Different_brian/Getty images For most of us, the “Mustang II” conjures up images of a classic gone dirty – an unpleasant reminder of the time when Ford decided to base its next Mustang on the Pinto (whether the “rebadged Pinto” claim was justified or not, it stuck). But […]
Darthart/Getty Images When comparing the Mopar 68RFE automatic transmission to the Aisin AS69RC, we should start with some similarities. Both transmissions are six-speed variants used primarily in heavy-duty Dodge/Ram pickup trucks equipped with 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel engines. While the 2025 Ram heavy-duty trucks kept the Hemi and […]
The year is 1972. You go to your Chevy dealer and fork over $6,000 for a Corvette with the hottest engine around: the LS5 454 big block. Sure, it only has 270 horsepower, 31 less than a modern Toyota Camry V6. However, with 390 pound-feet of torque and a […]
Hybrid cars are big right now, with Toyota changing previous gas/hybrid options to hybrid only 2025 Toyota Camry and now the 2026 Toyota RAV4. Using a hybrid drive makes any car better, with lower fuel consumption, normally more power than the petrol version and engines with a longer lifespan. We all know that. But there […]

They have long represented freedom, power and straight-line speed and have built a reputation for delivering big performance without the exotic price tags of sports cars across the […]
German SUVs have long been a good option for those who want a jacked-up vehicle with luxury, performance and advanced technology to match. But their excellent technology doesn’t mean you have to spend money on just any German SUV. It is common knowledge that cars from German car manufacturers […]
Mercedes Benz No matter what happens here in the United States, Europe is still worried about this whole “habitable planet” thing – at least a little bit. Sure, Germany and its car manufacturing economy may resist the concept of breathable air, but it seems even these laggards […]
Stoqliq/Shutterstock The Gen-I and II Chevy small-block have been largely the same basic engine since 1955 (except you, 400, you made things weird), but Ford V8s don’t follow the same rules. Asking for a ‘Ford 351’ is like asking for ‘a beer’. You must indicate which type. […]
