| 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid: Subtract V-6, Add Supercharged Four and Electric Motor [2013 New York Auto Show] |
Mar 27th, 2013 |
|

| 2014 Chevrolet Camaro: If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It—Much [2013 New York Auto Show] |
Mar 27th, 2013 |
|
Debuting at the 2013 New York auto show, Chevrolet’s 2014 Camaro refresh consists of three or four relatively minor changes. But that simple statement isn’t quite fair to the people behind the bow-tie pony car. Just last year, Chevy upgraded the interiors of the entire Camaro lineup, upgraded dampers and anti-roll bars on V-8–powered models [...]

| 2013 Scion FR-S LT Update 5: Audio System Blues |
Mar 27th, 2013 |
|
After commuting in WOT’s long term 2013 Scion FR-S for about a week, I have some thoughts on what it’s like to live with the pint-sized sports coupe. Compared to the more expensive Subaru BRZ, the FR-S’ audio system comes up flat. Both cars offer a standard eight-speaker audio system, but the similarities end there. [...]

| 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid Boasts Supercharged I-4, 26 MPG Combined |
Mar 27th, 2013 |
|
Show floor update: Nissan’s first in-house-developed hybrid aims to exact little or no penalty in terms of packaging or utility — even towing remains at 3500 pounds.
