Despite being the first and closest rival to the Toyota Prius, Honda’s Civic Hybrid has never been a serious competitor to the car who’s name is synonymous with gasoline-electric transportation.

Volvo’s all-wheel drive 300-hp S60 T6 could easily find its way on to a lot of different shopping lists. The same would not, at first, appear to be true of the entry-level T5 model.

It’s new? Are you sure? But it doesn’t look new. Then again, MINI hasn’t really come up with an original design since the ‘new’ Cooper debuted in 2001. And even then one could argue it was just a modern interpretation of the classic shape. http://www.autoguide.com/manufacturer/mini/2011-mini-cooper-s-review-1530.html Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AutoGuideVideo http://www.youtube.com/Autoguide Twitter http://twitter.com/AutoGuide …

Back in 2007 Buick unveiled the Enclave crossover and the brand embarked on a quest to reinvent itself. With new styling, the LaCrosse pushed the envelope further, adding improved interior trim quality, while still retaining the brand’s big-as-a-boat-and-feels-like-one-too drive quality. http://www.autoguide.com/manufacturer/buick/2011-buick-regal-review-video-1482.html But the 2011 Buick Regal is the definitive step …

Read More »2011 Honda CR-Z Review – Honda builds a better MINI Cooper, that just happens to be a hybrid
It’s not an econo hatchback for all, but a niche market hybrid perfectly targeted to appeal to a certain group of consumers. No, it doesn’t attract the ultra granolas, nor is it a hit with the sort of enthusiasts who know their Hondas not by name, but by chassis code. …

If the Mazda2 proves anything, it’s that 100-hp can in fact be fun. That’s right, in case you haven’t heard, the newest and smallest car in Mazda’s lineup makes a piddly 100 ponies — almost a third of what you’ll get in some mid-size sedans. http://www.autoguide.com/manufacturer/mazda/2011-mazda-2-review-1451.html Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AutoGuideVideo http://www.youtube.com/Autoguide Twitter …
