‘Tis the season to be overly animalistic in consumer behavior! Mall scrums traditionally happen the day after tryptophan-induced slumbers, with the inhumanity of Black Friday wiping away any lingering human goodwill gleaned from family meals and feeling thankful. How much is human life worth? $25 in savings? $250? $2,500? Probably a little bit more than…
Following GM’s recent recall disaster, it’s nice to know that some car companies can do recalls right (now and then).

The Veloster has always been an odd bird in Hyundai’s flock. This compact, asymmetrical, 3-door hatchback has some mediocre strength compared to other Hyundai models but sits in an odd semi-power-hungry segment competing with the Scion tC or the Kia Forte. Plus, without the SR Turbo upgrade, it’s pretty underwhelming. The Veloster still relatively young, having only been around for…

Ford is very serious about making the Mustang the new namebadge du jour in the land down under; so serious that it opted to terminate production of the much-beloved Falcon in a Highlander-esque head-lopping. The next step in Ford’s quest to increase the visibility of the Mustang in Australia is to feature the prized pony…

Triple Nickel is…
