Under the Audi corporate umbrella, Lamborghini isn’t as wild as it was in the Countach era, but perhaps that’s for the better. Business wasn’t exactly booming back then, and the company seemed to change hands every other week. Its lowest point came in late 1978 when it filed for bankruptcy.…

Ever since the EQS debuted in 2021, Mercedes has faced harsh criticism over the design of its electric vehicles. We can all agree the production version wasn’t nearly as sleek as the 2019 Vision EQS concept. However, in the company’s defense, I do think the EQS looks better in person…
