Reviews SummaryRodney Dangerfield was a legendary stand-up comedian, and while his on-stage shtick was all about how he didn’t get any respect, as a comedic talent he was held in the highest esteem. That’s not the case for the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. The oft-maligned Malibu literally gets no respect, which is too bad because with its most recent redesign for the 2016 model year, the car absolutely deserves it. | |
Reviews SummaryThe Acura TLX has offered competent performance since it was introduced in 2015, replacing the old TSX and TL sedans. With a redesigned face, a faster infotainment system, retuned transmissions and extra standard safety, Acura aims to woo new customers to the segment who have so far largely ignored this “also-ran.” But it’s the sporty new A-Spec trims that are the real winners for 2018. | |
