BMW hopped on the small roadster bandwagon in 1989, with the Z1 model. It was the first roadster for the company since the model 507. It joined other roadsters that were available in the market such as the Mazda Miata, and the Buick Reatta. However, the BMW Z1 was never officially sold in the United …

On the surface, car crashes may seem pretty simple. You put a crash dummy in the seats and head toward a wall. We wish things were that simple, but in reality, car crash tests are much more complicated with the use of physics and biology to determine impacts and injuries.  How Car Crash Tests Work  …

Subaru is one of a few auto brands that are renown for reliability. However, not every model of even the most reliable brands can avoid being deemed unreliable. The WRX, one of Subaru’s most favored models, earned the lowest predicted reliability score of all Subarus. The 2020 WRX is not getting good marks so far. …

Back in the 90s, Acura was one of the best brands in the market. It saw early success from the NSX supercar, the Integra was bringing in most of the sales, and the Legend was, well, legendary, even back then. But one Acura model that was unveiled during the early 90s was unlike all the …

There aren’t a lot of sedans in this year’s lineup that has a V8 under the hood, but the BMW M5 makes the list, and it has more to offer than just a large displacement engine. It’s as practical as an SUV, as fun to drive as a sports car, and it might even be …

The Audi R8 is an underrated competitor in the supercar market, being lost in a sea of Lamborghinis and Ferraris. However, the R8 has always managed to hold it’s own in way of performance and handling even if it hasn’t been at the forefront of your mind when the word ‘supercar’ comes up in conversation. …

Although it’s better known as a luxury brand, Lexus has made several performance cars in the past. The Lexus IS F sport sedan was one of the first; a match for the contemporary BMW M3. However, although the succeeding F-badged models were genuinely sporty, they were also in some ways dated. The LFA supercar, for …

The V8 engine is a staple among American muscle cars and sports cars. You can find it in Corvettes, Challengers and even some Aston Martins, but those all have one thing in common: they are sports cars. Sports cars are a lot of fun to drive, but they aren’t always comfortable or practical like a …

The Lexus GS is a popular sedan in the luxury segment. According to US News and World Report, the third generation Lexus GS “consistently receives perfect reliability scores and safety marks form independent testing agencies.” However, the cost of luxury cars like the 2020 GS can get pretty steep if you buy new. What are …

The Honda Fit is a small, affordable compact sedan with a lot to offer – so long as what you’re looking for isn’t high-end luxury and power. On one hand, the Honda Fit is underwhelming in just about every aspect, and on the other hand, it is actually a really reasonable purchase. Here’s what Honda …

You’ve probably heard the phrase “there’s no replacement for displacement” and that holds true for the several sedans that you can buy this year with a strong and powerful V8 engine. What’s even better than having a V8 engine? Having all of the space and practicality of a sedan along with it. There are only …

A little over a week ago, I wrote about an interview that Bob Lutz did for the MotoMan TV Youtube channel. In it, he discusses his experience with the development of the C7 Corvette. There was a moment in that video where he mentions that the C7 was planned to have a Cadillac counterpart. That never came to fruition. …

Buick, along with other brands under the General Motors umbrella have decided to kill off many of their passenger cars. At one point, Buick had a pretty diverse vehicle lineup, now the brand is only making SUVs. The discontinuation of many of Buicks models stemmed from low sales. Some cars were plain bad, others just …

There really isn’t a bad year for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. Although like many high-performance cars, it requires careful maintenance, the Evo is arguably more reliable than its Subaru rival. However, owing to its Fast and Furious credentials, many ended up tuned to destruction or crashed. As a result, all Mitsubishi Lancer Evo models hold …

The Chevy Camaro is a desirable muscle car that basically makes any trip feel more like an adventure. Its general popularity and exceptional performance entice new drivers each year. The 2018 model, in particular, was celebrated for being an affordable sports car, but reviews from critics are mixed. Here we will help determine if the …

In many ways, a BMW is a quiet announcement of success in the driveway. From high-performance vehicles to luxury SUVs and crossovers, BMW is an automaker with something that everyone admires. If you’ve been shopping for your next previously owned BMW or still aspire to it, here is a list of BMW’s best for your …

Because rising values often keep vintage vehicles stuck in the garage, classic car and motorcycle replicas offer economical experience alternatives. For example, instead of an original Shelby Cobra, you can get Factory Five’s kit. Some, like Pur Sang’s Bugattis, are replicas in the truest sense, i.e., made with the same methods as the originals. Others, …

When you’re spending 2.6 million dollars on a car, you’d expect to be able to keep it in your garage, drive it to a nice dinner or take it to a philanthropy event, but that isn’t the case with the Ferrari LaFerrari FXX K Evo. If you can fork over the cash to buy one …

Although today their tech is understandably dated, classic cars were genuine pioneers in their day. Lancia alone helped introduce features like unibody construction, independent suspension, and full electrical systems. Modern AWD systems have Audi to thank. Even hybrid vehicles are older than many realize—Porsche’s founder created a functioning one in 1900. But ‘hybrid’ didn’t always …

Buick, child of General Motors and America’s oldest active car brand is on shaky ground. Not many people are buying cars right now, and especially not Buicks.
