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
Review – 2012 Chevy Volt Covers 288 Miles on Less Than 5 Gallons of Gas
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).

2012 Toyota Prius c First Drive – Prius Goes Small with City Version
La Jolla, California — Americans long assumed that bigger meant better. But lately, going small is the new way to go big.
Apple is perhaps the best example. By creating a complete set of tools that range from the large (yet still quite small) iPad to the smaller iPhone down to the tiny iPod Nano and Shuffle, Apple figured out ingenious
Review – 2012 Toyota Camry is a Worthy Choice for Most Car Buyers
ABC’s popular television dating series, The Bachelor, started its sixteenth season at the beginning of January. I’m not a fan of this pop-cultural phenomenon that millions of viewers watch on a weekly basis. And I’m not quite sure why people are so infatuated with the show—especially guys.
Maybe it’s the fact that both men and women love watching 18 beautiful women
Review – 2012 Subaru Outback Is Favorite Car of Rocky Mountain Drivers
If an award existed for favorite car of the Rocky Mountain area, the Subaru Outback would be a top contender. Want proof? Simply visit any ski resort in Utah or Colorado and count Outback wagons in the parking lot. Trust me; you’ll see plenty. Some new. Some old. All of them well used.

2012 Nissan Sentra – An Appliance by Any Other Name
If you were to look up the word “appliance” in a car-themed dictionary, a photograph of the Nissan Sentra would likely be used to illustrate the term, as applied to the automotive market. This is surprising from a company that has typically positioned itself as the exciting Japanese brand, a company that uses “Shift” as a marketing tagline, a

Vehix editors like wagons and though the Toyota Venza isn’t our top pick for a wagon, we like this wagon quite a bit.

2012 Nissan Frontier – Elimination of Rangers Opens New Frontiers for Nissan
The last Ford Ranger rolled off an assembly line at the end of 2011. The workhorse Ranger, a popular choice for companies and businesses because it was cheap and reliable, joins the Dodge Dakota, Mazda B-Series, Mitsubishi Raider, and Subaru Baja in the big scrapheap in the sky, leaving four compact or midsize trucks on the market. You’ve got the
