Toyota’s recent announcement of a $383 million investment in American production operations is the latest in a series of major commitments made by the world’s largest automaker to the US manufacturing sector. It is not clear as of the time of writing whether this, and other multi-million-dollar investments by Toyota, are in addition to the […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Hello friends, it seems like just last month I was writing about how there are some clear issues with the batteries in the Chevy Bolt EV. Oh, wait – that was last month! Now I’m not a mystic or some other kind of prescient wizard; no, I just pay attention to what’s going on and […]
Now that we’re more than halfway through 2021, we’ve seen most of the vehicles that are going to come out this year, though there are quite a few stragglers still working their way to market. As autumn approaches, I find myself wondering, “What will 2022 bring?” as I start looking ahead to the 2023 models […]
For years now, the Bolt EV has been Chevy’s flagship electric model. This year, the Bolt lineup is getting expanded with the addition of the crossover 2022 Bolt EUV on top of a redesigned 2022 Bolt EV. And yet, this all-new model hasn’t been the major Chevy Bolt story dominating headlines the last couple of […]
This is an interesting time for the auto industry, and I say that with both positive and negative connotations fully intended. Ford, in particular, had a rough month with some ups and a lot of downs in May, with plenty to be proud of and some things that weren’t great for the company. With so […]
In a 12-month period of time that has had just about every imaginable issue come up for the world, and the auto industry, the one that people were perhaps least prepared for is the ongoing computer chip shortage. Although this has hit the entire auto industry, today, I’m going to take a look, primarily just […]
There’s really never been a better time than now to be a fan of electric vehicles and everything they have to offer. Not only are current brands and models getting better with each passing year, but new models are being announced, and more manufacturers are getting into the game. Whether you’ve been driving an EV […]
It would be reductive to say that 2020 was a rough year for a lot of people because obviously, it was. While most of us were far more worried about our own survival than that of something like the auto industry, it’s important that major industries survive serious crises because that industry, faceless as it […]
Here we are having just finished playing Pomp and Circumstance for the graduating class of 2020, and we are almost ready to introduce the Class of 2021. No, I’m not talking about high school and college students, but instead the new SUVs that will be hitting your local dealerships sooner than you think. Each year, […]
With so much of the current auto news dominated by pandemic-related change and how the industry is evolving to accommodate these changes, it seems like a good opportunity to talk about something else entirely. Like cars, for instance. So let’s take a look at some of the exciting cars that are coming out in the […]
One of my favorite things to do is to write reports on current auto news, and I wouldn’t be surprised if most of you enjoyed reading such articles. It is great finding out the latest scoop on the directions that major automakers are taking with respect to some of our favorite cars. But right now, […]
The new Toyota GR Supra has been mired in controversy since its introduction last year. Everything from its BMW engine to its admittedly questionable styling choices has come under attack from automobile enthusiasts. And in early February, Toyota announced that for the 2021 model year, it would be making some major changes to the Supra. […]
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 […]
One of the biggest things in current auto news is the unveiling of the Tesla Cybertruck. The latest offering from the electric vehicle (EV) world of Elon Musk, the Cybertruck, looks more like something out of a Mad Max movie than anyone’s idea of a pickup truck. Nevertheless, an increasing number of automakers have been […]
