New YouTube Video: 0-60 MPH in All of My Cars: 08’ Aura, ‘18 Compass, ‘04 Bravada, ‘13 Regal Turbo, ‘20 Telluride

A 0-60 time isn’t everything, but it can give you an idea of what a vehicle’s powertrain is capable of. 

I've uploaded a new video to my Adam's Autos YouTube page! This video features me doing a 0-60 run in all of the vehicles I have at my disposal: the 2008 Saturn Aura, 2018 Jeep Compass, 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2013 Buick Regal Turbo, and the new 2020 Kia Telluride. Can you guess which one is the fastest? 

I enjoy driving all of these vehicles when I get the chance. The Regal and Aura are quite sporty, the Compass and Telluride have a "rugged but still smooth" vibe, and the Bravada is butter smooth on the road, comfortable and luxurious while still being capable.

For more of my quick impressions on driving/owning these vehicles, visit my YouTube video and read the description box. While you're there, don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for future content AND to answer the poll question I've placed in the video! Thanks for tuning in AND for the and the 50,000+ website views now! I'm looking forward to more cars and content!

An Assortment of Vehicles That Look Surprisingly Similar

"I've seen that grille and headlight design somewhere before, but I just can't quite put my finger on it..."

Ever see a car on the road and think, “Huh... ya know, that looks like something else...” Largely this could be a coincidence, but some companies do have prior business tie-ups that may influence designs, such as Ford, Aston Martin and Range Rover being under a single roof at one point. Let’s explore a few strikingly similar-looking cars.

1. 2020 Kia Telluride vs. Ford Expedition (front), GMC Yukon Denali (front), Volvo XC90 (side profile & rear) vs. Range Rover lineup (front grille)

2. 2020 Jeep Compass vs. 2020 Range Rover Evoque (front & side profile, especially in two-tone white paint)

3. Ford Fusion, Fiesta, Focus grilles vs. Aston Martin's grille

4. Lincoln Continental vs. Bentley Continental Flying Spur

5. Alfa Romeo Giulia vs. Genesis G70 (side profile and rims)

6. Audi A5, A7 and Kia Stinger (Overall shape/silhouette, liftback, rims - 2020 Audi A7 shown)

Do you know of any very similar looking cars that come from different brands? Let me know if you can think of some!

Stay Prepared, Stay Safe, STAY HOME - Coronavirus

Keeping a full tank of gas in an unknown, fluid situation such as the U.S. is in now is something I recommend.

Hello friends,

It’s been some time since we’ve talked cars. And while I will be making more content, especially while we’re quarantined due to the Covid-19 coronavirus, there’s something pressing I want to quickly address. Staying home and staying safe while staying prepared. Today, the governor of the state of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer, declared that residents are to stay home and only come out for essential needs (food, medicine, to care for someone else, etc.). Auto shows such as the one in Geneva have cancelled. The Big 3 (GM, Ford, FCA) have all temporarily suspended operations at their U.S. plants. This is all to help “flatten the curve” and reduce the spread of the coronavirus. I want to encourage you to do just that - take care of yourself and family and stay home. Practice social distancing and flatten the curve.

However, I’d be remiss to tell you to not prepare also. If you need something essential such as water, go get it, but protect yourself and your family by washing your hands regularly first and foremost, but  also wearing rubber gloves if you have any on tap. Clean your house and car after any trips out. And one thing I do strongly advise - FILL UP YOUR GAS TANK AND KEEP GAS IN IT.

Now I know what you’re thinking - “Adam, that makes no sense. We’re not going anywhere.” That may be true, but in an emergency, you can NEVER be too prepared, friends. Gas is cheap in most places now - I stopped and put gas in my mother’s 2020 Kia Telluride for $1.57 today. When was the last time you could fill up for that? The 90s!? Keeping gas in your tank in a situation where you don’t know what’s coming tomorrow is basic safety in my eyes. You’re ready to go anywhere for anything if need be. So yes, stock up and fill up, too. But maybe leave a pack of toilet paper for the next family, ok?

Roll on guys. And stay prepared, stay safe and STAY HOME.
