JD Power recently released its 2023 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), which showed that vehicle reliability has increased with an industry average of 186 problems per 100 (PP100) vehicles, an improvement of 6 PP100 from 2022. For context, a lower PP100 score is better. Even premium marques scored an improvement, lowering their score by 23 PP100. Vehicles from the 2020 model year were the focus of this study. Unsurprisingly, Lexus took the top spot of dependability in the premium brands seg

Toyota and Subaru have just announced that they will unveil a new co-developed model in Japan on 5-April 2021. What could it be? Since Toyota Gazoo Racing is mentioned in the joint statement, we are more inclined to believe that it refers to the Toyota GR 86. Remember that although the Subaru BRZ has made its global debut in the US, the model has yet to be launched in Japan, and the Subaru BRZ’s twin the Toyota 86, which will be re-designated as the Toyota GR 86 in the same vein as GR Yaris, has

We’ve already seen the 2021 Subaru BRZ making its global debut in the US, so it’s only natural to ask when the other half of the Toyobaru coupe twin will be launched. According to Japanese sources, the answer is May 2021. As before, the second generation Toyota 86 will mirror the Subaru BRZ’s mechanicals, built by Subaru to. Like the Subaru BRZ, the ‘flat-four’ engine’s capacity has been increased to 2.4-litre. The body is slightly longer and wider too, and kerb weight has been bumped up by arou

Subaru has unveiled the all-new 2021 Subaru BRZ at the Thermal Club Raceway in California, U.S. It carries on the traditional sports car formula with a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout with low weight and low centre of gravity. The all-new Subaru BRZ is 30 mm longer and 10 mm lower than its predecessor, coming in at 4,264 mm long and 1,310 mm tall. Wheelbase measures at 2,575 mm (+5 mm) long. Kerb weight is yet to be announced but Subaru says it will be under 1,315 kg, which is about 50 kg

A photo depicting the front-end of the the all-new 2020 BMW M4 has leaked ahead of the model's debut in September. Just like the 4 Series it’s based on, the upcoming 2020 BMW M4 gets a massive front grille, which looks similar to the earlier-leaked photo. That being said, the front grille’s design is different from the 4 Series – while the regular 4 Series gets a honeycomb-like pattern in the grille, on the M4, it gets large horizontal slats instead. It remains to be seen which engine the upcomi

The future is all about electric and self-driving cars, and Mercedes-Benz wants to invest heavily in the tech. Mercedes-Benz (or Daimler), require huge finances, and to do that they need to cut cost elsewhere. According to an interview with Autonews, This could mean potential elimination of few models such as Mercedes S-Class Coupe & Cabriolet, G-Class SUV and AMG GT from the line-up, including several existing powertrains, especially the V-12 engine due to the introduction of strict Euro 7 emis
