Cheap Thrill: 2006-2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer SS
The basic ingredients in any Chevy SS vehicle are a big engine, intimidating looks, and lots of badges. SuperSport models are usually based on whatever's popular at the time, and nothing was more trendy in the mid-2000s than the midsize SUV. So SS engineers crammed a 6.0L big block under the hood of a midsize Chevy Trailblazer. Then they gave it a very un-soccer mom look to match its baby-eating exhaust growl. There's nothing timid about this SS-UV, which makes it a terrific cheap thrill...

Review of the 2015 Hyundai Sonata: You've Come a Long Way!
As a member of a family that owned at 1989 Hyundai Sonata, I can tell you that even though I was still in single digits age-wise, I knew then that we had gotten the strange sounding car (I had to be told about a hundred times that no, it was not a Honda), that we chose that car out of necessity and not luxury. It was the best bang for the buck that could hold our expanding family, and, truth be told, it did a very commendable, if not extravagant, job at accomplishing what it was built for.

U.S. Lawmakers Delay Work On Law That Mandates Noisemakers for EV's
Electric cars have always been known not only for their exceptional fuel economy figures, they are extremely quiet. This has helped reduce noise pollution, but unfortunately has created a new problem due to the cars wreaking havoc on pedestrians, especially the visually impaired.

Lincoln Revival To Not Include Rear Wheel Drive, Brand Identity; Core Models To Remain Center Stage
With the recent resurgence of Lincoln these days, it is easy to forget that just a few years ago Ford was ready to put the proverbial axe to Lincoln. With sales that were on life support, and models that failed to standout in the crowded luxury market, things looked bleak for Ford's luxury division. However, thanks to new models such as the MKC crossover, as well as the updated MKZ, sales have seen a 7.3 percent increase through the month of October and look to continue their trend upward through the month of November. While the 2017 MKZ debuts a new and improved styling language, Lincoln representatives revealed that the brand still plans to keep a calculated pace in its revival plans.

Great Cars That Nobody Bought: 2008-2013 Volvo C30
On American roads, the 2008–2013 Volvo C30 is a bit of a unicorn. It's a sexy three-door hatchback that offers loads of style and a surprising amount of performance. Problem was, it was built by your mother's favorite car company, and nobody outside of her garden club even knew that it existed. Which is too bad, because this Volvo P1800 successor had a lot to offer...
