[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] 2020 wasn’t such a great year for the automotive business. The COVID-19 pandemic kept factories closed for several weeks and canceled most important auto shows.

[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] It’s true that the addition of one or more SUVs/crossovers to their lineups has saved a handful of carmakers. Porsche is the best example here, as it can still make the wonderful 911 due to the likes of Cayenne and Macan. For others, SUVs just boosted sales to new heights. Lamborghini is the…
[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] More than 50 years old as of 2020, the Porsche 911 is one of the most iconic sports cars ever built. But not just for the fact that it has been produced continuously since 1963 with pretty much the same design cues, it’s also because the modern version is as quick as a…
[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] When the new A90 Supra finally hit the shelves, some frowned and some jumped for joy.

[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] 2020 was a slower-than-usual year for the automotive market. Factories had to shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the global lockdown cancelled nearly all major auto shows, causing delays of new car introductions. But most releases eventually went ahead as planned and we saw tens of brand-new vehicles hit dealerships or…
[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] One of the best value utes on the market has gone up in price again. The 2021 Mitsubishi Triton has gone up in price, making it the second price rise for the ute since October 2020. Mitsubishi has increased prices by $500 across the Triton range – with the exception of the dual-cab…
[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] (Editor’s note: During the month of January, the ClassicCars.com Journal plans to present a series of stories related to and perhaps explaining the recent increase in interest in collecting cars produced by Japan-based automakers. That series begins today with this Introduction.) Historians tell us that although Torao Yamaha built a steam-powered bus as…
[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] It’s hard to fathom the fact that the Porsche Cayenne has been around for almost two decades. During this time, Porsche’s first-ever SUV rose in popularity and became the brand’s best-seller, bringing in the required cash to keep the likes of 911 alive and kicking. This video explains very neatly how the Cayenne…
[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] Gotta love it when a private seller offers up an advertisement for a vehicle for sale on ClassicCars.com with delightful personality. Case in point, the Pick of the Day, a 1963 Mercury Comet Custom convertible. The car and presumably the seller are located in Henderson, Nevada, and the seller suggests you meet “Hayjo!” …
