A week with the new Leaf in frigid weather did not cool our feelings for the car. Years before the Chevrolet Bolt or Tesla Model 3, the Nissan Leaf was a good-faith attempt by a major automaker to bring electric vehicles to the mass market. But even in its…
Some brands are already ahead of the curve, while others leave the US in the cold. A long time ago, in (I believe) an issue of Car Magazine from the mid-1990s, the designer Gordon Murray shared his thoughts about a possible four-door follow-up to the McLaren F1. Road cars…
Forget VW’s expensive retro bus—this is the electric van we’ve been waiting for. Vans are something most of us don’t think about much, since we rarely interact with them directly in our day-to-day lives. But the van is an unseen hero that keeps the world moving, delivering packages all…

Electric vehicle sales increased by 29% in 2025, even as overall sales grew 2.2%. Electric vehicle enthusiasts are probably right to feel a little disheartened about the state of the United States’ transition to EVs. But they should take heart that our region is an outlier. The other side…
The pop-out door handle ban starts in 2027 for new cars, 2029 for existing models. Flush door handles have been quite the automotive design trend of late. Stylists like them because they don’t add visual noise to the side of a car. And aerodynamicists like them because they make…
