Hyundai, it appears, has found it. The South Korean automaker once known for "cheap and cheerful" economy cars has kicked its game up a few notches and even those who chuckled at the thought of owning one now are paying attention. It's been hard not to with the massive ad campaign the company is waging. Ad campaign resonatesThink Sunday. As in Super Bowl Sunday, the day... Full article...

SIMONS, Georgia -- The 2010 RX 350 is scary quiet. Frightening because you can hit 80 mph and still think you're doing 50. And that's not a good thing to do in southern Georgia, where the sweet tea is ever flowing and the police wear mirrored sunglasses and carry big radar guns. Again and again, journalists testing the vehicle were warned the surrounding estuaries were thick with state, county and local authorities, waiting for a chance to pull over and write up anyone breaking the rules of the...

But even the rolling elite of Naples' exclusive Port Royal, Grey Oaks and Pelican Marsh enclaves are feeling a little thriftier in these uncertain times. The real estate crash, followed by a glut of multimillion-dollar homes and condos for sale, and now Madoff jitters and Wall Street's meltdown have cast a rare chill over the pockets and purses of the...

Among the eight members named Friday to the Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry and the 10 senior policy aides who will assist them in their work, two own American models.

Lipstick on a dinosaur? Far from it -- no matter what some groups may shout in an overly shrill voice. SUVs still serve a purpose. They still have unmatched capabilities and still can do things crossovers and cars can only dream about. During January's heavy snowfall, I hopped into the new Lexus LX 570 and burrowed my way down the road without a problem. The full-time four-wheel drive ate up snow and ice like "Survivor Man" in...

The industry expects consumer interest in small premium crossovers to grow and consequently the number of entries in the sector is expanding dramatically. The upscale small sport utility vehicle format was successfully established several years ago by Lexus with the RX300, and since then a few primary rivals have emerged, such as the Acura MDX, Infiniti EX35 and BMW X3. But this year a... Full article...

While I have no statistical data to support my theory that Lexus drivers collectively exhibit the worst roadside manners in the U.S., I have plenty of anecdotal evidence: The Lexus driver on her cell phone in California who nearly ran me off the road in Westwood.
