Thanks to decades of engineering and design work from countless developers of technology, hybrid vehicles have come a long way from the slow crawl of the original hybrids on the highways. It hasn’t taken long for automakers to get to the point where virtually every manufacturer has at least one hybrid available within its lineup, […]
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 […]

It only took 24 hours for all 350 units of the limited production run to sell out. Just like that, the second generation of the Acura NSX came to an end.

“Athletic” is a word that is often applied to cars that at least try to look exciting and fun to drive.

Once the most popular model of vehicle, the four-door midsize sedan is not as ubiquitous as it once was on the roads of America. However, you can still see these sporty, luxurious models, and two of the finest are the 2021 Nissan Altima vs 2021 Subaru Legacy. While other automakers have moved away from sedans, […]
The used car market is intimidating. There are more than enough new cars, with a dizzying array of segments, trims, and options to peruse; multiply that by all of the years ever to try to comprehend how hard it can be to choose a used car. It’s fair to say that most of what you’ll […]
It’s no secret – the manual transmission is dying. Americans fell in love with the simplicity and convenience of the automatic the moment the first primitive slush boxes hit the market back in the 1940s. As automatics became more affordable, the reliable manual was slowly squeezed out of the market. Today, more and more manufacturers […]

This may come as a surprise to some of you, but brand new vehicles don’t always have to cost a fortune. While you might think that buying a vehicle filled with modern tech should be costly, that myth has been debunked thanks to value-friendly automobiles from household name manufacturers.

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 […]
Tucked away behind the local airport in Manchester, New Hampshire, the Wicked Performance Group building may appear unassuming on the outside. But inside the shop, you will find all sorts of cars and tools that you will never see at your average mechanic’s, including a large TIG welding machine taken from an old submarine that […]
When the original Tesla Roadster first hit the market back in 2008, it forever shattered the idea that electric vehicles are nothing more than boring cars for people who care more about the environment than the joy of driving. These days, high-performance EVs are growing in number, and even traditional sports car manufacturers are entering […]
