Rendered: Lincoln Corsair Coupe
Crossover coupes are a hot item in the luxury segment right now, with BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and several others already having jumped into that space. Despite increasing crossover coupes–which aren’t really coupes at all, but do have fastback styling–from foreign competitors, no American brands have released any alternatives thus far.

Is a new Ford sedan in the works?
Back in March of 2019, the Ford Taurus officially ended production. The Taurus had a long and successful history in the United States with thousands still on the road today.

Detroit delays restarts, GM and Ford grab cash as Ford loses billions
Detroit automakers were planning to restart production on May 4, barring any interventions by state governors—but it appears Michigan’s governor, not to mention the UAW, had other ideas.

Bronco vs. Wrangler – A battle a long time in the making
The Jeep Wrangler can trace its lineage back to the old military Jeeps. Rumor has it that in the 1960s, Ford wanted a bigger part of the military market (which Ford saw as potentially very profitable) and the original Ford Bronco was an attempt to lure the military away from the Jeep designs. If so, […]
Oh, what midsize truck should I get?
Before we start on the pickups, let’s talk web sites. Chevrolet gives you all the information you could possibly want, straight up, without fuss; and the numbers stay the same as you go through. It’s a pleasure to deal with Chevrolet’s fast-loading, gimmick-free web site. Then there’s Toyota, where the numbers keep changing, almost randomly. […]
In virus-clobbered sales, Toyota beat Jeep in SUVs, Gladiator beat Frontier, and more
Sales figures for the first quarter of 2020 are out, and it’s not pretty, largely due to the coronavirus—as well as the air being let out of America’s economic bubble. Between closed dealerships and a stock market suddenly plunging to more realistic levels, wiping out a couple of years of fast gains, car sales plummeted […]
