One of the joys of shopping for a new car is knowing that the price you see on the window sticker is just a starting point for negotiation.

It’s exciting to see how far under that MSRP your sharp negotiating skills can get you. Two thousand dollars? Four thousand? More?

Of course, the flexibility of the dealer depends on a lot of factors. Is the car in high demand or has it been sitting on the lot for months? What kind of kickbacks does the manufacturer offer? Is the vehicle a high-priced luxury pickup or an economy car?

Whatever the vehicle, consumers rarely find themselves paying the full MSRP.

That is, of course, unless they’re buying a Tesla.

Should Ford Worry? Camaro Outsells Mustang

It seems there’s always something new to say about the Camaro and Mustang, even though their duel has been going strong since the 1960s.

There have been few breaks in the rivalry over the decades, and now it may be more intense than ever.

The newest Camaro and Mustang are arguably the best these cars have ever been. Both vehicles continue to rocket out of dealer doors as they grow faster, stronger, and more nimble with every passing model year.

The Mustang has outsold the Camaro for nearly two years, but a brand new Camaro and an aging Mustang have swapped positions for the first time in 22 months.

Can the Camaro hold onto the sales crown?

You’re probably aware that Japanese companies often have diverse product lines. Among other things, Sony makes televisions, speakers, and video-game consoles. Yamaha goes further, making everything from pianos to golf carts. While we recognize companies like BMW, Tesla, and Volkswagen specifically for their cars, many automakers carry on side projects, too.

The Best Family Cars of 2016

Sep 20, 2016 by Matt Smith

Imagine driving across the country with a carload of children. Now imagine doing that twice, every year. CarGurus surveyed families to determine which cars best meet their needs, and among other findings, 1 in 3 parents reported driving his or her kids at least four hours per week. Cumulatively, that equals two round trips between Boston and San Diego per year. We’ve all lusted after a Mazda MX-5 Miata or Dodge Challenger at least once in our lives, but if kids are in the picture, the shortcomings of a sports car become readily apparent.

Reporting on news based off of trademark filings can be a little iffy. Companies routinely file for, and renew, trademarks even if they have no intention of ever using them.

Sometimes companies even trademark a name just to keep another company from using it.

With that in mind, we bring you news of a possible new “performance” variant of the Subaru BRZ, potentially called the tS.

The Scion-esque name has been filed by Subaru with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which could be a foreshadow of things to come.
