At the peak of the economic/real estate bubble a couple of years ago, I parked on a my street and realized that almost all the other parked automobiles were SUVs; it was a surreal scene and I knew it. I don't "hate" SUVs, I just don't like them for the safety problems they pose for other drives (ever tried backing out of a spot with two SUVs on...

We pop the trunk, look under the hood, and push all the levers and buttons. Maybe we ask a few questions about horsepower or gas mileage. But the truth is, some of us don't even...
Just yesterday, we reported on Ford's first-ever 300 hp/30 mpg ratings for the 2011 Mustang. The company has vowed to achieve best-in-class fuel economy numbers for every new model it launches.
