May 13th, 2014 |
|
Now in its twelfth generation, Chevrolet’s Suburban has been a constant on the automotive scene since long before marketing lexes such as “SUV” and “crossover” were but a gleam in the eye of an ambitious marketing executive. While competitors have come and gone, the Suburban has remained on course, offering body-on-frame construction, scads of interior […]

| Give Us a C-Segment: Chrysler 100 Compact Sedan Coming for 2016 |
May 13th, 2014 |
|
As Chrysler’s three-car lineup stretches to fill previously uncontested segments, the first step will be to shrink—with a compact 100 sedan due in 2016. The 100, as we imagine it, will be based on the “Compact U.S. Wide” front-wheel-drive platform that underpins the Dodge Dart and the mid-size 200. Without saying anything of real substance […]

| Schifrin Free: Brits Recreate “Bullitt” Chase at Silverstone, Sorta [Video] |
May 13th, 2014 |
|
One of the most daring things about the much-discussed Bullitt car chase is that while the Mustang-stalks-Charger prelude features composer Lalo Schifrin’s slow-build “Shifting Gears,” the score cuts out the moment the Dodge’s 440 breaks loose and subsequently vaporizes the big coupe’s rear tires.
