A new 2017 Volvo V60 makes a nice car for many reasons, but here are the three that really stand out the most. First, the V60 has the practicality of a station wagon, but without the lackluster looks. Personally, I like station wagons. I find them useful.

Hyundai Motor Group has decided to hire Lee Jin-Woo, a former General Motors researcher, to help oversee its fully autonomous (self-driving) vehicle center. Why a former GM researcher? Well, the fact that he was a former GM researcher is irrelevant to Hyundai. Instead, the brand is interested in the fact that he led the autonomous driving technology development at GM […]
No, this isn’t the same as dumpster diving. For one, it’s legal. Secondly, you probably won’t find anything new in a junkyard, like you could in a dumpster. What will you find? A seemingly endless source of inexpensive car parts and unusual finds. Yes, it might look intimidating. Yes, it might require you to wear some dirtier clothes […]
You might have heard that Hyundai has released an Amazon style “Click to Buy” service over in the UK. Simply put, you go online, buy a car, and have it delivered to your door.

Sure, the 2017 Jeep Patriot might saunter along unchanged for this upcoming year. But, it still deserves more credit than people are giving it.
