BMW 6-Series is a luxurious, sporty mid-to-large car, available as a coupe, convertible, and four-door coupe/sedan. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is available on most models. High-performance M variants add to the range of six- and eight-cylinder engines. With its blend of style, speed, and sophistication, the BMW...   |
