Hot hatchbacks are awesome. They deliver one of the most entertaining automotive experiences. It’s a combination of factors that make them great.

comments
It’s been seven months since I sold the Stormtrooper 4Runner. It was my first true road-legal project, my first that really felt like a nonstop commitment. It was in my care for two years and change. Certainly enough time to get to know it, and more than enough time to love it dearly. And now,…

comments
Tesla is a talking point for uncountable things these days. Production targets, questionable financial practices, the never-ending Cybertruck discussion; if it’s something related to Tesla, it’s in the news.

comments
As of late Maserati has somewhat become a caricature of a company and of its prior self. Truth is, the brand’s offerings tend to be somewhat old and underwhelming when matched up against their competitors. But not for long – a new Maserati is on the horizon.

/
/
comments
As far as automotive awards go, Motor Trend’s “Of the Year” accolade is one of the biggest. It’s not an end-all, be-all title but it is a good indication of what one of the industry’s most widely read publications (aside from Hooniverse -KK) think to be the most important vehicles released this turn of the calendar.…
