So how do you go about picking the top 5 American cars of all time? Do you choose the great classics, like the Marmon and Cadillac V-16s? Do you go back into the antique era for worthy but largely forgotten models like the Curved Dash Oldsmobile and Mercer Raceabout? Do you embrace muscle cars like [...]

Hyundai has long been known for its low-priced cars with extended warranty coverage, but the all-new-for-2011 Sonata offers something else: style.

When I first saw pictures of the new 2009 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CC, I thought it was a Mercedes. That’s a good sign.

Looking for a relatively affordable family vehicle with a luxury badge? Mercedes-Benz will introduce the 2010 GLK next month (that’s right, a 2010 car available in January 2009!) with a starting price under $35k. That makes the compact crossover more than $5k less expensive than BMW’s X3.
