2014 Nissan Versa Note Review – Video

Mike Schlee

After delivering a lukewarm Versa sedan, Nissan pulls out all the stops (or maybe just some of them) in an attempt to create a competitive hatchback for 2014. Can the Versa Note be spacious, refined and efficient, and still a great value?

2013 Honda Pilot Review – Video

Craig Cole

The Honda Pilot earned its wings a number of years ago when it was redesigned for the 2009 model year. It’s been cleared for takeoff ever since, but is this large crossover aging gracefully or has it reached mandatory retirement age?

2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Review – Video

Luke Vandezande 6

With a dramatic new look and big fuel economy claims, is the MKZ Hybrid a new era luxury car, or just a warmed-over Ford Fusion?

Sami Haj-Assaad 3

In a world now bursting with eco-minded hatchbacks and sporty hot hatches, the CR-Z emerges somewhere in-between as an odd alternative.

Craig Cole

Refreshed for 2014, the E-Class makes for a handsome wagon, delivering space for the family and a connection to the road for the driver.

2013 Audi RS5 Review – Video

Luke Vandezande

The lone Audi RS model without a turbocharger, it might just be the best, and for that exact reason.

2014 Chevrolet Impala 2.5L 4-Cyl Review

Luke Vandezande

Chevrolet expects most to lean toward the V6 Impala, but what if you want the spacious, stylish new sedan with better fuel mileage?

2014 Kia Rondo Review

Mark Atkinson 2

Axed from the U.S. market several years ago due to low sales, we drive the second-generation Kia Rondo to see if big changes warrant a comeback.

2014 Subaru Forester XT Review – Video

Luke Vandezande

Can more power and a stiffer suspension stave off the CVT doldrums in Subaru’s all-new Forester XT?

2013 Mercedes C250 Sedan Review – Video

Craig Cole 2

Does a four-cylinder engine belong under the hood of a Mercedes? The prestigious German automaker is challenging convention with its new C250 sedan. Did they succeed in their mission or are luxury and efficiency mutually exclusive?

2013 McLaren MP4-12C Review – Video

Colum Wood 3

You don’t need to know how a car works to appreciate the McLaren MP4-12C, but it helps.

2014 Acura MDX Review – Video

Mike Schlee

Even if it doesn’t look it, the MDX is all-new and hopes to continue its sales success in the contested mid-size luxury crossover segment. Are the changes for 2014 enough?

2013 Ford F-150 Review – Video

Stephen Elmer

With an all-new Silverado and a significantly updated RAM 1500, we test out the mildly refreshed Ford F-150 to see if it can retain its sales crown.

2013 Audi S7 Review – Video

With a turbocharged V8 engine and a more aggressive twist to the A7’s already sexy lines, the S7 constantly reminds its occupants that they are indeed driving something special.

Luke Vandezande 2

Rather than “finding new roads,” Chevrolet’s latest compact car follows familiar German footsteps to deliver an intriguing product.

2013 Toyota Prius Plug-in Review – Video

Colum Wood 1

The Prius plug-in hybrid doesn’t lend itself well to hype, but look at the numbers and this electric car starts to add up.

2013 BMW X3 xDrive28i Review

Sami Haj-Assaad

A bigger 3 Series sounds like a great idea, but you won’t find all of BMW’s brilliant sport sedan in the X3 and you’ll likely find it a little lacking in luxury.

2014 Scion tC Review – Video

Mike Schlee

The 2014 Scion tC receives substantial styling updates, a few chassis revisions and a new infotainment unit. Is this enough to transform the tC from a stylish lukewarm hatch into a red-blooded hot hatch?

2014 Lexus IS 250 Review

Craig Cole 1
