The fifth-generation Toyota Supra has been an acquired taste for some automotive enthusiasts considering its heavy BMW underpinnings mixed with Toyota style. However, in the full scheme of fun rear-wheel-drive sports cars the new Supra has gained notoriety in all the right places winning over the hearts of many younger enthusiasts, which is a good thing for the Toyota brand. For the 2023 model year things get very interesting, and FUN, with the addition of a 6-speed manual transmission option that I had the chance to check out this week with a growing smile on my face.

Performance and Driving Character

I’ve always praised the new Toyota Supra since my first run with the two-seater RWD (rear-wheel-drive) sports car when it was first introduced as a 2020 model. Having the inspired drivetrain that comes from BMW and chassis workings of the BMW Z4, the new Supra adds a new

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year is off to an intriguing start with some innovative products. In the circle of the automotive world, there are a few surprises, one being the introduction of the Ram 1500 Revolution BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) Truck Concept that’s getting all of the headlines.

What we have here at CES is in concept form, but a lot of inspiration for what we will see in production form in a few months. Ram has been busy teasing us with an electric truck, but we feel that their come-from-behind tactic will pay off big to potentially best current EV trucks and the forthcoming General Motors’ EV pickups. Such an approach has given Ram and its Stellantis powers that be the upper hand in bringing some innovation to the market for what they think an EV truck should look like and offer under its uniquely-styled sheet

When buying a car, you will find vehicles with various titles, such as clean titles, salvage titles, and rebuilt titles. Out of all of them, salvage title cars are the most economical. This is because salvage cars are officially considered a total loss because they sustain severe damage through accidents or natural disasters. 

After buying a vehicle with this title, you will have to make repairs and get a rebuilt title from the DMV. As salvage vehicles are not safe to drive on the roads and require repairs, you need to consider their restoration cost with the purchase price. 

There are other important things you should learn before finalizing the deal of a salvage car. Keep scrolling to learn what they are!

Understand the Extent of the Vehicle’s Damage

Before purchasing a salvage automobile, do not conclude the deal without evaluating the car. As you have to make the repairs

Market growth for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to accelerate as companies improve battery technology and public recharging infrastructure and overcome barriers to purchase, such as high prices. Surging EV sales are testimony to this fact.

During H1 2022, sales of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) stood at 4.3 million, up 62% against H1 2021. For the full year 2022, the number of BEVs is expected to reach 8 million, while PHEVs will reach 2.6 million, according to the EV-Volumes report.

The growing adoption of EVs has gradually dispelled consumers’ concerns about their range, price, and reliability. Many consumers, however, are unaware of post-purchase service scenarios, especially those related to batteries. The battery is the most expensive part of an EV. Its failure, or gradual

The automotive industry is far from immune from the workforce shortage, with the UK publication This is Money reporting that the country will see a 160,000 shortfall of staff by 2031. While the sector has traditionally led the way with automation on the production line, it fed those processes manually from a logistics point of view.

We’re aware of the extent to which the labour shortages are affecting industries, especially automotive. I have been having conversations with various carmakers who are facing a 50-100 person shortfall in their workforce. On top of that, the cost-of-living crisis is reducing the demand for new cars. Carmakers are therefore facing tough decisions to reduce or redeploy their workforce to stay competitive. This is where automation can support. While parts of
