If you keep tabs on your insurance premium, you may have recently noticed it edging up. And as it does, your dissatisfaction with your insurer is likely to climb, too. While that might appear to be common sense, it's been verified in the 2013 U.S. Auto Insurance Study, conducted by J.D. Power and Associates. To gather that data, Power asked auto...
Today at The Car Connection, we reviewed the 2013 Volvo XC60 and Infiniti priced the 2014 Q50 sports sedan. We spied the 2014 BMW 4-Series Convertible and put together a glossary of green car terms. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. We took a look at the best and worst accessories for the 2013 Audi Allroad...
July 4 is many things to many people. To most U.S. adults, it's a day off. To the gregarious, it's a day to spend around the grill with friends and family. And to pyrophiles, it's a little slice of heaven on Earth. July 4 also marks the start of car-theft season. And according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Independence Day remains...
Lexus found an upper hand against the German luxury brands when it developed the RX. While Lexus lagged behind BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz with its sedans and coupes, the RX beat all those brands to market with a richly fitted tall wagon with all-weather, all-purpose appeal. To this day, the Lexus RX--in RX 350 and RX 450h hybrid editions--remains...
The 2013 Fiat 500 is stylish, at times sporty, and at others efficient, and it brings a lot to the table considering its small size. But can it overcome Fiat's previous reputation for poor reliability, especially in a market teeming with alternatives from America, Asia, and Europe? With pert, upright styling that wraps a compact passenger...
The BMW 5-Series earns credit for creating the notion of the sport sedan–and though they've grown heavier, wider, longer and less direct in feel, they still deliver a nuanced ride-and-handling package that many other luxury mid-size sedans haven't mastered. They're somewhat efficient (see: ActiveHybrid5) and somewhat commodious (see...
Wagons have remained a large part of Volvo's business, even when most Americans were shunning them for minivans, and then crossovers. But over the past few models years the Swedish brand has completely abandoned that foundation in favor of somewhat taller, more ruggedly styled 'XC' crossover models. And in recasting wagons as something a little...
If you're having trouble deciphering the meaning for "carlike," take a spin in the Audi Q5. It gives some color to the grey area between utility vehicles and wagons, and comes as close as any crossover to actually being a car--albeit one with extra ground clearance, a taller roofline, and standard quattro all-wheel drive. One of the wave of luxury...
Among compact sport sedans, the Infiniti G37 and the BMW 3-Series--and perhaps the Cadillac ATS, if early drive reports hold their merit--remain the standard-bearers of the industry. And while the all-new 3-Series is perhaps the best-rounded offering in this class yet, considering its fuel-efficient new powertrains, enthusiasts might still find...
If you're feeling the mid-life crisis itch, the Infiniti G37 Coupe and Convertible are some of the best ways to satisfy that, in a stealthy way. Quite cleverly straddling demographic lines, these models provide the seat-of-the-pants thrills of a bad-boy sports car, only with a lot more social grace. They're a vehicle that practical-minded spouses...
The 2014 Infiniti Q50 awed us with its dramatic and elegant new styling at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. Today, we learn the Q50 will start at a relative bargain price of $36,700 plus $905 destination and handling. By way of comparison, the BMW 3-Series is nearly $5,000 cheaper in base 320i form, but the turbo four-cylinder 328i, which is a better...
As we spend our month with the 2013 Audi Allroad, we've tried to think like an Allroad owners, act like an Allroad owners, and really get into how people would use the Allroad in their daily lives. From hauling cargo to taking the Allroad off the beaten path, we've done it all. Many Allroad owners live active lifestyles, which means they'll need...
In today's increasingly connected world, we often ask ourselves, "What do national borders mean?" Companies like Coke and Sony do business around the globe, and anyone who's been on Facebook knows that we often have more in common with folks on the other side of the planet than with our next-door neighbors. For auto shoppers who focus on where...
