Reviews SummaryThe 2017 model year marks the last one for the current generation of the Toyota Camry. It arrived in the summer of 2011 for the 2012 model year and was updated for 2014. And right after the New Year, at the 2017 North American International Auto Show, an all-new 2018 Camry was unveiled. So why are we reviewing a car that's about to be put out to pasture? For all its new looks, the 2018 Camry doesn’t promise a whole lot in the way of improvements (yet). And the current Camry has evolved through the years into a very competent sedan—one that gives the upscale Honda Accord a run for its money. If you're in the market for a family sedan this summer and looking at the long-lauded Accord and Camry, it really is a three-way decision between the Accord, the current Camry, and the soon-to-arrive 2018 Camry. But is it worth for you to wait for the ’18 or act now? Read on, as we’ll help guide you through the decision process. | |
Reviews SummaryCompromises are inherently dissatisfying, but the redesigned 2016 Chevrolet Volt represents a rare exception to this rule. The Volt provides half the range of a traditional electric car and returns fewer miles per gallon than a Toyota Prius. This compromise, however, is brilliant, because the Volt’s special powertrain allows for electric mobility the majority of the time while completely eliminating a phenomenon known as “range anxiety.” | |
