There’s a part of us that will never ‘not be surprised’ when KIA shows up to the party with a brand new offering that either manages to pique our curiosity or grab our attention outright. After all, it seems like just yesterday when their upstart lineup was little more than a joke outside of the […]
As with most every part of the country, dealerships in Los Angeles are diverse, accommodating every kind of consumer. And while there’s really nothing special about the L.A. automotive marketplace in that regard; what’s interesting are the rankings, showing which makes and models prove most popular in the City of Angels. Setting aside any preconceived […]
Back in February, the 91st Oscars ceremony included a Cadillac presence that was not only visible but downright tangible. And while I’m no awards show enthusiast, it was a clever play by GM Cadillac’s marketing team to recapture the aspirational esteem with which we hold celebrity, and gift to the entertainment elite. But who else […]
It’s now been just over a year since Honda first unveiled their North American exclusive 2019 Honda Passport at the 2018 L.A. Auto Show. Intended to rival the likes of the Ford Edge and Nissan Murano, this updated version of the Pilot was less “twenty-five-year-old revival” and more diminutive version of Honda’s evergreen favorite, the […]
Those typing the words ‘KIA Dealership Near Me’ into their Google search bar are likely to have been enticed by accessible pricing, fresh design philosophy and the overall strength of KIA’s warranty offerings. Some of us might still remember KIA’s stateside presence during its infancy, back when there was only a modest audience proving responsive […]
At the risk of sounding like a meme: I don’t know who needs this right now, but there are more options than you might realize when it comes to car dealerships in Carbondale (IL). Okay, we’re not trying to single out Carbondale. We’re simply trying to convey that, no matter where you are, selection of […]
Despite an entire childhood spent behind the wheel of various cars and trucks, it would be 1994 before I obtained my driver’s license at age sixteen. As my friends and I began to acquire our first vehicles, be they self-bought or handed down to us, there was a diverse sampling of makes, models and model […]
In 2013, Forbes named the Volkswagen Group as one of their picks for brands that “Rule the World”. Considering that the flagship VW brand is bolstered by corporate stablemates, Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini and Porsche (among others) it’s hard to argue the validity of VW’s claim to such an aspirational placement. However, fast-forward six years, […]
If you’re reading this article, it might have been a search for ‘Toyota Dealership Near Me’ that brought you here. And if we’re giving credit where it’s due, it might just mean that you’re already well-aware of something that I’ve only started to figure out in recent years; that there ain’t nothing wrong with a […]
A lot goes into the car-buying experience. On the buyer’s side alone, a satisfying purchase is the reward enjoyed by a buyer who has performed their due diligence. They have made the decision to pursue a new or used vehicle offering. They have researched the pros and cons of makes, models and trim levels. They […]
When you think of the motivators, the genuine factors that contribute to your choice of a new vehicle, what comes to mind? Price? Amenities? Safety? Power and Utility Ratings? Versatility? Cargo? Of course, these are all normal considerations for most prospective car buyers, but the bolstering of Millennial sensibilities merged with the entrance of Generation […]
Navigating the choppy waters of current auto news can prove a unique challenge, forcing one to remain vigilant, watchful of the destination (compelling, promising headlines) while weathering the storm (discouraging headlines worthy of criticism). In terms of the former, we’ve the spent the last decade forging our way out of a global recession (albeit one […]
From the L.A. Auto Show in December to the Geneva Auto Show in March, it’s easy to appreciate this time of year for the array of current auto news being served up.

In terms of expense, the purchase of an automobile is (for most people) second only to the purchase of a home. And while most of us would love the financial freedom to drive the vehicle of our choice off the dealer’s lot on a whim, cash paid, it’s simply not a feasible option for the […]
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) who stands as the United Kingdom’s largest vehicle manufacturer continues to move forward with their poetically titled “Charge and Accelerate” initiative, an 18-month strategy designed to ensure the company’s longevity. And while we’ll get to some of the ways that JLR’s plan is anchored by the weight of both disappointment and […]
When it comes to car-buying, one could argue that geography is inconsequential. The elements of due diligence and dealership relations that feel unpleasant in one part of the country are just as likely to be present any (and dare we say “every”) where else. So if you’re looking for dealerships in Seattle or dealerships in […]
If we were to prepare a Venn diagram of (i) current auto news and (ii) Christmas Lists to Santa, one might imagine the overlap consisting of ridiculous commercials featuring upper middle-class spouses buying new luxury vehicles as a surprise for one another, without the other’s knowledge (or any discussion). That said, it would appear that […]
One could argue that the discussion of any automaker’s standing, amidst the current automotive landscape, is bound to deliver a mixed bag in terms of response. While loyalists garner endless praise upon their brand of choice, detractors are prepared to shower limitless criticisms upon them. And it seems that few automakers might be stretched as […]
What do you consider to be the most important part of a vehicle purchase? The research to find the perfect one? Seeking out the best price?
