    15 Auto Service Brands That Are Owned By Mavis Tire - SlashGear (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Many people don't realize that the tire market is highly concentrated. For example, in our article on the real owners behind America's major tire brands, we revealed that many of the most notable names, like Michelin and Goodyear, actually have dozens of subsidiaries. The auto service industry is also more concentrated than you'd perhaps ever realize. For example, a major player in the space that the public doesn't pay much heed to is Mavis Tire — a somewhat recognizable name headquartered in Wh

    6 Downsides Of Driving A Compact Car - SlashGear (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The consensus in the industry is that a compact car is the auto version of eating your vegetables — it might be good for you, but absolutely no one actually wants one. And, on paper, the compact car definitely makes a lot of sense; these vehicles are cheap to run, easy to park, and kinder to the planet, since the car sips fuel where bigger vehicles (like trucks) gulp. That's to say nothing of the other day-to-day problems with compact cars, like not being as comfortable on dirt tracks, not being

    3 SUVs That Made A Splash In 2026 (So Far) - SlashGear (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    As automotive journalists, we have tended to settle into an irritating pattern, especially in the past few years. We'd personally put the mark around the mid-2010s, when many vehicles were facelifted, including — from memory — the Toyota Land Cruiser, Subaru Impreza, Toyota Camry, Ford F-150, and a few others.

    5 Cars That Prove 1969 Was The Best Year For Dodge - SlashGear (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Many automakers have had so-called golden years — time periods when everything neatly slots into place, from marketing, to consumer sentiment, to sales figures, to design, to performance, and everything in between. It is a rare moment when the designers, accountants, and engineers all come together and head in the same direction to make a vision happen. For Dodge, that moment was the year 1969, and the evidence that we have surrounding it is quite astounding. To begin with, let's take a look at

    5 Things Every New Motorcycle Rider Should Buy - SlashGear (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If you just bought your first motorcycle as a beginner rider, know that your purchase journey has just begun. The usual advice is quite, quite generic, and you've probably read it before — whether you were meaning to or not. Buy a helmet with Bluetooth, don't skimp on the jacket, bike insurance is more expensive than you think, the list goes on. While all that is true, the things that actually matter are almost never the things that the internet tells you to worry about. The kind of stuff that s
