Stellantis Shoots For The Stars in 2025 In 2025, the Stellantis group launched a plethora of new vehicles to rekindle interest in some of its brands. Notable launches include the new-generation Dodge Charger EV and SIXPACK, putting the Hemi V8 back in the Ram 1500, and the all-new Cherokee hybrid. All this and more translated into a positive year of sales for the group. With the year drawing to a close, the Stellantis group took advantage to post strong numbers in the 4th quarter of 2025.

Historical Precedent Toyota's Gazoo Racing (GR) as a brand is now more recognized than ever. With several exciting road cars bearing the GR badge, the brand isn't just the motorsport or racing side of Toyota. In reality, though, Gazoo Racing was actually born out of true passion and even secrecy by Chairman Akio Toyoda. Back in 2007, Akio wanted to finally indulge his passion for motorsport by entering the 24 hours of Nürburgring. The problem was his participation, and his team wasn't officially

Kia has released the first official teasers and video of its new EV2, a baby electric SUV that will sit at the very bottom of the brand’s EV line-up when it makes its world debut tomorrow at the Brussels Motor Show on January 9, 2026. It is aimed squarely at Europe, with design, development and production all centered there, and it will become Kia’s smallest and most affordable dedicated EV beneath the EV3, EV5, EV6 and EV9.

A new analysis has revealed the top-selling cars, trucks, and SUVs in the used market over the course of 2025. With the average transaction price of new cars hitting $50,000 in recent months, many consumers are forced to buy used to get the vehicle they want.  The top three spots on the best-selling used models list feature no surprises, with the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and Ram 1500 dominating. After that, though, we can see some deviation from the best-selling list of new cars. Ch

A Mercedes-AMG G 63 carrying a sales price of just under $600,000 just disappeared somewhere between a New York dealership and a Nevada driveway. While most legal battles in the auto world involve drivers suing carmakers, think of cases like Tesla being sued after a fatal Model X crash or the wave of lawsuits tied to Hyundai and Kia break-ins, this story flips the script. This time, it is Mercedes-Benz going on the offensive, taking transport brokers and carriers to court over a luxury SUV that

GR Everything Except... Toyota Gazoo Racing started out in 2007 as a motorsports project, then became its own division in 2015. Since then, it’s turned into a key part of Toyota’s identity. The GR badge now means something, whether it’s on a true performance car or just a GR Sport trim that adds a bit more edge to a standard model. Toyota now puts GR or GR Sport badges on everything from hot hatches to family crossovers. Even the RAV4 gets a GR Sport plug-in hybrid, making it the most powerful R

With hard lessons learned from the F-150 Lightning, the electric pickup that was recently discontinued, Ford is now focusing on perfecting its upcoming Universal EV platform. This platform will spawn several much more affordable EVs, including an electric truck at around the $30,000 price point. Given the low price, one would think these EVs may miss out on the brand’s best self-driving technologies, but that’s not the case. Ford has confirmed that its first eyes-off driver-assistance system wil

A Sports Sedan That Refuses to Bow Out The Genesis G70 landed on the scene in 2017, and by the time it hit US roads in 2019, it was clear this was the driver’s car in the lineup. Compact, rear-wheel drive, and tuned with real intent, it set itself apart from the brand’s more comfort-oriented sedans. Nearly a decade later, the G70 is starting to show its age. The first big update came in 2020, reaching the US as a 2022 model, but the basics have stayed the same. There were reports that the G70 wi

Although Lucid doubled EV production last year, deliveries were still far below the company’s original projections for 2025. For Lucid to significantly boost sales, it needs more affordable models, which is why the company is planning to release three midsize EVs. While a smaller SUV is a guarantee, it was widely believed that at least one of these new models would be a sedan. However, a new report says otherwise, with the company’s interim CEO expressing no interest in a smaller version of the

Unreal Adventure is back and we’ve got Part 6 below! Don’t worry, if you missed the previous videos we’ve got links to those as well.  In the last episode, drivers and crews learned what Washington’s hardcore trails like to do to fullsize rigs, and in this episode they are crossing the Columbia river on more Washington trails in order to get back to Oregon. We’re super excited to see how the 2025 edition of Unreal Adventure will play out, because the 2024 edition was awesome! I want to build a

It’s one thing to have a driveway cleaner or mowing guy come to the door and ask if they can mow or pressure wash for free. I mean they do the work right there at your place. But what if someone asks you whether they can paint your car? If you live in town, and have any body damage on your car, you might have been approached by someone who says they can fix it for you at home or in the parking lot at Home Depot. I’ve seen it a few times, but for someone to ask you if you are interested in a FREE

A chopped top is one of the most iconic, and extreme modifications you can make to a custom hot rod. Whether you are talking about a 1930’s hot rod, a 1940’s or 1950’s custom, or even a late model custom truck, if you take a few inches out of the top then you’ve made a statement. And while we’ve shared a few chop top how to videos over the years, it’s always fun to mix it up with another one. This time it’s a 1937 Chevrolet that is getting the chop and it is a whole different monster than most o

