GM’s Faulty Gearbox Class-Action Conundrum

Oh, the joys of modern automotive technology. Just when you thought electric cars were stealing all the headlines for their teething problems, good ol’ internal combustion engines remind us they still have plenty of gremlins bothering their owners. The timely reminder comes courtesy of a class-action lawsuit aimed squarely at General Motors and their allegedly faulty transmissions. It seems roughly 800,000 vehicles from Cadillac, Chevrolet, and...

13 Japanese SUVs That’ll Last You a Lifetime

If there’s one thing that Japanese automakers like Toyota, Subaru, and Honda are known for, it’s their bulletproof reliability. This reputation was largely earned by small cars like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, but their SUVs have also lived up to the high reliability standards gearheads have come to expect from Japanese cars. SUVs are currently the best-selling vehicles in the country, and it’s easy to see why. Few vehicles can match the versatility SUVs offer — they’re good-looking (well, some of them), spacious enough for the whole family, capable of driving through tough terrains and weather conditions, and can be fast if you opt for their performance versions. However, all these qualities are useless if the SUV keeps breaking down on you, which is why it’s important to prioritize reliability. Using reliable resources like J.D. Power, RepairPal, and CarEdge, we scoured the market and found some of the most reliable Japanese SUVs you can buy today, including new and used options.

Fancy an Original-Condition Muscle Car? This 1968 Camaro Z/28 Might Just Be Your Ticket to Ride

When it comes to collecting muscle cars, you pretty much have two paths: modified or original. Take the modified route, and there is no set pattern to what you can do—the sky’s the limit. But go the original route and the path becomes a lot more narrow. Things like documentation, VIN-stamped engine blocks, factory-installed components and authentic reproductions all matter when it comes to original-spec muscle cars. Presently offered on Hemmings...

The Incredible Restoration Of A Rare 1958 Mercury Voyager Two-Door Station Wagon

A Sheltered Life In Upstate New York Turned This 1967 Buick Electra 225 Into A Time Capsule

In hindsight, witnessing the replacement of long-heralded model names during the late Fifties shouldn’t have come as a surprise to the public. A case study is Buick. While Special, Super, Century, Roadmaster, and Limited spoke volumes about each model’s purpose and division hierarchy, those names–which began appearing in 1935–had inevitably lost some punch.

23 Affordable McLaren Supercars Available Today

Forgive me for being negative. But as you will soon find out, there is no such thing as a ‘cheap McLaren.’ It’s a supercar, after all. And if wishes were McLarens, beggars would own supercar rentals. Here’s the thing. Since 1963, McLaren has built a name for itself as a top-tier track-focused performance car automaker, annihilating its European competitors like Ferrari and Lamborghini on and off the track. As such, the appropriate thing to say is not cheap but attainable. These are the McLaren models (used and new) that fall under the bracket of ‘affordable’ supercars (we tweaked the title to avoid any confusion). We’ve also included the average price and reasons why they’d be considered affordable, even though they carry an emblem synonymous with premium automotive performance excellence.

13 Pricey Sports Cars and Their Affordable Alternatives

Porsche recently unveiled the latest iteration of the quintessential sports car – the 992.2-gen Porsche 911. We predict you’ll be hearing a lot about this sports car for a long time. Even folks who’ve never seen the inside of the car will have plenty to say about the 911’s departure from its traditional naturally-aspirated flat-sixes to a hybrid drive system. It marks the first time in over six decades that Porsche would equip a road-going 911 with a hybrid powertrain. It probably won’t matter what you think of this shift if you can’t fork over around $115,000 to get one. It doesn’t have to be a sad reality, though. There’s always an Emira for every Evija: A 370Z for every 8 Series. Indeed, the market brims with alternatives that capture these elite sports cars’ spirit, performance, and excitement at a fraction of the cost.
