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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
As someone who writes professionally about the auto industry, I have different kinds of days. On a good day, I get to write about a vehicle I’m vaguely interested in; on a great day, I get to write about a car that I’m really passionate about; and on a fantastic day, I get to write […]
The auto industry is a weird place. On the one hand, you have numerous models that come out year after year, looking mostly similar and with a clear design that eschews anything resembling a risk or divergent concept. Then, on the other hand, you have the occasional oddball, the strange and unusual that you never […]
So you’ve worked hard all your life; you’ve got a good job, you raised your kids well, and now they’re off to college, working their own jobs, or simply figuring out their lives. All of this means you suddenly find yourself with a lot more time, space, and money to play with – you’ve done […]
The auto industry is primarily a zero-sum game: there are a limited number of customers and each one usually only buys one (or two) vehicles at a time. In other words: a customer that buys a Ford truck hasn’t bought a Chevy truck – someone who chose a Chevy didn’t buy a Pontiac. What am […]
For years, Subaru has been a leader in the rally and rallycross scenes, thanks in large part not only to its fantastic vehicles but also to the lineup of amazing talent that Subaru Rally Team USA has been able to attract. These are some of the best rally drivers in the world, racking up countless […]
