You could buy a brand new Hyundai Accent for $12,445. Or, you could spend the same amount of money just to add 4 accessory packages to the Infiniti JX35. When you opt for the Technology Package ($3,100), the Theater Package ($1,700), the Deluxe Touring Package ($2,550) and the Premium Package $4,950), then throw in a pair of Roof Rails ($370), you’ve added

There’s good news for those of you stuck in the past, longing for the days when voluptuous sheet metal and big block engines ruled the highways of America. Dodge has recreated the magic of those golden days of yore with the Charger R/T. It’s a sizeable sedan with 4 cavernous doors that open wide to accommodate 5 adults, plus a 16.5 cubic

A year ago, Chrysler announced a second quarter loss of 436 million dollars.

It’s not often that you’d pay extra money for a hybrid, just to gain a performance advantage over the conventional gas version of the same car.

The Rogue is small enough to handle with agility but big enough to pass the mountain bike test. This car-based SUV crossover weighs just 3,428 lb. which is notably light for an SUV. Yet its generous interior affords up to 58 cubic feet of storage space, with a hatchback door opening just wide enough to slip a mountain bike inside the cargo area
Read More »2012 Volvo C70 Inscription Convertible Review
This C70 has more facets to its personality than a Hearts On Fire diamond. The Inscription package blesses it with an uprated 250hp motor that yearns to power a sportscar. The full leather interior confers Bentleyesque riches on its inhabitants. And the upgrade is endearingly subtle . Only the black leather headrests are inscribed in black thread with the phrase “Inscription.”

BMW has just introduced its latest interpretation of the 3 Series sedan. It’s still fast, nimble, handsome and expensive.
