It's tough enough choosing what new car to buy, but finding the right used one can be even more difficult. I have a list of tips on how to look for a good used car, which you can find in the Toronto Star by clicking here.
Speaking from Shanghai, NHTSA Administrator David Strickland tells Bloomberg that “a number” of Chinese automakers have expressed interest in selling their products in the US, to which the auto safety regulator says: When they offer their vehicle for sale, we will treat them like we will treat any company whether it is a Detroit company [...]
The A-Class concept does two things for Mercedes-Benz. It hints at what kind of premium small car we’ll finally get from the brand in the United States, and it hints at a new, better design direction for the full lineup.
Mercedes will launch a next-generation A-Class in Europe late this year, though it won’t necessarily be this elegant two-door hatchback. The A-Class will be a lineup of four cars, with different bodystyles, including at least one using the current A’s flat powertrain that fits un…

With all 4 cars at the front of the field to start the race it was still anyone’s game to get to Victory Lane. Played out like a chess board with the pieces stuck together in pairs, Sunday’s Aaron’s 499 at Talledega Superspeedway wasn’t as exciting as many of the races we’ve seen, or will see this season, with the exception of the final lap. 8 cars rushing for the line and only o…
Does adding carbon fiber to an automobile automatically improve it? Perhaps not, but Volvo thinks it can improve the look of its smallest model. The company’s Italian wing recently unveiled a new special-edition C30 — the Black Edition — which attempts to use the woven composite material to dress up the three-door hatchback.
Leveraging Italy’s apparent love for carbon fiber (we’ve lost count of the composite-bodied supercars that hail from the country), Volvo utilized the m…
Spring is here and that means it’s time for a little cleaning—such as closets, the yard, and yes, the car. Like it or not, the chariot that got you faithfully through the winter deserves a little love, too.
Start with a good washing, and maybe even a waxing if you’re feeling ambitious. Getting rid of the salt residue and other winter grime is important (especially in the wheel wells and undercarriage). Removing crud from your car’s finish will not only make it look better, but it’ll help preserve…
Traffic sucks and we all hate it. Being stuck in traffic for multiple hours a day, five days a week has to be one of the worst experiences for anyone.
Now, while we can’t do anything about it, we can at least help you figure out how bad your commute is compared to someone else.
Using data from traffic-tracking firm INRIX, which includes information from 4 million vehicles across the country using GPS and smartphone data, the folks over at Daily Beast went through the painful task of putting toge…

Mated standard to an AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C…
Volkswagen first announced its 2012 Golf Cabriolet at the Geveva Motor Show earlier this month, and just a few weeks later the automaker has begun production on the new convertible model.
Volkswagen hasn’t offered a cabriolet variant of its popular Golf model since 2003 — two generations ago. Filling the gap since then has been the slightly upscale Eos and retro-chic New Beetle Convertible, but both were aimed at different target markets, a hole has remained in the VW lineup.
Although largel…
