The overall test score variation differs from brand to brand, with some brands' worst model being still doing rather well, while others span a wide range, making any generalities quite misl... Read more

2016 TOYOTA RAV4 XLE AWD vs 2016 HONDA CR-V EX AWD (pt. 2)

Carpartsnigeria Special Issue Vol:7 Executive Summary reviews that both of these "Small Sport Utility Vehicles" are about the same size and offer value, space, and fuel economy.

ENGINE - CHECK YOUR BELTS

CHECK YOUR BELTS

At the front of your engine there will be a series of rubber drive belts that loop around various pulleys, driving everything from the alternator to the a/c compressor. Rubber perishes, more so in extreme conditions like those found in an operating engine bay. Get your timing belt and accessory drive belt checked every 25,000 miles, preferably replacing it every 50,000 miles

2017 Infiniti Q30

2017 Infiniti Q30 First Drive

Lexus LC 500 coming 2016

Believe it or not, it's been nearly four years since we first saw the Lexus LF-LC Concept. Its swoopy style and spindle grille kicked off a big design revolution for Lexus, and we saw a number of LF-LC design elements work their way onto production cars. But now, rumor has it a full-on production version will see the light of day, and soon.

Motoring.com.au says the LC 500 coupe will show its face at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show in January, and we have little reason to doubt this. In fact, it's kind of been a long time coming. The LC was reportedly approved for production in 2... Read more
