| Best Used Diesel 2013: The Car Connection's Picks Posted: 08 May 2013 02:35 PM PDT  Diesel vehicles have always had their fans; but in recent years, new-generation clean-diesel models have elevated the technology above that crowd. For the most part, the overbearing diesel clatter is gone; so is the exhaust soot and odor. And diesels simply make a good sense for Americans, who spend a lot of their drive time on the highway, or on...      |
| 5 Most Wanted Ram Trucks: 30 Days Of Ram 1500 Posted: 08 May 2013 09:44 AM PDT  We're spending this month with a 2013 Ram 1500, but while we're focusing on what makes the full-sizer one of our top-rated pickups, we're also taking a look back into history for the five Chrysler pickup trucks we'd have all over again. The Ram's history is just as cloudy as the past for the big Chevy, Ford, and GMC trucks. There's a clear family...   |
| 5 Cameos That Could've Made Audi's Spock Vs. Spock Commercial More Awesome Posted: 08 May 2013 08:45 AM PDT  No doubt about it: Audi's new commercial starring Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto is 31 flavors of awesome. Dubbed "The Challenge", the clip manages to work in numerous Trekkie gags while hyping the Audi S7. We even get a glimpse of Shelley, the autonomous Audi TT designed by Stanford University's Center for Automotive Research. By all accounts...   |
| Today In Press Releases: Turtle Wax Wants To See You Topless Posted: 08 May 2013 07:59 AM PDT  We receive plenty of curious press releases here at The Car Connection. Some hype "experts" that we might want to interview. (We don't.) Some tout products suited for "mature" websites. (We may be old, but we're rarely mature.) And some are just plain weird. We'll let you decide where to file the latest missive from Turtle Wax. It touts a...   |
| 2014 Chevy Silverado Driven, Toyota Recall, Best Used Hybrids: Car News Headlines Posted: 08 May 2013 07:46 AM PDT  Today at The Car Connection, Toyota and Mercedes-Benz issued recalls and we named the best used hybrids for 2013. We drove the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck and took delivery of a 2013 Ram 1500. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. Toyota recalled the 2007-2013 FJ Cruiser due to an issue with...   |
| Best Used Hybrid 2013: The Car Connection's Picks Posted: 08 May 2013 06:01 AM PDT  Hybrid vehicles hardly existed a decade ago, but now they're a constant part of the car landscape--if not a large part of it just yet. Now that there's a growing number of hybrid car nameplates, the used hybrid market is expanding, too. And that's making better gas mileage available to more buyers, though many are concerned, of course, with the...   |
| 2007-2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser Recalled For Headlights Posted: 08 May 2013 05:17 AM PDT  Toyota is recalling certain 2007 through 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser SUVs for auxiliary headlights that may be too bright. A notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website puts the number of vehicles potentially affected in the U.S. at 11,489. Affected vehicles were built from January 25, 3006 through February 23, 2013 and...   |
| Posted: 07 May 2013 09:47 PM PDT  The Optima may very well be the hero in the story of Kia brand transformation. Completely redesigned in 2011, the Optima went from bland and shapeless to one of the best-looking sedans in the mid-size class. It came with sophisticated new drivetrains and excellent handling, and Kia went suddenly from the outfield into the heat of the...   |
| Posted: 07 May 2013 09:40 PM PDT  The Toyota RAV4 has been completely redesigned for 2013, and not a moment too late. It's been one of the best-selling crossovers from the day it was new in the mid-1990s, but with the reworked Honda CR-V and Ford Escape on the market, Toyota's smallest crossover was due. The new 2013 RAV4 should reclaim some of the ground given up to...   |
| Posted: 07 May 2013 09:35 PM PDT  While the Toyota Camry has been the best-selling passenger car in America for year, we have a hard time recommending it as the go-to choice for family sedans. Why? Though the Camry has a reputation for durability and practicality, it just doesn't shine in any single way, whether it's comfort, technology, performance, safety or style...   |
| Posted: 07 May 2013 09:27 PM PDT  The Ford Escape has been completely redesigned for the 2013 model year. Where it once looked almost truck-like, it's now a sleek crossover with a potent engine and a little more interior space than before. Completely new, derived from the family of components that brought you TheCarConnection's Best Car To Buy 2012, the Ford Focus, the...   |
| Posted: 07 May 2013 09:18 PM PDT  The 2013 Ford Fusion is a mainstream family sedan with dramatic, handsome design, family-friendly packaging and driving dynamics that will satisfy the engaged driver. It's essentially fills the same slot that the Taurus did in 1986. Yes, we know there's still a Taurus around, but it's evolved into something less relevant. The Fusion is...   |
| Posted: 07 May 2013 09:09 PM PDT  The Ford Focus is designed to meet the high demands of small car buyers today. It's fun, attractive, well-equipped, but also affordable. It's changed the nameplate's image, from unremarkable to best in class, in many ways. It's also our 2012 Best Car To Buy winner, as much for its trend-leading features as for its excellent front-drive...   |
| Posted: 07 May 2013 09:04 PM PDT  The Honda CR-V remains a tried and true choice for pragmatic shoppers. For them, it's a perfect vehicle with a spacious interior, unmatched safety and reliability, and just enough options to get by without overcomplicating things. Some may find it hard to get excited about this Honda crossover, but the formula's an undeniable success...   |
| Posted: 07 May 2013 08:49 PM PDT  The 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe now comes in two flavors–the five-passenger Sport model and the standard seven-passenger family hauler. The two-row Sport model is a mid-size crossover built in Georgia, while the larger version of the Santa Fe carries a third row, is built in South Korea, and replaces the old Hyundai Veracruz. Between...   |
