It’s no secret I’m more of a fan of diesels than EVs when it comes to the green fight. Anyone’s who’s had some time behind the wheel of a newer oil-burner knows these things are heads and shoulders above the driving death featured in hybrids everywhere. Then Honda goes and shows off this little sucker [...]

If you’ve ever wondered why today’s cars have porked out so much even though they’ve shrunk in size, this video will give you a little insight. Thanks to the IIHS and the never ending development of the OEM’s you’ll walk away from accidents that a generation ago would kill you. Pretty amazing stuff.

You knew this was bound to happen, Fiends. After all, I am a product of the south, and around these parts, there’s nothing as American as a big ol’ honkin’ pick-up truck. Of course, what you see above is about as far from the jacked up, rusted out products of the ‘70s prowling high-school parking [...]

The good Fiends at iMotor have finally gotten around to putting Nissan’s bad-mouthing to the test. The squabbling over the heavy-weight title in the ‘Ring has done much to draw attention away from the bantamweight fight between the 370Z and the Cayman S. Not too long ago, Nissan was fluffing its feathers and proudly proclaiming [...]

It takes a serious commitment to reorganize a corporate image. Where Hyundai has long been a purveyor of inexpensive, economical transportation that caters more to the bottom line than any emotional response, the addition of the Genesis Coupe and Sedan looks to prove there’s more to the company than a 100,000 mile warranty. This isn’t [...]

The mid-to-full size sedan market is no place for sheep. With volume giants like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord growing ever larger, more powerful and attractive, and domestic bruisers like the Chevrolet Malibu, Ford Taurus and Fusion prowling the tall grasses, this is not a spot for the aging or sickly. With a preponderance [...]

The more vehicles I drive, the more I realize our domestic manufacturers are great at building cars and trucks people want, but not so hot at cranking out the ones we need. Take a look at any of the neo muscle bruisers out there right now to get the gist of my meaning. The 430 [...]

I was a movin’ man in my younger days
But I gone out my ramblin’ ways
I left that road so far behind
Now I know, oh babe
I got mine…

The sun’s coming down as I dip off the interstate, long rays nicking off of the Challenger’s endless nose. The sheet metal, dipped in retina-snatching Inferno Red [...]

We don’t do boring cars around here. It’s just the rule. Why, then, are you staring at a Chevrolet Traverse, you ask? The rig’s a crossover, you say – the very definition of boring. These days “crossover” has come to stand for the same family-driving hell once embodied by the SUV, the minivan and long, [...]

Yesterday, Paul Y. mentioned our Fool’s Gold long-roof Volvo would make a great Swedish General Lee. Well, it looks like the notion of foreign-bred successors to the Hazard County throne is a popular one. OnCars has worked up a great review of Audi’s S5, complete with plenty of sideways action in the dirt and Dixie-whistling [...]
