March 15, 2013March 15, 2013Randy Stern 2

We’re very opinionated when it comes to certain things — automobiles, for example. Some folks are so passionate about a particular brand that their personal relationships are based solely on the makes and models that they — and their friends — drive. [...]

February 26, 2013February 26, 2013Casey Williams

Los Angeles and Detroit are two of the largest auto shows in North America, but automakers often save some big news for Chicago. From a new little diesel to a Superman sedan, big man van, and Texas-sized truck, there was a lot to see at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, which wrapped up last week.

The Fiat 500L Comes To America — But Will It Make You Coffee?

February 21, 2013February 21, 2013Zach 1

When the Fiat 500L debuted in Italy, it caused quite a stir — literally. That’s because it came with an optional coffee machine. And not just any coffee machine: it’s made by Lavazza, the Italian king of coffee. (Check out the video above for proof!) That perk costs about 2.500KN, or roughly $430. To some that will sound ridiculous and unnecessary, but it’s all marketing, and to me, it seems fairly smart and cool. [...]

Indeed, if you buy a used car for all the wrong reasons, there won’t be much hilarity when you find yourself shelling out thousands of dollars to fix what the seller promised was already fixed. [...]

2013 Detroit Auto Show Recap & Gallery: Day 2

January 17, 2013January 17, 2013Sam Miller-Christiansen

If the first day of the Detroit Auto Show is like Christmas for car worshipers, the second day is a bit like New Year’s Eve: it’s still a lot of fun, and there are some cool things to see, but you don’t get overloaded with presents. That’s not to say I didn’t have a great time, and there were definitely some interesting vehicles to be revealed, including… [...]

Detroit Auto Show: The Cadillac Of Plug-in Hybrids Debuts In The Motor City

January 17, 2013January 17, 2013Nick Kurczewski 1

With the flashy and much-hyped introduction of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, General Motors could have coasted through the rest of this year’s Detroit Auto Show with relative ease. Instead, the U.S. auto giant took a step in a new direction, at least when it comes to imbuing the Cadillac luxury division with green vehicle credentials. [...]
