BMW As a general rule, people within the U.S. do not buy station wagons. They could be more practical and look higher than the sedan alternative, but there are only so many professors in Latest England, and most of the people would fairly drive a crossover. So when BMW announced plans to sell the M5 Touring within the U.S., we were pleasantly surprised but removed from optimistic. Weighing in at roughly 5,500 kilos, the brand new plug-in-hybrid M5 was already controversial enough, and BMW planned to supply a good harder-to-sell version, as well? Seems, we were the fools since the…
Design Engineering, Inc. While there should still be some consequences for outright racism and homophobia, more nebulous attacks on “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” or DEI, proceed to proliferate after being branded “woke” by President Trump and his high-profile advisors. Apparently, attempting to be sure that jobs don’t all go to the hiring manager’s unqualified buddies is bad, one way or the other, but one unexpected casualty — beyond Goal’s stock price — is automotive parts supplier Design Engineering, Inc. That DEI just desires to make automobile stuff, but is now coping with unwanted fallout from an unwanted political association, the Wall Street Journal…
Toyota Well, well, well, it’s finally here. Meet the 2026 Toyota RAV4. For lots of enthusiasts, that is going to be an enormous ole yawn, but it surely doesn’t get rather more vital than a brand new RAV4. In spite of everything, Toyota sold about 475,000 of them last yr, and depending on the way you count truck sales, the RAV4 was the best-selling vehicle within the U.S., as well. Sorry, Ford F-150. And identical to the most recent Camry, the largest news is that the brand new RAV4 is now only available as a hybrid. You continue to get…

Hyundai It could be great if there have been one universal best tire on the market, but sadly, that may not really possible. Where you reside, the weather conditions you drive in, what you drive and even the way you drive all affect which tire is true for you, and that is all before you get to one of the vital necessary aspects — cost. Costlier tires often last more and can prevent money in the long term, but in case you do not have $1,000 to drop on tires, that advice definitely won’t assist you to. Electric vehicles also…
McMurtry Automotive I do not know if a single McMurtry Spéirling post has ever done well traffic-wise, but this thing is so cool, even the editors don’t care. If we see Spéirling news, we post Spéirling news. I mean, we’re talking a few 1,000-horsepower EV that appears like a Hot Wheels automotive, runs the quarter-mile in lower than eight seconds and uses a Chaparral 2J–inspired energetic downforce system to destroy records. And while other cars have allegedly generated enough downforce to drive the other way up, nobody had actually done it until just a few weeks ago when McMurtry demonstrated that…
Ford The Ford Flex didn’t necessarily have to exist, and yet, the odd crossover/wagon/minivan stuck around for a full decade before finally being sent to the massive Costco parking zone within the sky. And while it won’t have ever been as cool because the Mustang, it was ridiculously practical while also being quicker than you’d expect, even should you didn’t spring for the turbocharged engine. Sure, the construct quality wasn’t the very best, however the stuff that actually needed to work still worked, and the individuals who owned them loved them. So I say it’s high time Ford brings it…
