| Posted: 03 Jun 2013 10:08 AM PDT  The Porsche 918 Spyder is the brand's first-ever gasoline-electric hybrid supercar. First shown at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show as a concept and quickly given the production green light thereafter, the Porsche 918 Spyder has since evolved closer to production, but remains in final development, though it is very close to completion as evidenced by...      |
| Posted: 03 Jun 2013 10:07 AM PDT  The Scion tC is one of very few remaining small, sporty coupes left on today's market. It competes with cars like the FIAT 500, MINI Cooper, Hyundai Veloster, Kia Forte Koup and Honda CR-Z. Some people may want to cross-shop it against non-coupe alternatives like the Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta and Ford Focus, too. For more on the tC, including pricing...   |
| Posted: 03 Jun 2013 10:03 AM PDT  The Aston Martin Vantage is a two-door coupe or convertible sports car with cachet fitting for James Bond. Available with both V-8 and V-12 engines, Vantage offers a mix of luxury and near-supercar performance not found in many alternatives.

| Posted: 03 Jun 2013 10:02 AM PDT  The Lexus IS is a dramatically-styled small, sporty luxury sedan. Slated below the Lexus GS and almost next to the larger, more relaxed ES, the IS competes with the BMW 3-Series, Cadillac ATS, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. For an in-depth look at the Lexus IS, read our review of the 2013 model here. The IS was first introduced for 2001, then...   |
| Posted: 03 Jun 2013 09:58 AM PDT  The VW Touareg is a mid-size SUV with a car-like, softer appearance than many of its competitors, but it's also one of the toughest and most stoutly constructed SUVs on the market–it can be easily misunderstood. The Touareg competes with cars like the Toyota 4Runner and Highlander, Honda Pilot, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ford Explorer. See our...   |
| Posted: 03 Jun 2013 09:32 AM PDT  The VW Tiguan is a compact crossover that offers sedan-like practicality in a taller package. The Tiguan looks like a smaller version of the Touareg, but they've different vehicles. Where the Touareg offers rugged construction worthy of off-roading, the Tiguan is essentially a tall wagon that competes with cars like the Toyota RAV4, Chevrolet...   |
| Posted: 03 Jun 2013 09:26 AM PDT  The Audi R8 is an elegant, sleek, very fast two-seat, mid-engined sports car that also offers a supercar V-10 edition. Available in both coupe and "Spyder" convertible versions, the R8 is perhaps even more attractive than its VW Group cousin, the Lamborghini Gallardo. See our 2013 Audi R8 review for pricing with options, specifications, and...   |
| Posted: 03 Jun 2013 09:21 AM PDT  The Audi TT is a two-plus-two coupe or two-seat convertible with the brand's unique take on luxury and style. Even in base trim, the Audi TT is fun to drive, but those seeking more sport will want to look at the TTS or TT RS versions. The TT has been around for more than a decade, but it maintains the original model's essence. Its primary...   |
| Posted: 03 Jun 2013 09:15 AM PDT  The Toyota Highlander is a mid-size family crossover, but it's on the larger side of the segment. Built with three rows and seating for up to eight passengers, the Highlander offers four-, six-, and six-cylinder hybrid drivetrains. For more information on the current model, including prices, options, and specifications, see our full review of the...   |
| Posted: 03 Jun 2013 09:04 AM PDT  The BMW 4-Series will replace the 3-Series coupe and convertible models for the 2014 model year. While the 2012-2013 3-Series have moved onto a new generation, a new platform and new powertrains, the two-door sister models remain in the previous body style until the 2014 4-Series arrives. The 4-Series becomes its own model line for the new model...   |
| Posted: 03 Jun 2013 08:57 AM PDT  The BMW 3-Series is a mid-sized sedan, coupe or convertible, offered in frugal 328i, spritely 335i and performance-oriented M3 editions. Regardless of the version you choose–coupe, convertible, sedan, wagon or fastback–the 3-Series is one of the most recognizable nameplates on the planet, with an enviable reputation for performance and...   |
| Husbands, Wives Are Worst Backseat Drivers, But Teens Keep Their Mouths Shut Posted: 03 Jun 2013 08:45 AM PDT  There's nothing quite as wonderful as a backseat driver -- someone who always knows the fastest way to get from Point A to Point B, someone who can sense accidents before they happen, someone who's forever on the lookout for speeding motorists and errant shopping carts. But perhaps that's just us. Believe it or not, many people find backseat...   |
| Posted: 03 Jun 2013 08:45 AM PDT  The BMW 7-Series is a full-size luxury sedan, and it's likely the benchmark for large sport sedans on the market today. The 7-Series is offered in a variety of drivetrains, ranging from frugal V-6 engines to powerful V-12s, though the V-8 powered 7ers are the most common in the U.S.. With some versions available at well over $150,000, the 7-Series...   |
| Motorcycle Helmet Law Repeal Could Cost Michigan Taxpayers Money Posted: 03 Jun 2013 08:08 AM PDT  On April 12, 2012, Michigan's longstanding helmet law went down in flames. Many motorcyclists were happy to see it go, but others might not be singing the same tune, since the move could cause an insurance rate hike. According to the Highway Loss Data Institute, only 19 states require all riders to wear helmets. Another 28 require helmets for some...   |
