| Redesigned 2016 Chevrolet Volt Sees Price Drop |
May 4th, 2015 |
|
In five years, more than 76,000 Americans have welcomed Bob Lutz’s electric baby into their homes, all this time wishing it would grow up to be a faster, cleaner, and cheaper plug-in hybrid. The second-gen 2016 Chevrolet Volt has matured with at least one of those hopes fulfilled: It’s $1175 less than the 2015 model. […]

| Get Gassy: 2016 Ford F-150 Offers CNG Prep Package for 5.0-Liter V-8 |
May 4th, 2015 |
|
Just before the previous-generation F-150 went out of production, Ford offered the truck with a “gaseous-fuel prep” option for the 2014 model year. In non-gassy speak, the package was essentially a kit that allowed the engine to run on compressed natural gas, and it was only available with the old F-150’s base 3.7-liter V-6. Now nearly […]

| Smoove, B: We Attend Rolls-Royce’s White Glove Chauffeur Training Program |
May 1st, 2015 |
|
Mssrs. Johnson and Siler at your service. The Rolls-Royce Phantom and I have a history, and with the exception of a seaside blast in a Phantom Coupé years ago, that history has revolved around me carting around my fellow humans.

| James Bond SPECTRE’s Jaguar/Aston Chase Scene Is Shaping Up To Be Epic [w/ Video] |

|
Excitement for the latest James Bond 007 movie, SPECTRE, is growing, including, at least in our circle, for the flick’s hot cars. While there will be a Range Rover Sport SVR and some cool, modded Defenders, the real stars are the ultra-limited-production Aston Martin DB10 and Jaguar’s 890-hp hybrid C-X75 supercar concept. The movie’s makers […]

Well, that was quick. This report from 9to5mac.com indicates that a Tesla-controlling app for the Apple Watch is now a fully realized thing, and it’s pretty neat. There’s nothing about developer Rego Apps’ Tesla Model S Watch app that’s totally new or different from, say, Tesla’s own smartphone app for the electric sedan, or other automakers’ in-house apps that allow users […]

The subcompact-crossover segment is erupting like an overdue volcano—witness the new Chevy Trax, Fiat 500X, and Honda HR-V joining other wee hatchbacks on stilts, such as the Buick Encore, Jeep Renegade, Kia Soul, Mini Countryman, and Nissan Juke. Now, having spent several hours behind the wheel of Mazda’s new CX-3, we think it just may […]
