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 […]
It was the middle of November when current auto news headlines found themselves crippled under the weight of Ford’s introduction of their all-electric ‘Mustang-inspired’ crossover SUV, the Mach-E. And while the buzz was real among the general consumer, the rest of us in the automotive sector could breathe a sigh of relief as it’s often […]
Out of all the trending auto news out there, the arrival of the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E might be the most significant, at least to Mustang enthusiasts. This is the ushering-in of a new type of vehicle, with a familiar and renowned badge attached to it. However, it’s also a look towards the future. Electric […]
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. […]
In current auto news, analysts say that BMW should buy Jaguar Land Rover from Tata Motors. BMW is rapidly expanding its lineup while Jaguar seems to be struggling to gain momentum, with the exception of its F-Type. This has not gone unnoticed by the analysts on Wall Street. Sanford C. Berenstein analysts say that BMW […]
Keeping up with current auto news isn’t always easy – just keeping up with general current events can be quite demanding these days. I know that at a certain point, for me, some of that news simply becomes white noise as information overload sets in and I have to spend some time watching videos of […]
Inverted pyramid be damned, we’re going to take a quick trip back in time before we hit you with the latest and most current auto news. Trust us, the context is worth it. Let’s go back to 2014 when the CARB (California Air Resources Board) started a study on the differences between the emissions, otherwise […]
If you’ve kept up at all with current auto news, then chances are you already know what to expect from this post. Slowly but surely, manufacturers are teasing what they have planned next for some of their upcoming vehicles. With 2020 models just around the corner, we already know that plenty of them are expected to […]
At the start of 2019 current auto news headlines were almost exclusively dedicated to one of three things: autonomy, electrification or… well… ’other’. Not to diminish every other new story reported upon – be it related to recalls, plant closures, industry shows or new model year offerings – but even a large percentage of those […]
When it comes to the topic of sustainability and alternative fuels, we’ve come a long way, especially in the last decade and a half. From the introduction of the mild hybrid powertrain to expansion into plug-in variants, fully-electrified offerings, and fuel cell innovation there’s no shortage of alternatives worth considering. But the current direction of […]
These days, current auto news bears no absence of hybrid and EV-centric headlines. As evidenced by the L.A. Auto Show, Consumer Electronics Show and NAIAS (as well, we expect, by the upcoming industry shows in both Chicago and Geneva) there are two major areas of focus for automotive R&D teams. The first, and slightly-less accessible, […]
There are six SUVs and crossovers in the 2019 lineup of Chevy vehicles, which means you could use them to build a small pyramid with 3 on the bottom, 2 in the middle, and 1 on top. Yes, that’s a weird way to think of the current lineup of Chevy SUVs, but why not? It […]
