| Posted: 05 Apr 2013 02:41 PM PDT  The Acura RLX is a full-size luxury sedan, and Acura's largest sedan offering. Replacing the RL that preceded it, the RLX adds more features and a new take on luxury style, seeking to move Acura's top end a touch higher. As the biggest, most technology-rich offering in the Acura lineup, the RLX brings with it several new features that highlight...      |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2013 02:38 PM PDT  The Aston Martin Rapide may take its name from the Lagonda Rapide of the 1960s, but it's an entirely modern mixture of luxury, speed, and style--in a very fast four-door package. Arguably the most attractive high-performance four-door on the market, the Rapide's only real competitors are the Maserati Quattroporte and Porsche Panamera. Few changes...   |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2013 02:35 PM PDT  The Cadillac ATS is a compact luxury sedan, all-new to the Cadillac range for the 2013 model year. Filling in the space below the CTS, itself just re-launched for 2014, the ATS is now Cadillac's entry to compete against the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes-Benz C Class, and Audi A4 as well as the Lexus IS and upcoming Infiniti Q50. See our full review of...   |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2013 02:33 PM PDT  The Acura RDX is a luxury compact crossover, completely redesigned and updated for the 2013 model year--though it is still based on the Honda CR-V. On the market for the past seven years, the RDX is now more conservative but also more mainstream in its look and its equipment. With its new focus, the Acura RDX competes most closely with mid-market...   |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2013 02:27 PM PDT  The Toyota Tacoma is a mid-size pickup with cargo, off-road, and towing capabilities that would have ranked among the full-size trucks of a decade ago--though it didn't start out that way when it launched in the mid-1990s. Now one of the few remaining mid-size trucks on the market, the Tacoma competes primarily with the Nissan Frontier, at least...   |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2013 02:22 PM PDT  The Toyota Venza is a five-door vehicle that straddles the lines between crossover, wagon, and hatchback. Despite its nebulous form--or perhaps because of it--the Venza offers a useful mix of features and space. Marrying the gas mileage and ride quality of a car with the higher driving position and cargo of a crossover, but without the off-road...   |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2013 02:20 PM PDT  The Ford Fiesta is a five-door hatchback or four-door sedan, forming Ford's smallest family of subcompact cars. Spanning a range from economical and inexpensive to sporty and stylish, the Fiesta faces off against a large and growing range of competitors, including the Honda Fit, Mazda2, Kia Rio, Hyundai Accent, Chevy Sonic, Toyota Yaris, Nissan...   |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2013 02:01 PM PDT  The Volkswagen Touareg SUV plays a sort of double role in VW's model line. On one side, it's meant to be the premium up-sell from a Jetta or Passat, or to be the somewhat more affordable alternative to true luxury-brand SUVs? On the other hand, it's VW's only mid-size utility-vehicle offering. And as Volkswagen has lowered prices in...   |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2013 01:54 PM PDT  After a decade of being sidelined as a somewhat smaller, pricier alternative to Asian and American compact cars, the Volkswagen Jetta has joined the mainstream. With more back-seat space and a more competitive feature set, the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta is now a bigger and less expensive vehicle that still delivers what VW buyers are...   |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2013 12:50 PM PDT  The GMC name might bring to mind well-muscled work trucks and similarly burly sport-utes, but there's a pair of crossovers with the three-letter badge, too. The GMC Acadia is the larger of the two: it's the eight-passenger companion to the five-seat Terrain, and it's a more masculine alternative not to the SUV, but to the minivan. Over...   |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2013 12:26 PM PDT  The 2013 Toyota Venza might be one of the better vehicles to put on your shortlist, if you're the type who prefers a hatch to a trunk, and wants a vehicle that rides just a bit higher. More so if you find all those requisite rugged cues on so many crossovers and utility vehicles to be turn-offs. In lieu of a Camry Wagon, the Venza...   |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2013 11:57 AM PDT  The appeal of the 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser is quite limited, but it's a star player at its game. Simply put, the FJ is ready for a rocky trail, yet stylish enough to head straight into one of the fashionable spots in town after a day of adventuring. There's no attempt at family practicality here; no masquerading as a plush luxury...   |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2013 11:32 AM PDT  Compact pickups are falling to the wayside in the U.S. market; yet the Toyota Tacoma is a survivor. The Ford Ranger has exited the market, and the GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado compact pickups are taking a transition year off--leaving the Tacoma as one of the few not-full-size trucks sticking it out. Toyota's even invested more in the...   |
| Subaru WRX Concept, 2014 Range Rover Sport, 2014 Jeep Cherokee: Top Videos Of The Week Posted: 05 Apr 2013 10:30 AM PDT  While we were busy spending the week recovering from the 2013 New York Auto Show, you were clearly busy watching all of our video previews. There seems to be some excitement surrounding the Subaru WRX Concept, and we can see why, it's gorgeous. Another good-looking vehicle revealed in New York last week is the new 2014 Range Rover Sport, and it's...   |
| Fisker: An Influential Disaster Posted: 05 Apr 2013 09:05 AM PDT  New car companies are difficult to launch. That's why they're rare. Before the world heard of Fisker Automotive, the last major new car company to emerge from America's economic cauldron was Chrysler. That was in 1925. Fisker Automotive's rise to celebrity status in the green-car world had its allure--but it always had an uncertain road to...   |
