The Autopian

For years, Americans have asked when we would actually be able to afford long-range electric cars.

It’s weird how classified ads line up sometimes.

Like many of you, I have a mom.

I like to think I have many skills, be it returning a plane to terra firma in one piece or driving a diesel-electric locomotive.

The Dodge Nitro has come up more often than you’d think here on our lovely webbed-site, and, aside from singling out very specific and rare versions, the consensus on the stubby, boxy little Mopar SUV hasn’t been especially, um, great.

Earlier this year, I finally figured out why so many car enthusiasts say “Miata Is Always The Answer” when I picked up a 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata ND1.

In all the excitement over the new G50 BMW 3-series, there was one detail that quietly slipped by me.

Technology, when used well, gives us the ability to amplify and enhance the sorts of tasks we’re capable of doing.

I asked, “What cars did you want as a kid that you wouldn’t buy today?

Forget rebates and climate consciousness, sky-high fuel prices might just be the thing that makes America go electric.

There was a time when you could reasonably expect that any car or truck you bought had a physical pedal or handle that, when actuated, activated a parking brake on your vehicle’s rear wheels via arm muscle.

One question that I often get asked is “what car do you really want?”

It’s amazing how much better and cheaper electric cars have become since the dawn of the modern era.

The unpredictability of life is what makes existence daunting and/or exciting, depending on whether the surprise hits you pleasing in the heart or roughly in the teeth.

Well, it appears to be time once again for one of my semi-regular articles about BMW design.

I have a sort of weird fetish – I guess that’s kind of an understatement, really, as I feel like I’ve been pretty open about my many (usually automotive, I hope) fetishes with you on here – that involves eating meals in sci-fi movies.

Good morning!

The Honda Civic Type R has been one of the most fun front-wheel-drive hot hatches since it debuted in 1997.

The diesel-electric locomotive is a common sight across America.

Oh, snap!

The Jeep Recon was/is the brand’s attempt at making a vehicle that works as both an everyday electric vehicle and an off-roader that’s true to the company’s trail-rated ethos.

It’s pretty well known around here that I’m one of the biggest fans of the Fast And Furious franchise.

I contain multitudes, or Multiplatudes.

It’s long been understood that Jeep is the most valuable part of whatever company (FCA, Stellantis, YUM brands, Cerberus, et cetera) happens to own the brand.

I’m a very fortunate person in a number of ways, and one of those ways is the sheer number and variety of cars I’ve had the privilege of driving.

My guess is that you could listen to the sound of a seventies Ferrari or Lamborghini V-12 ripping through the gears for hours.

Good morning!

The United States Postal Service depends on an armada of big trucks, mail trucks, vans, and contracts with airlines.

The diesel engine is the powerplant that moves the world, and impressively powerful diesels can be found in everything from ships and trains to semi-tractors and farming implements.

When shopping for a new car, there’s certain tests that I believe most people feel are prudent to do.

You’ve already seen the new global look of the 2027 Hyundai Tucson, which was revealed earlier this year.

What Brands Should Making Pickup Trucks Right Now That Aren’t?

There’s never just one right way to do things.

Do you like driving?

Car insurance: ya gotta have it, but no one wants it.

You know how I draw cars for Autopian members on their birthdays?

In 2023, Chevrolet sold more than 60,000 of its electric Bolt hatchback.
