Image Credit For anyone who spends any amount of time on the roads, it is a good idea to try your best to drive as well as possible. Of course, this is much easier said than done. But with the application of some basic knowhow and a little practice, anyone… Continue reading
– We can’t all be winners. The lucky among us learn this lesson early, after coach-pitch strikeouts or unscored but obviously one-sided soccer games. Others—the mildly gifted or the carefully insulated—come to the realization later in life, when it hurts more. It takes only one track-and-field meet to realize that… Continue reading
– Overview: The GMC Canyon was revived for a second generation in 2014 alongside its Chevrolet Colorado twin and immediately reinvigorated the moribund mid-size pickup market. Where once these trucks were left to languish for a decade or more without significant changes—or were killed outright—the fresh General Motors duo were… Continue reading
–Overview: The Ford Transit Connect Wagon—the “Wagon” denoting the passenger model as distinct from the commercial cargo vans your plumber and florist use—is the closest thing to a minivan that Dearborn sells today. READ MORE ›› – Continue reading
Uber has already revolutionized the way many Americans get across town. But, of course, Uber cars are mired in the same gridlock as all other cars. As some have noted, the ride-sharing service could even be making traffic worse. Yet Uber is drawing up some big plans to take that very… Continue reading
– Buyers of the front-wheel-drive A3 no longer need to envy the Quattro model’s 2.0-liter engine for 2017. That’s because front-wheel-drive A3s now come with their own, brand-new version of Audi’s latest 2.0-liter turbocharged four.

-In previous generations of the Mercedes-Benz C-class, however, the model labeled a coupe was more of a staid, two-door sedan. The new one makes a more dramatic break from the four-door model: Its roofline is 1.5 inches lower and tapers quickly to the rounded tail. The taillamps are horizontal rather… Continue reading
– Every Porsche Macan is turbocharged, but there is only one capital-T Turbo—and that would be the most powerful one, rated at a healthy 400 horsepower.

– Ford has finally made its move. – After months of listening to Wall Street analysts gnash their collective teeth about the company’s lack of acquisitions and partnerships related to self-driving technology, the Detroit automaker unleashed a series of announcements Tuesday related to its efforts to develop and deploy autonomous… Continue reading
