2016 Hyundai Tucson: A Compact Crossover on the Rise

August 5, 2022September 12, 2015 by Connor Livingston

The Hyundai Tucson has always been a bargain for many shoppers and has been given a reputation of being an SUV that makes a great choice for those on a very limited budget. As it begins its third generation in existence, Hyundai is hoping to change this reputation by offering an all new SUV that still comes at a great price but has a decent amount of power, shows up with great style, and had excellent fuel mileage to answer all the questions asked and be a first choice for more buyers who felt they were settling on this SUV before.

A New Mercedes-Benz at Frankfurt

August 5, 2022September 9, 2015 by Cactus Williams

The Frankfurt Motor Show is better known as the IAA which is the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (obviously not an American English spelling at all). This might make you think the new Mercedes-Benz concept car was named after the show, but it wasn’t. The confusion is the fact that this new car is called the Concept IAA which actually stands for Intelligent Aerodynamic Automobile, which might be a boring name, but it’s certainly not a boring car at all.

The Wrong Decade but the Right Cars

August 5, 2022September 6, 2015 by Cactus Williams

The 1980s was a very unique decade in the automotive world. While the time was mired by cars that felt underpowered and less capable than ever before because of the massive emissions regulations put on the industry there was also a great deal of awesome vehicles that become the bedrock for the vehicles we see today. The Volkswagen GTI was begun in the 80s as was the BMW 3-Series. This decade also featured such high end exotics as the Lamborghini Countach and the Ferrari Testarossa both of which adorned the walls of many a teenage boy during this decade. With the good in mind from the decade that wasn’t for the auto industry here are some of the coolest cars of the 1980s.

When You Need a New Car

August 5, 2022September 2, 2015 by Chastity Mansfield

There is nothing wrong with appreciating an older model car and actually driving it until it won’t go anymore, but there comes a time when a new car can really make the difference. If you have been driving the same car for the past ten, twenty or thirty years then you are missing out on all the amazing new technology and performance that you can enjoy in a new car. With the 2016 model year nearly upon us, I offer you ten of the new cars you will see on dealer lots for this next model year.

Camouflage isn’t Going to Get it Done

August 5, 2022August 26, 2015 by Cactus Williams

What seems to happen when we are anticipating a new model of any vehicle? The vehicle is tested somewhere in a supposedly remote location with what is to be a layer of camouflage over it that is supposed to keep us from being able to see what the car will really look like. Such was the case with the new Toyota Subcompact Crossover SUV (yes, another one of those) that was seen testing with a Scion xB. In no way can automakers continue to expect us to believe they really think they are hiding much at all from us with this covering.

The Sporty Ford Focus ST is Exciting and Interesting

August 5, 2022August 24, 2015 by Chastity Mansfield

The Ford Focus ST is the sporty hatchback version of the Focus that gives us an exciting drive. With a sport tuned suspension and higher end engine the ST is attractive with a sport styling and a low roofline to be a hot hatch that looks like it should be a lot of fun to drive and can handle corners with quickness and agility that isn’t found in even some of the higher end sports cars. One of the most interesting parts of the ST is the slight bit of history of its tire story and what is offered.

Car Hacking Hits BMW and Mercedes-Benz

August 5, 2022August 22, 2015 by Connor Livingston

Hacking into car systems has been part of researching vehicles this Summer. With so many cars offering only minor security from the different computerized systems in a car digital security researcher Samy Kamkar has developed many ways to hack into different car systems and take over control of several systems. Thankfully, Kamkar is on the side of automakers to develop the necessary securities to make these systems less vulnerable; hopefully discovering the portals to which a system can be hacked before the hackers who are out to cause harm and eventual fatalities get to work on the different ways to hack into cars.

BMW Gives You More and Only Asks for a Little More

The BMW sedans are great to drive and some of the best luxury models on the market. The 3-Series has been one of the top sellers for BMW for across the board and the 4-Series is really not too far behind. Even though our inflation has leveled off BMW has done some interesting math and some great work to bring you better equipment aboard the top end M3 and M4 in order to make the offering you want in these two highly anticipated and enjoyed luxury sports cars that are built to please and give you all the equipment and power you could want.

The RAM 3500 Heavy Duty Gets More Powerful

August 5, 2022August 15, 2015 by Rocco Penn

As the truck with the most towing capacity in its class along with the most torque, the Ram 3500 Heavy Duty is a truck that has been admired. This truck can haul anything you want hauled including moving the shores of a lake, repositioning mountains and might just be the right truck to solve the fault-line problems of the California coast. While that is all a bit far-fetched the Ram 3500 does have the pulling power to get the job done and has been admired for this ability above others and is the choice more work crews make when they heavy jobs are on the table.

A Luxury Comparison Test of Leaders in the Class

August 5, 2022August 13, 2015 by Zachary Lee

The admiration for the BMW M3 has been amazingly high for many years as the M3 has been the leader in the class of high performance midsized luxury sedan models. There were times that other competitors tried to outclass the M3, there was the Audi B7 RS4 that took over for a short time and of course at Mercedes the AMG models can show up with some versions to take on the M3, but for years the M3 has been the leader and the class of only the midsized performance luxury sedans that show up as the best that is offered.
