Radical New Hyundai Santa Fe is Now a Surprisingly Rugged SUV

The fifth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe has seen a radical transformation, and while it has become a lot more expensive in its latest avatar, it’s arguably a more rounded package. Prices start at AUD$55,500 plus on-road costs in Australia, which means a hefty AUD$9,450 increase over its predecessor. That’s largely due to its hybrid-only powertrain line-up. […]

The 2001 Audi B5 RS4 Avant Is Sensible Yet Cartoonish Lunacy

To other people—to those in the know—the silly yel...

Super Stock Style For A Street-Driven ’64 Dodge 330

Mark Bonnett’s 1964 Dodge 330 is a performer that defies most of the categories and genres used today, and that’s exactly what drew us to the period-inspired Mopar. It’s certainly not a pro-touring car and the term resto-mod suggests at least some modern updates such as disc brakes or an overdrive transmission. It’s got none of that.… The post Super Stock Style For A Street-Driven ’64 Dodge 330 appeared first on The Online Automotive Marketplace.

Dave Ramsey Says Millionaires Drive These 10 Cars: Are They Worth the Price?

First things first: Who is Dave Ramsey, anyway? He’s just America’s favorite financial guru, New York Times bestselling author, TV Show host, and nationally syndicated radio personality. The man has nearly one million followers on X (formerly Twitter), so when he talks, people listen. Last month, Mr. Ramsey made an X post that particularly reverberated in the automotive world. The post implied that contrary to common perception, millionaires don’t drive flashy cars. Without going into details about where he got his data, Ramsey made a list of the top ten car brands driven by millionaires, and there was not a Rolls-Royce, Bentley, or Lamborghini represented. If you live in upper-middle-class neighborhoods where parking lots are dotted with Teslas and Maseratis, you might find Ramsey’s claims a bit too hard to swallow. That’s a debate for another time. Today, we focus on determining if the cars on Ramsey’s list are worth their prices.

FIRST LOOK: New Rolls-Royce Cullinan – Upgrading The World’s Most Luxurious SUV

The Cullinan, Rolls-Royce’s controversial super-luxury SUV (at least to those who can’t afford one) is now its most popular model, and has been given a mid-life tickle-up. The changes for the Cullinan Series II are driven by the evolving Rolls customer, who is just 43 in 2024. And that younger customer wants, says Rolls, ‘bolder forms of self-expression’. On the outside that means new vertical daytime running lights, an illuminated ‘Pantheon’ grille and 23in wheels. Inside, the luxe is dialled up even more, with the likes of a bamboo-based ‘Duality Twill’ interior that has up to 2.2 MILLION stitches and 11 MILES of thread, while ‘Placed Perforation’ seats create imagery through the position of over 100,000 tiny holes. There’s also a Cullinan Black Badge model from the get-go, again determined by that younger customer: when the Cullinan was launched in 2018, over 30% were chauffeur driven; today, it’s less than 10%. There’s more power than standard, an uprated chassis, and no shiny chrome. Do the tweaks keep it a rung above the Bentley Bentayga and Range Rover?

Stung, but still determined to get his 427 experience, he special-ordered a less-expensive base-model 1967 Ford Custom two-door sedan and had the Mahwah, New Jersey factory drop in the W-code 427-4V engine, which automatically triggered a four-speed...
