The G-Wagens Are Spinning And There's A New Afeela

Sometimes there is a subset of car culture that you’ve just missed out on somehow. That’s what happened to me and the 3.5-liter Ecoboost-swap Mustang community. I just didn’t know they existed, but it was brought to my attention today via a tweeted screenshot of a Facebook post, which naturally sent me into a research spiral YouTube hole. There are a lot more of these swapped machines out there than I otherwise might have believed, and now I desperately want one. - Bradley Brownell Read More

Mercedes-Benz announced a slew of stuff at CES, from a new AI virtual assistant to musical EV sounds developed with Will.I.Am that change as you drive. CES was also host to the North American debuts of the Concept CLA and the new E-Class, but the only thing that I truly care about is the camouflaged prototype of the upcoming electric G-Class. First previewed by the EQG concept in 2021, the G-Class EV will go on sale later this year, and Mercedes says it will be the best G-wagen ever made both on-road and off. - Daniel Golson Read More

The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas usually doesn’t have many interesting debuts when it comes to the automotive side of things. Usually it’s some electric vehicle platform news, or a new type of infotainment system. Sony genuinely shocked the world in 2020 when it rolled out the Vision-S electric sedan concept car, then shocked the world again when it unveiled a crossover concept in 2022. A few months later, Sony announced it was entering a partnership with Honda to actually produce a production car, and at CES 2023 the brands revealed a production-intent concept called Afeela. - Daniel Golson Read More

Honda is getting serious about electric vehicles. The automaker, which has been a bit behind the curve when it comes to EVs, has unveiled a pair of electric concepts as part of their new Honda 0 series called the Saloon and Space-Hub at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. - Andy Kalmowitz Read More

At CES in Las Vegas on Tuesday embattled Vietnamese car company VinFast brought the Jabbawockeez dance crew onstage to unveil its new pickup truck, the Wild. While that pickup is just a concept for now, VinFast also used its CES presentation to formally announce that its super small, super cute and hopefully super cheap VF3 electric SUV will be sold in America, according to Motor1. - Daniel Golson Read More

As someone who exists outside of the norm, I am a fan of anything out of the ordinary – I love when risks are taken and I love when ground is broken. As the modern automotive landscape continues to homogenize into blobby crossovers with 2-liter engines and full-width light bars, I look toward the designs that dare to be different, the designs that spark curiosity and the ones that forge desirability. One way that a car can stand out is through the design of its doors. While most cars have traditional front-hinged doors that just do their job and do it well, there are many cars with daring door designs that ended up changing the world forever. - Logan Carter Read More

I’ve spent the last handful of days making my way through the vast labyrinth that is the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. There are more booths, exhibits and speeches than any one person can count, so we decided to wrap up all of our car content from CES in a pretty bow and hand it over to you folks. - Andy Kalmowitz Read More

Love it or hate it, you can’t really deny the impact that the Chrysler 300 and the LX platform cars had on the automotive industry. The first-generation Chrysler 300 was a design icon, so bold and American it was almost shocking when it hit the market in 2005. Amazingly, though, the future legend almost didn’t make it to production. - Lawrence Hodge Read More

The star of the Peacock series, Ted chats about leasing a Mustang with a defective airbag.

I recently turned 28, and I am embarrassed to admit that I use my GPS to navigate everywhere I go. I know my hometown well, but I live in Los Angeles now and I do not trust myself to navigate this big city without the help of satellites. I hardly remember a time before GPS – the days of MapQuesting directions and printing them out so I can scream at family members about missed turns are my earliest road trip memories, but I’ve thankfully never had to navigate on my own without GPS. - Logan Carter Read More
