Subaru is one of a few auto brands that are renown for reliability. However, not every model of even the most reliable brands can avoid being deemed unreliable. The WRX, one of Subaru’s most favored models, earned the lowest predicted reliability score of all Subarus. The 2020 WRX is not getting good marks so far. …
Back in the 90s, Acura was one of the best brands in the market. It saw early success from the NSX supercar, the Integra was bringing in most of the sales, and the Legend was, well, legendary, even back then. But one Acura model that was unveiled during the early 90s was unlike all the …
There aren’t a lot of sedans in this year’s lineup that has a V8 under the hood, but the BMW M5 makes the list, and it has more to offer than just a large displacement engine. It’s as practical as an SUV, as fun to drive as a sports car, and it might even be …
The Audi R8 is an underrated competitor in the supercar market, being lost in a sea of Lamborghinis and Ferraris.

Although it’s better known as a luxury brand, Lexus has made several performance cars in the past. The Lexus IS F sport sedan was one of the first; a match for the contemporary BMW M3. However, although the succeeding F-badged models were genuinely sporty, they were also in some ways dated. The LFA supercar, for …
The V8 engine is a staple among American muscle cars and sports cars. You can find it in Corvettes, Challengers and even some Aston Martins, but those all have one thing in common: they are sports cars. Sports cars are a lot of fun to drive, but they aren’t always comfortable or practical like a …
The Lexus GS is a popular sedan in the luxury segment. According to US News and World Report, the third generation Lexus GS “consistently receives perfect reliability scores and safety marks form independent testing agencies.” However, the cost of luxury cars like the 2020 GS can get pretty steep if you buy new. What are …
The Honda Fit is a small, affordable compact sedan with a lot to offer – so long as what you’re looking for isn’t high-end luxury and power.

You’ve probably heard the phrase “there’s no replacement for displacement” and that holds true for the several sedans that you can buy this year with a strong and powerful V8 engine.

A little over a week ago, I wrote about an interview that Bob Lutz did for the MotoMan TV Youtube channel. In it, he discusses his experience with the development of the C7 Corvette.

Buick, along with other brands under the General Motors umbrella have decided to kill off many of their passenger cars.

There really isn’t a bad year for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. Although like many high-performance cars, it requires careful maintenance, the Evo is arguably more reliable than its Subaru rival.

Because rising values often keep vintage vehicles stuck in the garage, classic car and motorcycle replicas offer economical experience alternatives.

Others, …
When you’re spending 2.6 million dollars on a car, you’d expect to be able to keep it in your garage, drive it to a nice dinner or take it to a philanthropy event, but that isn’t the case with the Ferrari LaFerrari FXX K Evo. If you can fork over the cash to buy one …
Although today their tech is understandably dated, classic cars were genuine pioneers in their day. Lancia alone helped introduce features like unibody construction, independent suspension, and full electrical systems. Modern AWD systems have Audi to thank. Even hybrid vehicles are older than many realize—Porsche’s founder created a functioning one in 1900. But ‘hybrid’ didn’t always …
Buick, child of General Motors and America’s oldest active car brand is on shaky ground. Not many people are buying cars right now, and especially not Buicks. Even so, there are some solid options in the Buick lineup. They may not be the most powerful or even cheap, but these cars are decent. But, decency …

Car sales are continuing to tank due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis. But some car brands like Buick were already in a tough spot even before the pandemic.
