Five months ago, I wrote about my behind-the-scenes experience attending Need 2 Drive Utah's Summer Splash event. Although I'm not a supercar owner myself, the Utah supercar group's captain and organizer, Ismael Utrilla, has been gracious enough to include me in the happenings of his supercar collective. I'm not the only one who's been interested in tagging along, either — the group's membership has doubled in the past year. Growing from about 100 cars to 200, this past year has been the best yet for Utah's supercar scene. Need more evidence that the supercar scene is growing in Utah? Just check out all the listings on KSL Cars.

Attending Wings and Wheels: Utah's Festival of Speed for our first time, my dad and I went down to Spanish Fork and spent the day enjoying performances by fast cars and airplanes alike. My dad, a retired air traffic controller, was the perfect companion to take. I enjoyed the company of a man who has loved airplanes his entire life — a walking encyclopedia on the subject of aviation — as we wandered around the hangars. I learned a lot and appreciated the variety of airplanes on display much more than I could have on my own.

While we were not planning to stay the whole day, we are glad we did. The organizers — Spanish Fork City, Envision and Richard Seal (a wealth management consultant from Utah County) did an excellent job putting on an event that appealed to a wide audience.

"We worked hard to bring people of all interests together to enjoy some insane cars, amazing airplanes and cool stuff they won't see anywhere else. Bugattis racing airplanes with explosions going on. Exotics going over 200 mph and 1,800-horsepower drag racing. It was awesome," said Trevor Hoyt of Envision.

With chip shortages, supply chain disruptions and an uptick in new and used car prices, it's certainly a unique time in the auto industry. You'd be forgiven for interpreting "unique" as "bad," but despite these current challenges, we are on the cusp of some impactful changes to the automotive world. The new cars coming in 2022 reflect this excitement.

The forthcoming automotive landscape is an embarrassment of riches for consumers. Cars have never been as packed with technology, performance and features as they will be in 2022 and beyond. With that in mind, here's our look at all the new and significantly revised SUVs you should know about in the year ahead.

Of the last several years, few SUVs have garnered the kind of recognition and awards that the Kia Telluride has. In a three-peat win, Kelley Blue Book has again just named the Kia Telluride as its best buy for a three-row SUV, in addition to accolades from Car and Driver, Motor Trend, North American Car of the Year, and others.

And buyers have caught on. As of November 2021, Kia had sold over 86,000 units — far outpacing the demand. If there is a hot car on the market right now, the Kia Telluride is it — and we wanted one.

There are several reasons you may decide to gift a car to a family member or loved one. It could be a Christmas surprise, complete with a big red bow. Perhaps your child is receiving their driver's license. Maybe you're a grandparent who can no longer drive. Or maybe a good friend is struggling financially and you want to help them out.

Regardless of why you are gifting a car, there are a few things you need to know before you put a bow on it and put your loved one behind the wheel. Read everything you need to know about gifting a car for Christmas, then find that perfect gift on KSL Cars.

When it comes to buying gifts for the car enthusiast in your life, it can be a pain to find something they'll love and that you can afford. Custom wheels are awesome, as are supercharger kits and exhaust systems, but they are probably a little outside the holiday budget. Luckily, KSL Cars has compiled a list of 12 great gifts for the car enthusiast that won't break the budget (too much).

For most of us, the thought of owning a Lamborghini is nothing more than a childhood dream, set in motion by so many book fair posters plastered carefully on bedroom walls. But the notion that those same cars could ever sit in our driveway often seems too far off as we get older.

For Tom Buckley, however, that dream has become reality. And he doesn't just own Lamborghinis—he owns Utah's first Lamborghini franchise.

Six decades ago U.K. automotive manufacturer Jaguar released the Jaguar E-Type. Since then, this iconic car has come to be regarded as one of the most beautiful and timeless designs in automotive history. With smooth, expertly sculpted lines, head-turning looks and the most advanced performance of its day, the E-Type has endured as a favorite for Jaguar enthusiasts and car lovers everywhere.

It seems like Genesis is getting a lot of buzz these days. Having been awarded the Motor Trend SUV of the Year and preserving the life of Tiger Woods in a rollover incident, the GV70 certainly deserves its moment in the spotlight.

About a month ago I did something that broke my heart: I said goodbye to a car I loved -- my Subaru BRZ.

SALT LAKE CITY — Ever since seeing the 1985 film "Back to the Future" when I was young, I've had a deep love for cars. Watching that stainless steel, gull-winged '80s icon blast Marty McFly back in time was thrilling for my 5-year-old self. It still is. I loved the design, the speed, the sound, the way the manual transmission shifted, all of it.

When Paul and Todd asked me to attend the 2021 ZCON in Colorado Springs two weeks ago, I was thrilled. As a fan of the early 240Z cars, and an even bigger fan of the early 90s 300ZX, the opportunity to be one of the first to see the new Z up close was one I was happy to take off work for.

When asked what cars mean to him, Ismael responded, "Cars represent to me the pursuit of excellence, the pursuit of high-end engineering, high performance — creating the pinnacle of driving."

SALT LAKE CITY — When Nick "The Burlacher" hired James "The Stradman" to join his team at a local accounting firm, neither one of them could have predicted where their passion for cars would take them.

"I would have never dreamed I would be driving million-dollar cars like Pagani's, but that's now a reality," Nick told me in a recent interview for KSL Cars.

PHOENIX, AZ — Upon entering Tyson Hugie's garage, you are hit with a wave of nostalgia in ways that only the '90s could do. Memories of mood rings, jelly sandals, Power Rangers, Bill Clinton and Princess Diana flood your mind and take you back to a time far removed from social media, smartphones and Zoom meetings.

With all the anxiety surrounding 2020, the recently announced return of the beloved Ford Bronco is here to rescue you from the doldrums of pandemic life and remind you that great things are still happening in the world.

The new Bronco has taken the internet by storm, garnering the attention of off-road enthusiasts and the general public alike. The Bronco (like this one and this one) is held in nostalgic adoration and some consider it one of Ford’s most iconic models.

In the entryway of Cory Chapman’s home is a plaque that reads, “We create our tomorrows by what we dream today.” Coming from humble circumstances in his younger years, Cory learned early on the power of dreaming big and working hard. Determined to break the family mold, Cory became a self-made entrepreneur. He now owns a booming landscaping business, Rockscapes Utah.
