He has written for the Toronto Star and AutoTrader Canada and previously served as editor of Wheelscene.ca. A four-time Canadian Automotive Journalism Award winner, he is the current President of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada, where he oversees the Canadian Car of the Year Awards program. At CarBuzz for the last year, Evan uses his engineering background to analyze vehicle tech and patents, with a focus on the details that defines great cars.
How complicated are modern cars? Even the companies that build them are starting to get worried about all the features. CarBuzz has just found a patent from Ford that would let you simulate using more of those features while the car isn't moving. But it would also demand you simulate them before you can actually use them.

10 Times Rival Brands Borrowed BMW V8s And Hoped Nobody Would Notice
Gerhard started his career in automotive journalism in 2010, after finishing degrees in Communication, English, and Politics, and diplomas in Film and Art Appreciation and Graphic Design. He's currently a senior editor with experience in local and global coverage, and more than 1,000 test cars driven. He started his career at CarBuzz in January 2021. BMW builds engines so good that rival manufacturers have been quietly borrowing them for decades. While the brand's silky inline-six gets most of the glory, it's the V8 lineup that tells an equally compelling story — one that stretches back to the early 1950s, when BMW released its OHV V8 inspired in part by designs like the Oldsmobile Rocket 88. Today, BMW V8s power everything from the M5 to the XM — but the reach of these engines extends well beyond Munich's own showrooms. Several BMW V8s have found their way into cars built by other automakers, from obscure small-scale manufacturers to globally recognized names. Here's a look at the non-BMW models that have run on BMW V8 power over the years.

Nigel first entered the world of automotive journalism in the mid-80s, working for what was then the “bible” of weekly automotive content - Motoring News. Those were the days of tip-tap typewriters, landline telephones and proper news cycles. Social media was yet to become a modern-day plague and people waited for their automotive news until Tuesday mornings. Nigel has remained a gearhead since the early days in London. He's enjoyed a variety of roles in marketing, PR and events with such storied brands as Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini. He has spent much of adult life in the United States, but currently resides in (a much colder) United Kingdom.
