In Car & Driver 's hands, one of Japan's smaller mid-size sedans, the Suzuki Kizashi, fitted with a 6-speed manual and the obligatory 4-cylinder engine, managed to guzzle fuel at the same rate as one of Japan's uglier mid-size crossovers, the Honda Accord Crosstour, a vehicle which was ...

Car & Driver's January issue features Patrick Dempsey's hair on the last page. Hopefully you're more interested in Car & Driver 's 10Best feature, an awards template similar to that of GoodCarBadCar.net's The Good 12 , a process which starts for the third time on Tuesday. Outside of ...

As far as the three main luxury automakers not seen in the Graph go, sales reached just 2,218 in November. Porsche actually improved upon last November. Hummer and Saab tanked miserably; harmed by desirability mostly but also availability. Once again, the biggest slice of the pie goes ...

BMW's 3-Series is the Stephen Harper of luxury cars. Canada's Prime Minister, an excellent political strategist though not a charismatic figure, has great fun smothering the voices of opposition. His underlings help control the questions he is asked by the media. And his ability to dismantle ...

Certainly Ford can cope with overwhelming Chevrolet Camaro sales in its first few months on the market. Potential owners who went without a Camaro possibility for the middle part of this decade were finally able to satisfy their craving. People who need to buy the newest, hottest, fastest ...

Given the Honda CR-V's longstanding reign atop the SUV totem pole, being overtaken would come off as surprising. At first. Given Ford's Marketplace momentum, however, perhaps bumping Honda into second place on the Top 5 Best-Selling SUVs in America list isn't surprising at all. ...

If only GMC Sierra sales were a little stronger than 8,371, General Motors would have been able to push their truck sales past the planet's dominant pickup family at the end of November. Alas. What's more surprising than the steady full-size truck sales is the abysmal small truck sales. ...

One notable name from many'a best-selling cars list is missing from November's top hot cars. The venerable Honda Civic was narrowly pipped by Ford's award-winning midsizer, the Fusion. Apart from that headline, nothing changes in terms of which cars make the cut as the Top 5 Best-Selling ...

Along came an up! Then a Space up!, Space up! Blue, E-up!, and now the latest, the up! Lite. Basically, the Volkswagen up! Lite is a diesel-electric hybrid with a 7-speed direct-shift gearbox and efficiency that puts the Toyota Prius to shame. Sharing bits and pieces with the new Small Car ...

Japanese infiltration of the U.S. automotive Marketplace is nothing new. You're not surprised to see Toyota leading the pack in auto sales for the month of November. Nor are you amazed to spot Honda on the list along with Nissan or even the luxury brand of Lexus. Americans love trucks, ...

You may now consider yourself acclimatized. In the small luxury SUV world, the Mercedes-Benz GLK is the dominant factor. Even in a good month for Audi's Q5, the GLK350 4Matic still comes out on top. Yes, this appears to occur every month - you're used to it - as hundreds of buyers after ...

Kia has returned to its dominant self in the raging battle between the Soul and the Nissan Cube. Straight out of the gate, Souls sold like iPods on a half-off sale while Cube sales were more comparable to... well, the Zune. Sucky for Nissan. At the same time, 2009 has revealed Kia to be a ...

Overall , Canadians bought fewer cars and trucks this November than they did in November of 2008. To be more specific, passenger car sales were off less than a percentage point while light truck sales dropped nearly 5%. Still, many automakers competing in Canada posted huge sales gains in ...

In October, the badge on the second best-selling SUV in Canada was the italicized H of Hyundai's. Meanwhile, October's fourth best-selling car in Canada also featured the italicized H. The Santa Fe and Elantra aren't newly introduced models, either. These are established players. Yet buyers ...

Miami hosted the introduction of Audi's 2011 A8 last night. A huge selection of pictures are now available in the Gallery below, along with a brief outline of specs and dimensions. The third-generation Audi A8 is longer and wider than its predecessor on a wheelbase that stretches 117.7 inches. ...

There's something innocuous but terrible about most V6-engined pony cars. From the start, you know it won't be all that sporty. It really won't be very fast. Embarrassing situations will arise every time its V8-engined equivalent pulls up to the lights as the next car over. This was all true ...

U.S. -based automotive brands dominated The Good Car Guy's list of the Top 5 Automotive Turkeys this year. On the flip side, good news stories surrounding U.S. automakers make up the majority of reasons for U.S. auto enthusiasts to be thankful this Thanksgiving. That being said, ...

Purists are those who urge or require strict correctness. Establishing correctness - and arguing with preconceived notions of correctness - is more challenging than actually urging or requiring said correctness. Interestingly, Ferrari purists are more than likely not owners of current ...
