For some, there’s nothing better than a good American vehicle. 

It looks like the Sony car is a go or at least something like it, will come soon. Honda has finalized a deal with Sony, to make EVs by 2025.

Nissan’s new fully-electric Ariya crossover SUV isn’t on sale quite yet, but the company already has some big plans and stunts in store for the vehicle. Recently, the company announced its plans to take the EV crossover on a journey of epic proportions, a grueling journey from the North Pole, to the South Pole.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kona Electric are just the start of Hyundai’s big electric push. Just recently on May 20, Hyundai officially announced plans for a 5.5 billion dollar plant in Georgia, all in the name of electrified vehicles.

European cars have a certain feeling, a certain presence, a certain driving experience, that few other vehicles can replicate. 

In the span of just 20 years, vehicles conceived and designed by South Korean automobile manufacturers have gone from value-orientated alternatives to class leading innovators. The success trajectory of these automobiles is impressive.

The current Civic Type R continues a long line of unique and/or performance versions of Honda's compact car.

There are a lot of unique looking cars out there, and some of them are even affordable, meaning you don’t need a hypercar to stand out from the crowd.

Well before its current incarnation, the Jeep Cherokee enjoyed a long and distinguished career as an SUV that defied convention and introduced numerous innovations that the rest of the automotive industry scrambled to match.

Automakers from Ford to General Motors to Volkswagen have sharpened their focus on electrified production vehicles of late, with the ever-popular American pickup truck segment being an area of particular interest. Numerous automobile marques have announced plans to produce hybrid or fully electric pickup truck models in the coming years, including not only well-established carmakers like the aforementioned, but a handful of relative newcomers, too.

It’s a bit hard to believe that 26 years ago, no one really knew what a Mazda Miata was.

 All of the Detroit Big Three manufacture vehicles outside the U.S. borders, some of which are America’s best-selling vehicles.

By the year 2000, American sports cars had been dragged through the mud enough.

I’d like to introduce you to a long-time friend and enemy of mine. It’s called the Snow Belt.

Body-on-frame SUVs are becoming a rare sight on today’s dealer lots. 

Chrysler‘s recent concept cars may not be terribly exciting, but in the past, it has created some stunning machines.

The 1980s was a transitional decade for the American sports car.

It Just Feels Right; Passion for the Road; Get In; Be Moved; Zoom-Zoom; Driving Matters.

Every Jeep that rolls out of one of the company’s factories is ready for off-roading, but Jeep has more than just the trail to consider when the American automaker designs its SUVs. Some buyers want just the looks and need good on-road performance, there are safety and other vehicle standards Jeep needs to follow, and if it makes its vehicles too tall, then drivers and passengers won’t be able to get in. If you’re a hard-core off-roader though, you need more than the factory can offer. More height to let your axles and differentials pass overtop of rocks and logs instead of striking them. More wheel well clearance to fit taller tires.

Even though it was only in the marketplace for 13 years, Scion has done some great things for the automotive industry… and some really bad things, too.

Whether you drive Subaru’s entry-level WRX sport sedan or hot hatch or the speedier WRX STI, we’re sure you already derive plenty of pleasure from exploring your car’s formidable performance abilities. But whether you participate in rally races to channel your inner WRC driver, stick to the tarmac of racetracks and autocross courses, or simply like to go for a rip along your favorite back road, we’re sure you’ve given at least some thought to what you can do to your car to unleash more of its performance potential.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one formidable SUV, offering its owners plenty of utility straight from the factory. But no vehicle is perfect when you pick it up from the dealership, which is why a few accessories can make a world of difference for your daily driver. Below, we’ve selected some of the most helpful accessories you can get for your Grand Cherokee, adding more versatility and functionality to your SUV, whether you’re a fan of going off-road or simply packing up your kids and going on a road trip.

The Toyota Tundra is a versatile, full-size pickup truck that offers plenty of utility. But no vehicle is perfect right off the assembly line and that’s why aftermarket accessories exist. Whether you’re looking to make your Tundra more functional or want to change up its appearance, there’s a plethora of parts to choose from, to the point that shopping can be overwhelming. If you don’t have a specific accessory in mind but searching for a way to upgrade your Tundra, you’ve come to the right place.

