Are you like me in noticing that digital-only controls are everywhere in modern cars? You’re not alone. From touchscreens to digital gauge clusters, virtual controls seemed to have taken over vehicles by the early 2020s, with nearly 100% of cars using them. Certain automakers, like Tesla, are notorious for running nearly every function through the […]
What do a John Deere tractor, your crossover SUV, and the McDonald’s ice cream machine all have in common? Each one highlights a growing debate about who really controls the products you buy, and whether you’re even allowed to repair them when they break. We’ve all been there. You’re nearing the end of a long […]
The design language is one of the most important aspects of a vehicle’s identity, and sometimes of an entire automotive brand. In simple terms, design language is a concept that drives the overall look and feel of a car model. It can be seen in specific design aspects, such as the Jeep seven-slot grille and […]
It’s an electrifying time in the auto industry as new EVs and hybrids continue to make inroads amongst U.S. drivers. All-electric models hold plenty of promise for performance, and today’s hybrids are hard to beat for efficiency, but how does this evolving technology impact those who appreciate a more off-the-grid driving experience? Subaru drivers will […]
Honda is making a hard pivot to the hybrid segment as it plans for the coming decade. The world’s eighth-largest automaker caused a stir in early May when it officially debuted a pair of new, as-yet-unnamed hybrid models. Tentatively dubbed the Honda Hybrid Sedan Prototype and Acura Hybrid SUV Prototype, the new vehicles will be […]
General Motors made a significant change to its used vehicle strategy in June 2026 when it officially merged its long-running Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program into CarBravo. While the move may sound like a simple rebranding effort, it represents a broader shift in how GM dealers sell, certify, and support certified inventory. For shoppers, the change […]
Automakers and dealerships love to tout how much cargo space vehicles have, especially for SUVs, vans, and trucks. A large cargo area can certainly be useful. The space can be utilized to carry luggage on vacation, haul music equipment, go camping, help friends move, and more. At the same time, it’s important to be realistic […]
Every brand on the market continuously strives to get better. Whether it’s nutrition, engineering, construction, or otherwise, any industry is saturated with options, and you must be one of the best in order to survive.

As a relatively new market within the U.S. automotive segment, major and frequent EV shifts are commonplace. That remains the case midway through 2026, as a sharp decline in EV sales (some are even calling it a collapse) has led to questions about which automakers are best positioned for an uncertain path ahead. I’ve written […]
If you think car technology has gotten out of control, you’re not alone.

There are few vehicles that feel as American as a pickup truck. From the first pickup in 1925, Ford’s Model T Roadster, to modern favorites like the F-Series and Ram 1500, America is obsessed with truck utility and attitude. According to Car and Driver, of the nine best-selling U.S. vehicles in 2025, five of them […]
Despite being one of Hollywood’s most recognizable models, the Nissan Skyline has never actually been sold in North America. This might come as a surprise to those who grew up watching The Fast and the Furious or logging some time on video games like Forza or Gran Turismo, but every Skyline that’s ever left a […]
What’s in a name? This Shakespearean query is as relevant today as it was back in the late 16th century, especially if you’re trying to be a savvy consumer. With major brands spending millions on flashy ad campaigns aimed at prying open your wallet by any means necessary, buyers need to have their head on […]
Pickup trucks and off-roading are closely linked. Many brands offer off-road-ready trims and variants designed for excursions and adventures. However, many of these models come with a larger-than-average price tag. The Chevy Silverado ZR2, the GMC Sierra AT4X, and the various Ram editions are all on the pricier side, but a Ford F-150 for sale […]

Tech features are among the most popular features today, as they can enhance many aspects of your daily drive. In particular, the infotainment systems in today’s cars can make your life a lot easier. However, there’s more to these […]
Walk into any used car dealership, and you usually hear the same soundtrack: sales pitches, odometer debates, and that tiny voice in your head whispering, “What if this thing starts making haunted dishwasher noises next week?” Now, imagine approaching this situation with your significant other, who just so happens to be a highly skilled mechanic. […]
For a certain type of automotive purist, there’s just no substitute for the hearty roar of a beefy V8, or even the high-pitched whistle of a turbocharger as it spools up to provide a V6 or I-4 engine with an extra boost of power. That creates a bit of an issue in the EV segment. […]
Jeep’s been in a bit of trouble, facing a decline in U.S. sales for six consecutive years. Many dealers are still backlogged with 2024 Jeep models they couldn’t move, making it hard to make space for newer models, like a 2026 Jeep Cherokee for sale now. When drivers see brand-new two-year-old models on a lot, […]
Over the last ten years or so, it’s been hard to find a car manufacturer that hasn’t been focusing on making more electric vehicles. It’s almost felt as if someone announced an unofficial race to see which car brand could go fully electric first, and every major player, including Honda, lined up to run. Between […]
This year marks a slightly sorrowful one for the electric vehicle world because Tesla has announced it will be discontinuing the Model S. Today, you’re probably so used to seeing the Model S cruising around whichever town or city you’re in that you barely notice it. Now, it’s a slice of automotive history that just […]
