The Bronco Sport Sasquatch Does Its Big Brother Proud: Off-Road Review

There are two types of off-roading. The first is the kind marketers want you to think you’ll do; rock-crawling with recovery ropes, winches, and shovels. It’s done at dedicated off-roading parks by people who treat it as their main hobby. On a statistical level, though, it barely exists.

As an enthusiast, I'm always on the hunt. It's a sickness. Not one I'm terribly desperate to fix, mind you, but a sickness that's led to a garage full of half-broken race cars, a Trans-Am-style Camaro project, and a Honda XR500 that'd rather like to kill me.

It Begins: Used Car Prices Are Going Up

You probably remember the insanity that occurred in the automotive market during the COVID panic and supply chain shortage from a few years ago. As new car supplies dwindled, used car prices went through the roof. Once markets stabilized, those costs came down. For the last two and a half…

There's a Reason Nissan Sells So Many Rogues: Review

Last year, Nissan sold 245,724 Rogue SUVs. That's a lot. The Rogue finished ninth in total sales in the US and third in SUV sales behind the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. And there’s a reason Nissan sells so many Rogues: It's a damn-good compact SUV.

Kia Is Developing a More Powerful Gas Engine

By far, the biggest news to come from the 2025 Kia CEO Investor Day event was the announcement of a new electric pickup truck for North America. However, the Korean brand had another tidbit to share. It’s working on a new modular gas engine that will power ICE cars and…

Trump's Tariffs Could Force Stellantis to Sell Alfa Romeo and Maserati

Stellantis is already wounded. The conglomerate watched as sales and revenue nosedived through 2024, eventually leading to the abrupt resignation of its former CEO, Carlos Tavares.

The Mercedes-AMG E53 Wagon Is Coming To America

This car shouldn't exist in 2025 America. Wagons haven't been popular here since the 1970s, and as of early April, everything coming from Germany gets slapped with a 25-percent tariff. That might change before Mercedes gets this hot E-Class hybrid to the States, but bless the AMG crew for even…

Bentley's New Hybrids Have Less Power—But Still a Lot of It

In case an ultra-luxury sedan or a big two-door grand tourer with 771 horsepower is just too much car to handle, Bentley now offers Flying Spur and Continental GT buyers a second powertrain option.

A Lamborghini Three-Row? It Will Never Happen: 'It's Not a Lamborghini'
