At the moment of this writing, the most popular show on Netflix right now is somewhat unexpectedly a period drama set in the ’50s and ’60s about an orphan girl who becomes an international chess prodigy. It’s good! Even if you don’t know much about chess, like me, someone whose deepest foray into chess was pitting an…

Kia is hungry for blood and developing new vehicles for war. While that will surely be bad news for the enemies of South Korea and its allies, it could also mean good news for anyone hoping for more off-road capable SUVs and light trucks in America.

So, you think you’re a bad bitch for democracy, do you? Got your “I Voted” sticker pics all over your ’Grams. Maybe you put it on your mask, how fun! Well, a woman in Florida last week made her husband stop the car on the way to the hospital where she was heading to deliver a baby.

The VW Amarok doesn’t look particularly special, its powertrain has been around forever in many other Volkswagen products, and it’s neither the best off-road, nor the most competent on-road. And yet, the Amarok I recently drove in Germany stood out among even the best trucks I’ve driven this year. Here’s why.

Ford is making an electric F-150, but its electric truck game only goes so far; Toyota is boosting production; and Volkswagen is very close to its emissions targets in Europe. All that and more in The Morning Shift for November 3, 2020.

Yesterday’s biggest post was a delightful little jaunt through the world of Russian airbrush paint jobs. According to our contributor, Misha, the benefits of putting the dang Joker or the squirrel creature from Ice Age on the flank of your car goes beyond how objectively cool it is. It also reduces the risk of your…

Hey pals! I feel like there’s something we’re something you’re supposed to do today. Pay the national water bill? Return America’s library books? If I remember I’ll let you know, if you promise to do the same.

It’s election day in the U.S.A., and to celebrate that auspicious occasion today’s Nice Price or No Dice candidate is that most American of vehicles, the pickup truck. Let’s see if this all-American Chevy has what it takes to win your vote.

If you want to do some off-roading, it’s recommended that you air down your tires. And if you air down your tires, you’re going to end up standing around shooting the shit while you air them back up before heading back out on the highway. During one such recent session, Swench-owner Zach walked up to me, handed me a…

There are basically two ways to mass-produce a car: You can hire someone else to do it, or you can do a lot of it yourself and outsource the rest. Almost every automaker is in that latter group, including Tesla, even if it aspires to do everything on its own. So is Volvo, though Volvo said Monday that it would move…

As you may be aware, we’re currently in the waning days of the most-common vehicle you’re likely to see that’s not from a company known for building cars: the Common North American Mail Truck, also known as the Grumman Long Life Vehicle (LLV). We’ve already seen the venerable LLV begin to be replaced by (slightly…

Jim Farley has officially been in charge of Ford for one month now, and he’s already making big sweeping statements that have a lot of impact on the future of the blue oval. In a recent discussion with Wards Auto, Farley indicated that—perhaps as an attack on GM’s super expensive Hummer EV—Ford isn’t in the game of…

The automotive world has been abuzz since Ford blew us all way with the return of the Bronco. One of the attention-grabbing design features of the two-door Cyber Orange debut Bronco was the “donut hole” in the door of that concept. However, in a move that’s disappointed Bronco fans, Ford confirmed that the…

“Meet The Hero Who Owns Two Of The Biggest Auto Maintenance Nightmares Of The Modern Era,” read our 2019 headline about proud VW Touareg and Passat W8 owner, Gareth Watkins. A year after that story published, Watkins sent me an update on his fleet, and, well — it’s as predictable as it is tragic.
