There are plenty of names that can conjure up feelings of excitement and images of raw power for car fans: names like “Corvette,” “Mustang,” “Charger,” and “Camaro.” It’s rarer, however, for just a couple of letters to do that, yet there’s a particular pairing that’s been used over the last 60 years or so, on […]
Author: Greg Wiesen
With a BA in English and a love of all things riding on four wheels (or six wheels if we’re talking about a dually, and you know we are), Greg Wiesen took the automotive journalism field by storm thanks to his dynamic writing style and ability to articulate the unintelligible. For more than a decade, Greg has lent his skills to writing about a wide range of topics, but exploring the latest cars, trucks, and SUVs has become his true passion. Now, if he could just convince Lamborghini to send him a Countach in exchange for a review, everything would be perfect.
Five Cars That Look Nothing Like They Used To
Some vehicle nameplates have stayed true to form over the decades; sure, they’ll get updates and refreshes with redesigns for new generations, but at their heart, they remain the same. A Camaro from 30 years ago looks different from one from last year and has different options and features, but you could still look at […]
Kia Stinger Reinvigorates Performance Sedans
For performance enthusiasts, there’s no shortage of different vehicles to choose from when looking at speedy coupes and convertibles. If you’re looking for an impressive, high-performance sedan, on the other hand, your options are much more limited. Anyone looking for a four-door with a bold engine, stunning performance, and a startlingly luxurious interior should head […]
Can the Grand Wagoneer Surpass the Lexus LX?
Jeep fans have had a lot to be excited about lately. From the powerful Wrangler Rubicon 392, to the hybrid performance of the Wrangler 4xe and recently updated, all-new Grand Cherokee, there have been a lot of great announcements coming out of that camp. One of the most exciting reveals, however, came last year when […]
The Road to a Nationwide EV Infrastructure
Over the last decade or so, the market for Electric Vehicles (EVs) has grown from a niche largely occupied by a handful of celebrities and enthusiasts into a very real and rapidly expanding showcase for the best vehicles being designed by most companies. At this point, owning an EV is less of a statement and […]
7 Things That Set the Silverado EV Apart
Now that we have the first concrete details about the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV, Chevy’s all-electric pickup, we can finally take a good look at some of what it has to offer. There’s no denying that Electric Vehicles (EVs) are taking the auto industry by storm, and the biggest new market seems to be EV […]
Could the Mustang Face an All-Electric Future?
If you had asked if the Mustang would turn into an EV just a few years ago, you probably would’ve been laughed out of the proverbial room and reminded that muscle cars will always be about roaring, fiery V8 engines. Of course, with the introduction of the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E, particularly the GT Performance […]
The Legacy of Chevy and the Z71 Package
One of the things that can scare some people away from really getting into cars as a fan is the substantial amount of vernacular and jargon that’s frequently used. Even pretty routine terms like “horsepower,” “torque,” and “payload” can all result in someone feeling quickly lost in a conversation about vehicles. Of course, for fans […]
Why Is the Lamborghini Urus So Popular?
If you had mentioned the idea of a Lamborghini SUV 25 years ago, you would’ve been laughed at by some and downright threatened with physical violence by others (or lectured about the “Rambo Lambo”). The very notion seemed foolhardy. Of course, the same could be said for a Porsche SUV, but here we are. Not […]
What Is Going on With Toyota?!
Dear Toyota fans, you might not be happy about this, and I don’t blame you, but your favorite car manufacturer seems to be fumbling the ball a bit with some of their latest tech features. It started with their unwillingness to help out people with older vehicles that still use 3G communication technology, and now […]
Your Mall Crawler Is Bad and You Should Feel Bad
Call it a “Bro-dozer,” a “street princess,” or a “mall crawler,” if you have a magnificently decked-out off-road machine ready to hit the trail and it’s never had a single splatter of mud on it, then you’ve made a huge mistake. I don’t care who you are, whether you bought your vehicle new or used, […]
A Look Back at the ’90s Nissan Lineup
Although Nissan has been exporting their cars outside of Japan since the ’50s, there’s no denying that the ’90s were a banner decade for the manufacturer. Some of the cars Nissan made in the ’90s include the Sentra, Altima, and Maxima, as well as the Pathfinder SUV, the introduction of the Nissan Frontier pickup, and […]
Five Amazing Years of the Corvette
Although it’s easy to focus on the 2020 mid-engine C8 or a classic model from some point in the last 60 years, the Chevy Corvette has been so fantastic throughout its entire run that you could pick pretty much any year and find something great. Of course, you already know this, but that doesn’t change […]
Ford Making Headlines for All the Right Reasons
All too often, major automakers like Ford are in the headlines for reasons that are less than great, especially throughout the last year amid shutdowns, health and safety concerns, and the chip shortage. Recently, however, Ford has been making the news for several reasons that are actually quite positive, not only for them but also […]
Is GM Going to Hit its EV Goals?
GM has a problem: on the one hand, they’ve been very outspoken about their goals for pushing new EV models out and stated, repeatedly, how committed they are to an all-electric future. On the other hand, however, their actions have been deplorable at coming through with model announcements and releases that push them toward hitting […]
Mazda Brings Back the Rotary Engine
If you’re a big fan of somewhat esoteric auto engine options, or you’re particularly into Mazda as a company, then you might’ve heard of a rotary engine before. For everyone else, however, the rotary engine is likely a bit of mechanical trivia you’ve never heard of – but it’s something that I think is worth […]
The 2022 Honda Civic Si: The Best Gets Even Better
When the all-new Honda Civic was revealed and shown off with impressive updates and features throughout, the question on the minds of a lot of people was simple, “When do we see the Civic Si?!” Fortunately, the wait wasn’t too long, and Honda recently unveiled the stunning 2022 Honda Civic Si. For lifelong fans of […]
Chevy Suburban Goes Heavy-Duty
The 2022 Chevy Suburban is the largest SUV in Chevy’s lineup. In fact, starting with last year’s model, it got even bigger and now boasts truly incredible amounts of space inside for passengers and cargo alike. And yet, that’s not good enough for some people, people like the Federal government–specifically the US Department of State. […]
GM Unveils New Ultra Cruise Tech
In the battle for full self-driving consumer cars, GM has fired another shot across the bows of every other American car manufacturer with their newly revealed Ultra Cruise system. Not to be confused with their Super Cruise technology – though it does build upon it – Ultra Cruise offers an advanced level of hands-free driving […]
Did You Buy One of the Worst Cars of the Year? Let’s Find Out!
