Posted: 09 May 2013 03:00 PM PDT

Kia's high-value, family-oriented minivan is back, after being absent from the lineup for 2013. And while the 2014 Kia Sedona does pack some minor updates, it's essentially the same second-generation van that we've seen since the 2006 model year. Compared to the 2012 Sedona, the 2014 model gets a new grille, as well as new lighting...

Posted: 09 May 2013 01:28 PM PDT

You know by now that The Car Connection is spending this month in the sturdy embrace of the 2013 Ram 1500. As we round up on week one, we're already finding some favorite features of the revamped pickup truck, with a quibble or two reinforced from our first drives last year. When we drove the 2013 Ram 1500 last year outside Nashville, we came away...

Toyota Prius

Posted: 09 May 2013 12:19 PM PDT

The Toyota Prius essentially launched the hybrid automobile market. A high-roofed, aerodynamically shaped, gas-electric hatchback, the Prius is now the golden standard for hybrids today. It's the best-selling hybrid on the planet, and earning 50-mpg, it's not hard to imagine why. See our full review of the 2013 Toyota Prius for car prices with...

Toyota Sienna

Posted: 09 May 2013 12:18 PM PDT

They Sienna is Toyota's approach to the family-friendly minivan. When well-appointed, it feels more luxurious than its competitors, the Honda Odyssey, Nissan Quest, Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan.

Toyota Prius C

Posted: 09 May 2013 11:19 AM PDT

The Toyota Prius C is a subcompact hatchback, and the newest to the Prius family. It's the least expensive hybrid of the Prius quartet, yet it still earns the same 50-mpg found in its flagship sibling. It is easier to maneuver and a little more entertaining behind the wheel, though. For a more detailed look at the Prius C, see the full review of...

Toyota Matrix

Posted: 09 May 2013 10:44 AM PDT

The Toyota Matrix is a compact five-door hatchback that shares many of its components with the popular Toyota Corolla.

For more information on the current model...

Toyota Tacoma

Posted: 09 May 2013 08:51 AM PDT

The Toyota Tacoma is one of very few remaining mid-size trucks on the market. With ample cargo space, off-road prowess and towing capabilities, it competes primarily with the Nissan Frontier, at least until the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon replacements arrive around 2014. See our full review of the 2013 Toyota Tacoma for pricing with options...

Toyota Venza

Posted: 09 May 2013 08:48 AM PDT

Toyota 4Runner

Posted: 09 May 2013 08:44 AM PDT

The Toyota 4Runner is a mid-size SUV built on on a truck platform, rather than the increasingly dominant crossovers that you see on the road today. Where crossovers are car-based utility vehicles with better ride comfort and fuel economy, the 4Runner is a tough SUV that drives much like a Toyota Tacoma. For those families, Toyota has its car-based...

Rumor: Facebook's Next Target Is Navigation, Looks To Buy Waze For $1 Billion

Posted: 09 May 2013 08:33 AM PDT

We're not mutual fund managers, but if we were, we'd be taking a good, long look at Facebook right now. Though its stock prices faltered after the IPO, recent developments suggest that Facebook will retain its 800-pound gorilla status for years to come, thanks to a renewed focus on mobile devices. First we saw Facebook Home, a skin for Android...
