We’re fans of lists. They’re a nice way to quickly sample everything from 5 of the World’s Ugliest Exotic Cars to 5 Scary Car Urban Legends to 7 Cool Concept Cars of the 2011 L.A. Auto Show.
Okay, we’ll admit those are all fun and frothy lists.
Today, we’re highlighting six recently published lists about 2012′s safest cars.
Let’s be clear about something right up front. With few exceptions, I think the 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan might just be the perfect small crossover SUV. It might not share the bulletproof dependability ratings of a Subaru Forester or a Toyota RAV4, but it gets a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and
An electric car sighting like a Chevy Volt or Nissan Leaf in Utah is a rarified event.
In fact, it’s about equally as rare as the existence of a Democrat Senator or Congressperson (Utah Congressman Jim Matheson is the lone Democrat of five representatives on the hill).
That ratio of Democrats-to-population is virtually the same as the ratio of Chevy Volt
Truck deals are slimmer this month than in January. That means we’re only highlighting four deals versus the seven we featured last month.
The Nissan Frontier and Nissan Titan both make the list again this month as does the Ford Super Duty F-250 SRW and the Ram 1500. Zero-percent financing on all but the Ford Super Duty F-250 SRW (0.9%) made
Minivans will never be cool. But they will always be the absolute right choice of vehicle for many families.
Minivans are practical, spacious, and in the case of the three vehicles we’re highlighting this month, Top Safety Picks according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
We’ve identified the best minivan deals for January 2012 and included links to minivan incentives
What’s the difference between a crossover and wagon these days? Not so much in many cases.
Take the Ford Flex and the Lincoln MKT. Are these six- or seven-person haulers wagons or crossovers? We think they’re both and we’re actually quite fond of these vehicles.
The Flex is definitely the more common of the two. If you live in California or Michigan,
While three-row SUVs offer loads of space and capability, for most drivers, a small SUV is often the better choice.
That’s because small SUVs comfortably seat five passengers yet get much better fuel economy than their larger counterparts.
Want an example? Even the most fuel-efficient 2012 Ford Explorer with Ford’s ingenious EcoBoost engine returns only 18 mpg in the city and 25
Gas prices are projected to reach $4 or possibly $5 later this year. That may make some buyers second-guess their desire to own a three-row SUV due to their lower fuel efficiency. But frankly, if you need a three-row SUV to drive neighborhood carpool, ferry kids to dance or swim team practice, sometimes a three-row SUV can become
When it’s time to go big with a vehicle, the large SUV is the answer.
With room for seven or eight passengers, today’s big SUVs are custom designed to offer huge stowing and towing capabilities.
We’ve identified three large SUVs this month that offer ample amounts of available luxury features and loads ‘o space for whatever you need. Two of the three
For the next 24 hours, hundreds of thousands of people will be out and about buying last-minute flowers, heart-shaped candy and overly mushy cards for Valentine’s Day.
