We seem to be missing something. If you recall, way back to the beginning of the era in which car manufacturers made their all-electric promises, we were told there were going to be all sorts of electric cars in the coming years.

Add in countless other examples, and it’s clear that […]
The 2000s were a golden era of automotive engineering, when fuel efficiency took a backseat to raw power and symphonic exhaust notes drew sighs of appreciation and anticipation, automakers pushed the boundaries of cylinder counts. It was an era of excess in the engine realm, with brands like Lamborghini, Porsche, Lexus, Audi, and others, teasing […]
For decades, conventional wisdom about trucks has been simple: if you want a pickup truck that delivers all-around capability for job sites, off-roading, and on-roading alike, you get a light-duty full-size truck. Commonly referred to as 1500 series trucks (or the F-150 in the case of Ford), these trucks are the standard for versatility among […]
Imagine yourself in the driver’s seat, cruising down a winding mountain road. A sharp curve is approaching, but you’re more than prepared to handle it.

When Nissan released the newest Z car, I had an early opportunity to check it out. The display model they had brought was a hypnotizing blue color that drew my eye. The body lines flowed so much better in person than they had in the release photos. My gaze followed the racing stripes up the […]
Oil becomes more than a maintenance interval for drivers who push their engines beyond the average commute. It becomes a tuning tool. Whether it’s high-revving track sessions, heavy-duty towing, or sustained highway pulls, demanding conditions place a unique strain on internal components. Factory recommendations are built around average use cases, not enthusiasts running wide-open throttle […]
Rumors of the HEMI’s demise have been greatly exaggerated, but can it compete with the Ram 1500’s new Hurricane engine?

Oh, the Honda Prelude, the sleeker and better-looking Honda Accord, a car made for the sole purpose of picking up dates—I’m not kidding; Honda said it themselves. Back in the day, in the year 2000, the Prelude was a relatively tame vehicle that combined front-wheel drive with a modest-revving 220 hp inline-four under the hood. […]
The kind of Mustang Mach-E you’ll find at a Ford dealer certainly has impressive stats for a compact SUV, with the most athletic trims able to go from 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds thanks to a powertrain that supplies up to 480 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque. But even with all that power and […]
Over the decades, Toyota has built a reputation and record that is coveted by many within the motorsports community. The Celica GT-Four, Yaris Rally1, Hilux Dakar, and, of course, the iconic Supra are just a few examples of stones that have paved the way in the brand’s “Roads build people, and people build cars” mentality. […]
A vehicle’s stock suspension is usually designed to smooth out the bumps in the road and make for a more comfortable ride.

SUVs are inherently American vehicles, with steeds like the Chevrolet Suburban and Jeep CJ 4×4 pioneering the concept, followed by the International Scout and Ford Bronco taking it to even greater heights. However, as knowledgeable off-roaders know, the SUV concept isn’t off-limits to the rest of the world. Land Rover, Toyota, Subaru, and even Honda […]
