Car News (0)The latest auto car news written in the Automobile RSS Feed reports... McLaren MP4-12C, Lexus LFA, Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 and Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand SportThe death of metal.That massive hunk of steel in your driveway is slowly corroding into obsolescence -- both figuratively and literally. About the time that rust finally eats through the floorboards of your shiny new 2012 model, you'll be able to purchase -- no, afford -- a plastic car.

05.16.122012 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Sport Limited
Car News (0)The latest auto car news written in the Automobile RSS Feed reports... 2012 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Sport LimitedSubaru aimed to change perceptions of the Impreza this time around.It used to be the case that if a customer walked into a Subaru dealership hoping for an Outback or a Forester, but the customer's finances didn't quite stretch to allow the purchase of one of those perennially popular Subaru models, the salesperson would gently guide the customer to the back of the showroom and present to them the Impreza. The Impreza was the forgotten Subaru, the one no one cared about, the price ...

05.15.12First Drive: 2013 Ford Taurus SHO Performance Package
Car News (0)The latest auto car news written in the Automobile RSS Feed reports... First Drive: 2013 Ford Taurus SHO Performance PackageLapping the track in a full-size family sedan.Ford took a lot of flack for the 2010 Taurus SHO. A big car with a big engine, the SHO had straight-line speed in spades, but when it came to braking, Ford's full-size car couldn't handle the pressure. Plagued by awkward pedal modulation and serious brake fade, the Super High Output Taurus drove more like a nostalgic marketing exercise than a red-blooded engineering effort. Ford engineers rectified several shortcomings on all Taurus models with a ...

05.14.122012 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR
Car News (0)The latest auto car news written in the Automobile RSS Feed reports... 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MRRally-bred excitement, even without a clutch.The Evolution MR and I had only brief, late night and early morning encounters. For the first time, I was happy to find an automatic transmission in an Evo as I was in desperate need of minimum-effort transportation. Thus equipped, it actually proved to be a remarkably laid back chariot, with credit going to its light steering, surprisingly compliant ride, and supportive Recaro sport seats. My only complaint was that, as usual, I could have benefitted from a booster seat ...

Car News (0)The latest auto car news written in the Automobile RSS Feed reports... By Design: Ford FusionMainstream fashion.In the january ipad issue, I wrote the following about the Frankfurt concept car used as a teaser for the critically important production Ford Fusion/Mondeo: "I harbor a hope that the production Ford to be shown in Detroit two months after this is written will be even better than the Evos--and a worry that it won't be as good. Whichever it is, we'll be stuck with it for a while, because once the presses start stamping, it'll be a long time until anything can change." ...

05.14.12Driven: 2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI
Car News (0)The latest auto car news written in the Automobile RSS Feed reports... Driven: 2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLIThe best Jetta you can get.When the current-generation Jetta was launched, its big advance over the previous model was its much lower price. Unfortunately, that lower price was achieved with some severe cost cutting both in the car's mechanicals -- a cheaper rear suspension and a smaller, less-powerful engine -- and its interior. The arrival for 2012 of the top-spec GLI edition of the Jetta, goes a long way toward remedying those issues. Photo Gallery: Driven: 2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI - Automobile Magazine Photo Gallery: ...

Car News (0)The latest auto car news written in the Automobile RSS Feed reports... 2012 Volvo S60 T6 AWD - A Fond FarewellA highly sought weekend companion.The Volvo S60 arrived in our fleet a little more than twelve months ago, in April 2011, just before the start of the summer vacation season. Right out of the gate, the Volvo went on road trips to Tennessee, Chicago, and northern Michigan and racked up more than 3000 miles on the odometer. Over those largely highway miles, the S60 showed itself to be a comfortable long-distance cruiser with an impressive powertrain, capable handling, and a high ...

05.10.12Driven: 2012 Buick Verano 1SL
Car News (0)The latest auto car news written in the Automobile RSS Feed reports... Driven: 2012 Buick Verano 1SLIt's the best-ever baby Buick; shame about its appetite."Big as a Buick" is a phrase that rolls easily off the tongue, and for good reason. For decades, one of this stalwart brand's consistent deliverables was sheetmetal and lots of it. That started becoming a problem, however, round about the days of the first gas crisis. Buick, like other GM divisions, rushed out a series of smaller entries, most of them called Skylark -- although a Skyhawk also snuck in there. And most of them were ...
