Cars have done a lot of evolving over the decades, going from an engine and four (or three) wheels to sophisticated, high-tech devices. Automakers are constantly looking for the next performance or comfort upgrade to give their products a competitive edge in the market. Sometimes companies introduce features that eventually become commonplace, like the speedometer or the climate control system. Other times, the ideas miss the mark. In this list, we take a closer look at five automotive features that have shown up in cars over the course of auto history, but did not catch on. However, these innovations were…

As Canada opens the door to Chinese EVs, let’s break down the details and what it means for auto care professionals Canada has officially reopened its doors to Chinese electric vehicles. Not cautiously. Not quietly. But with the kind of policy whiplash that leaves industry insiders wondering whether anyone is actually steering the wheel. Under a new trade framework tied to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s recent China visit, Canada will allow Chinese-built EVs per year to enter the country at a sharply reduced tariff.

The biggest car news and reviews, no BS Our free daily newsletter sends the stories that really matter directly to you, every weekday. With the latest Supersports, Bentley is loosening its collar a bit. This evolution of the Continental GT has a more raucous character than any previous Bentley production car. To drive that point home (no pun intended), Bentley hired Travis Pastrana for a mini Gymkhana-style video—dubbed “Full Send“—shot at the automaker’s factory in Crewe, England. It might be heavier and fancier than the Subaru rally cars and one-off specials Pastrana is used to, but the new Supersports is…

The English language has a quirky love for collective nouns—think a murder of crows or a fever of stingrays. These terms aren’t just trivia; they often reflect behavior or appearance. They mirror how we see the animal world and enhance education about marine animals. Whether it’s for videos, photos or science posts, using the right term adds precision and color. Plus, it helps people connect with species like squid, which are often overshadowed by more charismatic ocean creatures like dolphins or turtles. We created this article in conjunction with AI technology, then made sure it was fact-checked and edited by…

The transition to electric vehicles has always had one major stumbling block for car enthusiasts: the sound. Or rather, the lack of it. For decades, the soul of a performance car has been tied to the noise it makes—the intake gasp, the exhaust crackle, the mechanical symphony of pistons and valves. Now, as BMW prepares to launch its first-ever fully electric M3, the company is tackling this problem head-on, and their solution is surprisingly old-school. Instead of trying to invent a new “sound of the future” filled with abstract spaceship hums and digital warbles, BMW’s Motorsport division is digging into…

Be honest now. If, like many of the team at CarBuzz.com, you passed your driving test a while ago, chances are you probably haven’t flicked through your State’s Vehicle Code, or for our UK fans, the Highway Code, in quite a while. After weeks of spine-cracking cramming, the big book of driving tips has been left to gather dust in the attic, the basement, or that drawer full of loose batteries, spare keys, and rogue USB cables you keep promising you’ll clear out this weekend.
