| 2015 Chrysler 300 Hemi Driven: Gains an 8-Speed Auto, Loses AWD |
Dec 22nd, 2014 |
|
Quick! Name an American, rear-drive, V-8–powered, full-size sedan. If you said, “Chrysler 300,” you’re only 15 percent right, because that’s the proportion of 300 buyers who actually opt for the V-8.

| 2015 Subaru Outback 2.5 Road Test: Still Defying Convention |
Dec 19th, 2014 |
|
There’s a high-fiber thread weaving through Subaru that runs contrary to convention. While the station-wagon body style has been experiencing widespread decline and some automakers have abandoned it entirely, plucky Subaru sells four times as many wagons and wagonlike crossovers as it does sedans.

The 2017 Cadillac CT6 will sprinkle high-def screen wizardry onto us all—or, well, those who can afford a $70K-plus Caddy—in the form of a combination glass rearview mirror and TFT display.
