I’ll admit that the Honda Accord isn’t exactly the sexiest vehicle out there; it lacks the youthful appeal of something like the Ford Mustang or the rugged lore of the Jeep Wrangler. That being said, what it lacks in, shall we say, sensual appeal, it makes up for by being a reliable sedan that’s had […]
Sometimes you look at a vehicle and its trim levels, and things make sense; typically, there are only a few options, and the differences between them are readily apparent. Other times, however, you look at a huge number of trims, and the longer you look, the less sense it all makes, particularly when the names […]
Jeep vehicles are known for many things, such as offering unparalleled off-road performance, delivering style and engineering that’s truly unique, and creating fantastic opportunities for customization. While you can technically modify any vehicle out there with a wide range of aftermarket options, few brands provide as many Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts as Jeep and […]
Despite having a legion of devoted fans, Tesla is making a series of moves that feel increasingly risky and are, as far as I’m concerned, going to lead to disaster. I don’t necessarily mean this for the company itself––though that’s a possibility––but more in terms of its vehicles and the products we find around us […]
Full disclosure: I don’t own a Nissan. In fact, I’ve never owned a Nissan. Yet I’m impressed year after year with just how safe its vehicles are. Rather than take the time to contemplate what that says about me, I’m going to spend my time considering how it is that Nissan stays on top as […]
If you’ve tried buying a used car recently, you know how crazy the demand is for good pre-owned vehicles. With the ongoing supply-chain issues (including the microchip shortage that’s still going strong), dealerships have struggled for the last year or so to keep up with customer demand. This has led to auto manufacturers instituting a […]
Where sedans were once the kings of the road here in the United States, looking around these days, you’d assume that SUVs and trucks are all people care about. They certainly make up the majority of what American car companies are producing. Plus, with brands like Ford completely eliminating their sedans, it can feel like […]
The auto industry can be a curious thing––many manufacturers are nervous about making big changes or trying out new ideas that might result in financial losses. But, once a company does try something innovative or interesting that proves to be a success or has potential interest from customers, then they’re quick to start playing catch-up […]
The subcompact crossover SUV market is popular and has lots of options in it; you might even go so far as to call it overcrowded in terms of just how many models you can choose from. When a new vehicle gets dropped into this big pool, it’s easy for it to make a minor ripple […]
There’s certainly no shortage of car companies out there, with new startups coming to the forefront all the time. Still, there’s something to be said for a tried and true brand that has been around nearly as long as the auto industry itself, producing countless models that have filled a car lot near you over […]
The phrase “the end of an era” gets thrown around a lot in marketing and advertising because it sounds good and elicits a strong emotional response. Sometimes, however, it’s accurate and is the best way to describe the discontinuation of a product––this is one of those times. Dodge has announced that the 2023 model year […]
Here’s a sentence I never expected to type: the Chevy Blazer is set to give the Ford Mustang a serious run for its money. Of course, the context here is important—I’m not talking about your standard Blazer or the prototypical pony car. I’m referring to the Ford Mustang Mach-E vs Blazer EV, specifically the upcoming […]
If you’re like me and your various internet algorithms know you read about cars a lot, then you’ve probably seen news stories about a “surge” in car repossessions. Most of them like to say that car repossessions are “surging” or “exploding” to convince us that the world is falling apart, but I’m not convinced things […]
If you’ve been shopping for a car lately, then I don’t need to tell you that cars are expensive right now. Even if you haven’t been shopping for one recently, you’ve probably seen plenty of headlines already that talk about it. In general, everything costs more right now than it did a year ago due […]
That’s a good question, and there’s a pretty simple answer: people like it, buy it, and enjoy what it has to offer compared to other trucks. Just like any business, the answer to 99% of questions in the auto industry will typically come down to “because it sells.” If people weren’t still interested in this […]
Ordering a vehicle is… not great right now. The new car market, in general, has been a hot mess for more than a year-and-a-half at this point, and while ordering a vehicle can be a good option in some cases, there are also lots of drawbacks to it. Anyone looking to get a vehicle with […]
For decades now, science-fiction movies and TV shows have been predicting impressive technological innovations like self-driving cars (as well as flying cars and vehicles powered by nuclear fusion). With each passing day, we’re getting closer to cars that can drive themselves and require little-to-no input or attention from the driver; the flying cars are a […]
If it seems like you’ve been reading about the microchip shortage for a long time, that’s because you have been – we’re nearing the second year of this technological crisis, and there’s no end in sight (well, there is, but it’s still a ways off). The shortage of microchips has had numerous causes and has […]
For the past decade, Nissan has been a force to be reckoned with here in Canada, with fantastic sales numbers and an incredibly popular lineup––but that has not always been the case. Over the years since it first appeared from overseas, Nissan has had its share of ups and downs here that have included some […]
If you’re someone who keeps even a little bit of an eye on the auto industry, then you’ve certainly noticed by now that pretty much every car company out there is committed to a single goal: going all-electric in the not-so-distant future. The legendary British auto manufacturer Bentley, well known for crafting some of the […]
