Ram Will Still Sell You A Brand-New, 16-Year-Old Truck
There’s a strange automotive tradition of keeping old models around while the new generation of the same model goes on sale. Often its because the old model is still selling pretty damn good. Nissan did it with its Rogue Select; Chevy has done it a few times with Classic models. Ram is still currently doing it with the previous-gen Ram 1500. – Lawrence Hodge Read More

I Hate My Subaru! What Car Should I Buy?
Rob has had a pretty good track record with Subarus, but he can’t stand his 2017 Forester. He has a $40,000 budget to replace it with something more unique, but something that can still handle Michigan winters. What car should he buy? – Tom McParland Read More
The Kia EV9 Is Already Being Discounted In Some Places
Something interesting is going on, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it happen before, at least not in these past few years: a vehicle is getting discounted at dealers before it’s even officially launched. That’s what’s happening with Kia and its newest EV, the EV9. Dealers across the country have hit the EV9 with discounts — massive ones, in some cases. – Lawrence Hodge Read More
Some Excellent Cars From 1999 Are Finally Legal To Import
Twenty-five years. It’s been 25 years since 1999. As an elder millennial, I just can’t fathom that kind of time passage. It feels like it was a thousand years ago, but also last week. There was something of a sea change in automotive design in the late 1990s, and that produced a few wonky shapes that have become quite dated, but they’ve aged enough to have returned to cool. Maybe. I don’t know, you’ll just have to decide for yourself. – Bradley Brownell Read More
At $14,969, Could You Top This Custom 1969 Lotus Europa S2 Targa?

At $2,950, Is This 1982 BMW 735i Priced To Sell?
Today’s Nice Price or No Dice E23 looks to be a solid base for a cool old car that can be wrenched on over the weekend and still driven during the week. Let’s decide what such a workhorse might be worth. – Rob Emslie Read More

Toyota Supra Sales Plummeted Last Year Because You All Have Terrible Taste
The A90 Toyota Supra is a good car. A very good car, in fact, with some of the best styling and engine sounds on the market today. Yet, according to Toyota’s year-end sales numbers, none of you have actually gone out and bought one. This is a travesty, and I won’t stand for it. – Steve DaSilva Read More
