While most see EV and hybrid vehicles as a welcome addition to the automotive landscape, this new breed has faced a bit of an uphill battle among certain subsets of the driving public. This sort of bias might have made sense during the infancy of the EV/hybrid segments, but—as the industry has grown, adapted, and […]
I remember well the rise of electric cars and hybrids in the early 2000s. While electric vehicles of some sort have been around for over a century (the first, created in 1889, was essentially an electrified wagon), quite a few manufacturers tried to make them more mainstream around the turn of the millennium. They promised […]
The Mustang is a performance car that’s been around for quite some time. While you can probably find plenty of examples at your local used Ford dealer, Ford is always working to keep this iconic model fresh with each new model year. The automaker sent shockwaves through the auto enthusiast community when the Mustang Mach […]
According to a recent statement from one major manufacturer, the global semiconductor shortage that’s hammered the auto industry in recent years looks to be letting up. It’s good news for automakers, many of which have been forced to slash production in response to the crisis. However, it could still take some time for the average […]
The 2023 Honda Accord is set to come out soon, a mid-size sedan that’s long been a star of the Honda lineup. With a spacious interior, large trunk, easy handling, and great fuel efficiency, there are a lot of reasons to love the Accord, and Honda just gave drivers another big one: Google Assistant. This […]
Do you ever suddenly think about some of the things that used to be the norm when you were a kid? Or maybe something was before your time that you always wanted to experience? From the disco era to the new millennium, there have been so many fads, especially when it comes to cars. In […]
Ford is an automaker with a long and storied history, stretching all the way back to 1903 and the very earliest days of the automotive industry. So while you may think you’re looking at a variety of different model years while browsing the F-150s at a used truck dealer, you’re really just scratching the surface. […]
Fuel efficiency, always an important metric when purchasing or leasing a car, has arguably become the number one consideration on the modern customer’s mind when walking into a dealership. Last spring’s sky-high gas prices will not be quickly forgotten; gas stations could barely change their signs fast enough as prices were hiked again and again. […]
While Tesla has established itself as a leader in electric vehicles, the auto industry as a whole has begun to embrace the electric vehicle in a way few would have predicted a decade or two ago. In the past, electric vehicles were seen as overly expensive novelties that were none too pleasant to look at […]
If you’re looking for a full hybrid or even a plug-in hybrid version of the powerful Ram 1500, you’re out of luck. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any hybrid Ram trucks for sale. In fact, you might not even realize just how many hybrid trucks Ram builds, given how it markets its eTorque system. […]
Back in the day, cars used to be simple mechanical devices designed for getting people or cargo from one place to another, but as technology has become an increasingly important part of our lives, they’ve become essentially computers with wheels. Just about every option on the market today, from commuter sedans to pickup trucks, comes […]
It’s almost impossible to look at the history of the Ford Motor Company and not be impressed with its strides in engineering and technology. From a completely linear perspective, it appears that they’ve always been ahead of the curve. From the Mustang to the Bronco and beyond, there appears to be nothing the blue brand […]
Back-to-school season can be a stressful time for parents and students alike. Gone are the lazy days of summer, replacing poolside lounging with lunch prep and long days under the sun with a full course load and soccer practice to boot. This transition can be difficult under the best of circumstances but is particularly tough […]
It seems odd to suggest that buying a used Tesla could get you into the future of the automotive industry. When you hear the word “used,” you immediately think of the past. However, buying a used Tesla is like going back to the future, discovering style, performance, and savings you have never imagined. Since Tesla […]
Jeeps are well known for their great off-roading features. Whenever anyone talks about visiting their local used Jeep dealer, it’s to pick out the best off-roading machines available on the market. We all talk about how well Jeeps are made to handle the demands of the off-road, but the sad truth is that for most […]
With the news that some higher trim levels of the 2023 Chevy Tahoe will include Chevrolet’s Super Cruise, it’s interesting to ponder where the automotive industry will go from here. We’ve talked about self-driving cars, even flying cars, but so far, the best we have is the cruise control option, which is now over one […]
You know you’re getting seriously deep into car culture, vicariously or not, when you start to recognize and talk about specific vehicles by their internal identification codes. Some of this jargon is intuitive––it doesn’t take long to figure out that the C8 Corvette is the 8th generation; the same goes for the Mk 8 Golf […]
The key to business today is developing an edge that sets you apart from your competitors. Often referred to as a competitive edge, this is especially the case with the increasingly crowded field of automakers. Each manufacturer is looking for something to set its vehicles apart, and that can be anything from pricing to luxury […]
