Acura’s SUVs have been selling well since they were updated, but the same can’t be said about the brand’s sedans. The TSX is still offered, but it simply doesn’t stand out from the crowd. The TL is also available—at least until stocks run out—but its technologies haven’t kept pace with …

It wasn’t that long ago that the C-Class represented Mercedes-Benz's down-market model. However, I think we all agree that the C-Class isn't very low as far as low-end models go. Then, in an effort to broaden its client base, the venerable German manufacturer introduced its B-Class to North America, followed …

Canadians love Hyundai, but more to the point, they tend to fall for the smaller stuff first like the Elantra and the Accent - a reflection of our more frugal buying habits, as well as our lofty fuel prices. The 2015 Hyundai Sonata, however, remains the main thrust of the …

The third generation has just launched in Berlin, and it didn’t have anything to …

Flexing muscles is a top priority when you’re in the muscle car business, but instead of measuring muscle mass, it’s the horsepower numbers that dictate who’s got the biggest biceps. Chevy ruffled a few feathers when it introduced the Camaro ZL1 with 580 horsepower, and it wasn’t long before Ford …

With each generation, Cadillac’s full-size SUV has gotten better and better. If the first model, launched in 1999, went largely unappreciated, the second version of the Escalade saw an explosion in popularity. Overnight, it became a fashion accessory for celebrities.
