| The Ultimate Build: 30 Days Of The 2013 Audi Allroad Posted: 19 Jun 2013 02:53 PM PDT  We're now in the second half of our 30 days with the 2013 Audi Allroad, and we've covered a lot of ground already--we've taken the Allroad off-road, connected to the Internet while on the go, performed a gas-mileage run and worked out the cost of ownership. But what about the ultimate version? What does a fully optioned Allroad cost, and what's...      |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2013 10:23 AM PDT  The Buick Regal is near-luxury alternative to mainstream mid-size family sedans. It's also sportier than its LaCrosse and Verano siblings in the Buick lineup. Current versions are front-wheel drive, although all-wheel drive is on the way for several 2014 Buick Regal models. See our 2013 Buick Regal review for pricing with options, specifications...   |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2013 10:22 AM PDT  The Lincoln MKZ is a mid-size four-door sedan with near-luxury appointments and features. It's been totally redesigned for the 2013 model year, though it's already seen three versions in its short seven-year lifespan. With similar underpinnings to the Ford Fusion, the MKZ is better-finished than its sister model and wears Lincoln's newest design...   |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2013 10:19 AM PDT  The Dodge Charger is a mid-size four-door sedan that shares its platform with the Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300. Available with a V-6, V-8, or high performance V-8 SRT engine options, the Charger's optional all-wheel drive system makes it a competitor for the Nissan Maxima, Chevrolet Impala, and Ford Taurus–though the V-8 versions make...   |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2013 10:17 AM PDT  The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a large SUV with a quasi-military history and extreme off-road capabilities. Known as the Geländewagen to some, the G-Class has gone without many changes over its decades of production, though it has progressively more luxurious with time. Two versions are sold here in the U.S.: the G550 and the G63 AMG. See our...   |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2013 09:43 AM PDT  The Subaru BRZ is a compact, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that shares the majority of its underpinnings with its sister car, the Scion FR-S. While the BRZ may be an unconventional addition to a traditionally all-wheel drive Subaru brand, it's also one of the most affordable sports cars on the market today: its emphasis on sharp handling and light...   |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2013 09:23 AM PDT  The Honda Accord is a mid-size coupe or full-size accord, and it's been one of the best-selling cars in the U.S. for more than 30 years. It's grown in size and luxury from its small economy car roots, and while the prices have increased, the Accord continues to offer comfortable, efficient, and reliable family transportation. The Accord was just...   |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2013 09:04 AM PDT  The Ferrari FF is a three-door wagon, also known as a "shooting brake" that combines luxury and performance with practicality. It's also Ferrari's first and only all-wheel drive car to date. With its V-12 producing 651 horsepower and its seating for four, the FF is without true competition, though the Bentley Continental GT Speed makes for an...   |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2013 08:58 AM PDT  The Ferrari California is a convertible sportscar with two-plus-two seating, and it's Ferrari least expensive model, if such a thing existed. It's both comfortable for daily use and exciting to drive with its 490-horsepower V-8, and it competes with the Maserati GranCabrio, Porsche 911 Cabriolet and Lamborghini Gallardo. For more details on the...   |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2013 08:55 AM PDT  The BMW X3 is a luxurious mid-size crossover that is assembled in the BMW's Spartanburg, South Carolina assembly plant.

See our full review of the 2013...   |
| Tesla Promises Battery-Swapping For Model S. Because That Worked So Well For Better Place Posted: 19 Jun 2013 08:49 AM PDT  Yesterday, something unusual happened. In the wee hours of the morning, Elon Musk tweeted that Tesla would conduct a live battery-swap on the Model S this Thursday night (i.e. tomorrow) at 8pm Pacific Time. Why is that unusual? Because a high-profile start-up called Better Place built an entire business around the notion of battery-swapping, and...   |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2013 08:47 AM PDT  The BMW 6-Series is a mid-to-large luxury sports coupe, convertible or four-door sedan. The standard model is rear-wheel drive, though all-wheel drive and high-performance M variants are available as well.

A notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website puts the number of vehicles potentially affected by the recall in the U.S. at 18,352. Affected 2006 Acura...   |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2013 08:31 AM PDT  The Hyundai Sonata is a mid-size sedan with dramatic styling, strong reliability and high safety ratings, making it worthy competitor for cars like the Chevrolet Malibu, Nissan Altima, Ford Fusion, Mazda 6, VW Passat, Subaru Legacy, and its sister model, the Kia Optima. See our 2013 Hyundai Sonata review for car prices with options...   |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2013 08:25 AM PDT  The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a two-door, two-plus-two sports car. As Hyundai's only real sports car, it's a value-oriented car with excellent driving dynamics. The brand may not yet have a reputation for its sharp-handling cars, but the Genesis Coupe is working to change that. For a more detailed look at the Genesis Coupe, see the full review of...   |
