2013 BMW X1

Opinions found at the Autoblog table of most auto show press rooms are usually in concert, but every once in a while, we fail to come to a consensus. This 2013 BMW X1 is one such cause of discord, you see, as some of us think it belongs only on European streets, while others insist it will find enough homes here in North America.

The smallest of Bavarian crossovers has been available in overseas markets for a while now, but with its unveiling here at the New York Auto Show, BMW is preparing to launch it in the North American market. And along with it, the tallish wagon has received a facelift and interior rework.

When deliveries begin at American BMW showrooms this coming September, buyers will be able to choose between two twin-turbo engines – the 245-horsepower sDrive28i (in rear-wheel-drive) or all-wheel-drive xDrive28i, and the 306-hp X1 xDrive35i. The first and last are U.S. exclusives.

Pricing? Glad you asked. The X1 sDrive28i will carry a $31,545 price tag – including $895 in delivery fees. The churns-at-all-fours xDrive28i commands $33,245, and the 306-hp xDrive35i can be yours for $39,345.

Mazda News

Despite Previous Doubts, Mazda Bringing Diesels To The U.S. When it comes to increasing fuel economy across a product range, automakers currently have a few options. First, they can make vehicles lighter and engines more efficient, which will net immediate gains with only modest development costs.
 The next step involves either hybridization or the addition of diesel offerings throughout the product line, but both add cost (and potentially, complexity). In March of 2009, Mazda jumped on the clean diesel bandwagon, favoring it for it’s lower cost and high reliability.
 Weeks later, the automaker backpedaled, saying that it would embrace hybrids and electric cars in the coming years, instead of focusing exclusively on diesels and more fuel efficient gasoline vehicles.
 In the years since, Mazda has invested a significant amount of money on its SkyActiv technologies, which extend to engines (both gas and diesel), transmissions and platforms. The net result is lighter vehicles, with greater fuel efficiency, that still retain the fun-to-drive factor that Mazda has always marketed.
 Now comes word from Automotive News (subscription required) that Mazda is back to emphasizing the benefits of clean diesel. Mazda North America CEO Jim O’Sullivan called diesel “a good differentiator,” that would further Mazda’s reputation for “always doing something a little different.”
When a Mazda is all hooked up and ready to go, it can present an electrifying and unique sight that is impossible to ignore. Regardless of model, they all just seem to have the “it” factor that crosses all boundaries, giving their owners that feeling of custom satisfaction they undoubtedly savor. It is for this kind of driver why CARiD.com exists. And we know that for a Mazda to be at its full potential means that the front-end has been stylized. That means one thing: Mazda Grills.

Chrysler Aspen SUV Review

The Chrysler Aspen is a full-sized SUV designed for heavy towing capacities. It has a body-on-frame design which makes it more like a truck-base SUV than a crossover, and provides good off-roading capabilities. This also provides for a heavier vehicle that lends itself to a rough and tumble ride which requires a more powerful engine with lower fuel consumption. However, its spacious interior provides plenty of room for the family and the extra towing capacity is beneficial for long family trips.

The Chrysler Aspen is comes in two trim levels: the Limited and the Limited HEV. The latter is the hybrid version of this vehicle. Two-wheel or four-wheel drive is available on the Limited and standard features include automatic headlamps, 18-inch alloy wheels clad in chrome, fog lamps, a rear parking camera and rear park assist, a driver seat that is powered, a power tail gate, a tilting steering wheel, second row seats that recline and third row seats that split and fold. There is climate control for the third row, cloth upholstery that is stain-resistant, wood trim and an audio system with eight speakers and touchscreen control, music storage of up to 30 Gigabytes, CD player and an auxiliary audio jack.
Each model on the Chrysler roster has a story to tell, a tale of American innovation and class. It is the refinement within every Chrysler detail why the brand is so revered, and that hasn’t changed.

2012 Ford Escape

Okay, it may look a bit dated, but the Escape lineup--including the petroparsimonious Hybrid--has always received the very latest in Ford safety and convenience technology, and can even parallel park itself, thanks to optional, class-exclusive Active Park Assist.

You can pretty much have it your way, with drivetrain choices ranging from frontdrive 5-speed-manual 2.5-liter I-4 to a silky, flex-fuel V-6 sending 240 bhp to all four wheels via a 6-speed automatic.
