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…)

The Murky World of Self-Driving Cars (Part 2)

We are heading toward a world where cars will eventually be able to drive themselves and that frightens some people and excites others. There are many questions regarding the possibility of turning over the controls of a vehicle to the computers and systems that are offered to handle the work involved in getting you where you need to go. We can romanticize about what it will be like to ride in a car and not have to pay attention to the road, but that seems to be a long ways off with more questions than answers; here are some of those questions: (more…)

The Murky World of Self-Driving Cars (Part 1)

As we look to the future and know that cars will eventually be able to drive themselves, the actual application of this quality isn’t nearly as simple as turning over technology to machines as the humans did in the movie Wall-E. Hopefully, we don’t ever get to the point of being that dependent upon machines but the future of seeing cars drive themselves is being brought to us as a romantic feeling of being cared for on our way to and from work every day in order to have the comfort and relaxation we want. Before this can happen, there are a number of questions that will have to be answered. (more…)

The TDI Models are Making a Comeback

If you thought the TDI models offered in the US were dead and never to return, you might actually be wrong in some cases. The Volkswagen models that are offered for sale were thought to be only those that run on gasoline or use hybrid powertrains after the scandal that took place nearly two years ago. While the vehicles offered with the GTI engines and the regular gasoline engines are great to drive, this has left us longing for the old performance of the TDI models that we loved on the road for several years.

An Automotive Woodstock that Happens Every Year

Those who are familiar with what Woodstock was or that attended this historic music festival most likely have some wonderful memories of the event and what took place. This long music explosion that played to massive crowds in Woodstock, NY was one of the largest gatherings of musicians and fans in recorded history. While many younger readers might not understand this reference, and I might be dating myself a bit, you can understand the idea of a place that offers what feels like a large party to celebrate music and fun that can take several days.
