Abandoned History: America's 1970s Convertible Controversy, Who's to Blame?

1 day ago | thetruthaboutcars.com | Corey Lewis

As mentioned above, domestic convertibles and a broader convertible market did return en masse for a time, from 1982 to roughly 2005. New mid-price and economy nameplates arrived like the LeBaron, Sebring, Celica, and Paseo. They were joined by long-time convertibles like the SL and 911, and other new options in the Buick Reatta, Buick Riviera, BMW Z3, Nissan 350Z, Audi Cabriolet, Audi TT, Cadillac XLR, and so on.

4 days ago | thetruthaboutcars.com | Matthew Guy

NEW! by Matthew Guy (IC: employee) The latest addition to Bentley’s tony SUV proves that at least one person at the brand must be fun to hang out with. Called the Bentayga Speed, this monster packs a twin-turbo 4.0L V8 engine (pour one out for the W12) producing 641 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, marking a handful more horses and 37 torques fewer than the mighty W12 engine.
QOTD: What's The Weirdest Show Car?

5 days ago | thetruthaboutcars.com | Tim Healey

NEW! by Tim Healey (IC: employee) Today's UCOTD got me thinking - what would make for the strangest show car? A modified Suzuki Samurai sure seems odd, though I've seen odder things on display at events like World of Wheels. I am not even sure what the weirdest thing I've seen is -- but I know there have been more than a few show vehicles I've seen that we're pretty out there. Now it's your turn. What's the weirdest thing you've seen?
Rumor: General Motors May Vacate Brands in Some Markets, Though Unlikely in the Short Term

5 days ago | thetruthaboutcars.com | Matthew Guy

NEW! by Matthew Guy (IC: employee) As with all reports stemming from ‘unnamed sources’, it would be wise to take this information with large grains of salt. Still, even the specter of this happening is too big not to mention. Longtime readers of TTAC (thanks, all three of you) will remember the GM Death Watch maintained by this site. If the company does exit some of its brands from markets like China and Korea, a case could be made for rebooting the series.

Quick Take: 2025 Acura ADX

5 days ago | thetruthaboutcars.com | Tim Healey

Inside, it's fine -- familiar to anyone who has spent time in the Integra or Honda Civic. That means it's functional, a tad bland, and the infotainment screen is tacked on. It does feel a touch small inside, though not quite cramped. I didn't have a chance to explore the rear seat. Styling-wise, I like the look from in front, but the rear end looks too much like a Honda HR-V for my taste. Acura went a bit too conservative here and missed the chance to stand out.
Auto Industry Warns New Supply Shortage Could Impact Production and Jobs

5 days ago | thetruthaboutcars.com | Matt Posky

That’s not to suggest that supply chain shortages aren’t legitimate or relevant. They absolutely are. But they do appear to be highly publicized during a period where the industry is concerned about diminishing volumes and has arguably painted itself into a corner by building increasingly complex and expensive automobiles that require more difficult-to-source materials than ever before.
Used Car of the Day: 1987 Suzuki Samurai

5 days ago | thetruthaboutcars.com | Tim Healey

NEW! by Tim Healey (IC: employee) Today we bring you a heavily-modded, show-vehicle 1987 Suzuki Samurai. Remember, the guiding principle here for the cars I pick is simple: Is it interesting? Price, quality, and other factors don't really matter, as long as the vehicle is interesting. That's why sometimes we have barn finds, sometimes we have falling-apart project cars, and the prices run from $1,000 to over $100,000.
