Elon Musk hasn't been doing Tesla any favours in recent weeks, with both shares and sales on the decline'Go woke, go broke’, goes a catchphrase beloved by below-the-line internet commenters when a company adopts a controversially progressive stance.

This new third branch of the Rare Rides series will present two competing vehicles from history head-to-head. Each entry will review the two vehicles’ merits in context of the times: historical reviews, model details, pricing, and that ultimate determination of the winner, sales figures. The first Versus subjects were requested by you, the readers. They are the eighth generation Cadillac Eldorado and the Lincoln Continental Mark III, the very first top-tier American personal luxury coupes.

Hey there, it's podcast time! This week, we speak with Brian Gordon from the Dave Cantin Group about whether the market has hit "peak truck" or not. Are buyers shifting to crossovers and back to sedans -- and if so, why?

Volkswagen has a plan to deal with increased tariff costs, and it includes charging more for the vehicles it imports. The automaker recently told its dealers that it would tack an import fee to vehicles entering the country starting later this month. The automaker said it would determine the fee amounts by the middle of April and told dealers to expect fewer incentives. VW also paused rail shipments from its Mexican facilities into the U.S., but it is still importing vehicles by ship. Models aff

The auto industry has only just begun feeling the effects of President Trump’s new tariffs, but Stellantis is already taking temporary actions to curb any negative impacts. The automaker announced a production pause at its facilities in Windsor, Ontario, and Mexico and said it would lay off 900 people in the United States. Stellantis said the Ontario plant would close for two weeks starting Monday, April 7, but the Toluca, Mexico facility, where 2,600 people work, will close for at least t

Changes to ZEV mandate set to be made next week to help car makers mitigate impact of 25% import dutyThe UK government is poised to relax its mandated electric car sales targets next week, in a bid to help manufacturers contend with the impact of the US's newly imposed car import tariffs.

Toyota made several improvements to the GR Corolla for 2025, including introducing an eight-speed automatic transmission and boosting the car’s torque output, but it’s not done with the hot hatch just yet. We’ve seen spy shots of a rumored GRMN variant, expected to turn all of the car’s performance metrics up to 11, and now, Toyota has released official, albeit camouflaged, shots. We don’t have any specs to go on, but the hatchback appears to sport a revised hood wi

Last month, Nissan announced job cuts as part of its efforts to cut costs and right the ship, but this week’s tariff announcements could be a blessing in disguise for the Japanese automaker. Its most popular model, the Rogue crossover, is built in Tennessee, exempting it from the worst of the tariffs’ impacts, which will likely save hundreds of jobs. Nissan previously said it would cut a shift at the Smyrna, TN assembly facility, but the trade war has pushed American-built vehicles i

What began as a neglected Honda Civic Si sedan quickly turned into an ambitious JDM Type R clone build. The 2008 FA5 had seen better days—rusted underneath, damaged panels and a mismatched FD2 front end. But the guys from Speed Academy saw potential its potential, and their full video shows off the process.
The team stripped it down and sent it off for a full respray in championship white. The engine came out to make room for serious upgrades, including a Kraftwerk supercharger, Exedy Stag

Lotus’s traditional V6 sports car finally meets the Autocar timing gearThe Lotus Emira has had a moderately tumultuous start to life. You could argue this makes it an authentic Lotus from the off, even if that probably wasn’t the intention.Back in 2017, Geely acquired a 51% stake in Lotus (with 49% remaining with Malaysian firm Etika), with grand plans to turn it into a true Porsche rival. After the turnaround that Volvo experienced under Geely ownership, hopes were high. Indeed, as

I've had three recent test vehicles, all from different OEMs, in which the wireless cell-phone charger either didn't work or only worked for a few minutes at a time.Since we keep test cars for only a week at a time, and some of you are out there owning new(ish) cars with wireless chargers, I wanted to ask -- is my recent experience commonplace? Some background here -- I've had regular access to test vehicles since 2009. The first crop of wireless chargers I used didn't work well, at least not wi

You’d never know the 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid was a hybrid from 10 feet away. Subaru says that’s intentional, and it doesn’t want to broadcast the new electric motors, regenerative braking, or battery in the trunk to the world at large.Maybe it should, because a hybrid drivetrain is exactly what the non-Wilderness Forester needed. When I reviewed the new Foresterlast year, I had a few gripes. For one, the SUV wasn’t very zippy, and I thought 178 pound-feet of torque wa

President Trump’s tariff announcement this week has left automakers wondering how to cope. Nissan lowered prices on two of its most popular models, and now, Ford is opening employee pricing to all buyers over the next two months with its new From America, For America campaign. The program opens A Plan pricing through June 2 and covers most Ford and Lincoln models except for Raptor vehicles and some trucks. Discounts will vary between models and trims, but the A Plan pricing model generally

Hyundai is expanding the Ioniq 6 lineup into a family of vehicles. The automaker recently announced a facelift for the uniquely styled car and revealed its plans for additional upcoming variants, including N-Line and full-fat N configurations. The new car retains the basic shape of its predecessor, but it features a new front end and a more aggressive stance. Hyundai narrowed the headlights, and the new front-end shape is almost robotic.
