(CNNMoney) — My first ride in Google’s self-driving car was, all at the same time, thrilling, fascinating and a little disappointing.The car was in Washington DC where Google representatives met with groups like the AARP and the National Council for the Blind, groups which might have an interest in cars that that could act as chauffeurs for those who, for one reason or another, can’t drive themselves.I got to ride along on a loop around several DC blocks with two Google engineers in the front seats.

The Greatest Car Review Detail EverArticle from Jalopnik:A few years ago I was in a used bookstore in the Tenderloin section of San Francisco. Getting to this place meant running a gauntlet of agressive tranny hookers, but it was all worth it, as I found a pristine copy of one of the greatest auto review magazines ever published: a February 1967 copy of Road Test. What makes Road Test great is the incredible depth of the comparisons they do. I guarantee nobody spends as much time deciding what car to buy as these guys did. Nobody could be that [...] Continue Reading…

Rita Cook

DALLAS, May 14, 2012 — Small, but efficient and redesigned for 2012, the Toyota Yaris might be one car you don’t want to pass up when searching for the perfect small vehicle that is big on handling and short on gas guzzling.
Since the Yaris has been fully redesigned it comes with better handling while being stylish to a fault, and it’s roomier too with 2.9 inches added this year giving it more luggage space for the long haul.

New Chevrolet Trax To Debut at Paris Motor ShowArticle from Motorward:

Chevrolet has a new player for the small crossover segment, and it’s called the Trax.
