There’s a new car rolling out of the BMW Group Plant Dingolfing this year that is unlikely to ever find itself on an average BMW dealership lot—probably not even on the lots in Munich! What vehicle could be so special as to claim exemption from the normal life cycle of the 20 other BMW models […]
If there is one thing sports car enthusiasts agree on, it’s that putting an automatic transmission into a sports car borders on heresy. While you may end up succumbing to the demands of practicality (especially if you have a significant other who doesn’t share your enthusiasm for three pedals), an automatic transmission simply can’t bring […]
One of the most exciting industries in the world is the electric vehicle (EV) segment. After years of tantalizing hybrids and odd-looking short-range electric commuters, the rest of the industry is catching up to Tesla’s lead, and the goals that manufacturers have for worldwide lineup electrification by 2035 are staggering. Yet if details regarding GM’s […]
To the uninitiated, a Subaru dealer may seem like an odd place to shop for a sports car. Isn’t Subaru the expert on all-weather SUVs? You can pay $30k or so for a safe and satisfying family SUV, right? So then why does Subaru offer a surprisingly capable sports car, one reminiscent of the golden […]
College is one of the most exciting times in a young person’s life. For many young adults, it’s that first taste of independence. They’re living away from home for the very first time, in charge of all of their own meals and doing their own laundry. It’s a trial run at adulthood. One big part […]
It is likely that in any objective analysis of which individual nameplates constitute the greatest automobiles of all time, the Porsche 911 would be at the top of the list. It has it all––one of the world’s best performance pedigrees, daily livability, longevity, value, and timeless style. While other vehicles have done better as cash […]
Refined. Spine-tingling. Brilliant. These are all words used by critics to describe the C8 Corvette now that it’s been engineered with a new mid-engine design. It’s being praised as incredibly responsive with a dual-clutch transmission that smoothly transitions gearing, and the primal whine of the engine is more than just a hair-raising exhaust note. The […]
The humble origins of the second most iconic Ford are a far cry from the loaded, premium, engine roaring monsters blitzing down the roads today. And for a company that’s sworn off car production, the list of options for the 2022 Ford Mustang almost makes up for any misgivings we have about the Blue Oval […]
Technology has long been outpacing human ability, a fact made crystal clear when looking at the automobile industry. Fewer and fewer processes in a car are fully mechanical, operating purely between the driver and the car itself. When behind the wheel, the ECU is our cunning middle man, overseeing input and output far more efficiently […]
Classic trucks are more than shiny vehicles you hide in your garage until it’s time to drive them to a car show. When using the term “classic,” it’s just a fancy word for used trucks that have been well-maintained so that they still look nice and run well even though they’re old. Plenty of people […]
Modern sports cars have been getting faster, a lot faster. Speed is an easy metric to measure, and modern engineering is delivering more powerful engines than ever before, creating an arms race that makes the days of classic muscle cars look like a friendly competition. Affordable pony cars like the Ford Mustang GT and Chevy […]
In the animal kingdom, a raptor is defined as a bird known for taking down prey that is large relative to its own size. This type of predatory dominance is achieved with a body and mind fine-tuned for hunting. All things considered, Raptor is a fine name to designate Ford’s thrilling line of off-roading vehicles. […]
A game of tag is afoot in the burgeoning midsize pickup category, and Ford is it. Nissan’s recent release of the redesigned Frontier puts Ford on the hot seat to deliver on its next-generation Ranger, but does it have the goods? The 2022 Nissan Frontier vs 2022 Ford Ranger presents a gripping plot line for […]
“Anything worth doing is worth doing in excess.” Those are the words of American auto racer, designer, and entrepreneur Carroll Shelby, and one look at the 2022 Mustang Shelby GT500KR tells you this man knew what he was talking about. As a souped-up version of an already overpowered high-performance vehicle, the new KR, or “King […]
The family road trip brings a few clear images to mind—suitcases tied to the roof, some bumbling amusement park, and Chevy Chase. Worst of all, though, is the stereotypical family road trip vehicle. The precursor to the soccer mom van, the classic family car is a gentle giant, with a pointy front end and low […]
With over 100 years of experience designing durable, reliable, and high-performance vehicles, GMC has quite the cult following. Once you’re a GMC driver, you’re usually one for life. There’s a sense of power and control behind the wheel and the knowing that decades-old expertise went into every part of your car. If you’re in the […]
We’ve all seen the commercials pitting the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 vs 2022 Ford F-150. Pickup trucks are now apparently capable of pulling multiple times their weight, and then some. Do you want a truck that can pull the supports out from an overpass? Do you want a pickup that can tug-of-war with an 18-wheeler? […]
The key to business today is developing an edge that sets you apart from your competitors. Often referred to as a competitive edge, this is especially the case with the increasingly crowded field of automakers. Each manufacturer is looking for something to set its vehicles apart, and that can be anything from pricing to luxury […]
Always at the helm of innovation, Ford is constantly looking for ways to improve its lineup and attract customers to Ford dealers around the country. The Explorer is an excellent example of this as the best-selling SUV offers sophisticated on-road performance and a comfortable interior, but Ford recognized the model could be better and more […]
Chevrolet has a long history of beloved vehicles. Each of them weaves to represent a tapestry of American automotive history. Here, in the new millennium, certain Chevy models such as the 2022 Corvette need little-to-no introduction. The 2022 Chevy Malibu, though, may be a different story. Who bothers to remember what came before this car, […]
