Anyone who has spent enough time around true gearheads knows that the automotive world has its fair share of jargon. From “hooning” around with friends to giving your ride a “dab of oppo,” modding the “end can” on your “tuner” to firing up the “four-banger” or switching out the” slushbox” on your “sleeper,” these slang […]

From Fires to New Frontiers to Final Calls: Highlights From 2022
The automotive industry sees its fair share of ups and downs every year, but 2022 proved one for the record books in many ways.

Optimizing the Automobile with Grace, Space, and Pace
They’ve been around since 1935. They functionally owned Le Mans for nearly a decade and crafted what is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cars of all time before slipping into obscurity due to ineffective state-sponsored management. Their return to private independence in the early 1980s is a glowing capitalist success story, with […]

Chip Shortage Continues to Challenge GM
As you might already be aware, there’s a semiconductor microchip shortage (often simply called the “chip shortage”) going on right now. So far, this has had a pretty significant impact on the auto industry – and every other industry that manufacturers computerized products. While I’d love to be the bearer of good news, the reality […]
The Bronco is Back and Why You Should Be Excited
At the time of writing, there has actually been very little released about the upcoming 2021 Ford Bronco. We know that the world premiere of the bucking Bronco is coming in spring 2020, according to the Ford website, but we’re not really sure when exactly in the springtime that will be. However, with a lot […]
James Bond Just Designed A Car Based On James Bond
Outside of a few questionable vehicle choices in Pierce Brosnan flicks, James Bond has always and will always drive an Aston Martin (why on earth the producers decided to put Brosnan’s 007 into a German-built BMW is more than just a head-scratcher). Aston Martin and the British secret agent go together like cookies and milk. […]
The 2020 Corvette Crosses Flags and Boundaries

Motor Trend magazine has featured concept designs of a mid-engine Corvette since 1969. As of July 18th, 2019, official news finally arrived for the mid-engine 2020 Chevy Corvette.

The Perfect Toyotas for Summer 2019

This means camping trips, beach outings, picnics, and convertible tops all the way down. And with beautiful summer weather on the horizon, now is the perfect time to visit your local Toyota dealership to make sure you […]
Why the NEW KIA Telluride Steals the Spotlight
Considering the amount of time that we spend around here, sifting thanklessly through the latest and greatest in automotive news headlines, it would be dishonest if we acted like it wasn’t sort of a ‘mixed bag’. Walk through our offices, take a poll, establishing each employee’s automotive preferences and you’ll find little overlap. Collectively, we […]
C’mon ’21’! Waiting (Not-so-Patiently) for the TRX
When it comes to keeping an eye on current auto news, we all have our favorite headlines we look for and follow as they progress. For me, it’s no real surprise that my attention has stayed true to my MOPAR roots in 2018, focused primarily on Dodge’s intoxicating Hellcat, ground-shaking Redeye and (of course) RAM’s […]
Revisiting the 2018 Paris Motor Show
Even over a month later, a search through current auto news headlines will inevitably return us to last month’s Paris Motor Show. Held biennially, the show dates back to 1898, serving as the pioneering showcase for the ever-evolving automotive market, and one of the largest shows to this day. Visited more frequently than such showcase […]
Welcome to the Future: The Emergence of BioMetrics in our Vehicles
If you’re one to keep up on current auto news, especially regarding the incorporation of advanced technologies, you’ve probably taken note of the emergence of biometric technologies with plans to incorporate such technologies to improve security and create a personalized experience. The former stands as a near perfect example of Plato’s contention that ‘necessity is […]
Current Auto News – Automotive State of the Union
Keeping up with the onslaught of current auto news headlines can be daunting, especially when you consider that 2018 seems to be simultaneously straddling two conflicting paths. Of course, the industry is fulfilling the longstanding prediction of an inevitable decline in sales, and yet, it’s hard to argue the point that it also stands on […]
GM Defense Division Gains Traction
To the general population, General Motors is little more than an umbrella name under which some of the most recognizable domestic brands were formed, and gain continual momentum. But once we step outside the normalcy of encountering Chevy, GM, Buick, and Cadillac on our daily commutes (or finding ourselves behind the wheel of them), it’s […]
Roads? Where We’re Going, We Don’t Need…”Roads”
Since long before the schematics of Leonardo Da Vinci, mankind has dreamt of flight. While seemingly absent from the evolutionary destinies of our bodies, we (as a species) have conspired to soar through the sky, trusting technology to offset concerns that we’d follow the fate of Icarus. The result, of course, is the overwhelming success […]

The New Face of Road Rage?
A co-worker of mine often references a phenomenon known as the ‘uncanny valley’. This theory speaks to humanity’s comfort level (or lack thereof) with anything that assumes human form or function. It states that humanoid objects which appear almost, but not exactly, like real human beings elicit feelings of eeriness and/or revulsion. Basically, as […]
