Honda finally has a new Civic. At least, as of a few months ago. However, new information about the 2022 Honda Civic has emerged since then. Thankfully, information on the 2022 Honda Civic is far more plentiful now than it was a month or two ago. So, it's time to take a brief look at everything we already know about Japan's newest sedan.

The new 2022 Kia Telluride is the hottest SUV on the market right now. It's one of those vehicles that caught a wave and stayed on it. Of course, that's been helped out a great deal by the chip shortage. Unfortunately, you couldn't get a Telluride right now if you wanted to. That is, supposing you should be buying one in the first place.

Rivian needs to go for big air to upend Tesla. Presently, they're off to a pretty good start with the 2022 Rivian R1T. It's territory Tesla has yet to cross into: the electric truck. Moreover, the R1T looks to beat Tesla on all metrics. That means range, usability, quality, and most importantly range. Also, range. However, Tesla previously won out in the "gimmicks" segment, with in-car games and fart noises. Now, Rivian wins there too.

By now, I'm sure you've heard of the EV tax credit. Basically, the government will pay you to buy a hybrid or EV. The plan is, it'll get Americans into EVs and hybrids, working in conjunction with Biden's new EV infrastructure moves to make American transport greener. However, the polar opposite of green now qualifies for the tax credit: the 2021 Bentley Bentayga Hybrid.

Good news, the Rivian configurator is finally up. The arrival of the brand's two new models, the R1T and R1S have been hotly anticipated by both journalists and the consumer alike. Now, we'll finally have some concrete pricing on both the R1T and R1S models. Moreover, we finally know what specific extras will cost.

The Chevy Bolt has had a bad run of it lately. Currently, it's part of one of the largest EV recalls in recent memory. Now, Chevrolet is trying to recover sales on the 2021 Chevrolet Bolt. Everyone has a price, and the Golden Bowtie thinks yours is about $11,000 off the price of a new Bolt. The question is, is that enough to entice buyers?

Everyone's gotta have a truck. It's inextricably linked to our identity as Americans for whatever reason. Unfortunately, it's kind of hard to get a truck, hell, any car right now. The chip shortage has kneecapped new car inventory and ruined production. Thankfully, I found out you can actually buy a 2021 Honda Ridgeline at sticker. There's your truck.

A one-of-one car, the Aston Martin Victor was made for a single customer from a One-77 Aston had in storage.

The 2021 Koenigsegg Gemera is the family car of the elite. For starters, the Gemera comes with a roughly $1.7 million price tag. Ow. However, you're getting a lot for your money. Supposing you have that kind of money. Frankly, if I did, I'd be writing a first drive review of my new 2021 Koenigsegg Gemera. Regardless, for that $1.7 million, you get some of the best technology the auto industry has to offer. Honestly, Christian von Koenigsegg, the company's founder is a technological wizard. This is just a taste of the insane tech in the new Gemera megacar.

Cars have four wheels. It's something of a fact. However, Formula 1 is all about finding millisecond advantages over the rest of the field. Sometimes, that means adding two axles, four more tires, and a window to throw the rulebook out of. And that's exactly what the Tyrrell P34 did. It's weird, it's fast, and it looks dumb as hell. Really, what more do you need out of a car?

The new car chip shortage is a hot topic right now. And no, that doesn’t mean that Bosch is going to open a store selling black band t-shirts to Scene kids. It’s the reason that the autos market, both new and used, is going insane right now. Moreover, it’s the reason you should not be …

Don't buy a 2021 Nissan Leaf. At least, not right now. You've heard the news by now, hopefully from me, that both the new and used car market is, well, a bit of a shitshow right now. Things could be better for dealerships. Things could be better full stop. But you shouldn't buy a 2021 Nissan Leaf EV because of that, and not because it's a bad car. However, the Leaf is a great car, now just isn't the time to get one.

The 2022 GMC Hummer EV can crab walk. Basically, the thing turns its wheels by a few degrees to maneuver its massive frame through off-road obstacles. However, more likely, it'll be used to get the big bastard out of a parking garage. Regardless, the technology behind it is something that only an EV can manage. Now, it's time to learn how the 2022 GMC Hummer EV crab walks.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Walk into a Bosch plant and you'd be able to slap together a whole car using nothing but the dumpster out back. Put another way, the German parts manufacturer makes just about everything cars. I routinely find parts on my project car that are made by Bosch, and that car is old enough to vote. However, even the mighty Bosch has been felled by the chip shortage. Now, the brand says that production methods and supply chains are inadequate for the modern world.

If you're starting to get serious about cars, you've probably looked to do some modifications. The "driver mod" is arguably the best one. It's enthusiast slang for the act of just getting better at driving. With that comes helping yourself out by making driving quickly as safe and easy as possible. Thankfully, driving shoes are here to help with that. However, there's two camps on the issue. Some say they're an unnecessary gimmick, and others view them as absolutely essential. Either way, you need shoes to drive, and these are the best.

At one point in time, BMW was the best luxury car brand. So much so, that the brand became a status symbol. Basically, if you wanted people to think you were someone, you drove a BMW. However, times change, and there's a lot of new players in the luxury car segment. Take Genesis for example. The brand has quietly been sneaking up on BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Lexus. With so much choice in the marketplace, it's time to figure out if consumers still prefer the old ways, or if attitudes have shifted.

Whether you like it or not, Coronavirus cases are continuing to surge. The Delta Variant of the virus is becoming a growing concern, and now, many industries are taking notice. Ford is one of them. Now, the Blue Oval has elected to delay the return of many of its workers to the office. However, that raises some questions. For one, what does this mean for production? Ford has already made several delays to production, and this can very easily make things worse.

Renting a car is a pretty standard experience for most people. Usually, you show up, pick up the car, then drop it off again when you leave. Sure, there's a wilder side to it, but those are usually edge-case scenarios. However, Tarikh Campbell certainly saw the wilder side of it when Avis literally stole his rental car. In doing so, Avis set off a storm of negative PR after Campbell took to Twitter to discuss the incident. The worst part? As far as I can tell, the rental company has literally zero justification for doing so.

The 2021 Nissan Z is the hot new sports car. JDM enthusiasts, no, enthusiasts as a whole, have been waiting for a new "Z" practically since the last one debuted in 2002. Now, it's here, and people can't get enough of it. The Z badge is a staple of the enthusiast car segment, and now the new one is here to satiate the Nissan fanbase. However, is the new Z resting on old Nissan laurels? Nissan may be hard up for cash, but will that financial strain translate to an all-too-familiar driving experience?

By now I'm sure you've seen the ads. Carvana is advertising hard right now. And who can blame them? The used car market is at an all-time high right now, and dealers are making money hand-over-fist. However, the brand has also had its fair share of bad PR lately. Recently, the brand was banned from operating in North Carolina for 180 days. Now, they've been accused of operating an illegal storage facility.
