Buick

A Wagon with a European Flair

Wagons haven’t been popular on the market for years, but the fact that the compact SUVs are no larger than a wagon and some wagons have the drive you want to enjoy has made it possible for some wagons to make it on the market and even be introduced as new models. What type of driving do you want on a wagon? You want to have a European style of driving, which means you need a car that can deliver this if you have a wagon. Thankfully, Buick will bring you the Regal Wagon which is the Opel Insignia Country Tourer with new badging on it to give you the drive you want. (more…)

Find a Way

When something is needed to improve lives and give people new items that will help give them more time back, create a convenient way to perform tasks or to just be better than what is already in production, there needs to be someone willing to find a way to bring the item to the masses. Jeep is an American company that has a global reach with their off road read vehicles that are perfect for tackling nearly every terrain and many companies around the world have taken Jeep models and made something new out of them to fit the performance needs they have.

The Off-Road Enthusiast 4×4

We’ve talked often about driving purists and how much they tend to hate the automation of everything, even so much as to want the manual transmission to live on much longer. While this group can complain about their electronic aids that make it easier for everyone to hit the track with confidence, the off-road enthusiasts that have been driving forever have similar complaints to lodge. Their complaints are more about terrain assistance technology which makes it so their vehicles do a vast majority of the work in an off road setting, taking the control virtually out of their hands.

Hyundai

Before Its Release New Plans are in Place

Industry and technology are moving a faster pace than they ever have before. It used to be that an automaker could introduce a new model on the market and expect it to be the one that leads the way for a few years before all other automakers caught up, but that’s no longer the case. The market is changing every year and before a vehicle ever makes it to the showroom plans are already in place to make changes to improve what that vehicle is and how it performs because that’s the speed of the competition and everyone has to keep up.

2017 Nissan Titan: A New Version of the Truck You Trust

It seems like eons ago that the first Nissan Titan made its way onto the market to be a new half-ton pickup for us to make use of and admire. For the first few years this truck offered the performance and power we wanted to enjoy, but without upgrades or a new generation for so long the Nissan Titan became an also-ran truck that found its way to the bottom of the truck lineup and ended up being a model that was mostly forgotten by most of the world, but certainly not by Nissan.

2017 BMW i8: Big Performance and a Small Engine

The i8 has become a more familiar model than it was in the past. This car is one of the most impressive designs to ever come to the market and it offers us a look at what BMW has in mind for the future. The i8 is the halo car that doesn’t use a halo style engine. Most of the top models from automakers use massive engines to get the grunt and the growl just right in the car, but this one uses a tiny engine that’s almost too small for the smallest compact cars on the market.

2017 Chevrolet Silverado: Still the Right Stuff

As much as some companies want you to think the style or size of their trucks is better for what you need to do, Chevrolet continues to offer you conservative and attractive model that makes most truck owners smile. This group understands the need for a truck to be tough, rugged and capable and the fact that style points don’t matter on the outside. This same group does enjoy the fact that Chevrolet does a fantastic job of offering some models as the high end, nearly luxury versions that make it easier to enjoy the ride after a long day of working on the jobsite.

BMW

The BMW Pickup Truck

Yes, I said there was a BMW pickup truck that was built. As far as we know there was only ever one built, but this little truck was something to behold and a bit of a Frankenstein’s Monster of sorts. BMW has never been a company that embraced the idea of hauling and carrying as a goal for their vehicles, but they apparently decided they needed one such vehicle at just the right time and now this single BMW pickup truck is a bit of legend in the BMW world. What was this truck and how come it never came to be a production model? Let’s find out for ourselves. (more…)
