2019

At this point, anyone who cares about trucks knows that the Ford Ranger is making a comeback. The 2019 Ranger is one of the best trucks on paper in the mid-range segment with its 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine producing impressive power and torque.

In the history of automotive advertising, the Kia Soul hamsters are legendary. The adorable human-sized hamsters that loved to party were the ideal way for Kia to launch this cute and quirky compact car. It showed a youth invasion was coming, and Kia was there to capture the next wave of drivers and car buyers.

Despite a planned reveal on January 14, Toyota insists on continuing to tease Supra fans with little tidbits about the car. So far we have heard the exhaust note, seen prototypes in not so camouflaged camouflage, along with leaked images of the Supra’s rear end – and possibly the whole car.

The mid-size pickup market is growing quickly; over 80% in the last four years with Toyota’s Tacoma, GM’s Colorado and Canyon, and Nissan’s Frontier leading the way. Ford, once a dominant player here, decided in 2011 to exit the segment when they killed the last generation Ranger in the United States after seeing sales slide from a high of 348,000 trucks in 1999 to 70,000 in 2011.

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is one of the least expensive ways into the world of Mercedes ownership. It’s also a good looking car just as it is built from the factory.

Honda teased the new 2019 Passport a while back, and promised to unveil the new SUV at the LA Auto Show. That official unveil has happened, and it turns out that the Passport is a 5-passenger V6 SUV aiming at adventure seekers.

It’s not common for a truck that tops its class in payload, torque and towing to also be the most fuel efficient among gas-powered entries. However, that’s precisely what the new 2019 Ranger will offer buyers when it lands.

Cold weather is kind of fun, but kind of sucks too. It sucks early in the morning when it’s 20ºF in your car, and you don’t have remote start. If you are in a cold weather state and need a truck that is ready for the frigid conditions, the 2019 Ram 1500 North Edition is the ticket.

I’ve long thought the Toyota RAV4 was a solid and dependable ride for everyday driving. But with the new 5th-generation model due out for the 2019 model year, the RAV4 isn’t just a good vehicle, it’s a great one.

Honda is teasing the 2019 Passport – an SUV that will sit between the CR-V and the Pilot in the SUV line. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because Honda sold a Passport SUV back in the 1990s that was basically a repackaged Isuzu Rodeo.

The automotive world desperately needs more affordable performance cars. As the cost of performance cars goes up with each generation, it’s harder and harder for enthusiasts to afford fun cars for hooning about in. Well, good news everyone!

The new BMW 8-series looks like a pretty sweet ride already, but there’s just something about being able to drop the top while carving corners on a great road. Fortunately, BMW has ragtop fans covered with the new 8 Series Convertible.

Among the numerous custom cars and trucks at SEMA 2018, Hennessey Performance turned up with its 2019 VelociRaptor V8. The performance tuners tore out the stock EcoBoost V6 engine and put a 5.0-liter V8 with a 2.9-liter supercharger under the hood.
