Back in 2008, Car and Driver looked for the best new car and used car options one could buy for under $25,000. What topped these enthusiast's lists? Not surprisingly, a Miata, an M3, A Corvette, and some others.
What are some of the most overhyped new cars on the market? The Acura TLX Type S seems to be topping the list, but why don't buyers like it? It just didn't live up to expectations set by Acura.
Everyone's gotta have a truck. It's inextricably linked to our identity as Americans for whatever reason. Unfortunately, it's kind of hard to get a truck, hell, any car right now. The chip shortage has kneecapped new car inventory and ruined production. Thankfully, I found out you can actually buy a 2021 Honda Ridgeline at sticker. There's your truck.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Walk into a Bosch plant and you'd be able to slap together a whole car using nothing but the dumpster out back. Put another way, the German parts manufacturer makes just about everything cars. I routinely find parts on my project car that are made by Bosch, and that car is old enough to vote. However, even the mighty Bosch has been felled by the chip shortage. Now, the brand says that production methods and supply chains are inadequate for the modern world.
The 2021 Nissan Z is the hot new sports car. JDM enthusiasts, no, enthusiasts as a whole, have been waiting for a new "Z" practically since the last one debuted in 2002. Now, it's here, and people can't get enough of it. The Z badge is a staple of the enthusiast car segment, and now the new one is here to satiate the Nissan fanbase. However, is the new Z resting on old Nissan laurels? Nissan may be hard up for cash, but will that financial strain translate to an all-too-familiar driving experience?
America is pushing for EVs. However, her citizens, some of them at least, aren't quite there yet. To be clear, I'm not talking about those in densely populated urban areas. No, I'm talking about the rest of America. In fact, I see a growing trend, not just in the industry, but those in my immediate circle who are ready to make the EV switch. They aren't worried about range anxiety or charging. They want to take advantage of tax incentives as well as do the right thing for the planet.
