BMW: i Might Be the New M

As a relative lone wolf, BMW is going to have to be flexible enough to fulfill the upcoming expectations of CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency) Standards. By 2021, companies will need to average 40-41 miles per gallon lest they face fierce fines. This should be easier for diverse companies like GM, Volkswagen, and Toyota who have a large spectrum of vehicles to balance out (i.e. the Bolt comp

The BMW M4 GTS is the Coolest

BMW is world renowned for their performance cars. Their M power engineers are almost unbelievable; they make sedans that compete with super cars. M3s are considered to be the benchmark at which car handling is compared. The M3 E90 Saloon (5th generation M3 (2007-2011)) was faster as a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder (2006-) around the Top Gear test track. This year BMW thought that normal M Power was

Volkswagen Deserves a Break

Volkswagen committed an atrocity, worse even than making tanks for Hitler. They (or at least someone) willfully allowed toxic NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) gases to dissipate into the atmosphere. They no doubt need to recompense, but $48 Billion is just too much. That is an insane precedent to be set, and wildly unnecessary. No company in history could survive a hit like that, $48 Billion is over 75 perce

What is Baidu, 什麼是 Google?

Baidu, is a key competitor to Google, and the average american has probably never even heard of it... until recently that is. However, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for that; like AT&T and Comcast; they typically do not compete in the same areas. Generally, the two companies occupy two totally different hemispheres. In fact, the written word Baidu probably precedes the phrase “Wh

The Rise of RoboCars

By the 1990s; before autonomous autos even became a fantasy; most technology in cars were in a bit of a rut, most or all of the major technologies necessary for an internal combustion engine to work properly was discovered. Then it became a shootout, how much power could be generated from one engine? The habit was so ingrained that even mechanics devoted themselves to improving on the manufacturer

Electric Appologies: Volkswagen Passenger Cars

Volkswagen Passenger Cars has a long road of recovery ahead. It went from the largest automaker in the world, and likely the most trusted and highly regarded, to the absolute scourge of the highway system. Before the reign of Winterkorn all of the cars were top notch quality for bottom rung pricing. My Jetta, the last generation before Winterkorn’s beautiful abomination was released, being both of

2016 Honda Civic Does Not Mess About

Technically, Honda has produced the best Civic ever. It far supersedes its previous iteration in every aspect, it is even up for car of the year awards for multiple publications, Beyond that, it seems to be attempting to redefine its own segment (compact sedans). The 2016 Honda Civic, is aiming for the stratosphere; it does not mess about trying to out-scrimp its bare-boned competition, instead it

Electric Auto Evolution

The Electric Auto market has been around for many years, far longer than many would assume. In fact, the first time a full electric auto was made was in the 1830s. However, who was first is unknown, there are 3 contenders. A Scottish inventor by the name of Robert Anderson, made an electric carriage sometime between 1832 and 1839. If his rudimentary electric car was contrived prior to 1835; Mr. An

Birth of an Icon: Ford Motor Company

The Ford GT in many ways embodies its company’s spirit better than any of its siblings. Not only is it the most technologically advanced car, but it sets an example for all the family. It can be argued that the GT is not considered the Ford Motor Company icon, but this generation birthed unequivocally Detroit’s street smartest auto. A vaster portion of the population think: Model T, Mustang or F-

Ford Googles how to Drive

Recently, a high stakes coupling of Google and Ford Motor Company; had all those who knew an involved source, speculating as to what the particulars of the deal might be. All in all, all that was truly certain was that both companies’ partnership statuses on LinkedIn was on working on it with no official word. Now, both Google and Ford Motor Company have weirdsies as their current status. Despite
