Ford Announces US-Bound Ranger, Bronco; What Does This Mean for Our Ranger and Everest?
Twelve years after Ford teased the return of the Bronco (some of the accompany photos in this story is a design concept done way back in 2004), they have finally confirmed the rumors: it’s coming back to American showrooms in 2020. In the same breath, they’ve also announced the return of their mid-sized pickup truck on American soil: the Ranger. That one is arriving stateside in 2019. While it’s hard to fully understand why Americans are having their panties in a twist over the Bronco and Ranger, what’s more important is what this means for the global Ranger and Everest.

2017 NAIAS: Kia Stinger Makes Korean Cars Look Sexy Cool
There a slight air of disappointment when Kia unveiled the production version of the Stinger. It’s certainly not the same lightweight, no frills sports car concept that took the world by surprise at the 2014 North American International Auto Show. In the span of three years it has grown two more doors to become Kia’s sports sedan. Yes, the Stinger is a sports sedan. Still, it manages to fulfill the GT Concept’s premise which was to build the sportiest Kia ever.

NAIAS 2015: Chevrolet Volt is a Sexy Electric Vehicle
Chevrolet is taking a crack at the extended-range EV vehicle (EREV) market with the 2016 Volt. After being lauded for its technology, the previous Volt failed to live up to sales expectations due to a less than enthusiastic reaction from the North American market and the arrival of offerings such as the Tesla Model S. Chevrolet aims to change that with the all-new, second-generation Volt which features a top-down re-think.
