We Went to Japan's SEMA. It Was Incredible

Tokyo Auto Salon is one of the great wonders of the car world. It’s the land of the Japanese performance aftermarket, the Mecca of tuners like HKS, RE Amemiya, and Top Secret. And it’s been on my bucket list since I started reading blogs in the early 2010s.

SEMA Is Becoming the Center of the Automotive Universe

SEMA is many things all at once. It’s the home to almost the entire aftermarket industry, playing host to a billion-dollar (with a B) industry. It’s also the home of the Bluetooth driveshaft and the overfender nationals. What it hasn’t been, historically, is a home for automakers to display their…

I Want To Go Off-Grid In Kia's PV5 WKNDR Electric Van

Falling in love with a concept car is setting yourself up to fail. The vast majority of them never become real vehicles, and those that do often end up disappointingly far from their striking original designs. For every BMW i8, we also get about 50 Pontiac Azteks. But love isn't…

Kia's Off-Road Van And EV9 Are The Perfect Electric Escape

Kia isn't much of a name in the overlanding scene. Despite experimenting with a body-on-frame V-8 SUV in the Aughts with the short-lived Borrego (sold through this year as the Mohave in other markets), off-roading hasn't really been a focus for the Korean brand. The Telluride may look tough, but…

This Is the Prettiest Plymouth Barracuda Restomod You'll Ever See

Muscle car EV swaps are all the rage these days. In fact, Mopar built a battery-powered Plymouth GTX for SEMA this year. But Ringbrothers isn't going the electrified route.
