Some automotive badges have become short-hand for high performance. BMW’s M, Mercedes’ AMG, and Nissan’s GT-R. There’s also Honda’s Type R. In addition to sports cars like the S2000, in the 90s and early 2000s Honda offered stripped-down, souped-up versions of cars like the Civic and NSX supercar. Unfortunately, the US didn’t receive a Civic …

BMW recently admitted that this year would be the end of the production of their flagship plug-in supercar, the I8. While we are sad to see it go, we are interested in seeing how having the end in sight will affect the car’s value,. More importantly, we want to see if it will become something …

Owning a supercar has probably crossed everyone’s mind at least once in their lives. Whether it’s the exotic look, the extreme amounts of horsepower, or the prestigious feeling that comes with driving a car that costs over $100,000, the thrill of being able to drive a supercar every day might typically seem like a pipe …

Ask an auto enthusiast what a good modern, small, lightweight, open-air, and affordable car would be, and they will probably tell you the Mazda MX-5 Miata. But that was not always the case. The Miata was introduced in 1989. Between then and now, there have been many other competitors. However, the Honda Del Sol was the only real competition. …

Although the Mazda Miata is often the go-to affordable sports car, there are other options. Most notably, the Subaru BRZ and its cross-town cousin, the Toyota 86. Taking its name from a beloved performance icon (and Initial D star), the 86 was Toyota’s sole sports car until the Supra returned. But despite the Supra’s speed, …

The Honda Del Sol was canceled in 1997. There would be no replacement for the 1998 model year. Then in 1999, Honda launched the S2000 for the 2000 model year. It was a larger and pricier, full convertible. The S2000 was received well, but it did not have the attraction for people looking for a little, sporty, …

Sedan selection from American automakers has shrunk. While Hyundai, Honda, and Toyota have all updated their lineups, Ford’s lone sedan will be gone by 2021, while Lincoln may stop selling sedans completely. Meanwhile, Cadillac and Chevrolet each offer 2 sedans. However, it’s the Dodge Charger, Dodge’s lone, ancient sedan, that’s seen the most success. The …

You might think that a compact, seven-passenger crossover that’s been around for the past decade would be a tried-and-true combination for reliability and practicality. With some manufacturers and models, like a Toyota RAV4 or Kia Sorento, you would be right, however, if you’re thinking of the Dodge Journey, you would be wrong. The Journey didn’t …

With the 2020 C8 Chevy Corvette being the first mid-engine ‘Vette, GM was obviously feeling the pressure to perform. Luckily, the new Corvette appears to be a hit, with solid reviews and orders for 2020 models closed due to demand. Unfortunately, with any major update—especially one like this—there’s always the risk of teething issues. And …

What do you drive when you have responsibilities, but you still want to turn heads? You’ll only need to spend a little time behind the wheel of this high-performance luxury sports coupe for the answer to become quite clear. The 2020 Lexus RC F is quite possibly the coolest Lexus ever made. 2020 LEXUS RC …

Just like minivans, wagons aren’t exactly the first type of car on everyone’s mind when it comes to shopping for a family car. With the growing allure of SUVs and the steady popularity of crossovers, it’s no wonder that cars like the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack sit in the shadows, hoping to be noticed. So let’s …

The car you pick for your daily commute doesn’t have to be a high-end, expensive luxury car just to be enjoyable. In fact, starting at a very modest price of $16,720 is the simple and practical Chevy Sonic. Practicality This year’s Sonic offers one drivetrain option across all of the available models: a 1.4L turbocharged …

Mention the name MG or Triumph, and people who remember the brands will more than likely think of sporty, small, convertible, British cars, or maybe even a motorcycle. That’s because both brands became popular in the United States shortly after World War II by providing fun, lightweight sports cars that were competitors to each other. One …

Truck and SUV sales haven’t completely killed off sedans, and that’s partially because lately, sedans have been getting more stylish. The latest Hyundai Elantra and Sonata, for instance, have all manner of creases, folds, and edges. However, just like Mercedes didn’t call its minivan as such, some automakers don’t call their sedans by that name. …

When it comes to hybrid cars, the Toyota Prius has reigned supreme for the past couple of decades. In fact, when most consumers think of a hybrid car, the Toyota Prius is most likely the first, and probably only, car that comes to mind. Until 2019, when the Honda Insight came back into the market …

With retro styling that looked more fitting for a cartoon than an actual production piece, the Plymouth Prowler proved to be better for “show” than “go.” It was produced during the late 90s, a time when boxy and otherwise bland cars roamed the streets. And while the Prowler stood out, it was discontinued after only …

 The idea of flying cars has caught the fascination of drivers, pilots, and science fiction fans for decades. But, are they an impossibility? Or, do they exist?  Remember the Jetson’s flying car in the introduction of the cartoon, The Jetsons? That flying car could transport the whole family and fold into a briefcase when not …

Over the past couple of weeks, the workforce around the country has been hit hard with the impending threat of the coronavirus. Whether people are infected or not, thousands of workers have been forced to work from home and companies have even downsized during this tempestuous time. It’s a sad state of affairs, even for …

Although you don’t necessarily need a van for overlanding or on-the-road living, some of them are quite capable both on- and off-pavement. From Japan, there’s the Mitsubishi Delica, for one. But arguably the progenitor of the #vanlife movement is the VW Vanagon, and its predecessor, the VW Bus (‘Microbus’). However, back in the 60s, the …

If ever there was a good time to look at the perfect social distancing vehicle, it’s now. Not trying to make light of a devastating situation impacting the world but we also recognize some things come at just the right time.  From a small family-run British automobile company comes quite possibly the perfect vehicle for …
