Volvo is big on safety. The Swedish automaker essentially invented the traditional three-point seat belt, and it has continued to innovate in this area ever since. Now Volvo is turning its attention to making the screens in the car safer – not through better technology or more buttons, mind you, but through fonts. Yes, fonts. […]
Car prices have skyrocketed during the pandemic, but haven’t really fallen. Consumers are still paying outlandish amounts on average for both new and used vehicles, and that’s unlikely to change anytime soon. According to a new one Experian report, average car loan payments $748 per month for a new vehicle in the third quarter of […]
A perfectly maintained and completely unrestored Ferrari 250 GTO from 1962 is for sale. But as you might expect, it doesn’t exactly make Honda Civic money. The star of the Mecum Auctions taking place from January 6 to 18 in Kissimmee, Florida, could exceed $70 million (€60 million). Why so much? This particular car, chassis […]

Until recently, the British brand focused on competing with German carmakers in the premium segment with a range of luxury sedans, SUVs and sports cars. Unfortunately, that strategy never worked, as the company failed to keep pace with its counterparts in Europe and […]
Believe it or not, Audi’s beloved five-cylinder engine is already 50 years old. Next year it will be fifty years since the first five-cylinder debuted in the Audi 100 from 1976. To celebrate this milestone, a group of enterprising students has created a very special concept car. Meet the Audi GT50. The project was developed […]
Jaguar is in no rush to reinvent itself as a super-luxury brand. Although it concerns a single model, the aging F-Pace, the struggling company is not rushing the Type 00 to market. Time certainly flies, as it’s been just over a year since the concept broke through, signaling a complete departure from the old ways. […]
Mitsubishi has a long list of achievements in motorsports. While the automaker started racing on the pavement, the glory really came when Mitsubishi took to the mud. There was a time when Mitsubishi dominated the rally, but its most impressive racing efforts unfolded during the long, grueling stages of the Dakar Rally. The Mitsubishi Pajero […]
Despite its de facto status as an uncool car, the minivan makes a lot of sense for many families. Today’s people movers drive well, have excellent characteristics and ensure that everyone in your team feels comfortable.
