Looking For A Used Car? Breathe, Relax, Take Your Time

February 14, 2013February 8, 2018Sam Gomez

Indeed, if you buy a used car for all the wrong reasons, there won’t be much hilarity when you find yourself shelling out thousands of dollars to fix what the seller promised was already fixed. [...]

2013 VW Beetle Convertible: Not Just Another Retro Drop-Top

February 8, 2013February 8, 2013Casey Williams 1

Although Volkswagen kicked off the whole retro thing in 1998 with the “New Beetle”, it doesn’t want you to think of the current third-generation Bug in those terms. To be honest, the New Beetle was anything but retro. Like the latest iteration, it rode on the most-advanced Golf architecture, driven by an engine over the front-driven wheels. It looked almost futuristic. With a new design that bridges the future-bubble with its iconic ancestor, the 2013 Beetle Convertible evolves. [...]

2013 Cadillac Escalade: Plenty Of Cushion For Pushin’ You Around Town

February 5, 2013February 5, 2013Richard Read 2

The Cadillac Escalade is the Kim Kardashian of the auto world. You know what I mean. It’s got great bone structure, it looks fantastic on the outside, [insert suggestive interior joke here], but it clearly craves attention. It’s flashy and a little bit trashy — and it’s perfectly okay with that. [...]

2013 Kia Rio SX: A Little Fun To Drive

February 1, 2013February 1, 2013Chris Doane 1

I know I won’t get much, if any, sympathy when I say that, sometimes, there are letdowns when you review cars. The last car I evaluated was a $100,000, 400hp, German coupe. I’ve now stepped directly from that into a Kia Rio. [...]

2013 Honda Accord Reeks Of Competence (It’s A Good Thing)

January 29, 2013January 29, 2013Casey Williams 1

Competence. That’s the word that floods your mind when examining the 2013 Honda Accord. Our four-door Sport certainly isn’t the most flamboyant or fabulous car you can buy, but every inch and crevice gives the impression that it is substantial, ever-lasting. It’s the way Accords have always been. [...]

2013 Toyota RAV4: The Original Crossover Crosses Over

January 24, 2013January 24, 2013Jeff Stork 1

The restyled fourth-generation Toyota RAV4 will begin arriving on our shores at the end of this month. The RAV4, which is credited with creating the compact crossover segment, returns with a totally restyled exterior and interior, as well as a new six-speed transmission and other refinements to a largely carried-over platform. [...]

Earlier today, I posted my list of “winners” from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. But of course, you can’t have winners without a few losers. Here’s my selection of worst offenders. Scroll to the bottom of the page for a full gallery, if you must. [...]

2013 Detroit Auto Show: The Winners

January 22, 2013January 22, 2013Sam Miller-Christiansen

Last week’s 2013 Detroit Auto Show was a whirlwind of premieres and press conferences. Thankfully, the long, three-day weekend gave me time to reflect and choose some winners and losers of the lot. Below, you’ll find my best-in-show list. Scroll to the bottom of the page for a full gallery — and stay tuned this afternoon for the, um, not so fortunate. [...]

2013 Detroit Auto Show Recap & Gallery: Day 2

January 17, 2013January 17, 2013Sam Miller-Christiansen

If the first day of the Detroit Auto Show is like Christmas for car worshipers, the second day is a bit like New Year’s Eve: it’s still a lot of fun, and there are some cool things to see, but you don’t get overloaded with presents. That’s not to say I didn’t have a great time, and there were definitely some interesting vehicles to be revealed, including… [...]

Detroit Auto Show: The Cadillac Of Plug-in Hybrids Debuts In The Motor City

January 17, 2013January 17, 2013Nick Kurczewski 1

With the flashy and much-hyped introduction of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, General Motors could have coasted through the rest of this year’s Detroit Auto Show with relative ease. Instead, the U.S. auto giant took a step in a new direction, at least when it comes to imbuing the Cadillac luxury division with green vehicle credentials. [...]
