With customers increasingly choosing SUVs and trucks over sedans, some automakers have cut sedans out of their lineups. Ford, for example, is down to just one passenger car that isn’t a Mustang. And Ford isn’t the only US automaker paring down its sedan offerings. GM hasn’t always been the best brand shepard; not even Chevy …

Ford’s been rolling out updates to much of its lineup. Even as the Mustang GT500 was winning over reviewers, a new Mustang was being leaked. There’s also the new Mustang Mach E electric crossover, a new Escape and Edge, and the upcoming ‘baby Bronco’, aka ‘Maverick.’ Even the GT supercar got a recent update. But …

General Motors makes decisions in a time/space netherworld we mortals know nothing about. While we look upon many of its historic brands with reverence, it looks to them as only names bonked onto an ever devolving line of subcompact mushmobiles. What once stood for performance, style, engineering excellence, or desirable transportation in its simplest form, …

Nissan’s current situation is more tragic when you remember some of its past vehicles. The Z sports car and Patrol SUV are icons in their own right. But when you think of JDM performance, there’s another car that springs to mind: the Nissan Skyline GTR. It’s perhaps the quintessential ‘forbidden fruit’, and its place in …

Lakers great Kobe Bryant was an NBA superstar. He was also known as a generous person. His young wife Vanessa turned 19 in 2001 and Kobe wanted her to have something special for the occasion. Probably one of the most outrageous, ostentatious cars at that time (or any other time for that matter) was the …

There’s a running joke that the US never gets the cool stuff. Overseas, consumers got rides like the Nissan Skyline GT-R, Toyota Mega Cruiser, Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution, and the last of the Celica GT4s. But before US customers can enjoy old-school Japanese vans or Hiluxes, they have to wait 25 years. And these waiting periods …

The Hyundai Sonata is one of the few sedans still left on the market. Can this car compete with the likes of the Honda Civic or Toyota Camry?

Jay Leno is no stranger to odd or obscure cars. And while he’s well-known for his classic car appreciation, as demonstrated by his restored Bronco, he’s also a big fan of EVs. He’s owned a Tesla for several years and had several positive things to say about the Mustang Mach-E. That being said, sometimes he …

Despite the popularity of off-road SUVs like the Wrangler, muscle cars still loom large. Perhaps the best example is the Dodge Challenger, unchanged in 13 years. But its sales have grown with the help of high-powered models like the Hellcat and Demon, and it’s also earned above-average reliability scores from Consumer Reports. In contrast, the …

When it comes to things such as depreciation and long-term reliability, luxury car owners typically don’t care too much for them. If they wanted a car that could last them 300,000 miles, then they probably wouldn’t be buying a luxury car in the first place. That said, luxury car owners do hold onto a few …

Porsche’s current reputation has much to do with the iconic 911. It’s evolved from a simple sports car into something that can out-accelerate and out-handle some supercars. And classic 911s aren’t some delicate garage display, either. Singer restores them into over-engineered works of art, for one. And for another, it was the 911’s presence in …

Sometimes, automakers use legal loopholes to skirt emissions and crash-test standards. Other times, it’s those very standards that keep some very sweet wheels out of our hands. This means, usually if you want a non-US-spec vehicle like a Nissan Patrol, Toyota Century, or Toyota Celica GT4, you have to wait 25 years. However, there are …

Rallying has created some very cool vehicles. Mitsubishi, Nissan, Mercedes, Fiat, and Lada, have all duked it out in Paris-Dakar. Porsche took its famous 911 sports car rallying and inspired a massive trend. Through the World Rally Championship, Lancia arguably helped create the modern car. And your AWD SUV wouldn’t exist without the Audi Ur-Quattro. …

The Nissan Sentra is a great option if you need a solid little car for a reasonable price. However, there are a few common problems to be wary of.

Horsepower is actually pretty cheap these days. You can walk into a Dodge dealer and get a sedan with 707 hp. Soon, the engine that makes that crazy amount of power will be in an off-road pickup truck. Ford can crank 332 hp out of a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder–not to mention the 800-hp Dragon Snake …

Considering that sedans are swiftly being phased out to make room for trucks and SUVs, it’s not surprising that the automakers who aren’t scrapping their car division are getting more notice. Since Toyota and Honda are the two biggest automakers who are hanging in there, it only makes sense that consumers wonder who makes the …

Cars usually get one or two useful features for each new model year. It could be anything from new safety features, engines or transmissions, and even standard smartphone integration. Plenty of cars also got complete redesigns for the 2020 model year like the Ford Explorer and Toyota Supra. With new engines come different fuel economy …

When Motor Biscuit last visited the potential return of the DeLorean “DMC 12” gullwing coupe, it was ready to start manufacturing a low-volume car with modern upgrades. That was in 2017. Then crickets. We thought, “Such is the end of most automotive endeavors.” We were wrong. The DeLorean is actually going back into production again. …

In discussing possible ways Nissan could save itself, we briefly touched upon what made Nissan’s past products desirable: performance. Nissan has made some incredible high-performance vehicles, ranging from JDM forbidden-fruit to rally-conquering SUVs. But what set Nissan, and indeed, most Japanese carmakers, from brands like Porsche or Ferrari was how attainable their sporty vehicles were. …

Understatement of the year, but Nissan’s not feeling so hot right now. Beyond the scandals surrounding the former CEO, the automaker’s sales have slumped, and popular models like the Frontier, Pathfinder, and Armada struggle to stay competitive. Even the Titan full-size pickup truck is having a tough time. Nissan’s newest CEO, Makoto Uchida, recently came …
