Honda has built an incredible reputation for itself over the years. They make dependable, affordable, and long-lasting vehicles that are also attractive and easy to maintain. Their vehicles are the first car for many peoples’ children, the hand-me-down car for teenagers headed off to college, and the car you’ve urged your elderly parents to downsize into. So what happens when a major and life-saving part of their cars is found to be defective? Recall notices go out to millions of vehicle owners, Honda loses money, and Honda’s safety features are doubted; that’s what happens.

Can the Semi Underride Guards Help You?
Imagine you’re driving down the road and you see a car hit the side of a trailer being pulled by a semi-truck; is the driver going to survive the crash? That’s the question the IIHS has been presented with recently and with two extremely different versions of the same type of item that’s added to some trailers the goal was to learn if this item is built to help save lives or it’s an item that is meant for a completely different aspect of working for the trailer and not meant for safety at all.
The Toyota Investment in the Hoosier State
For many of the decades before the turn of the century, it felt like the automotive industry was at odds with itself. The foreign vehicles that were being shipped in were thought to be ways for outside companies to swoop in and take over the sales and profits from the US without any actual investment into the country they were being sold in. As the industry has progressed, we’ve seen the proof that what was once a divide is now becoming a cohesive existence with Toyota leading the way toward building jobs and offering community involvement in the US.
As proud as they can be
After making the lap at Nurburgring there was one more place the new “fastest car around the ‘Ring” needed to be and that’s at the Geneva Motor Show. The new Lamborghini Huracan Performante is now the top car and it may be a few years before another car can take its place. Not only is it the fastest car to make this lap, it’s the one that offers a naturally aspirated V10 engine and it actually beat out a car that offered a hybrid powertrain under the skin of the car. This new impressive model is the model that Lamborghini is proud to show off, as you can see in this short video from AutoGuide.
The New Jeep Wrangler Continues to be a Mystery
Typically if a new model is expected for the next model year at least a concept version is offered at the Detroit Auto Show but no such luck was the case regarding the new Jeep Wrangler. In fact the news is we might not see the production or concept models until the fall of this year and the sales won’t begin until January, at least that’s a real possibility. Even so, we do have an idea of what this new version of the Wrangler will be for the future of the model lineup that we’ll continue to love.
GMC Helps You Keep Your Rear Seat Safe
Small children have a tendency to be in their own little world when riding around in the car with their parents. Whether they look out the window and use their imagination to create a world of wonder or they happen to have a game to play or even fall asleep, many children find great ways to pass the time during some of the most boring parts of their day. Unfortunately, the parents of these children have a tendency to be busy and full of business and family related topics on their minds, which means they need some help.
A Hyundai Vehicle that Wins Over One Community
While there isn’t supposed to be racial divides when it comes to vehicles, there are some vehicles that become recognized by various organizations that are made to support, inform and assist a particular segment of the community such as Hispanic families, African-American families or Asian families. With organizations that do offer this support, there is often awards that are presented to different products as being better able to serve the community that is the subject of the reporting organization. When it comes to the Hispanic community, there is one SUV that’s perfect for the driving and needs of this community.
An Original Backer Expanding
Formula E racing is fairly new to the market as it only started in 2014 and at the time every car on the track was identical except in color and sponsor. Audi was one of the original sponsors of a Formula E racing team, but as the sport has grown over the past few years some teams are expanding and asking that automakers build their own race cars to give some differentiation to the cars on this circuit. This is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing racing divisions in the world and may eventually branch off into other areas of racing.
Be Satisfied with your Car Buying Experience
Buying a vehicle is one of the biggest investments you make in your life and you want that experience to be one that’s easy to navigate and enjoy. In the past it was hard to gauge how dealers handled the deal and what made sense for them to sell you a vehicle, but for the past thirty years JD Power has compiled a score that is called the Sales Satisfaction Index Study which measures your satisfaction with a dealership based upon specific factors to help understand why you buy your car from on dealership or another.
Tuned Up and Turned Out
Hyundai came to SEMA prepared to be one of the most impressive automakers at the show and certainly did just that. While many automakers show off bolted on parts and add-ons that you can buy in the aftermarket world, Hyundai brought out a large number of amazing concepts that will hopefully be offered in some form on the market in the future. This year there were five unique concepts that were offered by Hyundai to be something special to give us cars we will want to drive along with something that’s out there and outrageous for us to marvel at.
