As we roll through our 30-day road test of the 2013 Ram 1500, we're ready to file our first report on the big reason we chose a V-6 instead of one of the Ram's better-known V-8s. Gas mileage isn't usually the first step in the decision tree when it comes to buying a pickup truck. If gas mileage is a deciding factor, though, it could be the reason...
For years, advocates have been pushing for legislation that would require rental car companies to fix recalled vehicles before loaning them to customers. The rental car industry helped kill such a bill last year, but a new version has been drafted, and it's now working its way through Congress. Only problem is, according to Detroit News, the...
Today at The Car Connection, we reviewed the 2014 Toyota 4Runner and Cadillac recalled the 2013 SRX crossover. Ford announced it's going to stop producing cars in Australia, and we discussed four convertibles with good gas mileage. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. Will Infiniti's upcoming compact car spawn a...

Hyundai and Kia have an interesting relationship. They're separate automakers, with distinct design language and a driving feel all their own. Yet they share the same South Korean parent company, as well as car platforms, powertrains, and other core technologies. The Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte sedans are a good example of the excellent job the...
If you haven't noticed, Cadillac is back up to form, producing some standout sport sedans, with its ATS and CTS models—and of course the top-performance CTS-V. Yet it's worth remembering that those bold, brash sport sedans don't exactly appeal to the heart of the luxury market. And for all the Cadillac who might shrug when you talk of...
The Subaru WRX and STI may look like siblings of the economical Impreza sedan and hatchback, but they're more than that. These juiced-up Subarus are the performance versions of the brand's compact cars, with turbocharged flat-four cylinder engines under the hood and excellent handling from their all-wheel drive. It's a magical combination, if you...
The Chevrolet Cruze is, quite frankly, a better car than the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. Behind its subtle styling is a top-shelf alternative to every other car in the compact economy car segment. It's built with excellent safety, features, comfort and interior room–and it's now one of our top recommendations for small cars, alongside the...
The Hyundai Elantra comes in sedan, coupe and hatchback guises, but it's more than just a car. It's an example of how quickly South Korea has learned from Japanese automaker successes and rewritten the metaphorical playbook. The Elantra came out of nowhere to become one of the best-selling and best all-around compact cars available in the U.S...
It may have entered as a dark horse in the mid-size sedan segment two years ago, but now the Hyundai Sonata has earned a reputation for its swoopy, attractive styling. Its current mission is to become one the best family sedans on the market today, and while it hasn't quite hit the mark on handling or refinement, it's a solid choice if you're...
The Ford Edge was never a true SUV; it was brought into this world purely as a crossover. It's a tall-roofed family wagon, and it's been successful that way. With a spacious interior, the availability of a few fuel-saving engines and one of the most feature-robust connectivity tools on the market, it's seen a few minor updates for the 2013 model...
It's hard to complain when you're the best-selling pickup truck on the market, and for the new model year, the 2013 Ford F-150 has added a few features, too. That's important, because the competition is gaining ground in their attempt to catch up with this Ford's sales. The F-150's been one of the top-rated trucks here for years, and it keeps its...
Some of the cars in the mid-size sedan market have become a bit lazy. The Chevrolet Malibu and Toyota Camry have both lost some sense of direction, while the Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima, Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata have all gained ground with new design and useful new features. The 2013 Honda Accord cleaves the group of mid-sizers in two: it's...
While the Honda Civic may have seen a redesign in 2012, the new model fell short of meeting the expectations of discerning small-car shoppers. That’s because while the market moved toward more refinement, sophistication, and features, the Civic kept it basic—perhaps too basic. With that in mind, Honda's 2013 Civic has seen yet another...
