Hyundai And Kia’s Oil Consumption Issues May Be Caused By Gas Direct Injection: Theory
While Hyundai and Kia have been rolling out impressive new EVs like the Ioniq 5 N and Kia EV9 and redesigning existing models like the Sonata, the automaker still has the lingering problem of bad engines.

It’s for the billionaires and mega-millionaires who can afford to collect Nazi cars and drop seven figures at an RM Sotheby’s auction. Still, sometimes something breaks through and ends up being pretty damn cool. This year, it might be Tom Hartley Jnr and his numbers-matching Ferrari 250 GTO. - Collin Woodard Read More
