GM’s Faulty Gearbox Class-Action Conundrum

Oh, the joys of modern automotive technology.

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.

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.

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.

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 Crazy Fast Sports Cars From the 1980s

Every decade produces its share of automotive history, and the 1980s are mostly remembered as the golden era for exhilarating, analog performance cars. Thanks to the boom in cutting-edge technology, the evolution to consumer-driven marketing, and the growing pop culture influence, the resurgence from the malaise era gave us some incredibly fast sports cars. The technological renaissance of the 1980s delivered goodies like turbochargers, electronic fuel injectors, engine control units, catalytic converters, and all-wheel drive that elevated sports car performance to stratospheric levels. On the other hand, pop culture and consumer preference influenced not just performance but also the gorgeous sports car designs that inspired today’s models. We ranked the fastest sports cars from the 1980s based on their 0-60 mph times, as provided by enthusiast website Zeroto60Times. However, our list excludes racing cars, tuned cars, and prototypes like the Audi Sport Quattro (3.1 sec), Lancia Delta S4 (3.5 sec), and RUF CTR Yellowbird (3.7 sec).
