The Paris auto show is coming-but before we storm the Bastille that is the city's un-air-conditioned convention center, we'll preview the fall show's lineup here at TheCarConnection.com. Drive along with us after that in the new Acura TL Type-S, Suzuki SX4 and Mitsubishi Outlander, then find out what to look for in roadside assistance. See the next Volvo XC70 and Subaru WRX, look ahead to Ford's new Way Forward this week, and see where Toyota will expand next in this week's edition of TheCarConnection.
