(August 9, 2018) It may be a surprise many people that the best-selling automotive brand in the world isn’t Toyota or Ford or General Motors. Last year, Volkswagen had record global sales of over 10 million vehicles, knocking Toyota out of the top spot.

(August 5, 2018) With last year’s debut of Chevrolet’s hardcore go-anywhere Colorado ZR2, off-road enthusiasts now have an alternative choice to the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro that’s currently the only legitimate alternative to the Ford Raptor, which is much larger, less agile and significantly more expensive, or Jeep Wrangler, which isn’t a pickup truck.

(August 3, 2018) Last year, we reviewed the then all-new 2017 Nissan Titan full-sized pickup truck that slots above the mid-sized Nissan Frontier. But don’t confuse the new Nissan Titan with its almost heavy-duty version, Titan XD, which actually appeared a year earlier as a 2016 model and slots a bit above the regular issue Titan. Confusing, I know.

(July 26, 2018) How hot is the Ford pickup? Every 30 seconds, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, a new Ford pickup is sold. Keep in mind, with dealerships closed during the middle of the night and on certain holidays those numbers are even more spectacular.

(July 24, 2018) Since Dodge reintroduced the Challenger for the 2008 model year, both the Mustang and Camaro muscle cars have undergone complete refreshes. Further, Camaro is expecting another update for 2019. By contrast, the Challenger has basically remained unchanged for the past 11 years, except for one minor mid-cycle refresh back in 2015. Still, sales keep climbing and thus far in 2018, it is outselling the three-year-old Camaro.

(July 23, 2018) There’s no denying that the U.S. car-buying community is crossover-crazy, shunning traditional family sedans for a piece of the upscale driving action you get with the likes the popular Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Jaguar F-Pace and numerous others including the Infiniti QX50, the long awaited replacement for the EX and QX50 predecessors after a one-year hiatus.

(July 7, 2018) At a time when family-sedan sales are taking a long and extend sales dive — as consumers seemingly can’t satisfy their appetite for utility vehicles — Ford Motor Company has decided to wave the white flag, announcing this past April that it will discontinue all sedans in North America. That includes the Fusion, tested here.

(July 2, 2018) Fresh off a complete new redesign last year, the fifth-generation model sports a new look, a new name and features a slew of technological advancements, including lightweight body construction, making Discovery about 20 percent lighter than the outgoing LR4.

Gone is the boxy look in favor of a more rounded aerodynamic flowing design. But a few historical lineage cues remain, like the offset rear license plate and the signature, stepped roof that’s now dwindled to a mere ripple.

(June 16, 2018) Last year, Audi updated its fifth-generation A4 sedan. Audi didn’t do anything radical, with the basic dimensions staying the same, but Audi aficionados certainly recognized some significant changes. So, understandably, for 2018 the A4 is almost exclusively a carryover from last year, and a much stronger performance-oriented S4 has joined the lineup.
