From The Car Connection: 2015 Nissan Rogue Review The Nissan Rogue was redesigned for last year–at least one version of it. You can still find a 2015 version of the previous-generation Rogue on the road today. It's called the Rogue Select, and it's intended only for rental fleets. The newer version of the Rogue you can buy is now only a year...
Fiat has struggled in the U.S. with the tiny 500 hatchback and the bigger, but awkward, 500L hatch. Now it has a real chance to win over American car buyers with its first small crossover SUV--but will it be enough to tackle the Jeep Renegade and Honda HR-V? Hi, I'm Marty Padgett, and we'll get some answers in this first drive of the 2016 Fiat...
Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling 2014 and 2015 models of the Smart fortwo microcar. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, those vehicles might've been built with poorly made bolts, which could cause serious problems for owners. The bolts were made by Fontana Luigi S.p.A in Italy and were used to attach the fortwo's...
There's good news and bad news in the 2015 CarMD Vehicle Health Index. The good news is, taking your car to the mechanic last year didn't cost you any more than it did the year before. The bad news? It didn't cost you any less, either -- unless you owned a hybrid. 2015 FINDINGS CarMD maintains a nationwide network of technicians who have used...
Electric cars have operating costs far lower than those of gasoline vehicles. And even considering the point-of-source emissions of power plants that make the grid power EVs are plugged into, they’re cleaner, more energy-efficient picks for the future—especially if they can meet your needs as a second car for everyday commuting. Yet...
The 2015 Nissan Quest is a minivan that leaves us wanting. Its safety ratings are below average and its seating system is the least flexible on the market, despite its family-friendly intentions. It's more rewarding to drive than its competitors, but the Quest remains a difficult vehicle to recommend in this segment. Safety and features are an...

It's called the Rogue Select, and it's intended only for rental fleets. The newer version of the Rogue you can buy is now only a year old, and it's more stylish and more spacious. Our...
The Nissan Armada is one of the last remaining true full-size SUVs–and its dressed its truck-based chassis with a roomy interior, clad in masculine, imposing sheetmetal. However, it's also one of the oldest big SUVs left on the market, now that the GM trucks have all been redesigned. That doesn't make the Armada any less tow-ready, though...
The 2015 Nissan Titan has fallen to the back of the pack, as the rest of the segment has seen–in some cases–multiple redesigns since it first made its debut. However, it still looks and sounds distinctive, even a decade later. There are essentially two different body styles for the 2015 Nissan Titan--King Cab and Crew Cab--and between...
The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GL is Mercedes-Benz's biggest SUV, a three-row luxury bus aimed squarely at Americans. In Fact, the GL is built right here in America, where it sells very well. It shares its platform and assembly line with the two-row M-Class SUV, offering similar powertrain choices and features. It's a luxury SUV without question, but its...
Until now, shoppers wanting something less than a full-size truck had exactly two choices, and neither of them were what we'd call fresh, or innovative. The mid-size niche is growing this year, in the form of two new trucks nearly identical in configuration, but not so close in style: the Chevy Colorado, and the 2015 GMC Canyon. With the Canyon...
Since its launch in the mid-2000s, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport has acted as the shorter, sexier companion to the bigger Rangie. From the very start, its performance has been surprising--but in the early days its cabin was a little too cozy. That changed for the 2014 model year, when the Range Rover Sport adopted the architecture of the latest...
Pickup trucks have always been locked in a battle for capability--tow ratings, payload ratings, bed size, and crew capacity. Fuel economy has mostly been an also-ran consideration, in the past thirty-odd years that the Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck and vehicle in the U.S.. It isn't anymore. Trucks are being reined in by new...
