Are you unknowingly wasting your customers’ valuable time? Does the car-buying journey at your dealership feel more like an obstacle course than an enjoyable experience? Most importantly, is your team building meaningful connections with customers who interact with your dealership online and in-store? From the initial showroom greeting to the final service appointment, every touchpoint matters in shaping your dealership’s reputation.

I’m not sure if they torture kids like this still, but the worst four-week period of my 6th grade life was our unit on square dancing in gym class. And wouldn’t you know it? One of the worst experiences of my academic life — and possibly yours as well — can be blamed on Henry Ford. Read more.

Driving at 60 miles per hour, it would take nearly 71 days to cover 100,000 miles. For my family’s 2018 Buick Regal TourX it has taken just a smidge over five years to rack up that kind of mileage. Twenty-thousand miles per year every year for five years. It’s clear we’ve absolutely loved having this Rioja Red beauty… Read more.

Pandemic-induced supply chain shortages are finally working themselves out, so there’s a good chance that 2024 will be a much better year for new car buyers. Still, an abundance of cars on dealer lots isn’t going to magically turn a $60,000 car into a $30,000 car. The good news is, though, you can still find quite a… Read more.

If you read our BRZ tS review , you know I was just in Sicily driving some Subarus. As you’ve no doubt gathered by now, the other car was the Subaru WRX TR. With the demise of the U.S. market STI at the hands of America’s goofy emissions regime the WRX TR assumes the mantle of Subaru’s most performance oriented car.… Read more.

Each year, I’ve taken to asking you fine readers of Jalopnik to peer into your crystal ball and tell me just what you think is going to happen in the automotive world for the upcoming year. From the painfully true (nope, car prices still aren’t normal) to the hilariously incorrect ( Charles Leclerc as Formula 1 World… Read more.

The Ferrari Roma Spider is, by most accounts, a good-looking grand tourer. With more than 600 horsepower and a zero-to-60 time in the low three second range, it’s undeniably quick, and apparently, it’s quite fun to drive. What it is not, however, is a sexy, curvaceous Italian that’s finally gone topless. Talking about… Read more.

7-Eleven is the best convenience store there is. There’s something deeply comforting about walking into that fluorescent-lit, orange, green and red box and picking out some sort of soft drink with your buddies. It’s a very liminal space in a lot of ways. At night, it feels like another world entirely. As it turns out,… Read more.

Today I was watching CarGurus UK’s video review of the BYD Dolphin, an electric hatchback with a base price in the U.K. of around £26,000, the equivalent of about $33,000. Current interior trends are leaning toward minimalism and deletion of physical switchgear, but the BYD Dolphin proves two things – car interiors… Read more.

Tucked next to roads running through school zones in Japan are some hand-painted mascots known as “Tobita-kun, or more formally, “Tobidashi Bōya,” which means “running boy.” These signs are reminders for local drivers to slow down, and according to Atlas Obscura , they helped in Japan’s so-called Traffic War.

The world of the automobile is packed with interesting and compelling stories. So many larger-than-life impresarios, back-woods innovators, and cop-dodging scofflaws of yesterday would make incredible Hollywood heroes (or anti-heroes) and villains today. I know I’d love to see a film about the American south… Read more.

A midsize crossover with a 500+ horsepower turbocharged V6 and all-wheel drive sounds like the stuff performance cars are made of. You’d be right about that with the Maserati Grecale Trofeo. It’s a damn good performer. When that performance comes attached with a six-figure price tag though, you start to question… Read more.
