Modern vs. Vintage Car Headlights: Key Design Differences Explained
Maybe you’ve wondered why most classic cars have such plain-looking headlights. That’s because, up until the 1980s, headlights basically came in two shapes: round or square. You could “choose anything,” as long as it was one of those two. Sure, there were a few oddball designs here and there, but I’d bet 95% of headlights worldwide were either round or square. It wasn’t something that could easily be changed—mainly because the tech just wasn’t there yet.

How Fast Can Slate Auto Produce EVs Amid Manufacturing Challenges?
I think that’s a question a lot of people are asking. Most of us have heard about this new EV company called Slate Auto, which wants to bring cheap electric cars to the masses.

Why Cadillac Struggles to Match Mercedes and BMW in U.S. Prestige
This question came up when I saw Cadillac trying to make a comeback with the Celestiq and some other pricey EVs. I mean, for decades now, it has felt like most people don’t really get Cadillac anymore—even in the U.S. A lot of folks prefer European cars over Cadillacs, and that’s one of the reasons the brand’s been slowly fading. In 2024, Cadillac probably sell around 100K cars, while Mercedes can hit 300K a year in the U.S. That’s kind of weird, especially since Cadillac is supposed to be a classic American brand.

This thought hit me when I saw some people talking about the Supra Mk5. It seems like Toyota never really planned to keep the Supra going in the first place. Back then, it was just a regular sports car—kind of like a Corvette or any other performance car on the market. When the Mk4 was discontinued, Toyota probably didn’t see a good reason to keep making it.
