Ford has finally redesigned the Ranger after more than a decade since the T6 model was introduced at the 2010 Australian International Motor Show. Confirmed by the Ford Motor Company with U.S. dealerships in July 2020, the Bronco features a specific variant of the 

The Chevrolet Blazer story begins in 1969 with the K5, a full-size SUV based on the C/K family of pickups. General Motors then added the S-10 Blazer, followed by the S-10 TrailBlazer trim level and standalone model.

Codenamed S30, the Datsun 240Z served as inspiration for the all-new Z for the 2023 model year. Although it’s a much nicer design than the 370Z it replaces, Chip Foose believes that it needs even more 240Z styling cues.

The same can be said about the all-new Astra, which features a French vehicle architecture and oily bits from Groupe PSA even though it’s s...

Codenamed W201, the precursor to the Mercedes-Benz C-Class line of compact executive sedans entered production in 1982 after eight years of research and development to the tune of two billion German marks. That’s more than two billion dollars in today’s money, which explains the brand’s industry-leading build quality and reliability during that bygone epoch.

For this year’s Halloween, the peeps at Dodge have Frankensteined a Charger with bits and bobs from the Challenger to create a rendering.

Introduced in 1952 by the W194 racing car, the SL has entered the 2022 model year with a brand-new platform developed by AMG. The seventh-generation will be available in 55 and 63 specifications at launch, both of them with 4Matic+ all-wheel drive and fully variable torque distribution.
