The BMW X1 has been called many things, even by the company that makes it. This vehicle performs in the compact crossover SUV class as one of the most impressive small vehicles that sits up higher on the road, but it really doesn’t have any utility to speak of. Instead, BMW prefers to call this an SAV, which stands for Sport Activity Vehicle, giving the X1 the right name and title and showing that it doesn’t have to be a utility model to be an admirable vehicle to drive on the road.

Several months ago Tesla unveiled the Summon feature for some of their vehicles and it seems this feature is about to be taken even farther.

This feature is so unique that another company is working to bring this along with other technologies to the Nashville area.

When you hear about a “Sleeper Pick” in Fantasy Football circles you know that means someone has picked a player that is not expected to perform well, but somehow, even if it’s only for one week, they play extremely well and give that person lots of points. In the automotive world there are some sleepers out there as cars that are able to give us great power numbers and feel like they should have been the ones chosen to drive more often. These sleepers fly under the radar and show up when we least expect them to, giving us more of what we want.

August 5, 2022November 1, 2016 by Cactus Williams

What do you think of when you hear the words electric car? For some of us the vision is of a Nissan Leaf and the puttering along it can do. While this car is one of the most popular examples of an electric car it’s not exactly an exciting model unless you only consider saving the environment exciting. Even though the Leaf is an admirable vehicle for many to drive there has to be something more enjoyable on the stage than the Leaf to turn our heads and give us the excitement we want to have from behind the wheel of an electric car.
