From The Car Connection: 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Preview The 2016 Chevy Malibu is one of GM's most familiar nameplates, and in the modern era, it's been a family-car mainstay. But with the current Malibu, Chevy has a mid-size sedan that's subpar in a few ways--rear seat comfort, economy and styling. Texas Study Suggests That Distracted Driving Laws...
The Infiniti brand continues to redefine itself, slotting new models into new names as it clears the last vestiges of its former naming scheme. The latest to join the fray: the 2016 Infiniti QX50. Filling the role formerly held by the 2015 QX50, which was itself formerly known as the EX35/37, the 2016 Infiniti QX50 is a “personal...

The 2016 Chevy Malibu is one of GM's most familiar nameplates, and in the modern era, it's been a family-car mainstay.

A universally praised redesign of the CTS moved it up in size and price, where sales have been tepid and customer-facing incentives have soared as high as a combined $10,000.

We make a lot of assumptions about distracted driving. More often than not, we assume the culprits are teens tethered to their smartphones, but numerous studies have shown that mom and dad exhibit poor decision-making skills, too. A group of researchers from the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston wanted to get a better grasp of...
