One Way You can Get to Drive a Rolls-Royce

The Rolls-Royce and the Spirit of Ecstasy ornament have been the figure of high class luxury for many years. Only the very few ultra-rich can afford to buy and drive a Rolls-Royce model and be driven around in these high class automobiles that are made to be fantastic to drive and ride in. As the perfect luxury brand with every model being finely tuned and ready to go most of us will never be able to drive one of these beauties, let alone ride around in one in such a way as to get more than a glimpse from time to time.

Sometimes We Just Goof

In the automotive world it’s hard to believe a car would make it through all the testing, presenting and discerning that takes place and be offered to the public even though it’s not the best product that can be built.

With that in mind, here are several cars that truly were the black sheep of their automotive family during the time they were built, bringing embarrassment and shame to their kin. (more…)

The F-150 Black Ops; The Baddest Truck on the Road or Off

We all have already admired the newest F-150. Taking a lighter design build and making a rugged and tough truck was no easy task, but what they churned out has been something amazing for us to admire and enjoy. This new F-150 has taken a beating and has kept on coming, surpassed the off road and work truck expectations and even shown that it can be transformed and featured in a variety of ways not unlike the Mustang which is one of the most often altered cars each year; surpassed the off road and work truck expectations and even shown that it can be transformed and featured in a variety of ways not unlike the Mustang which is one of the most often altered cars each year.

Why has this car been such a great selling sedan?

A Look at the Chevrolet Colorado in Diesel Form

One of the missing pieces, when the Colorado and Canyon came back to the GM lineup, was a diesel powered version. Both trucks immediately made a huge impact on the marketplace and gave us vehicles that are stellar at being midsized workhorses capable of heading out to the off road territories when called upon to do so, but the diesel was not offered right away. For the 2016 model year, there will be a diesel powertrain for both of these amazing trucks to let you have much more power and a better low end feel that gets the work done. (more…)

No EV Infiniti Models on the Horizon

Infiniti has been at the lead of many of the various advances made throughout its history as it has offered us a style and luxury that is different from many others and in most cases been much more advanced than others. Nissan has never been shy about letting Infiniti lead the way for technology and has only pulled the plug on some technology a few times, letting the brand be a great place to see the new, the modern and to enjoy the sales from being the first to have each of a variety of needed advancements.

Buick Is Still Regal

Buick Rarely is the adjective regal used to describe anything but royalty and those who carry themselves in a quiet and dignified manner. Seldom can a car personify the very definition of that word either, as it typically means magnificent or suitable for a king or queen, but somehow one car has managed to step up to the plate. Buick’s Regal sedan is the bastion of regality with its quiet class and stately appearance. So while this vehicle may be fit for a king or queen, it is made to fit the budget and needs of the every man. (more…)
