As automakers go, Terrafugia is a niche company. In fact, let's call it "super-niche": manufacturers like Tesla may cater to a very limited subset of buyers, but Terrafugia's target market is even narrower. That's because Terrafugia makes flying cars. They're not as cool-looking as the rides you've seen in movies and comic books since you were a...
We all remember what it was like to be a kid, trapped in the back seat, cutting up with brothers or sisters or schoolmates. Our parents would turn around and give us "that look", promising all sorts of punishments if we didn't keep still. Occasionally, they'd pull over to the side of the road, which was the most ominous threat of all. (In their...
Today at The Car Connection Buick and BMW issued recalls and we discussed how Tesla's making money. Ford's hybrid sales are soaring and GM might build an affordable rear-wheel-drive sports car. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. BMW recalled 42,000 2002-2003 3-Series vehicles due to an airbag issue. Here are...

Hatchbacks may be the workhorses of Europe, but here in the U.S., they're only now regaining in popularity, after decades dominated by SUVs. You probably have plenty of questions when considering a new hatchback, especially since today's models aren't just economy cars--not when you include five-door models like the Porsche Panamera and the Audi...
Last week, General Motors' North American president, Mark Reuss mused about the possibility of adding a high-volume, rear-wheel drive car to the Chevrolet lineup. That made us wonder: if Reuss follows through, how will this hypothetical performance ride look? If you keep up with car news, you probably remember the Code 130R, a curiously shaped...
