The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) recently added three new vehicles to their growing list of Top Safety Picks. These additions include the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu ECO, the 2012 Hyundai Azera and the 2012 Toyota Prius c.
We’ve recently had the chance to drive each of these vehicles and each has their merits. We like the fuel-efficiency of the Prius
Want to know what it’s like to anticipate driving the BMW 5 Series, and then reflect upon it? Think back to a date you looked forward to for weeks, and then made excuses to end early on the night of. Remember how you fantasized about what it would be like? Remember how vapid, or self-absorbed, or just plain boring
Say what you will of the Honda Pilot’s slab-sided industrial styling – we certainly have – but one thing is certain about this popular three-row crossover SUV: it works brilliantly for family duty. We just spent a week with the Pilot, and while we still wouldn’t get this over a roomier, more fuel-efficient, better handling Honda Odyssey with back-pain-saving
Just over a year ago, Vehix reported that a Volkswagen Passat BlueMotion TDI set a new world record for the greatest distance traveled by a production passenger car on a single tank of fuel. The Passat TDI covered 1,531 miles.
On late April 16, 2012, a YouTube user named “fldallyb” published a video that talks about his frustration that BlueMotion TDI

Volvo has come a long way in 12 years. I was the once-proud owner of a 2000 Volvo XC70, a car that I loved and loathed over its lifetime. I loved the seats. I loved the design. I loved the available cargo space.
I despised the regular trips to the dealership for small service repairs. I grew frustrated by the average
On the morning I returned the phenomenal 2012 Audi A7 to its keepers, I was awakened from a wonderful dream by my toddler’s announcement that it was time for the household to rise and shine. Who needs an alarm clock when you’ve got a human version of a rooster in the house?
Anyway, in this wonderful dream I was having,
Remember when Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus was one of the best-selling books in the land? That was the early 1990s in case you’ve forgotten.
Two lists of the most popular car brands by men and woman add more fuel to the fire or proof in the pudding or whatever other cliche you want to use here that
Until now, the Ford Edge has been available with a choice between two V6 engines, a 3.5-liter and a stronger 3.7-liter, and fuel economy has not been one of this five-passenger crossover SUV’s stronger traits. In an effort to rectify that, Ford has added a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine to the Edge lineup for 2012.
It has been a long time since Dodge was part of any serious conversation about compact cars.
Dodge Caliber? With an abundance of plastic bits and style only Mother Dodge could love, it never really had a chance.
Dodge Neon? You must be kidding. Even Dodge was happy to put that car out of its misery seven years ago.

Toyota is now officially in the plug-in-hybrid business with the all-new 2012 Prius Plug-In.
The 2012 Prius Plug-In looks pretty much like any other Prius on the road–inside and out. Besides a few elements like blue-accent headlights, LED taillights and unique aluminum wheels, the biggest difference is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack that replaces the standard nickel-metal hydride
