Millennials are making the online and in-store connection a reality
Think back to the most important retail moments of the last 50 years. What would you put on your list of the top ten? The Great Recession of 2007 would surely make it, and perhaps the introduction of SUVs, along with other models. Most likely, the emergence of the Internet would be right at the
Camaro v. Mustang: All American Bragging Rights
Sit down, Toyota Camry. And you, Honda Accord — you may be as American-made as any car ever built, but this is about being American. That’s American as in apple pie, baseball, drive-in movies, bikinis and game shows. About the vehicles that have helped define the unique look and driving experience that created an emotional
They Go Together in the Good Ole USA
From Riverside County to Julian, through the desert to 29 Palms, Tempe, Tucson, Calexico, San Diego and back to Riverside County, the 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe averaged 13.9 miles per gallon. At three bucks a gallon — and climbing — along with a 26-gallon tank, that’s almost $80 to go about 360 miles. In an old America that eats, drives and does what it wants, in an America that celebrates largess no matter what the cost, this means little. In today’s America, however, where heroes are drug-tested and kids are obese, where the amount of oil in the ground and the distance your car can go on one gallon matters – a lot – that tattooed 13.9 on the hood of the 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe is just not coming together for what people in the good ol’ USA really need.
Jeep Wrangler: Where the Road Ain’t
Jeep Wrangler — Photo Gallery: As part of my evaluation of the 2007 Jeep Wrangler, I spent a day on the Rubicon Trail in Northern California and got up close and personal with the SUV, expanded my limits and learned a thing or two about Jeep, the Rubicon, and life on the rocky ledge. Stuck
The Clean-burning, Efficient Car Guide
You stop at the gas station, slide the credit card, tap in your zip code and bam — you’re staring back at a hard, cold reality in brilliant LCD: $80 to fill up your SUV. Such is the state of life in America. And consider this: let’s say you purchased a large SUV two years
The Grille Says USA, but that Car is an Import. Or is it?
Published at www.autobytel.com on June 28, 2008 Introduction Workers allow only Ford vehicles into the parking lot. A group of Big Three retirees get together and spend their pensions on a website dedicated to proving what it means to be American made. A foreign company publishes billboards that tout its decades-long commitment to America, and
Life on the Road: SEMA Las Vegas
 It is here where sheetmetal gets its personality. Where engines and tires, previously built to behave, learn about rude manners and burnouts. Here – in Las Vegas. Where the sun is the only thing brighter than the night. For the automotive faithful, it’s called the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association trade show, or SEMA, and
Chevrolet Camaro
MSRP: Not announced, but you can bet the price will be competitive with the Ford Mustang. That means a base model at around $21,000, with the top ‘o the line SSÂ getting close to $30,000. Sounds good, true, until you factor in dealer markup. So save your pennies and come back later when things settle down.
Camaro Convertible Concept
The first Camaro I fell in love with was the vehicular equivalent of a pound dog. My buddy’s car, it was a hideous collage of primer, weird green paint and scratches, a mean-sounding and rough ’68 model on its last legs. Sadly for him, that was one year shy of what many think of as
