A Sheltered Life In Upstate New York Turned This 1967 Buick Electra 225 Into A Time Capsule

In hindsight, witnessing the replacement of long-heralded model names during the late Fifties shouldn’t have come as a surprise to the public. A case study is Buick. While Special, Super, Century, Roadmaster, and Limited spoke volumes about each model’s purpose and division hierarchy, those names–which began appearing in 1935–had inevitably lost some punch. Like it… The post A Sheltered Life In Upstate New York Turned This 1967 Buick Electra 225...

24 Fastest Sedans in the World, Ranked

The crossover threatens it with extinction, but sedans already evolved from family practicality and executive comfort into a fierce competitor on the track. Some are categorized as sports sedans, while others don’t care for titles as long as they deliver beastly performance to rival much lighter sports cars. As mentioned in a previous post, this list is limited to 24 entries. As much as we’d like to include every fast sedan we know, we have no choice but to pick a few to represent others with similar speed figures. Another thing to remember is that slight variations in performance figures are normal, as testing protocols can be complicated. If you know any sedan more deserving to be on this list, we can’t wait to hear all about it in the comment section. Indeed, some sedans out there will go toe-to-toe with many here, but we invested time and effort to select the faster models. When the same model or trim has a uniform performance from different model years, we select whichever we consider the better car. Having said all that, these are the 24 fastest sedans in the world, ranked by acceleration and quarter-mile speed.

13 Crazy Fast Sports Cars From the 1980s

Every decade produces its share of automotive history, and the 1980s are mostly remembered as the golden era for exhilarating, analog performance cars. Thanks to the boom in cutting-edge technology, the evolution to consumer-driven marketing, and the growing pop culture influence, the resurgence from the malaise era gave us some incredibly fast sports cars. The technological renaissance of the 1980s delivered goodies like turbochargers, electronic fuel injectors, engine control units, catalytic converters, and all-wheel drive that elevated sports car performance to stratospheric levels. On the other hand, pop culture and consumer preference influenced not just performance but also the gorgeous sports car designs that inspired today’s models. We ranked the fastest sports cars from the 1980s based on their 0-60 mph times, as provided by enthusiast website Zeroto60Times. However, our list excludes racing cars, tuned cars, and prototypes like the Audi Sport Quattro (3.1 sec), Lancia Delta S4 (3.5 sec), and RUF CTR Yellowbird (3.7 sec).

13 Hidden Features You’ve Missed in Your Car

Chances are your car, no matter the make or model, has some hidden features that can significantly enhance your driving experience. We live in a fast-paced world where humans hardly have time to read their cellphone’s user manual, let alone the 400 to 500-page car owner’s manual waiting patiently in the glove box. Perhaps, our dwindling attention span is why automakers like Rivian and Tesla go out of their way to hide Easter Eggs for their customers to devote time and attention to discover. These hidden treasures, when found, can enhance the driving experience or even the quality of life. Similarly, many hidden gems that aren’t Easter eggs go unnoticed because they’re buried deep amidst the array of bells and whistles in modern automobiles. We’ve dug up 13 of such hidden features.

13 Japanese SUVs That’ll Last You a Lifetime

If there’s one thing that Japanese automakers like Toyota, Subaru, and Honda are known for, it’s their bulletproof reliability. This reputation was largely earned by small cars like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, but their SUVs have also lived up to the high reliability standards gearheads have come to expect from Japanese cars. SUVs are currently the best-selling vehicles in the country, and it’s easy to see why. Few vehicles can match the versatility SUVs offer — they’re good-looking (well, some of them), spacious enough for the whole family, capable of driving through tough terrains and weather conditions, and can be fast if you opt for their performance versions. However, all these qualities are useless if the SUV keeps breaking down on you, which is why it’s important to prioritize reliability. Using reliable resources like J.D. Power, RepairPal, and CarEdge, we scoured the market and found some of the most reliable Japanese SUVs you can buy today, including new and used options.
