Jeep Flips the Script on Three Models

When you’re one of only a few brands that have any juice within a large automaker, you want to stay fresh and relevant. Jeep has done a fairly good job of this by showing constant improvements acro…

So you want to go big and get yourself a luxury SUV. But, not just any luxury SUV. You want to go electric. Great. Lucid has the Gravity. BMW has a long list of EVs to choose from. Even Cadillac has that big Escalade iQ. But wait, you want value AND power AND luxury. That’s actually an easy find. Just look past those Escalade iQs and iQLs and see those crossovers over there....

Despite many American’s thoughts, Ford makes pickups for every necessity. In Brazil, the Courier is essentially a Focus with a bed. But, for those who work and thrive in the Australian Outback, our F-150 just won’t cut it. Why? Because, diesel is still a viable option for smaller vehicles outside of the United States. With all of that in mind, Ford needs a pickup that can handle a small Diesel engine and handle the rough terrain down under....

Later this week I will be debuting a new series, Forbidden Fruit. It will feature some of the new cars that you can’t get in the United States. Stay tuned, you may be surprised and who is making what that we can’t buy.

Courtesy of Koenigsegg Many car enthusiasts answer the following question with the same answers… What is your favorite exotic car? From there, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and even Bugatti comes up. Insane Power, crazy design and a price tag reserved for millionaires are usually the requisites for this. For me, I’ve always zagged more than zigged when asked such things. In this particular case, I go towards Sweden and a closed military base where some of the craziest engineering takes place in the industry....

Courtesy of General Motors The Cadillac Lyriq certainly turned heads when it debuted in 2024. It presented the evolved look that was certainly Cadillac, but futuristic enough to foreshadow every future EV. That’s certainly held true with the Optiq, Vistiq and Escalade IQ/IQL. All of us knew (or at least hoped) that going all electric wouldn’t doom the highly respectable V-Series....

This is a very grassroots start-up. Currently, I’m doing this for free, but I would like to monetize this and diversify into other formats. The best way for me to start is through sponsorships and partnerships. Specifically, I’m looking for local (Metro Detroit) dealers who can help me with doing reviews on specific products. Of course, I’m talking about dealers. If you or someone you know is a dealer and would like to help me on this endeavor, send me a DM. The dealer would naturally get a mention in the article I write. As for sponsors, I’ll advertise your product or service on my website and through social media. This is a large net, so anything auto related is on my radar. Towing, detailing, repairs, tires, etc. is on the table. Yes, I’m brand-new to this, but I’d like to think this is how the big guys got their start.

Photo courtesy of Polestar While most of us are still adjusting to a world where electric vehicles are available, Geely’s standalone EV brand (Geely is the parent company of Volvo, as well) has begun conducting business as if they’re just another option, like diesel. The Polestar 3 looks to be the statement piece that puts them on the map, much like Tesla’s Model S....
