After five months of testing and living with the Nissan Leaf, the first mass-market all-electric car, we have published the road test, ratings, and full track report online. It will also be featured in the November issue of Consumer Reports magazine.
Since it’s not sold nationwide yet, we bought our Nissan Leaf in California this past April and had it shipped to our Connecticut test facility. The Leaf cost us $35,430, but it’s eligible for a $7,500 federal tax break and additional local in…

Among the concepts introduced at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, Ford unveiled a model that promises extreme efficiency—an electric bike.
Over the past decade, several automakers have launched branded bicycles, typically being high-end mountain bikes or foldable. Here, Ford has introduced a decidedly 21st-Century concept that combines pedal power with electricity.
Designed as a gender-neutral bicycle, the E-Bike is constructed with an aluminum and carbon-fiber frame. This lightweight structure ho…

We have it on good authority that Subaru finally will show a version of its new BRZ sports car—with sheetmetal!—at November’s Los Angeles auto show. It won’t look like the final product, however, and neither do Toyota’s two FT-86 concepts: The companies have an agreement not to show a single production body panel until the cars debut at Tokyo in December. That’s why all we’ve seen thus far are chassis studies from Subaru and, from Toyota, concepts with angry fillips, exaggerated diffusers,…

The bow-tie fires a shot across the bow of Ford’s Shelby GT500, while aiming for more.
Here’s the latest salvo in the perpetual power and performance war: Chevy will top Ford’s 550-hp Shelby GT500 with a husky 580-hp—SAE-certified—supercharged and intercooled 6.2-liter V-8 when the Camaro ZL1 finally hits the street early next year as a 2012 model. To compensate for Ford’s cam and valve advantage, Chevy resorted to the classic expedient of an extra 0.8-liter of displacement, thereby achievin…
