When buying a new car, reliability remains one of the biggest deciding factors.

The Nissan Altima Refuses to Die

We thought the writing was on the wall for the Nissan Altima. Mid-size sedans don’t sell like they used to, and most automakers have stopped building them entirely. But believe it or not, the Altima is sticking around for at least one more model year—albeit with a few tweaks to…

What Happened to Jaguar?

Jaguar is an iconic brand known for its beautiful sports cars and elegant yet understated sedans. The E-Type became an icon, while the F-Type stood out as one of the loudest, tail-happiest, and best-looking sports cars on the market. And let’s not forget that in 2018, Jaguar even offered a…

Which Stellantis Brands Should Stay—And Which Ones Should Go?

Stellantis has 14 automotive brands. That’s a lot, but it’s not all that unusual for a massive auto conglomerate. The problem is that for every Peugeot and Jeep—two of its most successful brands—there’s also an Abarth, a Lancia, or a Vauxhall. Although Stellantis does have several popular namesakes, other brands…

Dead: Maserati's Four-Cylinder Engine

The Maserati Grecale might be one of the brand’s freshest vehicles, but the Italian automaker is already making a few powertrain tweaks for 2026. The crossover will drop the base four-cylinder engine from the lineup and increase the model’s starting price, but it’s not all bad news.

Thanks, Tariffs: Two Luxury Automakers Just Announced Price Hikes for 2026

Porsche's Electric Sports Car Platform Could Support Gas Engines After All

In 2022, Porsche announced plans to launch fully electric replacements for the Boxster and Cayman later this decade.

Mercedes Will Use Screws to Make Headlights Repairable

There’s a growing trend among European automakers to reduce waste and protect our fragile environment.

This Unassuming Volkswagen Beetle Packs 600 Horsepower. Here's How It Happened

At first glance, this Marathon Blue Volkswagen Beetle 1303 looks pretty normal. But when you take a closer look, you can tell it's something special. Without a hint of engine noise, the rear wheels spin up, tire smoke billows, and tiny bits of rubber spray across the asphalt. It's a…

Ferdinand Alexander Porsche is a legend in Zuffenhausen. Best known as the father of the 911, he also brought icons like the 904 Carrera GTS and the 804 Formula 1 car to life. Yesterday, he would have turned 90—and to mark the occasion, Porsche unveiled a very special tribute.

The EU Nears Decision Allowing Combustion Engines Beyond 2040

If there’s one word that immediately springs to mind in the context of the European Union, it’s definitely “regulation.” Automakers are continually constrained by increasingly stringent guidelines they must meet to sell their cars. Ever-tighter fleet emissions targets are burdening manufacturers, forcing them to prioritize EVs, which have notoriously low…

Caterham's Electric Sports Car Is Still Very Much Alive

Remember the Caterham Project V? First revealed in 2023, it was the boutique British sports car maker’s vision for a lightweight electric performance car.

Ohio Rejected 891 Vanity Plates This Year. Some of Them Are Hilarious

The heavy hand of government censorship is at it again. This year, Ohio officials silenced hundreds of car owners looking to make a statement with custom license plates. The state's Bureau of Motor Vehicles has denied 891 vanity plate requests so far this year, and some of them are pretty…

Toyota Wants GR To Be a Standalone Brand. That's a Mistake

Remember when Dodge launched the third-generation Viper exclusively under the SRT name?

When the Honda Prelude began arriving at dealerships late last month, social media feeds were flooded with window stickers showing wild markups.

Porsche Admits Chinese Automakers Are Innovating at 'Breathtaking' Pace

To say Porsche is struggling in China would be an understatement. Sales fell 28 percent to 56,887 cars in 2024.
