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.

Most cars bleed value the moment they leave the dealership lot — but the last-generation Subaru WRX STI has been quietly rewriting that rule. While the broader used-car market has normalized after years of pandemic-era volatility, this discontinued performance sedan continues to hold — and in some cases grow — its value in ways that would embarrass far more exotic machinery. High-mileage examples have shed far less of their original MSRP than you'd expect, and the lowest-mileage units are routinely selling for more than their sticker price ever was.

Geely's UK Invasion Is Beating Honda And Mazda Already

Classic gems, tasteful customs, legendary supercars - for Silvian, they're all fair game. He's been in love with cars and motorcycles for as long as he can remember, so it made perfect sense to eventually turn that passion into a full-time writing career. Around six years and more than 3,000 articles later, he is still going strong and doesn't plan on hitting the brakes anytime soon. You only have to take a quick look at the numbers to understand the sheer scale of Chinese automakers’ expansion in Europe. And one of the clearest recent examples is Geely in the United Kingdom, a market it first entered in October 2025. Sales have since gone to the moon, and the Chinese brand is scaling up its nationwide dealer network at lightning speed.

Police pull over two men riding an electric couch down the street

Electric scooters have carried just about everything at this point, from commuters and tourists to groceries and probably more than a few ill-advised passengers. But two riders in Charlotte, North Carolina, may have just raised the bar after police stopped them cruising down the street on an actual couch apparently powered by a pair of Lime electric scooters. Officers with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department encountered the unusual contraption traveling down South Tryon Street, according to a recent post shared by the department.

The Michigan State Police Recently Took Police Cars To A Track To See Which Was Fastest

We've looked at five features that make police cars different from their civilian counterparts, and concluded they don't really get better engines. Yet as the Michigan State Police found out this fall, those motors can still be impressively effective. Their testing was part of an annual program that dates back to 1975 and over the years has become an industry benchmark. This time around, 13 cars — and five motorcycles — were put through their paces on two separate courses. Chelsea Proving Ground, located in Chelsea, MI., and owned by Stellantis, was used to evaluate the vehicles' top speed, acceleration, and braking. Vehicle dynamics were tested at Grattan Raceway in Belding, MI. Incidentally, the historic Grattan track was for sale when this article was written, with a listing price of a cool $15 million.
