Xpeng G6 begins a real five year EV ownership story

This first episode begins a real long term ownership series with the Xpeng G6 AWD Performance. After reviewing the car earlier and comparing it with other options, Peter was impressed enough to choose it as his personal car through a five year private lease. This series is different from a normal one week review because it follows what the G6 is like in daily life over time. Future episodes will explore real range, efficiency in different weather, charging and fast charging, family practicality, boot space, rear seat comfort, navigation, cameras in fog, climate controls, cabin noise in rain, and how well the car fits into everyday places like underground parking garages. The series is not paid promotion, but cooperation with Xpeng may allow deeper access to factories, service centers, and behind the scenes content. It is a practical ownership story built around real questions from daily EV life.

20 cars that almost saved their company

Every automaker eventually hits a point where the balance sheet stops leaving room for error, and the only way out is one specific car doing everything right. Sometimes that car actually pulls it off, buying the company another decade or two of relevance. Other times it comes agonizingly close, wins over critics and buyers alike, and still isn't enough to stop the bleeding. What connects all of these vehicles is the pressure behind them: engineers and executives betting the whole operation on a single design reaching showrooms in time. Here's 20 cars that carried the weight of their entire company on their shoulders.

I hammered the Nissan Armada Pro-4X off-road - then drove it nearly 1,000 miles

I Hammered the Nissan ArmaA nearly 1,000-mile drive from Los Angeles to Boulder, Colorado puts the latest Armada Pro-4X through a serious long-distance test, after it had already been hammered through desert sand, dunes and rocky off-road terrain. Its air suspension can provide up to 11.7 inches of ground clearance, backed by a 33-degree approach angle, 24.5-degree departure angle, real skid plates, recovery hooks and a locking rear differential. Under the hood is a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 425 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic, but the nearly 6,000-pound SUV averaged only around 17 MPG during the cross-country drive.

A sporty little Toyota that works best in the city

The 2026 Toyota Aygo X GR Sport gives Toyota’s tiny city car a much sharper and more playful personality. With its compact body under 3.8 meters long, two tone design, black roof, yellow accents, 18 inch wheels, GR badges, and crossover stance, it looks more special than a normal Aygo X. Toyota also adds more than just styling, with 15 percent stiffer suspension and retuned steering for a slightly more responsive feel. Inside, the GR details continue with a perforated leather steering wheel, contrast stitching, GR seats, physical climate controls, JBL audio, wireless charging, and a large infotainment screen. The 115 HP hybrid system feels smart and efficient in city traffic, with EV driving at low speeds and simple drive modes. However, rear space is very limited, cabin materials are basic, and motorway comfort is not its strength. At over 30000 euros, the GR Sport is fun, but the smarter buy may be a mid spec Aygo X or a larger Toyota Yaris.

How the Mini changed motoring

In 1957, car designer Alec Issigonis sat down in his studio and produced some rough sketches of what would turn out to be the blueprints for one of the most revolutionary automobiles of the 20th century—the Mini. The story of how this little people-carrier was created is as fascinating as it is unlikely, emerging as it did out of a fuel crisis that caused global supply shortages and sent gas prices soaring. The car is as popular today as when it first rolled off the production line nearly 70 years ago. But how did the diminutive Mini make such a huge and lasting impact on the automotive industry? In this gallery, we explore the vehicle's origins and highlight the genius that was Alec Issigonis. Click on to continue reading.

This V10 BMW estate was cheap for a serious reason

DriveTribe buys a rare BMW M5 Touring with a 500HP V10 engine and an unusual history. The car stands out because it combines estate practicality, a naturally aspirated S85 V10, and very limited production numbers. Its cheaper price comes from a previous write off caused by a small fire in the rear battery area, making it both tempting and risky. The video also covers the car’s strengths, including its sound, performance, luxury features, and rare specification, while noting issues like fuel use, SMG gearbox behavior, and future maintenance checks. This episode works because it asks whether a rare dream estate is still worth buying when its history is not perfect.

10 Chevrolet models that built loyalty & 10 that hurt the brand image

Chevrolet has spent more than a century building vehicles for everyone from suburban families and tradespeople to performance enthusiasts, but not every model wearing the bowtie has strengthened that relationship. Some nameplates earned decades of loyalty through dependable service, accessible performance, practical design, or a strong connection with American culture, while others became associated with quality problems, disappointing execution, recalls, or questionable styling. Together, these models reveal 10 Chevrolets that built lasting loyalty and 10 that hurt the brand’s image.

10 Isuzus that earned legendary status & 10 everyone forgot

Isuzu built some genuinely great vehicles, then somehow became the automaker most people only remember from a used-car lot or an old ad campaign. Part of that comes down to timing: Isuzu quietly exited the U.S. passenger market in 2009, leaving a lineup that had drifted into badge-engineered GM leftovers. But buried in that history are cars that won rallies and reshaped Japanese sports-coupe design, right alongside a pile of models nobody talks about anymore. Here's 10 that built the legend, and 10 that quietly slipped away.

It's a $12,000 EV. The American car industry is doomed.

Is the Cupra Born VZ the perfect daily EV?

After three months with the Cupra Born VZ, its strengths and weaknesses become much clearer than they would in a short review. With 326 horsepower, 545 Nm of torque, rear-wheel drive, and a well-tuned chassis, the Born VZ is quick, comfortable, and surprisingly enjoyable through corners. Its 79 kWh battery also delivers a realistic range of around 400 kilometers in colder conditions and close to 500 kilometers in warmer weather, making it a genuinely practical everyday EV. However, awkward brake feel, touch-sensitive controls, limited stability-control freedom, and its considerable weight reveal some compromises. More importantly, despite doing almost everything well, the Born VZ struggles to create the emotional connection enthusiasts often find in a traditional hot hatch.

20 times a car's nickname eclipsed its real name

Automakers spend real money dreaming up official names, yet somehow it's the nicknames that end up on t-shirts, forum handles, and the tips of every gearhead's tongue. A good nickname latches onto whatever people notice first: a silhouette, a sound, a race win, or one wild design flourish that refuses to be ignored. Sometimes the nickname climbed all the way up to become the official name. Other times it stayed pure fan shorthand, but decades later, it's still the only name anyone actually uses. Here are 20 cars whose street names left their brochure names in the dust.
