For years, sedans looked like a dying breed in America. SUVs took over driveways, becoming the default choice for families and commuters alike. But according to a recent report from the Detroit Free Press, the humble sedan may finally be heading for a comeback. Ironically, one of the biggest reasons behind it is that SUVs have become almost too common. SUV Fatigue Is Real Stellantis

Toyota's Factory-Built HD Pickup Among all the full-size pickup manufacturers in the U.S., Toyota is the only one that doesn't build a heavy-duty version. Elsewhere around the world, though, it has the long-running Land Cruiser 70 Series to cover for that. Granted, it's not a full-size truck, but its payload and towing capacity can match some much bigger ones. Toyota also has its Hino division to focus on haulers. That said, Ford rolled out the Ranger Super Duty for select markets. It's the firs

The Price Of Imagination When you buy a car, you're entitled to do whatever you want with it in terms of modifications and personalization; it is, after all, a reflection of your personality. Some people are mild-mannered about minor accessories, exterior or interior color changes, and the occasional engine modifications. Others are more "adventurous," opting to go all out and completely change their car's dynamic. One example is now for sale– an Aston Martin DB9 among all cars – and it is one o

Trouble in the Fast Lane Waymo has been fairly impressive on city streets, but the same cannot be said for freeways. The robotaxi company recently suspended its U.S. freeway operations shortly after expanding the service, possibly as pressure builds from rivals such as Tesla and Amazon’s Zoox. One freeway incident caught on camera was shared by @Elliot_slade on X, who wrote that they genuinely thought they “were about to die” during a Waymo ride. The user said the robotaxi swerved around huge tr

Proper Information The operation of a motor vehicle is simple enough; if you've gone through the lessons and passed the exams, you are regarded as a legal driver. Things change when you consider the other factors that go into using a car; we assume that the manufacturer will provide all the relevant information on how to use the car properly, which we follow. If certain information is wrong or missing, no matter how small the "omission," it might still cause unwanted issues or accidents. Tesla's

The Business Of Reimagined 911s Porsche 911 restomods have become so prolific that they seem to have a subculture of their own. Companies like Singer Vehicle Design and Gunther Werks are among the most renowned players in the segment, where some builds can sell for seven-figure sums. Pogea Racing, a German tuner, has brought its own interpretation of the 964-generation 911 with the PR964. Unlike Singer’s posh, heritage-focused approach, the PR964 appears boldly athletic, featuring a carbon-fiber

In 1986, the same year BMW launched the original E30 M3, someone inside the company had a radical idea. Take a convertible, gut the rear end, fit a load bed, and put it to work on the factory floor. That is exactly what happened. For 26 years, this one-of-a-kind pickup moved parts and equipment around BMW's facilities without anyone outside the company knowing it existed. BMW didn't retire it until 2012. It was only revealed to the public in 2016, and this year, with the M3 turning 40, BMW has b

Stellantis believes offering a V8 engine is still critical in the pickup market, even if relatively few buyers actually choose one. According to CEO Antonio Filosa, nearly half of truck buyers will not even consider a brand unless a V8 sits somewhere on the options list. His comments help explain why the Hemi V8 returned to the Ram 1500 so quickly after being dropped from the lineup, as well as the new Rumble Bee's existence. Buyers Still Want A V8 Option

Regulation Matters The automotive industry as a whole is competitive, but it's even more cutthroat at the dealership and showroom levels. Each brand dealership is doing its best to stay competitive, which sometimes leads to employing "shady" business tactics. In most cases, these sometimes illegal practices are passed on to unsuspecting customers and buyers. After all, car buying is a complicated and tedious task; more often than not, we, the buyers, just want to get it over and done with. Thank
