Even though wheels aren’t essential to the actual aerial part of an airline flight, it’s generally not great when one of the landing gear wheels shoots sparks everywhere and then, um, falls off. Which is exactly what happened on an Air Canada Jazz flight from Montreal to Bagotville in a small Dash 8-300 commuter…

It is the Lamborghini Huracán Evo RWD. That is to say, it is a new version of the Lamborghini Huracán Evo but with rear-wheel drive instead of all-wheel drive. That is to say, it’s the good Lambo but more better.

After reading about my recent $700 “Holy Grail” Jeep, a Virginia accountant named Charles sent me an email titled “My one in a million purchase.” Attached were photos of one of the most soulful automobiles I’ve ever seen: a 1991 Dodge Ramcharger with a spectacular Rocky Mountain-themed art scheme featuring 14 (!!!)…

Winter is here. And despite a deep desire to stay indoors for most of it, I can’t.

The 2020 Honda Pilot is a comfortable, user-friendly, inoffensively minivan-like SUV for large families. The 2020 Honda Pilot Black Edition, is, get this, black. Exterior, interior, wheels. It’s as all-black as New Zealand’s rugby team or a car from the motor pool for anonymous henchmen.

If you’re flying Frontier or JetBlue in the near future, don’t be surprised if your flight doesn’t exactly arrive on time. Cirium, a data collection agency that tracked over 5.6 million flights last year, ranked all North American airlines based on their on-time arrivals. The report found Frontier and JetBlue were the…

Okay, I guess I should be clear right up front that, no, I can’t technically prove that Bosch engineers read my article from about a year ago, saw my dynamic, LCD-based sun visor idea, and decided that, hey, let’s take this high-quality idea as our own and develop a prototype and show it at CES! I mean, yes, it’s…

Poor Infiniti decidedly did not have a stellar year last year. Abysmal sales figures reports from October led us to declare the automaker was getting creamed. And after viewing its recently published, overall 2019 sales figures, we can unilaterally conclude that, yes, Infiniti got creamed.

Henrik Fisker, the designer behind cars like the BMW Z8 and the Fisker Karma, has struggled to keep a car company afloat in the past. But he’s trying again with the Fisker Ocean, a 250-mile range electric crossover with a price that steeply undercuts the upcoming Tesla Model Y.

The Ford F-150 will never die, Subaru thinks it can sell even better in the U.S., and Nissan is trying to figure out how to do the same. All of this and more in The Morning Shift for Monday, Jan. 6, 2020.

It doesn’t happen too often, but every now and then I’ll have a chance encounter with a car that I’d completely forgotten about. That encounter will usually have one of two outcomes: either a long, overly dramatic exhale and a some loud statement to the person (likely imaginary) next to me about how happy I am I…

Welcome to the first real work week of 2020! Damn, it feels so futuristic in here, so to counter that, I’d like to present this Nissan Verita as a reminder that with the right stuck-on headlights and little chorme bits, modernity can be twisted to feel like the past. I’m okay with that.

With AWD, AWS, and a twin-turbo DOHC V6, today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe 3000GT is a tour de force of automotive acronyms. Let’s see if its price also makes it a turd de farce.

One person was hospitalized with minor injuries after a Ferrari F430 driver lost control and crashed into the restaurant Pump in West Hollywood. The restaurant is owned by Lisa Vanderpump, and is featured on Bravo’s “Vanderpump Rules.”

The old NSX is the car we all should have bought ten years ago before they exploded in value. But we didn’t. Or at least I didn’t. The prices have been increasing for years while the new NSXs are losing value. Why? Because the old one is better. Objectively better.

I have a few issues with the 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition, and one of them is that the name is too long. Another issue that I have with the 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition is that some dealers are asking over $100,000 for the special…
