Part of the 21st-century automotive technology boom has included the rise of dash cam technology. According to expert estimates, between 10 and 20% of vehicles currently have a dash camera installed, and a 2024 survey found that up to one-third of people who will be buying a vehicle in the next few years want it […]
Although the news had been known for months, it became a crushing reality this past November. After an uninterrupted 28-year run, you will soon no longer be able to find a new Chevy Malibu for sale as Chevrolet has officially ended production of the Malibu for the second time.

When it comes to seeking your next family vehicle, while you have many options, there are only a few truly promising options. This is especially true for a large family that needs a full-size model.

As someone who’s worked in auto racing for 14 years and been a fan my whole life, I’ve witnessed and experienced more disasters and near-disasters than I care to talk about. However, I’ve also witnessed great strides in motorsports safety, from local short tracks to the highest levels of stock car and open-wheel competition. Although […]
General Motors is bringing its three-row SUVs into the next generation, giving the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse, 2024 GMC Acadia, and 2025 Buick Enclave major redesigns. For those who aren’t familiar with the GM family of brands, these three offer affordable (Chevy), premium (GMC), and near-luxury (Buick) vehicles. While some models under these brands are completely […]
The Hyundai Santa Cruz is a bit of a unique vehicle in the auto industry: it’s generally seen as a compact truck and compared to other models like the Ford Maverick, but its design isn’t entirely that of a pickup. It’s a bit of a blend between the looks of an SUV plus the capability […]
That’s a great question and one that I’m sure is at the forefront of a lot of people’s minds when it comes to choosing the right truck. While models like the Ford F-150 work well for plenty of people, the Super Duty series is there for folks who need more power and capability from their […]
At first glance, it might seem like the end of days at Jaguar. The brand has been hemorrhaging models as of late, ending production of the XE, XF, and F-Type in mid-2024 and continuing to cull the lineup with the departure of the I-Pace and E-Pace towards the end of the year. This sort of […]
Short answer: yes. Longer answer: all it takes is one look at what Nissan has done with the Murano for the 2025 model year and its full redesign to see that they’re looking to break the mold a bit with their midsize SUV. I’m not going to say that this is revolutionary or anything, but […]

It wasn’t long ago that solid-state batteries were the hottest new EV technology, promising longer ranges, faster charge times, and other benefits versus lithium-ion. However, despite extensive ongoing investments from automakers, optimism has cooled as the tech’s potential seemingly remains far from reality.

The Ford Bronco’s retro styling has been a major selling point since the SUV was reintroduced to the market in 2021. While today’s Bronco models might feature a decidedly more modern look than some of the boxy models of old, the midsize offering is still a standout on today’s market with a unique design that […]
I find Chevy’s recent choices of EV models very interesting. Of course, we were all following the Silverado EV release story, a game-changing development not only for Chevy but also for the industry at large. With an EV truck on its hands, one could have fairly presumed that Chevy would make its next EV victory […]

When Hyundai introduced the Tucson compact crossover SUV in 2004, it quickly became a reliable part of their lineup, appealing to value-conscious people who wanted smooth handling and high storage capabilities even from a smaller vehicle. Since the late 2010s, though, the Tucson’s popularity has exploded as part of a larger shift in buying habits […]
Earlier this year, I wrote about the unexpected return of the Scout automotive nameplate, which was Jeep’s biggest off-road challenger in the 1960s and 1970s before a combination of factors led to its untimely end. Volkswagen announced the revival of Scout Motors in 2022 to produce EVs inspired by the original SUV lineup; when I […]
What’s the largest class of vehicles in the automotive landscape? In terms of physical size, that’s debatable, but in terms of industry “size” the answer is clear. The industry is saturated with versatile SUVs, each promising plenty of excitement in the driver’s seat courtesy of well-equipped cabins, innovative technologies, and engaging powertrains. From American marquees […]
If you’re looking for a truck that can head off-road, you’re living in a time of plenty.
