Kicking Tires; First look at BMW 3 Series sport wagon
Now that the redesigned 2012 BMW 3 Series sedan is on sale, the German automaker is preparing to launch the many derivative body styles that accompany the carmaker's top-selling nameplate.

Kicking Tires; John Cooper Works GP model joins Mini lineup
A new limited-edition Mini model is joining the lineup, and the automaker calls it the "sportiest road-registered Mini ever made." The Mini John Cooper Works GP is a sport-tuned, race-inspired version of the 2-door hatchback. The new version is faster, beating the old model's lap time on Nurburgring's Grand Prix course by about 19 seconds, Mini says.

Ask Cars.com; For optimum ride comfort, pay attention to tires
Instead of picking a single winner, we will recommend five sedans: the Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Malibu, Chrysler 200, Lexus ES 350 and the Toyota Camry. All five are midsize cars with standard or optional six-cylinder engines that should provide ample ride comfort.
