| Mitsubishi Mirage Skipping 2016 Model Year, But Like a Phoenix, It Will Rise Again |
Aug 21st, 2015 |
|
Typically, when an automaker announces a new model-year lineup and a certain car is absent, it’s assumed that model is being killed off. Take, for example, Nissan’s recent outline of its 2016 model-year lineup, which included mention that the Xterra SUV won’t continue past 2015. Or when Toyota axed the FJ Cruiser. We could go […]

Whether it’s the rattling that comes and goes with the moon phases, a timing belt that obeys only changes in barometric pressure, or the sudden flickering of that dreaded check engine light, certain car problems require the professional experience and honest technical knowledge only a mechanic can bring.

| Zulu Super Defender: The 475-hp Brute Land Rover Won’t Build |
Aug 21st, 2015 |
|
Trust us when we say the Land Rover Defender tilts, leans, dips, and generally dislikes any amount of lateral acceleration. Slow, polite roundabout speeds are about all Her Majesty’s 4×4 is comfortable with. So it is with reservation that we’d recommend this lowered, fat-tired Defender that puts out nearly as much power as our long-term […]

| 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Preliminary Configurator Goes Live |
Aug 21st, 2015 |
|
Hold your horses, pony-car fans, Chevrolet’s full online configurator for the 2016 Camaro isn’t live—but its more limited-scope, preliminary version is!

| Chevrolet’s New Camaro Is More Expensive Than Before—Here’s Why That’s Okay |
Aug 21st, 2015 |
|
Typically, when a new car is priced several thousand dollars above the base price of its predecessor, it is cause for ire. The fanboys will yowl in protest. Armchair car pricers—if there were such a thing—will declare it a bust, robbery on the highest order. Faces will melt like that guy’s in Indiana Jones: Raiders […]

| Wolfgang Dürheimer: Veyron Successor Will Be Faster, No Bugatti SUV Planned |
Aug 20th, 2015 |
|
Externally, it appears that there’s a lull at Bugatti. The last Veyron, “La Finale,” was sold before it appeared on the stand at this year’s Geneva motor show. Its successor has not been formally announced, although rumor suggests it will appear at next month’s Frankfurt auto show. In between, there’s been a flurry of activity in […]
