Part of Chevy’s 2024 lineup has consisted of a slate of new EV models, one of which is the 2024 Chevy Blazer—but some eagle-eyed enthusiasts may have noticed that the Blazer is […]
They say there are three types of drivers. There’s the type who already owns an electric vehicle, or EV. There’s the type who would rather walk than drive an EV. And then there are those who understand the benefits of EVs, love the idea of never having to deal with oil changes and expensive gas […]
Looking back on all the new and redesigned motorcycle models of 2023, it can be difficult to decide which one is the most influential. We saw everything from updated powerhouses like the 2023 BMW M 1000 RR, which received aggressive racetrack-ready aerodynamics, to brand-new beginner bikes like the 2023 CF Moto 450SS, which awed reviewers […]
This is a time of upheaval and change for the auto industry, one that will impact the vehicles we drive for decades to come in much the same way the oil crisis of the 1970s did. Although there are some people not in favour of it, there’s no denying that car manufacturers are looking at […]
There is no denying that the automotive industry is undergoing a rapid transition toward electrification. This gives eco-minded drivers an increasingly diverse array of options for making the daily commute emissions-free.

I do not know how to use just one loop to tie my shoes (bunny ears for life!), and I do not understand why Pringles are re-sealable (there is clearly a single serving in that tube), but I do know this: the Ford Mustang Mach-E is one of the most fantastic cars on the road. […]
Few manufacturers have amassed a reputation for technological innovation greater than Nissan’s. It’s rare that a new model year arrives, and Nissan hasn’t already made some key announcements regarding the new innovations its fleet possesses. In recent years, the major breakthroughs from the Japanese manufacturer have mostly involved developing new safety and driving assistance features […]
It is an epidemic. Now, before you dash for your hazmat suit, or worse yet, your zombie KO kit, hear me out. This epidemic is one of electrifying proportions, and it involves the Jeep. Again, we are not talking about the zombie apocalypse here, and I can’t blame you for going there since a Jeep […]
In the race to full electrification, many automakers have chosen to revamp their most popular nameplates to demonstrate their “all-in” strategy and buoy consumer confidence. Enter the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning, Ford’s attempt to transition truck buyers from traditional gas and diesel rigs to full battery power. However, switching to an EV comes with mandatory […]
Electric trucks are slowly rolling out onto the marketplace and attempting to disrupt the current shopping trends. But there’s a big difference between an electric truck and the electric vehicles for sale in other segments, such as the electric cars and SUVs that have become increasingly popular.

Like a strike of lightning, the Ford F-150 Lightning changed the automotive landscape overnight and ushered in a new era for Ford. They aren’t the only manufacturer to try this, as the likes of the Chevy Silverado EV are imminent; however, between Ford and Chevy—two of America’s crowned automakers—only the former has had continued success […]
For many, one-pedal driving is something you might associate with bumper cars at an arcade or maybe the first little battery-operated vehicle your parents gave you as a toddler to ride around the front yard in. However, one-pedal driving is an important part of current-day, made-for-adults, road-ready vehicles – electric vehicles, to be exact. If […]
Mazda got its start as a cork company, believe it or not, but its entry into the auto industry was noteworthy due to its use of the Wankel rotary engine in the 1960s. Although the brand didn’t invent the rotary engine, Mazda pioneered its use in cars and became the leading user of this type […]
The 2023 LEAF marked a redesign for Nissan’s electric hatchback. It’s been in production for 13 years, making it one of the most notable and longest-running EVs currently available on the market.

How many model names can you recall which originated before 1960 and are still in use today? I can think of nine (read to the end for my answers), and only one of them has been a marque’s sole offering for the duration. The Caterham Seven is a direct evolution of the original Lotus Seven […]
