An aspect of buying a new car that you may not think about is getting preapproved for a loan rather than prequalified. When you get yourself prequalified for a loan, your lender has not done the background requirements you will need to meet to get a loan. It is simply a way to show you if you have the chance to qualify for a loan, how much you could get, and what your payments might look like.Getting preapproved is a different road. When you do this, the lender has done background checks to ensu...

The mid-size SUV segment is ordinarily where you find the boring stuff. But with the new2018 Chevrolet Traverse RS General Motors is breathing a new life into this market, offering a nice blend of style, practicality and performance. The$43,095 MSRP theTraverse RS carries may seem a bit high at first, but not after you’ve known about what it has to offer. Chevy’s design, especially with mid-range cars, has not been something worth writing home about in recent years. That is also the case with the2018 Chevrolet Traverse RS, even though it does feature some nice and sporty elements. There isblack grille, black window trim, black roof rails and black bowtie emblems, along with 20-inch rims ...

Behold the quirkiest, funkiest, most interesting SUV in the market today! The newDS 7 Crossback gears up for launch in the British market where it is priced from£28,050 to £50,000. That’s a pretty wide range, and that’s because there are 10 different trims to choose from. Whichever you go for, though, you get the special charm ofDS 7 Crossback which is due in large part to itsLED VISION lighting system, 3D rear lights, and the rather chunky profile. Granted, this car is nowhere near as wonderfully crazy as the old Citroens we all know and love. But compared to something like the Audi Q5, this thing is still a freakin’ wonderland. The bulk of the effort in making 2018 DS 7 Crossback spec...

The fourth generation of the popularKorean SUVHyundai Santa Fe, which has a huge presence in pretty much every market in the world, will make its debut later this year at the Geneva Motor Show. The car maker has confirmed this, releasing a teaser image that shows the part of the silhouette of the new model. While it is hard to infer anything worth noting from this image, we notice the shape of the head and tail lights have been modified. They seem to be slimmer and smarter than the current version, and brings to our mind at least the design of the latest generation Toyota RAV4. The current model is a bit too round and chubby to be honest and it is a welcome change if the 2019Hyundai Sant...

It was not exactly a secret that an extra-hot version of the 488 was in the works deep inside Ferrari factory in Maranello, especially since Porsche released their GT2 RS last year. Now the first complete picture of this beast has leaked and we get our first look at the new2019 Ferrari 488 GTO. And in case you are in a hurry to know, it has 700 horsepower. Ferrari 488 GTO is the successor to the 360 Challenge Stradale, the 430 Scuderia, and the 458 Speciale. But this one is apparently so good, they went ahead and gave it the venerated GTO badge. The name has not yet been confirmed officially, but a lot people are calling it that. So it is almost certainly the official name. Now, those th...

Kia’s full-size SUV, the Sorento, was a bit of a miss and hit with its first couple of generations. The current model, though, is a quality product in every aspect, and that is why they felt it didn’t need major changes for the new modelyear. The2018 Kia Sorento hits the British market with a new 8-speed auto box and newGT-Line and GT-Line S variants. Priced from £28,995, the2018 Kia Sorento is definitely not the cheapest SUV out there.

TheInfiniti Q Inspiration previews the firm’s new design language ad also their vision for a future model for the saloon segment. The first thing that strikes a viewer upon seeing the Infiniti Q Inspiration Concept as a welcome new feature is the fact that the new form language is a lot less melt-y than before. You probably remember Infiniti’s previous concepts and how every bit of them looked like they’d been exposed to vicious flames and then deep-freezed while melting. It was an odd, but fascinating look t...