The corporate behemoth that is Toyota has little trouble churning out seemingly countless examples of its popular SUVs and crossovers.

Many would argue that nothing goes off-road better than a Jeep, and nothing gives you that capability along with pickup-truck utility like a Jeep Gladiator. The highly anticipated pickup from Jeep was quickly embraced by the aftermarket, and it’s no wonder the practical off-roader based on the award-winning (and war-winning) Jeep is so popular, but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. There are always things to improve, right?

If you’re driving a Subaru Forester, there’s a good chance that you’re planning on getting more out of your crossover than the average buyer. Subaru aims its vehicles at buyers who want to get outside to do more, see more, and experience everything nature has to offer. But even with features from the factory like standard all-wheel drive, sometimes you need more. Although the Subaru Forester offers plenty of utility straight off the dealership lot, there’s always room for improvement, depending on your needs.

For more than five decades, the Chevrolet Camaro has been an enduring symbol of American muscle car performance and stylish sports car design. While the Camaro’s star faded somewhat after the fourth-generation model was discontinued in 2002, Chevrolet brought its so-called pony car roaring back in 2010 with an all-new design inspired by that of the original late-1960s model. The American automaker shined up its most affordable muscle car even more in 2016 with a sixth-gen model that took all the best things about the car’s 2010 comeback and packaged them up in an even more stylish body.

Are you familiar with the term “chalk and cheese?” Around these parts, it is often used to describe a pair of brothers who hail from the same family but have markedly different personalities. One passed the bar, for example, while the other owns one. Neither is necessarily better than the other but their differences could hardly be more vast.

Choosing between a mid-size or compact crossover can be confusing.

While the upcoming flagship Jeeps will be the brand’s crown jewels, the entry-level Renegade and Compass are nothing to scoff at. 

Some corners of the internet feel the need to complain that both of these Toyota trucks are well past their Best Before dates.

It can be argued that the original Jeep Cherokee was the first machine to market itself as a family-friendly rig with more than a dash of off-road capability. As we know, that segment now occupies a huge chunk of North American sales.

The Nissan Altima and Nissan Maxima have similar looks, are similar in size, and aren’t that far apart in price, either.

Manufacturers are trying to carve out every single niche they can find in the murderously competitive SUV and crossover markets.  Honda has a pair of pocket aces in the mid-size game, with two machines that share a lot in terms of powertrain but differ greatly in terms of image and attitude.

To this day, the Honda Civic remains one of the most popular cars to accessorize and modify, with dozens of aftermarket companies offering products for the compact car. If you own a Honda Civic and want to add a little excitement to your car, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll take a look at the top 10 best Honda Civic accessories you can get your hands on, all of which are affordable and easy to install. Some of the products on our list are purely aesthetic, while orders are functional and make your Civic even more practical.

Kia is a popular brand in North America, but many Canadians and Americans may not know the origins of the brand, why it has a close relationship with Hyundai, or where the company makes its vehicles.

Mazda has been a popular brand in North America for ages now and is well regarded by enthusiasts for the massively fun MX-5 Miata, along with its well-sorted lineup of spritely sedans and crossovers.

Instead of updating or redesigning the Optima, Kia has rid the North American market of the car altogether.

The Ford Ranger is probably one of the most sought after mid-size pick-up trucks out there and it has less to do with the way it looks or the engines it comes with. One of the critical aspects of the Ranger’s appeal is the sheer amount of aftermarket accessories available from the factory. Ford recognizes that the Ranger is less of a workhorse but more of a lifestyle vehicle unlike its elder sibling, the F150.

Kia Sedona to make its debut this summer. Looks sleeker than before and will likely be more spacious too.

Subaru adds a new 2.5-liter engine to popular Crosstrek, with 182 hp and more off-roading equipment exclusive to the Sport trim.

FCA has announced that the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica AWD will arrive at dealerships by the third quarter of this year. Those who simply cannot wait that long can order one from their nearest dealership now, however.

Buick has released the first official images and details of its 2021 Envision SUV. Those expecting a minor nip and tuck will be in for a rather rude awakening. To say that the 2021 Buick Envision looks striking would be an understatement.

