It seems Dodge might bring back the Stealth name and slap it on a SUV to replace the Durango.As a child of the '90s and someone who believes that words matter, at least some of the time, when it comes to car names, I don't love this. The name "Stealth" just sounds like a sports-car name.Also, as an aside, why not keep Durango? It sounds very SUV-like and has been around long enough to build up name recognition.Ahem. I suspect if Dodge does do this, other OEMs, especially those based in southeast

Few 20-year-old cars with 200K miles on the odometer could make me take notice. This 2004 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG is one of them. The seller says it has been, until recently, a daily driver and that the paint and interior are "flawless". Apparently it has been stored indoors since being discontinued as a daily.One yellow/red flag is that the car has been in an accident and carries a salvage title, though the seller says all repairs were done "professionally."The car has been repainted a different

In this day and age, it isn’t uncommon for brands to shelve a manual transmission option when the new model year rolls around, especially if the take rate isn’t overly high. Jeep has done just that with the Gladiator for 2025 – while making a close cousin only available with a manual for the same model year.That’s right. Cropping up on the spec sheet for Wrangler in 2025 is the realization that its venerable 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine will be paired exclusively wi

Today I have a 2025 Toyota Camry XLE AWD in my driveway. This one is the top-trim available if you're buying a hybrid Camry. Of course, buying a hybrid Camry is now the ONLY way to get a Camry. That's right, all Camrys come with a hybrid powertrain that pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with three electric motors (two in the front, one in the rear) for 232 system horsepower (when all-wheel drive is selected) and mates to a continously-variable automatic transmission.The styling is redone inside an

Dodge has two electrified pickups on the horizon – one EV and another with a range-extending gas engine. The automaker’s CEOrecently confirmed a rough release date for the fully electric Ram 1500 REV and the range-extended Ramcharger, and the waits for hopeful buyers won’t be too much longer. Ram CEO Christine Feuell said the REV would arrive early next year and noted that the Ramcharger would arrive later with a gas engine under its hood. Ram global head of operations, Bob Bro

Following Ford’s announcement that it would join Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS), General Motors jumped on board. The automaker recently made good on that promise, offering adapters to owners that allow access to Tesla Superchargers, but the older, discontinued Chevy Boltneeds a little more help to charge on the standard. GM technology spokesperson Sanaz Marbley told InsideEVs, “Bolt owners will have access but will require an update at the dealer. Those custome

Everyone bellyaching about wanting a return of the Mitsubishi 3000GT or Dodge Stealth may get what they want, but not how they want it. Recent reports suggest that the Stealth nameplate could return, though it won’t be on a sleek sports coupe.Dodge is reportedly planning to revive the Stealth as an SUV replacement for the Durango in 2027, dashing hopes of a more exciting vehicle.Sam Fiorani from AutoForecast Solutions told Automotive News Canada that Dodge would roll out the Stealth after

The United Automobile Workers(UAW)is presently beefing with Stellantis leadership and has yet to let up.

The UAW is concerned that Stellantis will attempt to move Dodge Durango production out of the United States — which it says would als

While no one was looking, the Toyota Highlander had its 25th birthday, originally showing up in the calendar year 2000 as a 2001 model – causing the sort of mathematics chicanery in which us mere mortals would actually identify the thing as being twenty-three years old, not twenty-five. Anyway.

To some, Buick is a name synonymous with cars for grandparents that had little-to-no personality and left much to the imagination. But to others, Buick is the name of a manufacturer pushing the boundary beyond a singular-segmented past, implementing exciting cues from the Wildcat concept.
