2015 Audi Q5 TDI
In the U.S., diesels are sold at least as much on the strength of their performance as their economy - the reverse of the usual dynamic.
Which explains why they are almost exclusively...
2015 VW Jetta
VW's Jetta sedan hasn't got a lot of sex appeal.
Nothing about it seems automotive centerfold worthy. And yet, it's a perennial favorite - one of the most successful (in terms of...
2015 Mercedes GLA250
Everyone wants to get in on the compact crossover sporty wagon action - even Mercedes, which until recently refrained from entry, preferring instead to concentrate on coupes and sedans and SUVs...

Imagine a fastbacked (and lowered) X3.
Or...
2015 Infiniti QX80
Well, gas is cheap again.
Does it mean big SUVs (with big, thirsty V8s) will make a comeback? I doubt it. Even though the cost of fuel is down, the cost of...
2015 Kia K900
