2017 Mazda3
In the last Terminator movie, an aging, saggy Arnold tells his younger, time-traveling and still-buff self: I have been waiting for you.
Well, me too.
For the SkyD diesel engine that Mazda was...
2013 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe
Power is everything - when it comes to the Cadillac CTS-V.
Its 556 hp (and 551 lbs.-ft. of torque) supercharged 6.2 liter V-8 make a BMW M3's 4 liter, 414 hp -...
2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV
It stands alone, unchallenged ... the master of all it surveys.
Not merely surviving but thriving. The Hummer came - and went. So also the Ford Excursion - a mere Ford, too...
2012 Toyota Camry hybrid
The Toyota Prius hybrid gets all the press - and a lot of the dealer mark-up, too. You might check out the new Camry hybrid to get something very similar -...
2013 Ford Transit Connect

This week,...
2012 Acura MDX: 2013 is a Long Way Off
Before the tsunami hit Japan earlier this year, the expectation was that Acura was going to release an all-new MDX in early 2012 - maybe even late 2011. Now it appears...
2015 Chevy Trax
Remember the Chevy Tracker?
The pocket-sized SUV sold (in the U.S.) from 1998 through 2004?
It was very popular - and would probably still be around today were it not for the fact...
2013 Nissan Quest
Minivans - traditional minivans - are becoming scarce. GM and Ford don't even make them anymore. That leaves Chrysler (Town & County - and its lower-rent Dodge sibling, the Caravan -...
