The 2021 Genesis GV80, a luxury SUV/crossover thing that was unveiled earlier this month, might low-key be the best luxury SUV on the market by the time it reaches customers sometime this year. Now we know how much it’ll cost, a number that on paper suggests it’ll be able to more than compete with cars like the…

As you can expect, there’s lots of strange bullshit trending on Twitter at the moment: World War Six, for example, the Corona virus, all kinds of miserable bullshit. There’s also another Tweet that’s generating an awful lot of likes—maybe not quite the scale of the global disaster ones, but still—and it brings up a…

The Jeep Gladiator was one of the most hyped cars in 2019. It takes everything you love about the iconic Wrangler and adds some pickup truck functionality. Of course, when the Gladiator first hit the scene deals were hard to come by. Now that inventory has built up, you can score one for a good price.

The 2020 Mini Cooper SE is a hack-job electric car with parts from the BMW i3 that somehow only gets an estimated 110 miles of range on a charge. It feels about five years late, but it’s also relatively cheap, well-equipped and a ton of fun to drive still.

Update: U.S. Space Command has confirmed that the decommissioned satellites in question, the joint NASA-Netherlands Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) and GGSE-4, passed each other without incident on Wednesday night (ET).

Ford’s luxury brand Lincoln and newcomer electric vehicle outfit Rivian are officially teaming up to make a fully-electric vehicle that will be sold as a Lincoln. Which seems, actually, really cool.

Everybody, everybody, get over here! Drop what you’re doing! Surgeons, fling those scalpels to the ground! Pilots, land wherever you can, immediately! I have super-important taillight news and shaming to conduct here, and everyone needs to pay attention! Everyone here? Good, because it has come to my attention that…

Boeing had very, very bad year, Tesla had a very, very good year, and Nissan is asking for buyouts in the U.S. All that and more in The Morning Shift for Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2020.

The formula is simple: take your sports car, then raise it up with extra ground clearance and a wider kit for big, chunky tires. You know it. The entire vintage scene in LA knows it. And Alpine knows it, with the new Alpine A110 SportsX concept.

Over on Elliott Advocacy, one reader shared how a simple insurance mistake cost her roughly $6,000 in hospital fees. According to the reader’s account, she tripped over a chain while on vacation in Mexico, which, in an incredible series of events, resulted in an ambulance ride to a local hospital, several X-rays, a…

This 1968 Daihatsu is really a lovely little car to enjoy on a day out in your lovely new coral-colored outfit with your favorite mannequin. His knees don’t bend, so you’ll have to stash him diagonally in the little back seat area.

Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we’ll provide the jams.

Today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe 650i rocks amazingly huge 21-inch wheels with rubber band tires. It also comes with a rare six-speed stick. The most important number for us, however, is going to be the price. Let’s see where that lands.

Cars have locking doors for a reason. They are there to keep you in and other people (or bears) out. But there are still people who leave their unattended cars unlocked and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why.

Harley knows what it’s future looks like with, perhaps by as soon as next year, more sales internationally than in the U.S., the continuation of a long-term trend. It’s desperately trying to prop up U.S. sales, but the LiveWire hasn’t been selling great, and its core demo is aging out. Revenue numbers for 2019…

Skijoring is a weird sport. It’s something of a cross between water skiing and downhill skiing, as you are towed on a pair of snow skis through a slalom course. Traditionally this sport has been led by a horse or team of dogs, but since at least the 1950s some more intrepid skijorers have towed in behind cars. Porsche…

The still hypothetical Mazda RX-9 is one of those cars that’s been anticipated for years, as it would be the latest in a long line of cars with a cult-like following: the Mazda rotaries. There hasn’t been a Mazda rotary-engined car since the last RX-8 rolled off the line back in 2012. The RX-9 was always assumed to be…

Delphi, a parts supplier which used to be owned by GM a generation ago, went bankrupt, spun off part of its business, and then added the word “Technologies” to its name to (I guess) seem young and hip, is being purchased by BorgWarner, another parts supplier, a somewhat sad denouement for a company that used to be the…

“Fatherhood means you can’t live life a quarter mile at a time anymore,” and boy howdy is THAT true. I wish I came up with that, as it seems like I’m making fun of the trailer for the next Fast & Furious movie, seemingly titled The Fast Saga. But no, it’s just a line from Dom Toretto in the trailer for the trailer for…

As if personalized and vanity license plates could not get any worse, folks might soon be able to add emojis to them, if this new Vermont bill passes. And I always thought Vermont was such a nice place.