Concerns over the Coronavirus (COVID-19) are keeping millions in the US at home, either working in new home offices or in self-isolation.

While success is never guaranteed in the car industry, launching an SUV in North America these days comes pretty darn close. At the risk of oversimplification, a carmaker needs only roll the thing out and then sit back and watch buyers flock to dealerships to hand over their money.

I well remember being in a massive throng of car journalists on media preview day at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2013 for the reveal of the seventh generation (C7) Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. A next-generation reveal for an icon like the ‘Vette is a big deal, and it was the talk of the show.
At any rate, in the aftermath of the unveil I remember hearing and reading a lot about the dramatic (!) switch to rectangular taillights and a front grille and headlight array that looked like it had drawn a bit too much inspiration from Ferrari. The audacity! Having returned from Las Vegas where I sampled the all-new eighth-generation (C8) Corvette Stingray, a car that introduces changes that makes handwringing over square taillights and Ferrari-ish grilles seem quaint, I’m struck by how much the general consensus around this car has evolved. Just about everything I’ve heard is positive.

The Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage are two popular choices in the compact crossover segment, and for good reason: they share a lot in common.

In the wide world of pickup trucks, buyers often croon over sayings like “best payload”, “most torque”, and “highest towing in its class”. All the Big 3 truck automakers are equally guilty of increasing these numbers on a seemingly year-over-year basis just to one-up each other, but how much is really too much in this heated battle? If these numbers really do sell trucks, then Ford just one-upped everyone and everything on the market with their latest 2020 Super Duty. It has – counts them all – over 20 “best in class” features.

When an opportunity like driving a  2020 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro comes your way, you don’t say no. Especially when a certain bow-hunting trip in the wilderness of northern Ontario is a part of the equation.

It can be argued with some vehemence that the Ford Motor Company is responsible for the plethora of crossovers and SUVs plying our nation’s roads.

If you’ve done modifications to your Jeep Wrangler — like fitting larger tires, installing off-road armor, or adding weight in the form of other accessories, you’ve likely noticed your braking performance has taken a hit. Larger tires effectively reduce the mechanical advantage of your braking system, allowing the wheels to transmit more torque to the axle. While adding weight is, well, adding weight; the heavier the vehicle, the greater its momentum, and the longer it’ll take the braking system to convert that forward momentum into friction heat.

With fresh competition in the form of all-new Ford Ranger and Jeep Gladiator mid-size pickups, GM’s mass-market bowtie brand is tweaking the design of the popular Chevrolet Colorado as it prepares for the 2021 model year.

The Subaru Impreza is receiving some small but important safety upgrades for the 2020 model year, along with a modest $100 price bump at the bottom end of the trim hierarchy.

The truck wars are raging, with Detroit’s Big Three duking it out to claim top honors. That’s why the fourth-generation Ford Super Duty, launched for the 2017 model year, is already receiving some significant updates.

The brand from South Korea has been on a bit of an SUV and crossover binge lately, introducing several different models in rapid succession. These two options, the Kona and Tucson, reside on the smaller end of the spectrum. Offering the option of all-wheel drive, these wagons-on-stilts have found great popularity, becoming the bread-and-butter of the brand.

It’s now been roughly a decade since the Toyota 4Runner received a complete redesign, making it quite long-in-the-tooth by modern vehicle standards.

“This is good,” I thought to myself about two minutes after swapping seats with my drive partner and settling in behind the wheel. “This is extremely good.”

Toyota‘s venerable Prius is on a roll, with a mid-cycle refresh and a brand-new AWD-e model both arriving for the 2019 model year. Now, Toyota is playing with the formula yet again, gracing its fuel-sipping hybrid hatchback with new standard tech.

Honda has refreshed the CR-V for 2020 and is the first step in Honda’s plan to electrify its SUV lineup.

Back in the 90s, kids were sullenly rocking out to grunge music and car makers were busy making alternate-universe versions of cars they already had on sale. Witness the Explorer/Navajo duo, or the Lumina/Cutlass Supreme/Grand Prix triplets. Common parts abounded, even if the target audiences were as disparate as chalk and cheese.
