Drivers To New Car Tech: Leave Me The Hell Alone, Please

It's great when tech just works, am I right? Especially in-car tech—nobody wants to be fiddling with a million menus to turn on the wipers or dealing with a driver assist system that slams on the brakes for no good reason (looking at you, Tesla Autopilot). Sometimes I feel like…

Kia Is 'Seriously Studying' a Pickup Truck for America

Kia introduced its first pickup truck, the Tasman, last year. Unfortunately, it's only for markets like Europe and Australia, which means it won't make its way to the US. But that's not to say Kia isn't exploring the idea of a pickup for America.

Why Toyota Was Disappointed by the Honda-Nissan Merger Talks

Having joined Toyota in 1984, Akio Toyoda likely knows the ins and outs of the automotive industry better than anyone. As CEO for over a decade before stepping down in 2023 to become chairman of the board, he played a crucial role in Toyota’s rise to global dominance. In 2024,…

Nissan Isn't Giving Up on Infiniti

Infiniti sales in the United States peaked in 2017 when Nissan’s luxury brand delivered 153,415 cars. Fast-forward to 2024, demand plummeted to 58,070 units, or 10.2 percent less than the year before. To put that number into perspective, Honda’s Acura brand moved 122,600 vehicles last year. Toyota’s Lexus outsold the…

Nissan’s New Boss Drives His Z to Work Every Day

Ivan Espinosa has been with Nissan since 2003, working his way up to Chief Planning Officer before being recently appointed CEO. His predecessor, Makoto Uchida, described him as a “real car guy,” which makes sense, given that the new head honcho drives a Z daily. He was actually involved in…

We Just Had The 'Most Disastrous Day In EPA History'

The EPA has just dropped the mother of all deregulations. In minutes (two, to be specific), Trump's hand-picked administrator of the department announced sweeping changes that critics are calling "the most disastrous day in EPA history." Gone is the original mission of the EPA—that is, protecting the health of the…

Elon Musk Finally Gets His White House EV Summit

The world's richest man is known for his long list of grievances. Regulations, "woke" culture, AI that isn't his own, people who don't advertise on his social media platform X and Marco Rubio are just some of the things he spends his days stewing about. But one thing really sticks in Elon…

Nissan Could Nab Foxconn Exec For Its New CEO

Nissan's falling out with Honda was just as unexpected as talks of its potential merger. Yet, somehow, it felt inevitable—neither brand seemed interested in a true 50/50 partnership. Soon, rumors arose that the deal was to avoid a hostile takeover from Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn. Ironically, Nissan may now tap a…

Tariffs Could Force Mercedes to Build C- or E-Class in the US

US President Donald Trump is ready to impose a 25-percent tariff on all imported cars, and automakers are preparing for the worst. The tax poses a difficult challenge for foreign car companies that want access to the American market while remaining competitive on price. For Mercedes-Benz, that means it could…

Stellantis Won't Bring Its European Brands to America

There have been a lot of changes at Stellantis in the last few months. The CEO is gone, and the American brands have more freedom in deciding their destiny. That's a lot to handle, but one thing Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler likely won't have to worry about is any…

Next-Gen Ford F-150 Delayed: Report

To say the F-Series is vital to Ford's business would be an understatement. America's best-selling truck for 48 consecutive years had a solid 2024 when shipments grew by 2% to 765,649 units. The Blue Oval doesn't say how many of those were F-150s, but it must've done the heavy lifting…

Aston Martin Admits Some Customers Hate Electric Cars

In the early 2010s, there were reports about Aston Martin giving the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet the electric treatment. That never happened. In 2019, the production-ready Rapide E broke cover, but that one, too, failed to see the light of day. Plans for a Lagonda sub-brand that was supposed to sell…

Trump Causing 'A Lot Of Cost And A Lot Of Chaos' In Auto Market: Ford CEO

Donald Trump wants to be a business-friendly president. The main problem so far, however, is that his policies don't match that pitch. He sent the stock market into a tail-slide when he announced 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, only to delay them right before they took effect. Ford CEO…

BMW Will Keep the V-8 Engine Because Americans Love It

The downsizing era is in full swing. BMW stopped selling a V-12 7 Series in 2022 when the M760i was retired. You can still have twelve cylinders in a Rolls-Royce, but the V-12 is never coming back in a car featuring the famous roundel. The V-10 has been dead for…
