You might even go so far as […]
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. On one hand, we’re captivated by the exploration of all that is new, be it […]
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.

Reassuring, […]
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. Never […]
Any psychiatrist or self-help guru would agree that honest introspection is a key component of effective personal growth.

Recently, current auto news has been littered with reports of Ford’s decision to eliminate all cars (except for the iconic Mustang) from its domestic production schedule.

In recent weeks, President Trump has made several public threats to add or increase taxes on European auto imports in the interest of making American auto manufacturing more competitive.

Oh, the stigma of car dealerships. Granted, today’s car buyers continue to share dealership horror stories, but if you’re over a certain age (let’s say 30) you probably remember a time where automotive sales barely qualified as human beings. In the evolutionary food chain, car salesman were rated somewhere above non-thinking single-celled organism and fungal […]
When is The Best Time to Buy a Car? There is a good time and even best time for just about everything. When it comes to buying a new vehicle, the best time could mean a saving of hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Many car buyers believe in the “negotiating only” policy. As in, […]
Evolution happens in every industry, including car dealerships. Whether they’re located in Boston or Cincinnati, all car dealerships have to keep up with changes in society. As such, trends emerge annually that change the way dealers help the public discover and purchase new and pre-owned vehicles. In 2018, many of the same trends that occurred […]
If you’ve been in the market for a new vehicle, you can’t visit a single car brand’s webpage without reading something about their autonomous driving technology.

Reminiscing on 2017, few would debate the fact that it has proven to be one of the most divisive in our shared history. In fact, that divisiveness seems to have fueled the creation of an almost solely argumentative culture, where many choose to remain silent simply because the debate is no longer calm (and […]
On a normal day, the experience of working side-by-side with a Jeep enthusiast is a unique experience, all its own. But this is multiplied exponentially at times like this, where current auto news seems obsessed with the released of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL.
