Today at The Car Connection, we drove the 2013 Ford C-Max Energi and spied the 2014 Porsche Macan. Cadillac priced the 2014 CTS luxury sedan and we recapped our 30 days with the 2013 Ram 1500. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. We recapped our 30 days with the 2013 Ram 1500. Will plug-in electric cars...
As we've noted before, we tend to like Subarus here at Green Car Reports. We recently spent three days with a new 2014 Subaru Forester XT--the more powerful turbocharged model--driving South Africa's Garden Route along the country's south coast, from Plettenburg Bay to Cape Town. The drive included quite a few single-lane dirt and gravel roads...
Last week, Jeep did something very, very unusual: when the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration asked the automaker to recall 2.7 million vehicles due to a potentially dangerous design issue, Jeep said "No". According to one market research firm, that refusal isn't playing too well in Peoria -- or anywhere else that Jeep customers live...
The Nissan Juke has only been around for two years, but it has become one of the easiest cars on the road to identify. It's one of those cars that looks like it managed to emerge from the design studio intact, as if it escaped the factory as a concept instead of waiting around to be watered down. It's futuristic, it's definitely quirky--and it's...
The Audi A6 is a handsome, capable, luxurious sedan that still manages to get lost in the shadows. Not only does it face off against two of the toughest premium sedans ever to hustle down the Autobahn--the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class--it also faces internal foes, in the form of the superlovely Audi A7 hatchback that's virtually...
The Jeep Compass is more rugged now than it was when it was first introduced. While the Compass was originally panned for its homely styling and chintzy interior, the automaker tweaked the design modestly a couple of years ago—just enough to make it over as 'mini Grand Cherokee' but not enough to remedy the low-rent feel that's evident from...
The Dodge Charger looks like family car, but it's actually a riot in disguise. It's a classic piece of Detroit style, a musclecar bristling with bravado, and a reasonable means of transportation with just the right amount of sophistication and refinement. In essence, it's the kind of car that restores your faith in the notion of a premium...
The Dodge Durango is the gateway to true SUVs. With its custom architecture that is neither car nor truck, available all-wheel drive and the ability to two up to 7,400 pounds while carrying up to eight passengers, it's 95 percent of the way there. Other big utility vehicles have drifted into crossover territory, but the Durango keeps itself...
A seductive seductive callback to the Seventies, the Dodge Challenger is modern interpretation of the Mopar classic, and it competes with musclecars like the Camaro and Mustang. But once you've been able to turn away from its pitch-perfect flat hood and decklid, and tuned out its roaring HEMI V-8, it's also a comfortable coupe--a touring car with...
It's been a decade since its last full makeover, but for 2013 the Land Rover Range Rover gets what is likely the most radical reinvention for its long and storied life. The change bring a sedan-level street demeanor to the SUV, while electronics make it more capable off-road than ever before. It's all because of aluminum. The Range Rover's had...
The 2013 Acura MDX isn't unusual for its handsome cabin, its third row or its versatility; instead, what makes it different from many luxury crossovers is its pleasant-to-drive manners. It's been a strong seller for Acura for that reason–as well as for its straight-line performance, durability records and impressive safety, not to mention...
The Volkswagen Touareg SUV plays two roles for the VW brand. On one hand, it's the brand's only mid-size utility vehicle, and on the other hand it's a premium up-sell for owners who want to upgrade from their Jetta or Passat sedans. And as Volkswagen has lowered prices in recent years and upped value for most of its other mainstream models, the...
The Buick Enclave is a large crossover vehicle that helped the brand usher in a new sense of style and a new generation of vehicles, back when it was a new model in 2008. After five years on the market, sales are still strong, and it's grown to become more feature-rich and refined for the 2013 model year. More than halfway through its life cycle...
As we hit the halfway point in our month with the 2013 Audi Allroad, we thought it would be a good time to grab some of our editors together on video for a discussion about our experience so far, and about the Allroad in general. Editorial director Marty Padgett gave us a breakdown on what the Allroad is, and who it's for. This quickly led to a...
Through tornado warnings and thunderstorms, off-road parks and long road trips, our month with the 2013 Ram 1500 has seen it put to just about every use you'd see with a typical pickup truck. So how do we feel about it at the end of our 30 Days? The video above puts it all on the table, but, the short and sweet version is: We've really grown to...
