When you’re shopping for a car, there are two major safety ratings you should look for: the number of stars (out of five) from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the picks and ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Both of these organizations are dedicated to improving safety on the […]
The launch of the 2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale is big news for a relatively small brand. Currently, Alfa Romeo only offers two models to American drivers: the Giulia sports sedan and the Stelvio compact SUV.

If you haven’t been paying attention, off-roading is getting big, and every major manufacturer seems to be cashing in. While beasts like the 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392, the 2022 Chevy Silverado ZR2, the 2021 Ford Bronco Wildtrak, and the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX rightfully lay claim to most of the fame and glory, what […]
If you have been shopping for a new car, you are likely well aware that every manufacturer is loading its latest models with all kinds of active safety features and driver-assist systems.

If you have been shopping for an EV, then you have probably heard the term “one-pedal driving” mentioned a time or two. However, if you haven’t yet taken an electric car for a test drive, you might be skeptical of what this means and why anyone would want it. Even if you do have a […]
Most manufacturers will redesign their vehicles every five years or so, using more modern platforms, features, and technologies. Not Toyota. The full-size Sequoia was last updated when Obama was elected President–the first time. To say a redesign of this model was overdue is an understatement, but Toyota has finally gotten around to modernizing its truck […]
When it comes to off-road legends, few vehicles can match the storied history of the Ford F-150 Raptor or the Ford Bronco. Now, Ford has decided to combine these two automotive icons to create the 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor. This new version of Ford’s recently revived off-road SUV promises to bring more power, more capability, […]
Perhaps you live in a northern state where snow and ice is a daily occurrence for what seems like half the year. Perhaps you like to spend your free time driving down fire roads looking for the perfect place to enjoy the great outdoors. Or perhaps you simply need a reliable vehicle that you can […]
We may not have made much progress on the flying cars that science fiction has been predicting, but driverless cars are closer to being a reality than ever before. While no one has yet cracked the code (or, more importantly, established the legality) for a car that will let you take a nap during your […]
When you think of Ford trucks, odds are you imagine an F-150. Maybe even a Super Duty or a Raptor. However, outside of America, these powerful machines are all but unheard of. Instead, it is the humble Ford Ranger that carries the torch for the blue oval. In fact, just as the F-150 is the […]
If you have ever shopped for a car, then you have probably considered the fuel economy ratings of your options – especially since gas prices seem to always be going up. On the surface, they seem pretty simple. There is this nice big sticker in the window stating exactly how many MPG the car gets […]
In 2001, the Toyota Prius reached the American market, introducing everyone to the word “Hybrid.” While you may not be able to describe exactly how a hybrid achieves its remarkable fuel efficiency, there are few drivers today who are not aware of the basics. However, today the world of hybrids has become far more complex […]
After months of hints, what may be Chevy’s most important new model in over a decade has finally been unveiled.

A lease is a great way to enjoy a cutting-edge performance car at an affordable price. However, if you are looking for one of the best performance leases available, you might want to skip visiting your local BMW or Mercedes dealership and instead head over to your nearest Chevy dealer.

The midsize SUV segment is growing in popularity, with more models joining the fray seemingly every year. While new nameplates like the Toyota Venza and Chevy Blazer are making a splash with their dazzling styling and modern features, old mainstays continue to play a large role. The Ford Edge and the Nissan Murano are familiar […]
If you have ever shopped for a car, then you are well aware that just because two cars share the same name, it doesn’t mean they have much in common. Stack a base model up against a fully loaded version of the same vehicle, and the differences are night and day. Fortunately, car manufacturers have […]
Not too long ago, a manual transmission was known as a “standard,” and pretty much everyone grew up driving them. Today, automatic transmissions have become the standard, and many young (and even not-so-young) drivers have never even ridden in a manual car, let alone had the chance to drive one. So what are you to […]
Every driver is extremely familiar with the process of refueling a gas or diesel vehicle (well, unless you live in New Jersey or Oregon, which ban self-service gas stations). However, the process of recharging an electric vehicle is still shrouded in mystery for the vast majority of drivers. Whether you are looking at buying an […]
Most people would rather drive a safe car. Even if safety isn’t at the top of your list, the odds are that it is somewhere among your desired features. But how do you determine how safe a car is? Every manufacturer will tout all the safety features and technologies they included in their design, but […]
Unless you are a car enthusiast, you probably don’t spend much time thinking about the transmission in your car.
