Big Money and Big Moves for FCA

For the past few years, FCA has been the automotive group that we’ve looked at as missing out on the profits and the success that have been enjoyed by some of the other automakers in the industry. As a direct competitor in the US with Ford and GM, FCA is looked at as the third of the Detroit Big Three to make it one that has to be able to compete. When you look at what FCA offers for the driving experience, you might think they are having troubles financially, and that was true until the past couple of years. (more…)

Expected Protection

When you shut the door of your vehicle and head out for a drive you expect your door to remain shut while you’re on the road until you park and are ready to get out of the vehicle at the destination you choose. What you don’t expect is for your car doors to open while you’re driving down the road and you certainly don’t think your doors are going to trap you in the car and keep you from getting out and be able to enjoy where you’ve driven to. Both of these situations can be extremely frightening and leave you feeling helpless. (more…)

Lexus Is The First Place of Autonomy for Toyota

It shouldn’t come as any surprise to you that Toyota will choose to put autonomous technology in the Lexus brand before it trickles down to the vehicles that wear the Toyota badge like the Camry or Corolla. This follows along the same lines of other brands we’ve seen, but, for the most part, only from brands that don’t have a mainstream arm to go along with the luxury models offered. Adding autonomy at higher levels makes more sense because the higher price and expectation of the Lexus brand makes it the right place to start and build on what we’ll see in the future. (more…)

2018 Mazda CX-9: A Large SUV that Handles the Road

One of the challenges of driving a larger vehicle is the ability to handle corners and carve up the area the way you would want to in a sedan. While I’m not suggesting you take the new 2018 Mazda CX-9 out to challenge it until it rolls on the curves you drive, this is an SUV that offers you the light but rigid body you want and the G-Vectoring technology that can make it possible for you to hold a corner with ease. This is an SUV that brings you the drive you’re looking for and the fuel mileage you’ll want when this is the three-row family vehicle you choose. (more…)

You Know You’re Special When…

What seems to be one of the greatest ways that we can celebrate the success and fame of a person or organization? Over the course of history, or at least since postage stamps were used to send letters and packages around the world the most famous or influential people have been commemorated on stamps. We’ve seen events and historical figures on these stamps and we celebrate them on an annual basis with a variety of holiday style stamps as well. There have been a number of cars that have made their way to stamps over the years as well and one, in particular, is being honored. (more…)
