It’s always an exciting moment in this business when an automaker sends you an email containing images of a car you haven’t seen yet. It’s especially exciting when that vehicle happens to be the next-gen Telluride, because Kia’s design as of late has been, in a word, expressive. Still, I wasn’t prepared for the face

Which Gran Turismo game is your favorite? Personally, I go back and forth between GT2 and GT4. The latter probably has the edge because it was just so polished and, for that reason, is a bit easier to return to today than those jagged PS1 entries. But GT2 was so unusually massive for its time

The Wyoming diesel tuner who was imprisoned after being convicted on hundreds of counts of violating EPA emissions regulations received an unconditional pardon from President Trump last week. Troy Lake, the former (and perhaps future?) operator of Elite Diesel near Cheyenne, was originally sentenced to one year and one day in prison and fined $52,000

When the first images of Toyota’s new Land Cruiser FJ hit the web, many of you had the same reaction we did: That it should be sold in the States. Of course, that isn’t and was never going to happen, because the U.S. hates small cars, and the FJ is small. Or is it? This

While Big Gretch’s “Fix the damn roads!” mandate has brought an upswing in road road construction projects all over Michigan, anybody who regularly commutes (that’s a thing, believe it or not) from one of the state’s two peninsulas to the other will tell you that maintenance on the Mackinac Bridge has been a thing for

It’s clear at this point that more than one fuel will power the auto industry going forward. Gasoline will stay on top for who knows how long, and diesel is still the go-to option for a lot of applications, but it’s anyone’s guess beyond that. Porsche is betting on renewable e-fuels, while Toyota is convinced

It’s crazy to think that the Toyota FJ Cruiser is old enough to be worked on by a classic 4×4 restoration shop. But, yeah, 2008 was a long time ago now! This one was just another mildly rusty New England rig that the owner wanted to bring back to life, but they must have had

Honda plans to continue to talk with various automakers about partnering on software as the march towards the electric future continues. In Japan last week, Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe told journalists that, “when it comes to software defined vehicles it doesn’t make sense for one company to try and develop everything.” Mibe said Honda learned

I’ve heard it said all my life that you can’t keep a good man down. If that’s the case, then desert racers must be some of the best out there. They can fix almost anything, and whatever can’t be repaired with zip ties or arc-welded rebar will just have to suck it up until the

Lately, I’ve been reviewing a lot of Hyundai Group products, and generally, I’ve been pretty impressed. The Elantra N is a reasonably priced riot, the Santa Cruz is surprisingly enjoyable to drive for a compact ‘ute, and the Genesis G80—for which I’ve got another review around the corner—is a refreshing change of pace from most
