The newest Dodge Charger entered the market with an ambitious electric-first strategy, but customer demand is already reshaping that plan. Dodge introduced the Charger Daytona as a modern interpretation of American muscle, pairing strong acceleration with battery power and a simulated exhaust system. Technical ability alone has not produced the expected enthusiasm. Many traditional Charger […]
In discussions of classic American muscle cars, names such as Dodge, Chevrolet, Ford, and Pontiac are always top dog. While Plymouth definitely holds its own when considering its contributions-Road Runner, Barracuda, winged Superbird-most of its performance lineage largely gets overlooked. From big-block behemoths aimed at boulevard cruisin’ to compact-size street-stalkers, the Plymouth nameplate brandished some […]
Very few aircraft stirred the imagination during the cold war like the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. It was more than just a recon aircraft but rather a fantastical machine conceived on the theory that, of all things, velocity and altitude would guarantee safety. At altitude of more than 15 miles, at speeds in excess of Mach […]
There are few motor vehicles as intrinsically linked to freedom and the open road as the Volkswagen Type 2 Microbus, with its recognizable smiley face silhouette becoming something of an icon during the 1950s and ‘60s an alternative mode of transport for the youthful, nomadic lifestyle. Volkswagen, of course, has taken their sweet time trying […]
The future seems to possess a stealth like ability to enter upon us-a reality once viewed, as being relegated to sci-fi movies now takes place on actual streets-driverless car carrying people while someone without need to put the hands behind the wheel rests in back. Nowhere is this reality as apparent as Texas. This is […]
While Pontiacs were known for the ubiquitous big, American V8’s, the menacing designs, and of course such classic performance models as the GTO, the Firebird, and Trans Am, the musclecar era also produced at least one of these GM vehicles that flew in the face of established convention. Forsaking the customary domestic V8 the lone, […]
Lexus cars were designed from the ground up to marry luxury with comfort and mechanical integrity over the long run. As is the case with many luxury cars, they become more complex and expensive the longer you keep them. That being said, the owner’s history of the average Lexus vehicle indicates that they continue to […]
A handful of aircraft have managed to inspire as much wonder as the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. It was designed in the heart of the cold war to gather intelligence without any nation having an intercept capable aircraft or missile available to reach it and through a blend of advanced materials, speed, high altitude and reconnaissance […]
Ford Motor Company is attempting to reinvent affordable transportation more than a century after the Model T transformed personal mobility. Its newest effort centers on the Ford Fathom, a midsize electric pickup expected to reach customers in 2027 with a starting MSRP of $28,350 before destination charges. Rather than adapting an existing gasoline-powered truck, Ford […]

The new approach: an upcoming midsize electric truck dubbed the Ford Fathom, anticipated to hit dealers in 2027. The Fathom will carry an MSRP of $28,350 before destination fees and, rather than […]
