The folks over at Ram Commercial just announced updates to the ProMaster lineup of vans, which includes new safety tech and more available options. It’s all well and good, but Ford is bringing an electric Transit to market this year. Where’s the electric ProMaster? It’s coming. While details are scant, the news release detailing the […]

With 2021 Woodward Dream Cruise festivities underway, the title sponsor Ford is in the business of making news. Today they debuted a new appearance package for the Mach-E (and standard Mustang). Called the Ice White Edition Appearance Package, it’s the first time a white on white has been offered on Mach-E, and is a retro […]

Just a few years ago, having advanced driver safety technology was a luxury for the wealthy. Today, even a base Toyota Yaris comes with life saving technology based on cameras and radars. But what about those radars? How is that technology evolving? Magna developed a new type of radar that is digital instead of analog. […]

One thing the Ford Mustang has been good at in its many years of production is being the basis for one-off special editions. Because the Mach-E is a Mustang, it makes sense to start seeing those concepts appear on the all-electric Mustang. What you’re looking at here is the first one of those types of […]

The updated Jeep Compass is a significant improvement, especially in the interior, over the outgoing model. As the brand attempts to move all of its products upmarket in feel and attention to detail, new powertrains are also on the way.

We recently had a chance to check out the two new cars and show off what […]

Audi is working on a slew of electric vehicles of all shapes and sizes as the company movestowards an all electric fleet. In addition to the Q4 and e-tron GT, the brand is putting effort into a Q6 e-tron. The Q6 sits between the Q4 and the full-sized e-tron flagship vehicle. It’s the electric sister […]

Now that the Ford Bronco is on its way to dealerships, Ford has a new problem. In order to stay competitive with the crosstown rival — Jeep — the company will need to move on new powertrains. Jeep has the absolutely excellent Wrangler 4xe, so it’d make sense Ford is working on a hybrid. As […]

Up until now, the United States government hasn’t appeared to be too proactive when it comes to investigating crashes of vehicles with advanced driver assist systems. That officially changed with a new order from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The government agency is requiring automakers to submit detailed crash reports to the company, upon […]

We in the United States are unique in that we often buy for the “what if” in life and not the everyday use. Sure, you could rent a pickup truck the twice a year you need to move your RV, but what’s the fun in that? The same applies for EV purchasing. Most people drive […]
