About

Automoblog is an automotive industry, technology, and lifestyle publication that helps readers understand more about cars and driving. We feature new vehicle reviews, emerging tech trends, new vehicle specs, product reviews, in-depth pieces on the automotive industry, and car ownership advice. Since the automobile is such a fundamental part of our daily lives, we believe the best asset our readers can have is information. We strive to bring that information to the forefront so our readers can make the right choice when it comes to their vehicle.

As a grassroots organization with a small team, Automoblog remains one of the industry’s most-respected publications. Take a look around and let us know if we can help.

Who Are We?

Chris Burdick

Founder

I founded Automoblog in 2006 to share my love of cars. My favorites include the Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 VT and Koenigsegg CCX, and I think the Ferrari 360 Spider is still one of the sexiest cars in existence. I love my Pearl Yellow (don't judge) 1990 Nissan 300ZX TT and plan to get it to around 550 HP one day. I'm also an avid world traveler.
