Etc : Car News And Reviews

I’m a big fan of the current Jeep Renegade. It’s a spunky little SUV with distinctively Jeep looks, and it’s surprisingly capable off-road – especially in Trailhawk form. But one thing the Renegade is not is a Comanche – at least not until now.

Ford has announced that it plans to celebrate National Ice Cream day this coming Sunday with a special, custom created ice cream flavor from Coolhaus Ice Cream. The flavor is inspired by the Orange Fury exterior color available on the 2018 Ford Mustang. The Mustang-inspired treats will be available around New York City and the Coolhaus Flagship location in the LA area this weekend.

If you love the Jaguar F-PACE as much as I do, but either don’t need quite as large of a vehicle, or don’t quite have the budget, today’s your lucky day. You see, Jaguar just took wraps off of its new E-PACE compact SUV, and it’s basically what would happen if you put the F-PACE into the beam of a shrink ray. While we don’t have exact measurements yet, it’s clear that the E-PACE is shorter in height and length than the F-PACE, but Jaguar design boss Ian Callum clearly is taking an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach to its styling.

Having a 4 year-old in the backseat every week is the automotive equivalent of shaving your face with a cheese grater. You’re getting somewhere, but chances are things won’t be very pretty when it’s time to step back and assess the damage.

Everyone thinks they are a badass driver until they get behind the wheel of an epic car and try to hoon. You find out really fast that skilled drivers make that stuff look easy, but it isn’t.

Moller International sunk $150 million into the development of the M400 Skycar back in the early 2000s. The catch was that the car never really came to maturity and never received FAA certification to fly. If none of that matters to you, you can buy the M400 Skycar over on eBay. The catch is that without that FAA certification, you can’t actually fly it.

Flying cars are something that many of us have dreamed of since we knew what dreams were. The appeal of a car that parks in your garage, drives down the road, and can take to the skies is undeniable.

Occasionally, going out on a limb and trying the unbranded version of a particular product pays off in spades. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does the feeling you get can often be both of surprise and satisfaction.

While lots of automakers are adding hybrid and electric cars to their lineups, Volvo is going above and beyond with its commitment to green vehicles with the announcement that every single one of their new cars will have an electric motor.

The 2018 Ford Mustang is gearing up to shoot to thrill, and nothing says “rubber is target numero uno” quite like a snazzy track-exclusive tech feature. OK, so the Dodge Demon still retains its place at the head of the shoot first, file police reports later pack, but that doesn’t mean America’s favorite pony car can’t join in on the fun.

I’ve seen a dude rolling around Colorado Springs in a bright yellow Lamborghini Aventador SV a few times in the last month or so. If you have never seen one of these cars in person, you know they are awesome, and OMG the sound they make.

It wasn’t too long ago that 4-cylinder engines were looked down on by performance car enthusiasts. But thanks to modern engine designs and impressive forced-air induction systems, we’re getting 4-bangers that can keep up with V8 numbers from less than a decade ago.

Workhorse is the company behind that cool electric pickup truck we talked about a while back. The company has unveiled another high-tech vehicle, and this one is infinitely cooler than that truck. It’s called the SureFly and it is a personal flying vehicle designed to carry a pilot and a passenger. Its four rotors are driven by electricity with eight motors each driving a single propeller.

The Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban are two of the most substantial SUVs you can buy, so it’s no wonder that the US Army uses these vehicles to provide transportation for some of its most critical missions.

There are several states in the US where autonomous cars are permitted to test on public roads. Now, joining the ranks of places like California, Nevada, and Michigan, Texas has just adopted a new autonomous vehicle testing law.
