When it comes to “cuteness” few cars can match the MINI Cooper. With its subcompact dimensions and cheerful styling this little guy is like a kitten in a teacup except it doesn’t hiss or scratch and it can’t infect you with toxoplasmosis.

While all E-class models receive exterior styling changes for 2014, the E63’s unique fascias make it look even more aggressive. Offered in sedan or wagon, the E63 has a lot new going on under its skin, too. The 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 has been tweaked to provide 550 hp; a seven-speed automatic and 4MATIC are standard. […]

This is a gorgeous 2014 Chevrolet Captiva with only 18k miles on it. This vehicle has heated leather seats, power seats, power windows, remote start with keyless entry, power sunroof, Chevy MyLink Radio with USB port, and much much more.At Car Price Countdown, the price on each and every used car in stock is going […]

The 2014 Ford Mustang just isn’t very exciting. Outside and under the hood, it hasn’t changed much since model-year 2011 and the inside is straight from 2005. Stale design aside, the Mustang GT is blast to drive, especially top down. One place Thomas drove to a lot, however, was the gas station. He averaged just […]

The awesome performance of the XJR is produced by its 5.0L V8 550 hp Supercharged engine, tuned and calibrated to produce a 174 mph top speed.3 A raw note of pure power is produced by the tuned sport exhaust system with quad exhaust pipes. Far more than a luxury sedan with powerful engine, however, the drivetrain, chassis […]

From 1978-2003 Mitsubishi produced a car called the Mirage. This model morphed into the Lancer/Dodge Colt. Then for the 5th Generation the Mirage came back here in the U.S. only to die once again in 2003. Once more though for the 2014 model year the Mirage has been resurrected. This time though Mitsubishi came back […]

SRT means “performance,” and the Grand Cherokee SRT is no exception. This SUV gets the 470-hp, 6.4-liter Hemi, an eight-speed automatic, and standard all-wheel drive. The result is one large, heavy, thirsty, fast, fun ute. Kudos to the acceleration, Brembo brakes, skidpad performance, and 157-mph top speed. Thumbs down to the fuel economy, trucklike ride, […]

The 2014 Fiat 500L might be just what car buyers are looking for in a small four-door hatchback. This longer, wider and taller offshoot of the Fiat 500 boasts easy entry and exit, comfortable and versatile rear-passenger seating and impressive cargo space. However, driver comfort is debatable, negotiating curvy roads feels clumsy and the premium-fuel-for-best-results […]

Ages from now, when we look back at 2008–2013 with 20/20 hindsight, we’ll likely deem GM’s quick-rinse bankruptcy a blessing. Case in point: the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan arriving later this year. This car is an amalgam of a once-revered nameplate (SS) and one of the best cars developed by pre-Chapter 11 GM, the Pontiac G8. […]

New for 2014 is a diesel powered A7. The Audi A7 is a big, beautiful, spacious sports sedan with an ACE in the hole; that being the wonderful fuel economy. The TDI power plant can manage 24 MPG in the city and 38 MPG on the highway. That might not sound like a lot, but […]
