Biography
What began as a passion for test driving cars at dealerships in his youth evolved into Roger writing about these cars for online forums. This rapidly evolved into the formation of Roger's own website covering all things automotive. After several years running this site, Roger joined CarBuzz as a junior writer, covering a plethora of topics before leading his own team of writers and climbing the ranks to Managing Editor. Roger still loves getting his hands dirty writing about anything and everything car related, finding as much enjoyment in the mundane keyboard work as he does in driving new exotic cars. While his primary areas of expertise are in the new car scene, Roger's ownership of two classic Mazda Miatas (yes, they're classics now) gives him a broader frame of reference. Technically minded, Roger thrives on understanding more than just surface-level information, craving a deeper understanding of the reasoning behind why something is happening and how something works the way it does. Outside of motoring, Roger is also involved in equestrian sports commentary and has covered news in this area.

By Roger Biermann Verified| CarBuzz@ Tariffs are nothing new to the automotive landscape, especially in America, where things like the Chicken Tax have greatly influenced our automotive landscape to drive the local manufacturing of trucks and vans. In a similar vein, incentives, like the EV incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), have had a significant impact on US production, driving investment announcements as automakers tried to cement their footing in the world's second-largest automotive economy.
By Roger Biermann Verified| CarBuzz@ There's been a lot of hate for the forthcoming 2026 Honda Prelude, which will be fully revealed later this year. Some of it has been justified, but there's one area that perhaps we and the rest of the internet have been overly critical of: the e-CVT transmission Honda's giving it. I'll admit, we at CarBuzz have been referring to the transmission in the same way Honda does, calling it an e-CVT, but, here's the thing, it's not actually a CVT at all.
By Johnathon Gustin Verified, Roger Biermann Verified| CarBuzz@ Tesla has quietly removed an optional battery pack designed to boost the Cybertruck's range from its online configurator, raising questions about the accessory's future. The $16,000 add-on aimed to address criticism that the electric pickup's real-world driving distance fell short of initial promises. Its sudden disappearance leaves potential buyers wondering if the delayed accessory will ever be available.
