Jaguar is recalling 940 model-year
2013 versions of the XF sedan due to a problem with the air cooler hose, according to the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The affected vehicles use the
turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and were manufactured from July
2012 through May 2013; check your vehicle's build date on a sticker on the
driver-side doorjamb. In these sedans, the air cooler hose may be loose,
allowing it to detach. If this happens, the engine could stall, increasing therisk of a crash.
Dodge's
Charger is a competitive member of the large-car class, but the
redesigned-for-2014 Chevrolet Impala might just give it a run for its money.
Still, bold styling, impressive ride quality and affordable prices put theCharger at the head of the pack.
You saw this coming a mile away.
GM's new K2 platform, which underpins light-duty versions of the 2014 ChevroletSilverado and GMC Sierra, will sprout a lot more trucks — heavy-duty versions
of those pickups, plus their related SUVs: the Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban and the
GMC Yukon/Yukon XL. Eventually we'll get the big daddy of them all — the
Cadillac Escalade, a favorite of Hollywood A-listers, star athletes and the
run-of-the-mill rich. GM confirmed aspects of the timeline at this month's
Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars, the Detroit News said on Aug. 8.
Well, now we have a timeframe. The
next Cadillac Escalade will arrive for the 2015 model year, and we'll see it in
less than two months. Citing a media invitation, the Detroit News reports Cadillac will unveil a new Escalade in New York City on
Oct. 7. The invite called the Escalade "evolutionary" — expected,
given the styling direction of its pickup siblings.
