• Best New Cars for 2011

    If you’re looking to make a splash with your next car, consider an all-new 2011 model. Many of the most exciting 2011s are already on dealer lots or readily available for pre-order. Since these are brand new or redesigned from the ground up, chances are most people have never seen them before. Plus, manufacturers are already offering incentives on most of these models to get the buzz going and get people into showrooms.

  • Best cars for teenage drivers

    Big, boring and slow. That's the formula for teenage drivers, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a nonprofit that analyzes auto safety and driving issues.
    "The vehicle choice for teens is especially crucial because of their higher risk of getting into a crash," said Russ Rader, the institute's spokesman.

  • Kelley names Top 10 green cars

    “Green” is the new big thing in the auto industry, and Nissan's introduction later this year of the first mass-produced, highway-capable electric car sets the stage for more zero-tailpipe-emissions vehicles.
    We're going to be seeing more of those, too, as we get closer to the 2016 deadline the Obama administration has set for the automakers to achieve CAFÉ (corporate average fuel economy) ratings of 34.1 mpg.
    But the whole green concept includes more than just the pure electric vehicles such as the Nissan Leaf; it also encompasses products with great fuel economy such as gasoline-electric hybrids, the coming plug-in hybrids such as the 2011 Chevrolet Volt and even “clean” diesels such as those being sold by Germany's Volkswagen in the U.S. market.


  • Metrolink to unveil commuter train cars with crash-absorbing impact zones

    Trying to shed a record of deadly accidents, Southern California's Metrolink system will take a leap forward on safety this week when it unveils the nation's first commuter train cars designed to better protect riders and crews with crash-absorbing, collapsible impact zones.
    Akin to the crushable bumpers added to automobiles in the 1970s, the 117 high-tech cars, costing a total of $230 million, are the product of years of federal research and a fast-tracked development push by the region's rail service after a horrific accident five years ago in Glendale.


  • 17 fantastic concept cars



    During the last international auto show season, we saw a range of concept cars, some with wild, futuristic designs and some that look like they could roll out of a garage today. Three particular themes emerged amongst these design studies:
    1. Hybrid and electric power trains
    2. Small city cars
    3. Personal electronics integration
                                               Obviously, automakers are making serious efforts to build more fuel efficient cars, prodded by new European and U.S. regulations. BMW and Porsche joined hybrid stalwart Toyota with new gas-electric concepts.
    Automakers are also planning for growing urbanization with small cars that are easy to park and maneuver through congested city centers. Even GMC gets into the act of designing small, while Mini shows that it can get even smaller.
    A number of concepts shown by automakers try new ways to interact with personal electronic devices. The Peugeot BB1 in particular strives for complete smartphone integration.

  • Metrolink Unveils Safer, Crash-Resistant Cars

    CALTON,Calif (AP)-Southern California's Metrolink  is showing off new crash-resistant train cars that will replace most of its older cars.


    The cars, which feature "crush zone" technology to absorb impact in a crash, were unveiled Monday at Metrolink's maintenance facility in Colton.

    The commuter rail service began considering using the technology after a 2005 crash in suburban Glendale that killed 11 people.

    Another crash in 2008 in the San Fernando Valley killed 25 people and unleashed a second wave of concern about Metrolink safety.

    Metrolink hopes to have 117 cars ready by next year.

    The $229 million fleet is being built by Rotem, a division of Hyundai, in South Korea.
