In today’s digital landscape, we’re always connected. Your phone knows where you are at all times. You might have a device in your house that constantly listens to you. And, if you drive a relatively modern car, it might even be collecting data on you. One unfortunate side effect of this trend is invasive advertisements that interrupt […]
There’s something strange going on. Auction sites such as Bring a Trailer and Cars & Bids are listing pristine examples of completely unremarkable cars. A couple weeks back, a 2002 Daewoo Leganza SE with a mere 47 miles on the clock brought a modest $7,000. Just recently, this 2003 Ford Mustang GT with just 4,000 […]
One of the most common criticisms of modern cars is complication. Today’s crop of automobiles are packed to the brim with computers and electronics. Turbochargers squeeze every last bit of power from tiny engines. As a result, modern cars are a challenge to work on and have a lot more to break. The trouble is, […]
The redesigned Toyota Land Cruiser will not come to the United States. This news is nearly as old as the outgoing model itself, and many enthusiasts lament the loss of the Japanese automaker’s flagship off-roader. The Land Cruiser nameplate will live on in the rest of the world. It’s not out just yet, but recent […]
The Subaru Outback – at least in the US market – is really in a class of its own. Its wagon body combines car-like driving dynamics with SUV practicality, and it actually touts a modicum of off-road capability as well. There’s just one problem: the Outback isn’t cool. Happily, there’s now a solution, and it’s […]
The 2021 Audi RS6 Avant is the ultimate do-it-all car. It’s blisteringly fast. It’s full of gadgets and cowhide and shiny metals. And it carries a bunch of stuff and people. Naturally, it costs about as much as a sports car, luxury car, and people carrier combined as well: about $130,000. The question is, though, is […]
Dating back ten years, the Lamborghini Aventador is one of the oldest supercars on the market. While this lifespan may seem like eons in the car world, it’s typical of a V12 Lamborghini. The four flagships that came before the Aventador — the Miura, Countach, Diablo, and Murcielago — reigned for over four decades. But […]
Old concept cars offer a fascinating look into how society in the past envisioned the future. With their radical styling, pioneering technology, and lack of real-world production constraints, concepts offer designers an unusual amount of freedom to express their visions. Usually, when a concept car becomes irrelevant, it’s shoved into the history books and forgotten. […]
In the 1990s, the Mercedes-Benz lineup was far simpler than it is today. There was no AMG-GT or Maybach or SLR or SLS or coupe SUVs or hybrids. In fact, there was barely any AMG at all — AMG was little more than an independent tuner, like Brabus. This meant the SL was the top […]
The Toyota Land Cruiser is one of the most dependable, rugged, capable vehicles on the market, if not the most. With its brawny styling, overbuilt engine, and go-anywhere toughness, many would consider it the ultimate Toyota SUV. It isn’t, though. In the 1990s, Toyota one-upped itself by creating the Mega Cruiser, which is essentially the Japanese equivalent […]
