The Toyota Corolla, for decades, has epitomized basic, trouble-free, and relatively comfortable transportation. That 'no frills' reputation changed a bit a couple of years ago, when Toyota added some more technology and flair to the Corolla, arguably breaking free of biases that have long pegged it as the blandest of the compact-sedan bunch. The...

The 2015 Lexus GS 350 and GS 450h hybrid are sport sedans, serving as sharper-edged counterpoints to comfort-oriented ES sedan as well as rivals for a core set of mid-size German luxury and sport sedans, like the Mercedes-Benz E Class, BMW 5-Series, and Audi A6. Meanwhile, the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD is perhaps the most direct rival to the...

The BMW X6 is an unusual form factor—think coupe-like SUV—bit it's far less of an outlier than it was. With the introduction later this year of the new Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, a sexier take on what's now called the M-Class, and the BMW X4 taking the form down a size, it now has company. Despite the growing popularity of the curvaceous...

Considering results just released from the federal government, the 2016 Acura RLX is looking like one of the safest bets you could make on a full-size luxury sedan.

The Lincoln MKC and Audi Q5 are two strong entries that take to the middle ground in a segment that now spans a vast range of entries—including vehicles as diverse as the Lexus NX, Land Rover Discovery Sport, and Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class. It was the Audi Q5 that arguably forged that mainstream track, from the instant it arrived on these...
If you've ever gotten a speeding ticket, you know how expensive they can be. Going just a few miles over the limit can easily lighten your wallet by a few hundred bucks. But fines like that pale in comparison to the one that Reima Kuisla was asked to pay in his home country of Finland. According to the New York Times, a speeding ticket that Kuisla...
Rental cars are rarely nice. Online, rental companies may show images of sleek, sporty coupes, but when you get to the service desk, you're handed the keys to a frumpy sedan. And who knows if it's up to snuff? The folks at Audi clearly understand your pain, because they've just launched something called "Audi on Demand". Essentially, it's a rental...
