2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive

If you've even considered going gasoline-free with a vehicle like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive -- the only way you can get a B-Class in the U.S. -- you’re probably already acutely aware that plugging in, and going all-electric, is a numbers game. Will you have enough available miles for your daily driving and...

2015 Lexus GX

The 2015 Lexus GX 460 is the kind of 'tough-truck' luxury SUV that was all the rage a decade ago; yet today it's a niche product – one that offers a luxurious cabin for family-hauling, as well as a full-fledged off-roading four-wheel-drive system for weekend warriors. For the U.S. it's become an increasingly hard sell, as even...

2015 Toyota Corolla

The focus of the Toyota Corolla has long been basic, trouble-free, and relatively comfortable transportation, without the frills.
