| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 04:09 PM PDT  The Honda Pilot is mid-size sport-utility or crossover vehicle that takes aim at families with its roomy interior and versatile layout. It's has grown boxier and more truck-like in design over its years on the market, but it's still carlike to drive--and only mildly capable off-road, despite an optional all-wheel drive system. When it was rolled...      |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 03:53 PM PDT  Aimed toward weekend-warrior types who really want to get away from the pavement, the Nissan Xterra is a five-passenger SUV that still puts the focus on off-road prowess. The U.S.-built Xterra is derived from the Nissan Frontier pickup, and it's one of the few sport-utility vehicles left of its kind--the kind expressly built for off-road...   |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 03:45 PM PDT  The five-seat Chevrolet Equinox is Chevy's entry in the hotly competitive compact crossover market. Like all the major contenders in this large segment, these vehicles substitute for the work that wagons used to do a generation ago. The very wide swath of not-so-rugged crossover wagons includes the perennial category leaders--the Ford Escape...   |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 03:30 PM PDT  The Mazda2 subcompact hatchback is the smallest car in the Mazda model range, 2 inches shorter even than the famed MX-5 Miata two-seat sports car. It lets Mazda offer a vehicle to those who need a very short car for urban parking, cost-conscious commuters, and younger drivers who want their first taste of the "Zoom-Zoom" experience. But it's a...   |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 03:25 PM PDT  The Hyundai Equus is a luxury sedan in nearly every way—with all the features, performance, and comfort you'd expect—yet without a prestigious luxury badge. To some, who want the comforts but are happy to skip the 'I have money' declaration of higher-profile luxury-brand sedans, the Equus is a good fit. True to its name, the Equus is...   |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 03:15 PM PDT  The Nissan Sentra has been a stalwart in the U.S. compact-car segment for more than three decades now. While not quite as successful as the perennial class leaders, the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, the Sentra has grown with the times to become bigger and more stylish, and add more luxury features. Today, it remains a front-wheel-drive four-door...   |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 03:15 PM PDT  The Lexus CT 200h is an unexpected entry for Toyota's often-conservative luxury brand. As the brand's only hatchback, it proved to be a surprisingly enjoyable car when it was launched in 2011, and it really occupies its own niche in the market: Even today, there remain no other compact luxury hybrid hatchbacks offered by any maker. The closest...   |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 03:00 PM PDT  When you think of seven-passenger mid-size crossovers, do you think of the Kia Sorento? Perhaps not--there are better-known vehicles in the segment that have been around far longer--but Kia is working aggressively to change that. Sharing some underpinnings with the Hyundai Santa Fe lineup (which now comes in short and long wheelbases), the Sorento...   |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 03:00 PM PDT  The BMW X5 is a full-size luxury SUV, or Sports Activity Vehicle, as BMW styles it. It was BMW's first SUV when introduced in 1999, and remains the brand's largest vehicle. With all-wheel drive standard, a range of six-cylinder and V-8 engines, the U.S.-built X5 competes primarily with the Audi Q7, Mercedes-Benz M Class, Cadillac Escalade, and...   |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 02:56 PM PDT  The Chevrolet Camaro is a two-door coupe with muscle-car styling and performance. Around since the 1960s, except for a brief break in the early 21st century, the Camaro has built a strong and enthusiastic fan base, and competes primarily with its crosstown rivals, the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger. Available in current form in base, RS, SS...   |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 02:51 PM PDT  The Jaguar XJ is a full-size luxury four-door sedan. Jaguar's largest vehicle, the XJ is now in its fourth full generation. With a completely new look for 2011 and new powertrains for 2013, the Jaguar XJ is well-equipped to take on competition like the Mercedes-Benz S Class, BMW 7-Series, and Audi A8. For the 2013 model year the XJ also adds two...   |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 02:49 PM PDT  The Dodge Grand Caravan is the longest-serving of Chrysler's minivan nameplates--both part of the family for 30 years and a savior for the company at least a couple of times. While neither short-wheelbase Caravan models nor all-wheel-drive versions are any longer part of the mix, and Chrysler's narrowed the focus of its vans, they continue as an...   |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 02:47 PM PDT  The Porsche Cayman is a compact two-seat sports coupe. With the driving experience at the forefront of the car's mission, but a luxurious and stylish look inside and out, the Cayman competes with the Chevrolet Corvette, Audi TTS, Infiniti G37 Coupe, and Nissan 370Z. Although the Boxster has been sold since the 1997 model year, the Cayman was only...   |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 02:45 PM PDT  Already entering its second generation, the Kia Forte compact is another in a series of Kia cars that have boosted the brand's design, amenities, and reputation. The Forte four-door sedan replaced the previous Spectra model in 2010, along with a two-door Koup model; a five-door hatchback known as the Forte5 arrived one year later in 2011. (Its...   |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 02:29 PM PDT  The Porsche Panamera is a four-door, high-performance luxury sedan. Ranging from quick and sporty to near-supercar fast, the Panamera blends speed, space, and comfort in a way few other cars manage. The Aston Martin Rapide, Audi A7, Maserati Quattroporte, and Mercedes-Benz CLS Class offer alternative takes on the Panamera's balance. Many models...   |
