The two firms will start producing cars at a joint assembly plant in Taizhou, in the eastern Zhejiang province. What does this have to do with Volvo’s U.S. market and consumers? Well, it’s rumored that some of these jointly-produced vehicles will be […]
Clown cars bring a hilarious image to mind. Goofy — but mainly creepy — groups of clowns driving in a vehicle that’s way too small for all of them. Even if you don’t see it driving on the road, you automatically imagine the way that car is driven: erratic, with sharp turns, hard stops, and […]
I remember the very first time I played the Would You Rather? game vividly. It was at summer camp in central Wisconsin, around a campfire on the shores of Amy Belle Lake. The night was quiet, but the sky was filled with teenage hormones, body odor, and a whole lot of inexperience. Faced with scenarios […]
Unless you have been living under a rock, or you don’t yet possess a smartphone (which would also make you qualify for the under-the-rock residence) then you have heard of Uber. The upstart that was responsible for the drastic decrease in DUI convictions, as well as the demise of the taxicab industry, Uber has essentially […]
Maserati has been stepping up its game lately, especially in the SUV realm. With SUVs and trucks becoming more and more popular, thanks to gas prices stabilizing, people in the luxury world will be looking to get in on the action as well. Hence why Maserati’s Levante was recently released, and why everyone who has test-driven […]
Rappers and luxury cars go hand-in-hand — like peanut butter and chocolate, or bacon and eggs. It’s a rare occurrence to see a rapper not driving around in a McLaren P1, or more commonly, a Lamborghini. Therefore, when a rapper like Dee-1 decides to tell USA Today that he doesn’t drive an expensive luxury car […]
You know how there’s a lot of dispute about the best time to change your oil? Well, the 3-month/3,000-mile rule was the rule of thumb way back when for good reason and, although it continues to have merit, the prevailing automotive advice has shifted a bit. Is your oil going to be last for up to 5,000 miles? […]
Oh, baby! A Grand Cherokee SRT Trackhawk — powered by a Hellcat engine — is on the horizon! That’s some exciting stuff. But, we still have a little bit of a wait. Therefore, details are few and far between. What we do know so far includes a few details about the engine and a few changes […]
Look, if you don’t want to trade-in your old vehicle at the dealership and put the value towards a new car, then at least put in the time and effort to sell it properly online. I can’t tell you how many disingenuous ads I’ve seen on Craigslist written by people trying to sell their cars […]
When shopping for used cars, there are many things that you want to look out for, lest you end up getting screwed over by the dealership. While that doesn’t always happen, it’s sadly still a reality that you need to worry about. One thing that you might notice are the various labels that vehicles are given on […]
For all those still playing devil’s advocate against shopping at new car dealerships — it’s time to stop. Are there still unscrupulous dealerships out there? Yes, yes there are. But in 2016, it’s exceedingly hard for dealerships and automakers to get away with shady business dealings. Don’t believe me? I think the recently resolved VW […]
If you have bad credit, getting a car will be much harder than a consumer with average or good credit. But, don’t despair; you have a few options. A buy here, pay here dealership is a great choice, but might make you uncomfortable because of how different of a car buying experience it is. If […]
A 1,000 horsepower Hyundai Santa Fe — WTF, man? Even if it’s just a concept car produced by Bisimoto teaming up with Hyundai, it’s still insane to think about. 1,000 horsepower on a car that small? That thing must scream down the road. While there aren’t any official 0-to-60 mph times right now, I wouldn’t […]
