Let’s start off 2018 …by looking back on 2017, and oh what a year it was. A tumultuous, peaks-and-valleys ridden turning of the calendar.

The timing on this couldn’t have been more coincidental. On Tuesday I published a piece in which I wrote about Mazda’s poor option & group packaging on the MX-5 Miata. How it’s a shame that you can’t get an LSD with heated seats or vice-versa. Well… yesterday the automaker announced that changes are being made…

I love Mazda, probably more than I do any other manufacturer. Scratch that – as of this writing, I love Mazda more than any other manufacturer. There, I said it. I’m sorry, Jeep, Mazda just has its mojo no in a way no other company does. And, if I’m honest, I’m head-over-heels in love with…

“You never have an idea of just how capable a car is until you have it on the track.” That might be all well and true, but it’s even more so for off-roading, and a recent weekend at Pennsylvania’s Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area is the perfect example of why, and how. After months…

The official debut of the JL Wrangler might be less than 24 hours away but that doesn’t mean we can’t have some last-minute fun outside of the imminent Jeep-backed Build and Price. As we prepare for the JL’s official unveiling, why not spend some time virtually modifying the upcoming four-door Jeep? What we have here…

Another day, another outpouring of information about and photos of the upcoming JL Wrangler which very shortly, and very thankfully, will no longer even be “upcoming” with the reveal just weeks away.

They’re finally here. Jeep must have sensed our communal desperation and has revealed three official images of the production JL Wrangler in both two-door and Unlimited four-door guise to pique our interest even further before the full-blown LA Auto Show reveal.
