Hooniverse Asks: What Car Wouldn’t Look Awesome in Panasports?
/
It is my considered opinion—and I should point out that I am an expert on such things—that the traditional Panasport alloy wheel is the perfect accoutrement for damn-near any automotive aesthetic.

Five-car free-for-all
/
Matt Farah has a saying that goes something like this: “the number of cars an enthusiast owns is only limited by two things: money and space.” As in, if it weren’t for a finite amount of money to spend on vehicles, and a finite amount of space to store said vehicles, an enthusiast would be…

Review: 2017 Acura MDX Advance
/
I was loading up this MDX for a family ski weekend trip when I received a text message from a friend. The message consisted of just two pictures; a loaded Toyota Highlander and an identical Acura MDX into which I was just trying to squeeze more stuff than anyone should be brining for a weekend. “I’m…

/
“Hey, look at that, it’s the new Ford Ecosport!” You might have exclaimed just those exact words had you attended the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show where Ford’s littlest crossover made its U.S. debut. You might have then shouted something else, perhaps far less family friendly, when you discovered that the tiny tumbler was having…

Hooniversal Opinion: 2017 Geneva International Motor Show
/
The Geneva International Motor Show is a car show for the dreamers. Of all the regular stops on the show circuit, Geneva is always the least practical, the most expensive, but the most spectacular. Sure, several more family-friendly cars that we’re all more likely to own someday are revealed here too, but it’s always been…

/
When Toyota killed off the Scion brand you wondered, a bit, what they were going to do with the C-HR they had been showing off for eighteen months or so. Since they sell the car in the rest of the world as a Toyota, they decided to do the same in North America as well.…
