Toyota Gives 2014 4Runner SUV a Styling Massage [42 Photos & Videos]

Posted: 28 Apr 2013 08:42 AM PDT


Toyota has lifted the veil off its updated for the 2014 model year, 4Runner mid-size SUV at the Stagecoach Music Festival near Palm Springs, California. The refresh for the fifth generation of the Toyota's body-on-frame SUV brings a somewhat tougher look on the outside and a few styling and technology updates to the interior, but other than that, there are no other significant changes.

Looking at 2014 4Runner from the outside, you'll first notice the redesigned front fascia featuring a more rugged and aggressive appearance, with the massive front grille and smoked headlights also contributing to the meaner look. The Trail grade also comes with a hood scoop and silver painted front and rear bumper accents, while all trim levels are offered as standard with a roof rack.

Hyundai Apologizes for Mocking Suicide in Hyundai ix35 Commercial [w/Video]

Posted: 27 Apr 2013 09:30 AM PDT


Following Ford's apologies related to its India advertising prints featuring tied-up women, it is now Hyundai's turn to apologize for the work of an overseas advertising company.

The banned commercial, created by the agency Innocean Europe for Hyundai UK, shows a middle-aged man attempting to commit suicide in a closed garage by leaving the engine running, with a hose connecting the exhaust pipe to the cabin. His attempt fails, though, as the Hyundai ix35 he's in runs is a fuel-cell version that emits just...water vapors.

Up until recently, if you wanted an efficient Volkswagen, there was no better alternative than a diesel-powered model. Their diesels were and still are very competent, but now US car buyers can get a different kind of green V-dub, the Jetta Hybrid. Revealed in early 2012, at the Detroit auto show, the car has been on the market for a while now, and Consumer Reports recently got their hands on one to try it out. Read more »
