Hooniverse Asks: What’s your favorite year for cars?
/
/
comments
Loyal Hooniversalist Batshitbox suggested a Hooniverse Asks; What’s your favorite year of manufacture? Here’s why: While researching the last HoonAsk, I realized how many cars made in 1961 were favorites of mine. The first Scouts ever made (and the first Scout I ever owned), the Chevy and GMC trucks with the bizarre ‘eyebrow’ hoods that…

Hooniverse Asks: What’s your favorite car that you think no one else likes?
/
/
comments
This is a hard question. Here in the Hooniverse we can find the good in pretty much any car out there. But there has to be a vehicle that you love and have trouble finding others who agree with you. So what is it? I couldn’t even think of one myself. I know anything I…

Hooniverse Asks: Seen any good HCOTY candidates this year?
/
/
comments
This has been an… interesting year, to say the least. However, I do feel like we’re not overwhelmed with Hooniverse Car of the Year candidates in 2020. I have a few in mind. I know my team of editors is thinking of the vehicles to be nominated as well. But I’m curious if you have…

Hooniverse Asks: Have we entered a phase of “too much” design?

comments
The all-new 2022 Hyundai Tucson gets fully revealed today. You may have already seen the photos, but the rest of the specs drop this morning. Everything I’ve read about it (and I’ve seen it in person too, actually) makes it sound like a great option in this space. But I cannot get past the design.…

Hooniverse Asks: What’s the best personal vehicle for leaving the country?
/
/
comments
Today is Election Day in the United States. This website doesn’t get too deeply political. And this post will not be political. That said if you wanted to leave the country what would be the best vehicle for doing so? I’m talking about personal vehicles and not commercial airlines or boats. I will allow private…

Hooniverse Asks: Why is the Hummer EV a GMC?
/
/
comments
The Hummer brand used to be a symbol of belligerence. Ask a random passerby on the street what they think upon hearing “Hummer,” and they probably won’t use words such as “small” or “subtle.” Or “cool.” Presumably realizing this, GM killed the Hummer brand about a decade ago, and thus had no marque to sell…

Hooniverse Asks: What’s the most memorable license plate you saw?
/
/
comments
Picking one vanity license plate from all the ones everyone sees around is not easy. And that’s not really what I am asking for. But is there one that stuck out to you? I saw this RECALL license plate at this week’s 24 Hours of Lemons race. It would be meaningless on most other cars.…

Hooniverse Asks: What do you think about the new Nissan Z Proto?
/
/
comments
The time of a new Nissan Z is essentially here. Nissan unveiled its Z Proto yesterday. This isn’t the production car, mind you, but it is a signal of “the company’s intent to launch a new generation of the legendary Z sports car” per the automaker’s press release. We here at Hooniverse HQ have many…

Hooniverse Asks: Is “Tremor” a good name for a vehicle?
/
/
comments
Last week I reviewed the F-250 Tremor and said it was good. Today, Ford announced the Ranger Tremor. Don’t for a second think that this is a coincidence. But in all this I have a question that’s been on my mind for a while – is “Tremor” a good name for a vehicle? Dictionary dot…

Hooniverse Asks: Will the Land Rover Defender succeed here?
/
/
comments
I’ve finally got some seat time in the new Land Rover Defender. This is a vehicle that I’ve been incredibly eager to drive. My window with it has been short, but I’ve enjoyed my time with it regardless. It’s wonderfully styled. The Defender drives well. And the interior is well laid out and comfortable. But…
