Filed under: Car Buying , SUV , Crossover , Chevrolet , Dodge , Ford , Honda , Kia , Mazda , Toyota Cars.com recently lined up seven new vehicles for a $37,000 SUV shootout. The 2012 Chevrolet Traverse , 2012 Dodge Durango , 2012 Ford Explorer , 2012 Honda Pilot , 2012 Kia Sorento , 2011 Mazda CX-9 and 2011 Toyota Highlander all squared off against one another in a range of evaluations, including a one-day highway drive and family testing. If you happen to be the deductive type, you may have noticed that the list above includes a fair number of genuine crossovers. Vehicles like the Chevrolet Traverse and Mazda CX-9 bear little resemblance to the body-on-frame bruisers of old, and even models like the 2012 Explorer and 2012 Durango have evolved out of their traditional shells.

2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Summer: Ann Arbor to Philadelphia Solving a quarter-life crisis. Six months ago, you would have found me in a crazier place in my life: I was living in the thick of the college experience and my days were filled with running to class in slippers, feverishly updating my resume, and cramming for final exams. Flash forward to today, and the situation is much different: I’m a 21-year-old college graduate, I have a steady job, and I have leases on a sensible apartment and a sensible mid-size sedan. I’ve reached a point of relative stability, which is nice, but as I drove home from the grocery store a few weeks ago, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I’m getting…boring

2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Summer: Ann Arbor to Mount Pleasant College Companion Being offered a chance to drive a new car is one I would rarely pass up, and this weekend is no exception. So, when the opportunity came my way, I jumped at the chance to drive our 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata to Central Michigan University, a school that I almost went to and that many of my closest friends attend. With the hard top in place and the black OZ wheels looking stellar, I set my sights on a college weekend with my friends.

2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Summer: A Trip Down Memory Lane On a boat, back in time, and through the woods. Not so long ago, the thought of inching a Mazda Miata onto a giant car ferry in Muskegon, Michigan, at 9:30 on a Thursday morning — after already having driven three hours on the interstate in the little cruise-control-less two-seater — wouldn’t have seemed very appealing to me. You see, before I worked at Automobile Magazine , I thought that Mazda Miatas were chick cars and American horsepower was absolute king.

2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Summer: Shoe Shopping In search of tires with more stick and less squish. Even before our summer Miata arrived, we had planned to purchase a second set of tires. Knowing that the nimble, rear-wheel-drive roadster would see several track days and autocrosses, we wanted more aggressive rubber to help us turn faster laps and to preserve the stock Yokohama Advan A11As for daily use. When our early outings to GingerMan Raceway revealed that the standard 205/50VR-16 rubber was quite clumsy due to its tall and flexible sidewall, the need for grippier tires took on a new sense of urgency.
