The Tesla Model 3 Continues a Tradition of Quickness

The Tesla Model 3 was a game changer in the EV market, and it continues to impress. In the past, the only benefit you received for an EV was the saving of fuel money in favor of electric power, but these vehicles were slow, plodding, and only the most committed environmentalist would choose them for the drive. Tesla changed this with the Model S and continues to make sure we have excellent models to drive with the new Model 3. The Model S is considered to be one of the quickest cars on the road for the past few years and now that we’ve seen a video of the Model 3 running a quarter-mile in 13.3-seconds at 104 mph, we can discuss cars that are slower than the Model 3.

Vehicle Depreciation Works Two Ways

When you buy a new vehicle, if your intention is to be able to sell it and get the most out of it after three years, you’re going to want to make sure you avoid the models on this list. Most vehicles will depreciate at a rate of about 35 percent after three years, but the models on this list have deprecated much more than that which means you can’t expect to have as much in return when you’re ready to trade in the model you’re driving.

Vehicle Depreciation Rates Matter

When shopping for a vehicle, take several factors into consideration. If you know you’ll only have it a few years, the vehicle depreciation rate matters. When you lease, the payments you make are applied to the anticipated depreciation of the vehicle, meaning a higher depreciation rate will cause you to have higher payments. The same is true if you’re going to trade in the vehicle after only three years of driving. Here are the vehicles that have the highest depreciation rate for the first three years which should be a factor for you to consider when you’re ready to drive. (more…)

Automotive Logos Have Meaning

Often the logo we see of an automotive company has a deeper meaning behind it than just what you see. Some of the most complex logos such as Porsche and Alfa Romeo offer intricate histories and tell a story with that simple picture. Other logos are pretty simple to figure out such as the Ford oval but some simple logos actually have more meaning that you might expect. these logos can trace their history back nearly a century or more to show us what the thought process was when the logo became a reality that we see on the cars built by that company today.

A Five-Cylinder You Can Love

Most of the time the cylinder numbers in our vehicles come in even numbers. This allows for the balanced firing of pistons to help avoid the vibrations that would reach the cabin and cause driving to be unbearable. Much like the advancements that are being made in the world of turbocharging and added horsepower while creating lighter vehicles, now we have vehicles that are more capable of using an odd number of cylinders while still returning some great power and performance to give you the feeling you want in a car that has an odd cylinder setup.

Another Model We Don’t Get

This is getting a bit ridiculous? European automakers have for years left out the US when it comes to some of their models, usually because of the stricter regulations that have to be met to be offered on our roads. It seems that cars which are smaller wouldn’t have a problem functioning in the US, but Audi has a car that once again won’t be offered to the North American market. This should come as no real surprise since the stablemates aren’t either. This new model is the RS1 and it is expected to be sold in Europe starting in 2018. (more…)

A Smart Choice in the Audi Lineup

Driving an Audi gives you the exceptional German luxury experience you want from a lineup of vehicles that have the most impressive interiors on the market. As we discuss higher power and more agility on the roads it seems the idea of more fuel mileage in the luxury segments has gone by the wayside in order to have vehicles that are powerful and able to carve up the road. Someone at Audi was wise enough to take a step back and assess the situation to notice there’s room for at least one more A4 model. (more…)
