A very brown 1926 Bentley 3-Liter Super Sports Boattail was on hand for the reveal of the new Continental GT Supersports.

The latest Bentley Continental GT Supersports is the most hardcore yet. RWD, no back seats, and some aero addenda. Just 500 will be built

I'm a big fan of the standard Cadillac Lyriq because it does old school luxury well and doesn't try to be sporty. So I'm, to say the least, curious about what the Lyriq-V has to offer.

I'll be there from 11am to 1pm, with music and bubbles and sign-making supplies. Bring friends and family, and remind our neighbors their Tesla funds fascism!

I’m really excited about the NYC Ferry route optimization plan announced today, which will go into effect next month.

The new network (1st image) will provide direct connections from Queens to the Bronx and Staten Island to Brooklyn, and it will help alleviate crowding on the E. River. Thoughts?

In a recent media Q&A, Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe said the Trump Administration has pushed back EV adoption by five years.

I took a 400+ mile powerhouse out to a different powerhouse: Bonneville Dam!

The 2026 Lucid Air Touring gets new cells (and more range), HVAC upgrades from Gravity, and hands-free highway driving that's smooth enough for motion-sensitive passengers. Best big American electric sedan? Check, mate.
