(March 23, 2018) ROCKLEIGH, N.J. — As Swedish luxury automaker Volvo Cars moves into its next growth stage, the new Volvo V60 wagon and a luxury trim of the XC40 compact SUV will make their North American debuts at the New York International Auto Show next week.

The 2019 XC40 Inscription, a luxurious trim on Volvo’s new compact SUV with unique styling details, and the new 2019 V60 wagon, the latest torchbearer in a long line of Volvo wagons, are set to be seen for the first time this side of the Atlantic.

(March 22, 2018) FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. — Hyundai’s Tucson Sport is now equipped with a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder GDI producing 181 horsepower and 175 lb.-ft. of torque, an advantage over key competitors the Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Rogue.

Peak torque delivery starts at 4,000 rpm, similar to the majority of segment competitors, delivering responsiveness and performance in everyday driving conditions.

This 1960 Ford Thunderbird was spotted in Texas Hill Country, although we don't know if the well-used, but still restorable  T-Bird was actually sold. Ford began building four-passenger Birds in 1958 after they started life three years earlier as a two-seat sports car. The 1960 model can be differentiated from the rear by its three taillights on each side. The 1958 and 1959 models had two. (Photo by Peter Hubbard)

(March 21, 2018) While sedan sales continue to decline in favor of utility vehicles, mid-sized family sedans like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry received major redesigns for 2018 in an attempt to attract buyers back and stop the bleeding. However, designers at Hyundai elected to go with a mid-cycle refresh instead. But, this refresh is about as close to a redesign as you can get without changing the engines.
