2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive

If you've even considered going gasoline-free with a vehicle like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive -- the only way you can get a B-Class in the U.S. -- you’re probably already acutely aware that plugging in, and going all-electric, is a numbers game. Will you have enough available miles for your daily driving and...from The Car Connection http://ift.tt/1G4awLFvia IF...

2015 Lexus GX

The 2015 Lexus GX 460 is the kind of 'tough-truck' luxury SUV that was all the rage a decade ago; yet today it's a niche product – one that offers a luxurious cabin for family-hauling, as well as a full-fledged off-roading four-wheel-drive system for weekend warriors. For the U.S. it's become an increasingly hard sell, as even...from The Car Connection http://ift.tt/1vqsyzhvia IF...

2015 Toyota Corolla

The focus of the Toyota Corolla has long been basic, trouble-free, and relatively comfortable transportation, without the frills. But that all changed a bit a couple years ago, when Toyota added some more technology and flair to the Corolla, and free of biases that have long pegged the Corolla the blandest of the compact-sedan bunch...from The Car Connection http://ift.tt/1tpQsyevia IF...

2015 Lexus ES

The 2015 Lexus ES lands squarely between the IS and GS sport sedans in the Lexus lineup, and it serves as a comfort-minded and far less performance-oriented counterpart to them both. The ES 350 and ES 330h hybrid are based on the Toyota Avalon architecture (rather than, a few years ago, the Camry), and with a major redesign a couple of...from The Car Connection http://ift.tt/1tpQq9Gvia IF...

2015 Nissan Sentra

The Nissan Sentra gets what we'd call a realignment for 2015; with its features and options a bit reshuffled, in hopes that this compact-sedan family will attract more shoppers to the brand. And in the Sentra's segment of the market, competition is particularly tough, with some of the Sentra's rivals offering new technologies and...from The Car Connection http://ift.tt/1tpQpT1via IF...

2015 Kia Forte

The 2015 Kia Forte is a great example of how compact sedans are becoming more stylish and attractive on their own, rather than trying to emulate mid-size sedans. With its swoopy profile and sharp styling elements, it delivers a different look than the larger Optima, plus decent performance, an excellent feature set, three body styles...from The Car Connection http://ift.tt/1tVfQdtvia IF...

Is Leasing A Car A Losing Game?

To buy or to lease? That is the question Consumer Reports asked in a recent article examining the pros and cons of buying and leasing new cars. The answer? "In general it makes financial sense for most to buy a vehicle". The magazine says that goes double for slobs and parents -- and probably triple for parents of slovenly rugrats.

Nissan Frontier

The Nissan Frontier is one of the two remaining mid-size pickup trucks--that is, until the 2015 model year is in full swing.
