    How ya'll doing? Might start shopping around our '21 Pilot EX-L to some Honda dealers for a lease buyout to see if they can match Carvana's offer which is 10K over what we owe. Seeing some Flex's on Craigslist and such in the 10K range albeit high miles, how do these things hold up and what...

    Frank Welsch, Volkswagen’s head of R&D says that the brand’s hunger for SUVs is nearly sated. Although not quitedone with introducing new SUVs and crossovers, Welsch told Autocar that the brand won’t produce many more. “I don’t think [the growth in SUVs] is over, but we have enough,” Welsch...

    A few weeks ago when information about the e-tron S first dropped , there were static shots of the SEV (we're coining it) drifting on a track. They were lovely shots, but it's one thing to see a picture, and another altogether to see 30 pictures per second. Yes, Audi is continuing the rich...

    A quick look at the comments on our ID.3 reveal story shows that Volkswagen devotees who like the car are upset they won’t be able to buy it. Unfortunately, despite the warm welcome the ID.3 is receiving in the press, Volkswagen USA president Scott Keogh told CarBuzz that he still thinks the...

    Lamborghini will start racing its new SUV in an attempt to prove that it’s just as super as any of its cars, but we shouldn’t forget about the LM002, its first SUV, which was pretty super in its own right. With a Countach-derived V12 pumping out more than 400 hp, the LM002 was capable of...

    Through the end of October, Volkswagen of America’s efforts to gain a 5 percent share of the country’s new vehicle market (by 2020) continued apace, with sales up 5 percent over the same period a year earlier. This sales bump has two crossovers to thank, not cars. No, definitely not cars...

    The world of crossovers keeps getting smaller and Volkswagen wants in on the shrinking fun. To that end it has introduced its smallest crossover yet, the T-Cross. While we don’t expect that this will ever be offered for sale in America, it will be sold and build in Europe, China, and South...

    When I was younger I had a friend whose dad was something of a low-key hot rodder. Blessed with the type of income that only the baby boom could have provided for, he also had a great big cabin cruiser. Naturally, he wanted it to make more power, but when he asked his marine mechanic to put...

    A team of high school students from the Czech Republic have made a one-off convertible concept based on the Karoq crossover. The project was a year-long effort for the students of the Skoda vocational school. The secondary school teaches technical skills like mechanical and electrical...

    Plenty of digital ink was invested in Ford’s recent decision to let all their cars rot on the vine exit the small car and sedan market . If the company follows through on its plans, and we have little reason to believe it won’t, we will soon be living in a world absent of Fiestas, Foci...

    The SUVs again helped buoy VW's forward charge in March. Sales for the brand rose nearly 18% last month and nearly half of that was thanks to the Atlas, Touareg, and the Tiguans. The new Tiguan was the biggest single seller for VW in March, with sales of 8,200. There's no data point from March...

    When Lamborghini announced it was making an SUV, enthusiasts weren’t too happy about it. But now Lamborghini is proving why the Urus is important to its lineup, and why Ferrari is following in Lamborghini’s footsteps with an SUV of its own. Speaking to CNBC, Lamborghini CEO Stefano Domenicali...

    Ahead of its premiere at the Beijing auto show this spring, the next-generation Volkswagen Touareg has appeared in an official teaser video wearing next to nothing, as far as camo goes. Crisp lines and upmarket styling cues set this VW utility vehicle apart from, say, the three-row Atlas, which...

    The Lamborghini Urus is one of the most highly anticipated and equally loved and despised cars of the year. Even if you hate “coupe SUVs” and are against everything the Urus represents, you can’t help but be impressed. This unique vehicle introduces a lot of firsts for Lamborghini and people...

    Audi recently took a patent out on a new type of convertible folding mechanism that allows for a convertible to be designed with B and D pillars. The patent shows a very basic, two-box-design vehicle whose roof is broken into three parts in order to fold away and stow behind the rear seats...

    The 2019 Audi Q8 has been spied fully exposed, providing the best look yet at the German automaker’s upcoming flagship crossover. As the “coupe” version of the Q7, the Q8 has a more aggressive design and shades of the Lamborghini Urus from some angles, which makes sense since they share...

    The Urus always has been, and continues to be met with skepticism in the press: a Lamborghini SUV without L, M, 0, or 2 in the title? Seems wrong. It looks like the people who actually sell the things, though, are less skeptical. Although the car hasn't even actually hit dealers yet, and...
