For the past decade, Mitsubishi has been almost an afterthought in the U.S. car buying market, fading from the popular imagination as it limped forward with older, cheap, uncompetitive cars and sank in quality rankings.

Though it seems hard to believe, violent crime rates in Mexico have skyrocketed in some areas to their highest levels ever, and further to the south in Brazil, declining crime rates have failed to convince the country’s wealthiest citizens that things are getting safer. In both nations, we now see conditions that are…

A staggering 34.2 percent of all new vehicles sold in the first four months of 2018 were SUVs, with that segment’s 15 percent growth largely responsible for still-rising auto sales.

Cars are typically depreciating assets (unless you’re buying a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO) but this is actually good news if you’re a used car shopper. Here are the late-model cars with the highest three-year depreciation and the top one is kind of surprising.

Marci Robin was buying a Fiat 500X from a West Palm Beach, Florida dealership, and was in the final stages of signing all the paperwork, when she was presented with a strange but simple question: was she a robot?

It’s extremely hard to be funny in the written word, so much so that you should probably not even try. Which makes this Craigslist ad all the more remarkable, because it is very funny.

Joe Girard sold 1,425 cars in 1973, and over 13,000 in an impressive 15-year stretch that later led to a career as a motivational speaker. Ali Reda sold 1,582 cars in 2017, besting Girard by some margin. Girard, initially, was extremely unhappy about this, but now has changed his tune a bit. He’ll accept it, he told …
