Outsider’s Perspective: Why are Compact MPV’s a no-sale in America?
/

comments
The Volkwagen Touran that you see above has just started sales in Europe. If you’ve looked at it and noticed it pretty much looks like a Golf wearing a top hat you’d be absolutely right. You get no points though, because most everything Volkswagen makes is a Golf. However, it did got me thinking, if…

There I was, laying quietly at home at 4 in the morning wondering just what the hell had caused me to seemingly lose the ability to sleep but let me all the tiredness to deal with when my brain decided to notice a very interesting pattern: Almost all of the new cars I want come…

Outsider’s Perspective: On fully autonomous cars and lawsuits
/

I’m certainly not the first one to say that completely autonomous cars, while certainly amazing in their own right and brilliant in their engineering, are most definitely not going to start their takeover of the world quite yet. And there’s a force that will slow them massively. Lawyers.

With all its twists, turns and outdated models passing up as viable products, the one way you can describe the Latin American market is “baffling” and it’s about to get even more baffling for all of you watching from USDM island.

Honduras wins. Let’s shut it all down and the last one out make sure to lock the door. It doesn’t matter if 120-month loans become the norm or if Hyundai decides to bring back the first-generation Accent back from the dead with a new and marketing-friendly name. there’s absolutely no way to top this.

The New York International Auto Show passed by me so I won’t be able to do my usual article on it. However, what I can do is pinpoint the most important vehicle to take its first bow on the show. And it’s this: The Scion iA. …would you put out that torch!? This is a…

Outsider’s Perspective: Will the new 7-Series crack under pressure?
/

comments
There are three groups of people that are excited about the all-new BMW 7-Series. Journalists who will get to flog them around tracks and will get unbelievably excited when Alpina works its magic of them. Captains of industry that consider the Mercedes S-Class too formal and the Maserati Quattroporte too unhinged and, of course, the…

I was having a lovely day and a nice stroll through town when my eyes fixated upon the local Hyundai dealership. There my eyes happened upon a new car on display. Well, I say new but it somehow looked…familiar.

There are a lot of things that make me incredibly jealous of America. New York’s 2nd Avenue Deli, for example. You also have a plethora of cheap used cars, and you don’t have to pay through the nose in import fees every time you want to buy anything from the Internet. Having said that there’s one…
