American drivers love dependability and, in the case of Toyota's midsize car, the numbers don't lie: last year the Toyota Camry was the best-selling car in America for the tenth year in a row and 14 of the past 15 years.

Hold onto your hats my friends, the midsize segment has a new player and, take it from us: you're really going to like it.

All-new for 2009, the 2013 Ford Flex has received a mild makeover. Outside, its corporate three-bar grille was given the heave-ho, replaced by a single central bar set into a surround that integrates into the headlamp covers giving it a sleeker Futurama-esque look. Badges and logos were also moved around a bit.

Unveiled at the 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit alongside a concept version of the smaller Prius c, the Prius v represents the first variant of the Prius AVW platform.

If you have yet to see it in person, picture this: a true 4-seat car (yes, 2 full-sized adults can sit in the back seat with plenty of head, hip and leg room) that, when compared to the diminutive Ford Fiesta, is 200 pounds lighter, has a wheelbase that's 4.5 inches shorter and an overall length that's nearly 16 inches less.

Aficionados of the bold and rugged Pathfinder SUV have been put on notice: if you want one you'd better high-tail it down to your local Nissan new car dealer quickly.

Back in September, Chrysler released vehicle sketches representing Mopar's vision of an extreme makeover that would be making their way to 2012 SEMA show in Las Vegas.

Toyota announces that the new 2012 Camry SE Sport Limited Edition four-cylinder model begins, and should arrive at Toyota new car dealers by Labor Day weekend.

Upon looking at the new for 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid, I suspect many American drivers would have a hard time distinguishing between it and the previous generation. This, despite the fact that the sheetmetal is all new - which is a shame, because the changes that Toyota has wrought on its midsize sedan - especially the hybrid - are much more than skin deep.

Unveiled in concept form at the 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit alongside the production Prius v and in production form in North America at the 2012 Detroit show, the Prius c (the c standing for city) represents the first Prius model based on Toyota's Yaris platform.
