A new model year will often hit the scene for a vehicle, and you’d have to go out of your way to notice much of a difference in it. Unless someone tells you that one model is a different year from another, most of the time you’d never even know. Anyone looking for a Kia […]

Meet Honda’s Global HR-V: The ZR-V
Nowadays, the cars that we drive are made all over the globe, so it’s kind of weird to think that there are models out there that we’ve never heard of before here in the United States. In fact, there are many models that we don’t have access to in North America, and one of them […]

Everyone Loves Tacos: The Appeal of Toyota’s Iconic Tacoma
Years ago, I ventured off the pavement in my stock Wrangler with a group of seasoned off-roaders. They were patient trail leaders, choosing routes mild enough for my Jeep but just challenging enough to show off the real stars of the convoy: their Toyota Tacomas. Each one was kitted out like a rolling REI catalog—knobby […]
Drive Like a Double-Oh with Aston Martin James Bond Special Edition Vehicles
Who among us has watched a James Bond film and not immediately wanted one of each of the sophisticated spy’s svelte motorcars? James Bond is undoubtedly one of the coolest fictional characters invented, so it stands to reason that he doesn’t drive just any old car. While Bond has slid behind the steering wheel of […]
Go Rugged Affordably By Buying a Pre-Owned Midsize Truck
Everything is expensive these days, but that doesn’t mean you should have to spend your life savings on a new vehicle.

What Measurements Should Car Manufacturers Give Us?
Automakers include a lot of measurements when they’re telling you about a vehicle. From horsepower and trunk volume to headroom, ground clearance, and infotainment screen sizes, there are many dimensions that they think car buyers should know. To be fair, much of the information they provide is useful. I certainly appreciate knowing the EPA-estimated fuel […]
Towing and Hauling Made Easy With the Equinox
Folks who like to carry a lot of gear with them while they travel are typically drawn to larger SUVs and trucks. The small guys aren’t really taken seriously, especially when it comes to loading up with gear and heading to the campsite or for a weekend on the road. Of course, you’re probably not […]
Is BMW Becoming a Luxury SUV Company?
Everyone knows that BMW is a major player in the luxury car game.

Satisfying Shift or Supercar Sacrilege: Could the C9 Corvette Be Electrified?
In 1953, General Motors saw its sales in a bit of a decline.

Can Luxury Brands Build Successful Trucks?

Driving in (Dis)comfort: The Best and Worst Car Ergonomic Choices
Being comfortable behind the wheel of a car can compensate for mediocre or even subpar performance in other areas. Likewise, the best engine, suspension, and tech may not be enough if the seat feels like a concrete bench or the controls feel impossible to use. As such, automakers constantly experiment with vehicle ergonomics to provide […]
How Does the Ford Escape Compete Against Its Compact SUV Rivals?
The first crossover compact SUV–the AMC Eagle–rolled off the assembly line in 1980. Since then, nearly every carmaker has designed its own crossover model or models.

Are Tariffs Bringing Manufacturing Back to the US?
The simple answer to that question is maybe. So far, there have been a lot of reactions to the tariff situation by a whole lot of people, including the heads at numerous car companies.
