Changes to the Honda Civic

Traditionally, Honda Civics are known for versatility. In the 90s the goal may have been decking one out to the max, until it either pushed out 600 horsepower, or fell to pieces. In the new millennium, it meant that you could put anything into the tank to serve your function. You could use CNG, Diesel, hybrid technology, pure adrenaline or plain gasoline to propel the engine. Most of those changes

Sports Injected Honda Civic?

For many years now the words Civic Si have inspired awe. Not because the car is super fancy or ridiculously fast, but because it was usually indicative of a smart gear head. It was considered to be a sports car, injected with more livability than even the base Honda Civic, which by the way is a fantastic car. Allow me to reiterate, objectively speaking, the Si is a spectacular car. To find anythi

Mazda Miata: Is it a Sports Car?

The Mazda Miata has been around for years. It is small, accurate two-seater, with a proven sales record. In fact, it is the highest selling ‘sports car’ in history, selling over 900,000 units. Do not get me wrong, it is a great little car. A light little convertible with rear wheel drive, and barely enough power to get the back-end out. That (in theory), is all a sports car needs. However, I propo

Last of the Mustang Beating Chevrolet Camaro

The fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro was huge for GM, it was the first time that Chevy ever outsold Ford in the mid-range muscle car category. This was even after Ford had regained prominence themselves with the nameless marketing campaign. For those who have a life, the nameless campaign I am referring to was a series of innovative commercials that reinvented the Ford Brand. The campaign only s

Scion FR-S: Not for the Squeamish

The Scion FR-S is a car that I have been craving a spin in for a while and I recently got my chance. I went into Don McGill Scion off of I-10 in Katy, Texas and was delighted upon walking into the showroom. The car they had dead center of the showroom first to be seen when walking in wasn’t even technically a Toyota, it was a white Lexus LFA. The LFA was widely considered to be one of the best ca

BMW Doubles Down on Production of its Green Car Award Winning i8

Sales of the BMW i8were brisk in 2014—after all, the BMW Group sold out of every i8 vehicle it manufactured last year—and they have continued to sell well in the first few months of 2015. So with that level of success, it only makes sense for BMW to keep giving customers what they want. According to Green Car Reports, BMW plans on doubling sales of its “i” plug-in electric

Kia Soul EV to Make its Lone Star State Debut This June

By popular demand, the Kia Soul EVwill be sold in five states this summer: Georgia, Hawaii, Oregon, Texas and Washington. Kia’s announcement comes on the heels of the successful launch of the Soul EV in California in late 2014. According to Kia, customers in these states "expressed significant interest"in the Soul EV. There would appear to be an electric vehicle infrastructure capable of sup

Want a Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang? Get in Line - A Very Short Line

The 2015 Ford Shelby GT350 and GT350R Mustang are among the most highly anticipated products of 2015 this side of the Apple Watch. The only difference is that there are plenty of Apple Watches available for sale. As for the number of all-new Shelbys, that figures to be significantly less. Ford announced today that they’re only building 100 Sheby GT350 vehicles for the 2015 model run. As for the s
