As Ford looks toward the future of affordable EVs, the answer could be in its recent past.

Why Ford Could Revive 2 High-Volume Vehicles, and Soon

For years, Jaguar has sold some of the most beautiful cars you could buy. At least from the outside, that is. Sales haven’t been great lately, as its cars are old and struggle to compete, and back in March, the British automaker announced plans to kill off its entire gas-powered lineup and replace them with electric cars instead. If you thought that meant Jaguar would have an EV ready to replace at least one car in its lineup, though, you’d be wrong. Autocar reports it plans to simply go a year without building any new cars.

Jaguar's Latest Plan Is To Basically Stop Selling Cars For A Year

Jaguar is in the midst of a major brand shift. Managing director Rawdon Glover provides some details about what that shift looks like.

Genesis' ascent in the luxury automotive world has been downright inspiring, and the company isn't stopping until it's on par with the best. It was less than a decade ago when Genesis models were still wearing Hyundai badges, but today the company has a whole lineup of vehicles that offer incredible value and luxury for the money, and they're slowly but surely winning over buyers because of it. Still, whenever the brand is spoken about in the same conversation as its European rivals, there's frequently an air of disdain towards the South Korean marque, something the brand is trying its hardest to dispel.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ll be aware that multi-million-dollar cars require eye-watering amounts of money just for simple maintenance and servicing, especially if it’s a Bugatti. Over the years, we’ve had many Bugatti owners tell us how insanely expensive it is to own a hypercar. While a 27-year-old recently claimed that his $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Carbon goes a mere 62 miles on a full tank of fuel, renowned entrepreneur and influencer Manny Khoshbin has given a detailed account of the ownership cost of his Veyron in the past. He claimed that all fluids have to be changed each year, and that costs a whopping $25,000.

The owner of a $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron was shocked when the official service center quoted him $12,000 to replace a faulty door mirror switch. The clever owner took it to a supercar specialist who swapped it with an identical part from a Volkswagen van, which cost just $1.

Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.

Looking through sports cars in the current era, it is hard to ignore what electric vehicles have to offer. If you have been looking at the classic Mustang to satisfy your speed needs, there are a few EV options that we consider to be a better purchase.

All week, car lovers have been talking about the magnificent Cadillac SOLLEI Concept. Cadillac calls the show car a vision of bespoke luxury. Cadillac is quick to point out that the SOLLEI is a concept only, but it shows how designers can work with the new EV platforms to build custom commissioned vehicles. The SOLLEI amazingly is built on the same EV platform as the Cadillac CELESTIQ, but the SOLLEI could not look more different.

Cadillac's history of introducing well-received concept cars that never made it to production is almost as old as the brand itself. From the likes of the Cadillac Le Mans and Cadillac Starlight from the '50s to the Cadillac Voyage of 1988 and the Cadillac InnerSpace electric sportscar unveiled in 2021, the company has never been short on big ideas that have sadly proved impractical to manufacture.

Cadillac's Sollei Convertible Concept Is Glorious, But Promises Disappointment

Back in 2020, I was in the very fortunate position to have a decent bit of disposable income, but the opportunities to spend it on things like holidays and meals out were far between (can’t think why). I was also daily driving a Mazda MX-5 that was causing me chronic back pain and had a chassis so rotten it was on the verge of Thanos-snapping out of existence. That confluence of events is how I came to own a Renault Megane R26.
