Nature Takes the Wheel in Kansas Animals and various critters have quite a relationship with cars as much as we do, from moose licking salt off vehicles in Canada to Volkswagen engineering specialized badges to reduce kamikaze kangaroo collisions in Australia. But a recent situation in Kansas feels less like a typical wildlife encounter and more like a real-life episode of The Simpsons. A local Ford dealership found itself with a highly motivated buyer for a shiny, brand-new F-250 sitting on its

Purist be Damned? The family that owned Alpina for decades sold the brand to BMWback in 2022. The Bovensiepen family cited tightening emissions regulations and heightened competition from EVs for turning in the towel. The legacy they leave behind will be continued by the very brand they supported and tuned for decades, but maybe the news will be bittersweet for long-time fans. Put simply, Alpina couldn't see past what it had already done, but BMW thought differently. With the help of the former

Honda has recalled nearly 60,000 SUVs for a fault with the rearview camera screen, which could increase the risk of a crash or injury. This recall adds to the many rearview camera-related recalls we’ve already seen from various automakers this year, including one from Tesla earlier this month that affected over 200,000 models and another involving over 356,000 Audis.

Ford Says Europe’s Bronco Will Not Be A Softened Crossover Earlier reports that Fordwould bring five new models to Europe over the next two years immediately caught the attention of Bronco fans.

Still Praised After All These Years The current Honda Civic Type R isn't exactly a young product anymore. Introduced in mid-2022 for the 2023 model year, it remains one of the best-performing compact cars on the market today. We certainly wouldn't pass up an opportunity to drive one again, and it's always a pleasure to be reacquainted with it. What's fascinating about the Type R is its usability. True to the hot hatch formula, it's daily-friendly but can also excite. Dare we say it, it's one of

Genesis Magma Is Starting To Take Shape The GV60 Magma already gives us a sense of what Genesis has in mind for its entry into the electric performance realm. Aggressive aero, chassis revisions, and a dual-motor setup producing up to 641 horsepower in Boost Mode. Not too shabby. The GV60 Magma is getting ready for its US arrival for the 2027 model year, but what’s next? Well, thanks to a recent prototype sighting in Korea, it looks like Genesis may already have another Magma model deep into deve

Blazing its Own Trail For those worrying if Alpina will be diluted because of BMW ownership, you can all breathe a sigh of relief. The Vision Alpina BMW made its world premiere recently, and so far, praise has been heaped on it. Its primary goal is to establish Alpina's new design language, and we're liking what we see. With the reveal of the concept, it shows that Alpina is forging its own path. Exciting times for the brand, indeed, and it'll be interesting to see how the design elements will b

The Last C8 Series Corvette is heading back into the shop and preparing for one of the last chapters in the C8's history. The 2027 Corvette Grand Sport and Grand Sport X are coming, bringing several tweaks to the mid-engined platform and updated powertrains. The Grand Sport and Grand Sport X variants will sit above the Stingray and replace the E-Ray in the lineup. We're going to see the new Grand Sport series go into production at the brand's Bowling Green factory by June 8, 2026. As far as a

To most people shopping for a new car, this warranty signals bulletproof reliability. However, The Car Care Nut Reviews takes a closer look at the actual mechanical engineering beneath the hood—such as the layout found in the 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid— and it reveals a contrasting narrative. Instead of timeless durability, modern Kias and Hyundais appe

The first-ever all-electric take on the brilliant BMW M3 sports sedan is only due to arrive next year, but BMW has already been building anticipation by sharing tidbits on what to expect. BMW M boss Frank van Meel recently shared a post on Instagram showing that the electric M3 (which we'll call iM3 but has not been confirmed to carry that name) will share one design detail with the BMW M Hybrid V8 Le Mans endurance racer: yellow daytime running lights. Clearly, BMW is implying that the know-how

Another Day Another Recall Despite the inherently negative nature of a service advisory or recall, the severity depends on the specific issue at hand. Some recalls address major issues, such as powertrain problems, malfunctioning features, or safety-related faults. Other recalls simply tackle the very simplest and, in some cases, strange mistakes. GM's latest Customer Satisfaction Program (a gentle name for recall) is for the Cadillac Optiq, and the reason is perplexing.
