A Different Take on Smart Doors Automakers have been tinkering with smarter doors for years. Luxury brands already have soft-close doors, powered sliders, and even front doors that open and shut with a button. Some cars use sensors to warn you if a door is about to hit something. Others just use heavier door checks to keep swings in check. Ford’s latest idea doesn’t go all-in on motors or stick with old-school resistance. Instead, it steps in only when something’s about to go wrong. The aim is s

Sedan Comeback Soon? Save for the Mustang, Ford made the decision to discontinue its non-SUV models way back in 2018. It applied to most markets, and what followed was the successive axing of long-running and successful models. It started with the Taurus, followed by the Fusion, Mondeo, Fiesta, and most recently, the Focus. Years later, Ford might be backtracking on that decision. The Fiesta could come back as an EV hatchback, and sedans are back on the table again, according to the company's CE

Subaru didn’t have the brightest 2025 in the United States, as sales were down 3.6% compared to 2024. Unfortunately, this downward trend has continued into the new year, with the Japanese brand seeing a 9.1% year-on-year drop in sales in January 2026. Like Honda in its own sales report, Subaru pointed to severe winter storms as one of the main challenges last month, causing temporary closures at several locations. Still, Subaru will be disappointed that only two of its nine model lines managed t

Subaru’s February Hero Subaru reported U.S. sales of 45,113 vehicles in February 2026, an 8.2-percent decline from the same period last year. However, it wasn’t all bad news, as the Forester recorded its best February sales ever, with 17,919 units sold — up 24.9 percent from February 2025. The Forester — a direct rival to the Toyota RAV4 — was one of only two Subaru models to post a sales increase last month. It is available with a hybrid powertrain, allowing it to capitalize on the strong deman

You might not need it again General Motors made a bold move that might prompt you to reconsider whether you actually need Apple CarPlay. Starting today, the automaker is rolling out native Apple Music integration to select 2025 and newer Chevrolet and Cadillac models, bypassing your iPhone entirely and plugging the streaming service directly into your vehicle’s infotainment system. Unlike CarPlay, this isn’t Apple Music mirrored from your phone; it runs directly on GM’s software platform that po

Between its potent performance, gorgeous lines, and presence in the James Bond film Goldfinger, the Aston Martin DB5 has achieved legendary status. It also paved the way for today's powerful Aston Martin GTs. The grand tourer’s rarity—just 1,022 models were built between 1963 and 1965—is another factor contributing to its desirability, which is why a Welshman named John Williams refused to give up the DB5 he bought in the early 1970s. Now, thanks to Aston Martin Works, Williams’ DB5 has been f

How do so many cool cars and trucks get forgotten and left to return back to the earth? It always makes me wonder, and then I look at the pile of cars and trucks I have sitting around at the shop and wonder no more. I’ve got enough projects for 5 regular people, or 3 hardcore car junkies. Derek at Vice Grip Garage has enough for 30 or more. In the video below he’s back at it, this time with this awesome big block powered Bronco. It’s been damaged in a fire, which never does a vehicle any good, s

Turning Up the Volume Again After Formula 1 switched to hybridized V6 engines in 2014, fans complained about the loss of the thrilling sound produced by the old V8s. With all the talk around sustainability and emissions, engines with more cylinders seemed unlikely to return to the grid. But that could change, as Reuters reported that FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem said a switch back to V8s is expected by the end of the decade. The return to V8s would likely be made possible by sustainable fu

Viewers of Formula 1 over the last couple of years will know the sport is standing on the precipice of a massive identity crisis. The 2026 power unit regulations promised a radical shakeup: a strict 50-50 split between traditional internal combustion power and electric energy. Viewers and participants were not entirely positive about this move. Thankfully, the administration and team management have found a way to address this issue - keeping the visceral nature of the sport alive.

You never know what you are going to find when you plan on visiting some project cars in a barn. Half the fun of picking up cars that have been sitting for years is looking to see what else might have been left to sit with them. Sometimes it is parts or memorabilia or misc shop stuff, and sometimes it is other cars that you didn’t seen in a listing. That’s what happened here, and you are going to want to watch to see just how a Ferrari stays hidden in a barn like this. Video Description: Join
