2020 has been a rough year, and for a lot of people, it has meant that something like a new car has been outside the realm of possibility. Even if you’ve been in pretty good shape this year, all of the uncertainty has definitely made it tricky to feel comfortable thinking about buying a new […]

In a world dominated by huge automobile manufacturers, it’s hard to believe any brand can now come into the current market and offer something that will not only attract buyers but turn a little-known company into a household name.

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 […]
As we move through the latter half of any year, passing through major automotive shows, and seeing the physical realizations of countless concept offerings in showrooms and dealer lots alike there’s usually a diverse array of sentiment to be felt.

As of October, the vast majority of current auto news was (understandably) generated from happenings at the Paris Auto Show. A steady stream of unwrapped 2019 offerings was accompanied by proactive glimpses into the near future courtesy of the expected array of concept vehicles.

Often paraphrased, misappropriated and/or translated in error, there is an ancient Chinese curse that states something along the lines of, “May you live in interesting times.” Depending on who you ask, the intent of the words might be either beneficent or damning in nature, but it’s certainly appropriate when talking about current auto news.

While Fiat-Chrysler, as a whole, remains one of the most diverse and innovatively successful automakers out there, their flagship brand has been enduring a noticeable identity crisis in recent years. Seriously, think about it. When was the last time you were truly captivated by a Chrysler-brand offering? When was the last time any one of […]
Any psychiatrist or self-help guru would agree that honest introspection is a key component of effective personal growth.
