Depending on whom you ask, Cadillac needs at least one exciting model in its lineup that's different from the models the GM-owned premium marque currently makes.

As technicians, we have to learn every new technology that emerges at a breakneck speed. New fuel delivery system go figure it out. New adaptive safety system learn it. And by the way, lets go ahead and change the propulsion system on the cars now, too. In an effort to go green and cut down on the usage of gasoline engines, the car industry has flipped independent repair shops, and now, an EV technician training program is more important than ever.

A lower cost of living, a slower pace of life, and enhanced mobility is what motivates many people to build or buy a camper van and see where the road takes them.

Dodge built the original Dart between 1960 and 1976. Still, high-end versions of the moniker were only around for a brief while, in the late sixties and early seventies, with nameplates such as the GT, the GT Sport, the Swinger 340, or the Demon. The GTS was the brawny one in the family, although its deceiving stance didn’t make much of an impression on buyers.

Things didn't go exactly as planned for muscle cars in the early '70s, and the GTO was one of the models struggling to remain relevant.

The hybrid electric vehicle, as we know it today, debuted not with thunderous applause, but to a parade of quips and jeers from people who saw their cute fascias and diminutive statures as oddly threatening.
