It’s the largest single investment the company has ever made in an engine plant, a…

The search for a new Chief Executive Officer has ended. After months of evaluating both internal and external candidates, Stellantis has named a successor to Carlos Tavares. The former CEO resigned in December 2024, despite his five-year contract being set to expire in early 2026. Antonio Filosa has been unanimously…

You know times are changing when Alpine has not one, but two EVs in its lineup. Following the launch of the A290 hot hatch last year, Renault’s performance arm introduced the A390 this week as the brand's first SUV. Sorry, it's a sport fastback. Currently hidden under a cover, a…

General Motors graced its big body-on-frame SUVs with some mid-cycle updates for 2025. That includes the Escalade, which doesn’t look much different on the outside, but holy potatoes is it different inside. Serving as GM’s flagship SUV, the Escalade is second only to the ultra-expensive (and ultra-exclusive Celestiq) as Cadillac’s…

Renault’s performance arm is doing better than ever. Fueled by its first electric model launch, the A290 hot hatchback, Alpine posted record sales in 2024 for the fourth consecutive year.

Automakers securing trademarks and patents in regions where a vehicle may not exist is nothing new.
