Compact and subcompact cars like the Chevrolet Bolt, Nissan LEAF, Toyota Prius, BMW i3, and Tesla Model 3 typically come to mind in the electrified conversation.

Everyone has taken notice, especially automakers, and you’re seeing a change in the market. New models coming out are larger and appeal to the general public, but also for fleet customers. When you need passenger or cargo space than a compact car allows

If you’re a techno-geek whilst being a gearhead, then you probably already own a dashcam for your car. You probably also have a neat little feature known as Bluetooth for your car. Now there’s a new product on the market that wraps up a whole bunch of little tech features into one package. It’s the Garmin Speak Plus. If you’re anything like this post author, you’re a little skeptical at first. All these big names – Garmin, Amazon, Apple, Android – they all have their own agenda to push. Add a tiny little feature to a product and push it

You might think you’ve seen sexy cars, and perhaps you have. But Aksyonov Nikita, better known as GBoxxCom, has rendered a new sight to behold. It’s the Mercedes-Maybach Vision 6. If you’ve been around for awhile, you’ll recognize it as the forward-thinking model Mercedes has said is the future they’re working towards.

You may just have your tricked-out F150 in time for the holidays. The 2017 Raptor is quite the machine. At first glance, it looks like a glorified pickup truck for someone overcompensating for a different problem **ahem**.

Ferrari promised — vowed, even — that only 499 LaFerrari hypercars would ever be built. Their exclusivity is precisely why they are held in such high regard. Well, that and their incredibly wild performance abilities. But now, Ferrari is breaking their very own promise. They’ve declared that one more LaFerrari will be built to benefit a good cause. The 500th Ferrari LaFerrari will be auctioned off at a time and place yet to be determined. The proceeds of the sale have been promised to benefit the victims of Italy’s recent earthquake. The announcement came from FCA’s big boss, Sergio Marchionne,

If you listen closely, you can hear it. The murmurings have started once again, and they’re getting louder. And if the rumors are true, we’re only two years away from the all new Dodge Barracuda. It’s been decades since we last saw the Barracuda, though at that time it was under the Plymouth banner. In fact, it is the first pony car, produced two weeks before the Ford Mustang. Its original production run was from 1964 through 1974. And then it disappeared. The original Barracuda had more engine options than paint colors over its 11-year run. From slant-six engines to

That’s one fancy Lamborghini wrap… A car dealer in Newport Beach, California is celebrating after achieving 1 million Facebook likes on their page.

In fact, Lamborghini Newport Beach might just be the first dealership ever to get to 1 million likes. How did they do it? It’s a simple recipe, actually. One part amazing cars, a heavy dose of social media campaigns, and a dedicated social media manager made it all

If you’ve been patiently waiting for Hyundai’s mini-sized pickup truck based on the Santa Cruz concept, you’re not out of luck…but you’re going to need a little more patience. Originally, Hyundai had let it slip that the Santa Cruz could be entering production soon. As with most carmakers, they wouldn’t give any specifics but an imminent announcement wasn’t denied. That’s as good as saying it’s coming down the pipe. More recently, Australian mag Car Advice reports that Hyundai Motor America may have changed their plans. Instead of seeing the Santa Cruz in the next year or two, the indications are

A good set of tires really makes all the difference when you’re driving in the rain. This chromed-out Lamborghini Murcielago finds out the hard way… In a pavement ballet, the Murcielago gets top marks for a perfect pirouette. The car recording the mishap on its dashcam is in perfect position to capture the unfortunate event as the Lambo spins out across the lane in front of it. The ballet must be a tragedy, however, because the ending is the death of an Italian. Excess speed was obviously a factor. You can see on the dashcam video the speed of travel

Wondering how Volkswagen is going to dig themselves out of the manure pile? You might be able to rest a little easier once you’ve seen the 2017 Golf GTE Sport. The Golf GTE Sport is unlike anything VW has built since…well, ever, actually. It’s bold, it’s unique, and it’s efficient — actually.
