After giving us the Kuga (which is pretty much the same as America's Escape), Ford is sending another SUV to the old continent. The EcoSport is a compact aimed against competitors like the Opel Mokka (Buick Encore) or the Nissan Juke.

Audi has made a new toy for the Detroit Auto Show. When we first saw the SQ5 we noted it was the first S model with a diesel engine, which means we'd probably never get it. Now Audi's gone and made a new version for America with a free-revving supercharged V6 with two intercoolers. Sounds good already.

La Forza del Destino is an opera by Giuseppe Verdi that features love, death, betrayal. . . and gypsies! Less dramatic is today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Laforza, but will its price have you wishing the fat lady would sing?

With gas prices at $7,50 a gallon, it doesn't make too much sense to have an American car in Europe. I guess that's why Detroit tries to sneak into the old continent with Chryslers rebadged as Lancias these days.

Ever heard the phrase "share the road?" This Colorado SUV driver apparently hasn't, and decided to vent frustration about cyclists being on the road by tailgating and honking and honking and tailgating.

A month ago, Swedish car magazine Teknikens Värld tested the Jeep Grand Cherokee with its famous "moose test," an evasive maneuver simulation. The SUV failed miserably, standing up on two wheels as it negotiated a tight turn.

If you're in need of definitive evidence that human civilization is on a downward spiral, look no further than this.

If you didn't already know it, China has arrived. Bentley is tailoring its new SUV to meet Chinese buyers' tastes, because China is the company's largest market. But no one liked Bentley's new beast at the Geneva auto show, so the luxury carmaker is trying to find out why.

G63 AMG just a little too...agricultural for you? If so, then maybe this super-SUV is the truck for you. Mercedes has dropped its ubiquitous 5.5-liter, twin-turbo, 550 HP V8 into the mommy-mobile and called it the GL63 AMG.

Big families need large vehicles. A Canadian couple with eight children had their Canadian-purchased SUV stretched at an Oklahoma body shop, but when they tried to bring it home, Canadian customs officials wouldn't allow it back into the country.