This is NOT your father’s Oldsmobile, although it looks like it could be. With lots of performance upgrades, it is what a restomod is all about. Plus it has many custom features that look like they could have come in the car, but make it so much better than it was stock. This is the kind of muscle car that would be a riot to drive every day because it not only would put a smile on your face every time you hit the loud pedal, but also because it would be comfortable on nearly any road trip. Chec

Riding the 2000s Retro Wave The late '90s and early '00s saw a wave of retrofuturistic cars that hit the market. Some prime examples include the New Beetle, the Mini, and the PT Cruiser. Of course, Toyota also jumped on that trend when it introduced the FJ Cruiser Concept way back in 2003 during that year's Detroit Auto Show. Reception towards it was positive, to say the least, prompting the company to bring it to life as a production model. Fast forward to February 2005: it was shown in a pre-p

Formula 1 fans around the world are heartbroken alongside the Bianchi family this week. Jules Bianchi's father, Philippe, revealed on Facebook that thieves have stolen the last go-kart his son ever raced. Jules had a monumentous impact on motorsport and was the godfather of Charles LeClerc years before he became an F1 driver. While motorsport has changed dramatically over the past two decades, the foundations of most great drivers still begin in karting. Such was the case with Jules, too. This

(Slowest) King of the 'Ring The Nürburgring, as a race track, has transformed its reputation from being known simply as the Green Hell to being even more relevant in the modern context. Well, that's all thanks to hypercars and supercars – and lately, even Ford and Chevy have joined the fray. This 12.9 Mile race track has become the barometer by which all performance models are judged. Most brands like Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Lamborghini, and the like have obsessed over claiming the crown for th

Geely Signals U.S. Ambitions at CES Chinese automaker Geely used CES 2026 to send its clearest signal yet: it’s preparing to enter the U.S. market. In an interview with Autoline Network, Ash Sutcliffe, Geely Holding Group’s head of global communications, said the company is “actively evaluating” a U.S. launch, with a formal decision expected within 24 to 36 months. For years, the idea of Chinese automakers entering the U.S. was an industry rumor. Geely’s remarks at CES shifted it from speculatio

Momentum Carries Into 2026 The Jeep Grand Cherokee closed out last month on a strong note after posting its best December retail sales performance since 2021. Now, the midsize crossover is opening a new chapter, as Stellantis has confirmed that the refreshed 2026 model year has already begun shipping to dealerships. While the 2026 Grand Cherokee retains a recognizable look, the most significant update lies under the hood. Jeep now offers the model with an all-new 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-fo

The Minivan America Can’t Have (Yet) The Mitsubishi Delica D:5 is forbidden fruit in America and most of the world. On the surface, it’s a straightforward minivan with sliding doors and actual space for people. Underneath, though, it’s built with hardware that puts many soft-road SUVs to shame: four-wheel drive, off-road modes, and even locking differentials. It’s an example showing that you don’t need a bulky crossover to get your family out of the city and onto rougher ground. That approach st

Costco and General Motors are extending a member-only deal on Cadillac EVs into early 2026, giving shoppers a rare chance to stack warehouse-club cash on top of standard incentives. For buyers already looking at a Lyriq or one of Cadillac’s new electric SUVs, the timing is about as friendly as it gets. Cadillac

Before Bugatti has even delivered a single Tourbillon to a customer, the aftermarket has started to circle. Vossen has unveiled a set of forged LC3 wheels for the new V16 hypercar, using high end CGI to show how its designs would look bolted to Molsheim’s next flagship. The result is equal parts fantasy configurator and early shot in the personalization race around a car that will start around four million dollars.

The Bright Headlights Crisis Is Far From Over If you find yourself squinting while driving at night, you’re not alone. The IIHS reports that average headlight brightness has roughly doubled in the last decade. The NHTSA receives more consumer complaints regarding headlight brightness than any other category. There's a real, widespread anger out there; there's even a subreddit with over 44,000 members complaining about this growing and very real crisis.  The numbers support the public's frustrati

The Name Wasn’t Ready The stage was set, and the lights were bright when Tesla debuted the Cybercab at the “We, Robot” event last October 2024. However, the EV maker appears to have failed to do its homework, as it now faces what looks like a squatter situation with the "Cybercab" trademark. According to a report from Electrek, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued a suspension notice on Tesla’s Cybercab trademark filing. The notice states that there was already a pending

Ford’s 2025 sales numbers have just come in, and it was a generally strong year for the Blue Oval. Not only did the company’s total sales rise by 6%, but its market share went up by 0.6% and Ford achieved its highest sales this decade. Overall, Ford sold 2,204,124 vehicles last year, with its market share reaching 13.2%. By comparison, rival Chevrolet sold 1,829,235 vehicles. Ford outperformed the industry for the 10th consecutive month in December, and attributed some of this success to the div
