We love cars and the car business, no matter where that takes us – United States, Japan, Germany, France, China, Brazil, Australia, India, the U.K, etc. You get the idea. No subscription fees, no sign-up, no sign-in – we get our income from the advertising revenue from the site so that all you have to do is just show up and start reading. We provide both opinion and information. We have writers in Europe, Singapore, and several in the U.S. We focus on the United States (because most of us live here), but we want our readers to have the benefit of seeing a global picture regarding automotive products and industry. We hope you enjoy the site.

Chris Haak, Editor-in-Chief
Chris is the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Autosavant. He writes for the site, sets its overall strategy, and oversees the day-to-day efforts of the writers. Chris has a lifelong love of everything automotive, having grown up around the retail side of the car business. He was perhaps one of the youngest people in history to walk the entire Spring Carlisle swap meet at age four in a hunt for hubcaps, and could identify the make of nearly every car on the road by the same age. He helped his father restore a 1969 Pontiac Firebird after graduating from high school and loves American V8s and 400-plus horsepower cars. Chris is also in the process of indoctrinating his sons into the world of cars and trucks; his oldest son knew the Toyota, Cadillac, Honda and Mitusbishi logos before he knew the first letter of his name.
Kevin Gordon, Technical Director
Kevin is a versatile switch-hitter for Autosavant. While using his background in information technology to keep Autosavant running smoothly under its hood, Kevin also provides thorough coverage of the burgeoning in-car technology field, and has a gift for artfully describing what it’s like to drive a particular car.
Roger Boylan, Writer
Aside from being the only Autosavant writer with a Wikipedia page, Roger Boylan is an American writer who was raised in Ireland, France, and Switzerland and attended the University of Ulster and the University of Edinburgh. His novel “Killoyle” was published in 1997 by Dalkey Archive Press and has been reprinted four times. In 2003, a sequel, “The Great Pint-Pulling Olympiad,” was published by Grove Press, New York.
Roger’s latest novel, “The Adorations,” in which a Swiss professor named Gustave, Adolf Hitler, Hitler’s mistress, the Archangel Michael, and a journalistic sexpot meet at the intersection of history and fantasy, is forthcoming in its original English as well as in German translation.
Kevin Miller, Writer
As Autosavant’s resident Swedophile, Kevin has an acute affinity for Saabs, with a mild case of Volvo-itis as well. Aside from covering most Saab-related news for Autosavant, Kevin also reviews cars and covers industry news. His “Great Drive” series, with maps and directions included, is a reader favorite.
James Wong, Writer
The only writer to be based in the Asian region, James is a prolific journalist who has written for several automotive print publications in Singapore, including HOTstuff Magazine, Import Rides Magazine and REDLINE Singapore. He also contributes regularly to many car forums. Since his nascent writing stint in Autosavant, James now has a growing readership at home and abroad. Starting September 2010, James will be relocating to the United Kingdom, London, bringing him to a whole new environment from which to start a new chapter in automotive journalism.
