Today at The Car Connection, we reviewed the 2013 Nissan Leaf electric car and Mazda unveiled the new 2014 Mazda 3. Ford introduced the 2014 F-150 Tremor sport truck and Honda priced the 2014 Odyssey minivan. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. We looked back at our time with the 2013 Audi Allroad. Honda priced...
After eight straight years of declines, vehicle thefts are on the rise in the U.S., not good news to car owners hoping to hold on to their vehicles. Thefts rose 1.3 percent in 2012, from 715,373 in 2011, according to preliminary figures released by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), citing data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation...
The latest addition to the Ford F-150 lineup is the Tremor, a new sport truck coming in the 2014 model year. Ford showed off the new truck today in Dearborn, one of the first models confirmed for the 2014 F-150 lineup. The name Tremor's been applied to Ford trucks and SUVs in the past. In the 1990s, the Tremor was an Explorer-based concept...
We are nearing the end of our month with the 2013 Audi Allroad, and we now find ourselves reflecting on all the adventures we've had in the capable wagon. From finding out that the optional grocery hooks cost $36 a piece--and that's before the $294 cargo net--to taking a closer look at the Allroad's history, we've definitely learned quite a bit...
The 2014 Honda Odyssey arrives in dealer showrooms just in time to serve as shuttle duty for your upcoming fourth of July party. Set to hit the lots on July 2nd, the updated Odyssey will wear a starting pricetag of $28,825. This represents a $150 jump over the outgoing model. Not too shabby for a vehicle that's seen its fair share of upgrades...
The four-cylinder Mercedes-Benz C-Class made its quiet debut on the market last year, making it the first Benz 'four' in the U.S. in nearly a decade. Coinciding with an extensive refresh for the entire lineup, the result is a C Class model line that's more fuel-efficient, modern in look and feel, and full up to snuff in connectivity and...
There was a time when minivans were despised by style-conscious parents about as much as their kids despised hand-me-downs from their older siblings, but it appears as if they've made it through the dark days. At the other end of the tunnel, we still can't ignore that with their easy-driving nature, comfortable seats, awesome versatility, and...
The 2013 Nissan Leaf, now in its third model year, remains the highest-volume battery electric car sold in the United States. It was the first modern battery-powered vehicle sold by a major carmaker in decades, and along with the Chevrolet Volt, launched the new era of plug-in electric cars. For 2013, it's has slightly updated equipment and lower...
When it comes to small cars, do you expect something that looks different than larger sedans, and drives with a nimble, sporty feel, or do you want one that emulates those bigger models, emphasizing space, comfort, and features, albeit with a lower price? If you're in the latter group, you're in luck with the 2013 Nissan Sentra. This time around...
The 2013 Dodge Avenger stands out as refreshingly different, design-wise, yet in most other respects it falls woefully short in a class of high-achievers. It's grown further from rental-only territory and closer to becoming a worthy competitor for the cars in the segment, certainly, but essentially, as we say with the closely related Chrysler 200...
The Mitsubishi Lancer family of compact sedans and hatchbacks stand out as different, yet confounding. It's hard to make a case for the most of the Lancer lineup–unless you're considering at the finely honed Lancer Evolution--an all-wheel-drive track star--or the satisfying, sporty Ralliart. That's become increasingly true with the long list...

Batey is currently the U.S. sales, service and marketing chief for Chevrolet, Buick and GMC, where he reports to General Motors Company [NYSE:GM]...
The all-new 2014 Mazda 3 brings refined styling, more features, and higher fuel efficiency to the compact hatchback and sedan that is Mazda's best-selling car globally. On sale this fall, the new Mazda 3 adopts the company's Kodo "soul of motion" design language, first seen on the CX-5 crossover and Mazda6 mid-size sedan launched over the last two...
