The Ultimate R34 Skyline GT-R Collection The craze continues as Broad Arrow's Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este Auction will welcome what is possibly the "ultimate" Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R collection. Five cars, all of which are special, in a rare specification, and in elite condition, are expected to fetch more than $3,000,000 (€3,000,000 optimistic), according to the organizer's estimates. All of these vehicles are R34s, the last generation before a short hiatus that birthed the R35 GT-R. While

CX-5 And CX-50 Have Different Buyers The 2026 Mazda CX-5 went on sale earlier this year, introducing fresh styling, a more spacious interior, and a new touchscreen to replace the old rotating knob infotainment system. Mazda's third-generation CX-5 sells alongside the similarly-sized CX-50 crossover, which has been in production since 2022. It may seem counterintuitive to sell two vehicles in the same competitive segment, but Mazda customers and dealerships don't see it that way.

Have Pigs Started Flying? If we were to name cars we least expected from manufacturers, we could list down a few prime examples. There's the Porsche Cayenne that inspired more specialty manufacturers to build SUVs, and the Audi R8, which was the last thing we thought the folks from Ingolstadt would actually produce. And let's not forget the impact of the original Lexus LS, which showcased Toyota's true engineering might at the time.

Coupe SUVs Usually Cost More—Not This Time The usual playbook for coupe SUVs is straightforward: start with a practical SUV, trade some utility for a sleeker roofline, and then ask buyers to pay extra for the style. That’s been the case since the first BMW X6. Infiniti, though, is taking a different approach with the QX65. Order guide data uncovered by CarsDirect shows Infiniti’s coupe SUV actually undercuts the more traditional QX60 when you line up the trims. The 2027 QX60 starts at $51,890 fo

Volkswagen Group is facing increased pressure from its board to further cut costs despite already announcing radical measures, such as axing around 50,000 jobs in Germany by 2030 and reducing production capacity by up to 3 million units per year to 9 million, which would make it very difficult to avoid plant closures or sales. Overall, Europe’s largest automaker aims to reduce costs by 20% by the end of 2028. In an attempt to mitigate the effect of these measures, the automaker appears ready to

Cadillac is marking its debut season in Formula 1 in style with a new, limited edition of its CT5-V Blackwing called the F1 Collector Series. Unveiled on the eve of this Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix, which will be the inaugural home race for the Cadillac Formula 1 Team, the CT5-V Blackwing F1 Collector Series brings more than just unique styling touches. You’re looking at the most powerful Blackwing model Cadillac ever made, and therefore the pinnacle of the V-Series lineup. The Ultimate Track-Focu

Genesis is inching closer to unveiling its most ambitious SUV yet, and a new digital render by KindelAuto offers one of the clearest previews so far. Based on recent spy shots, the interpretation closely mirrors camouflaged prototypes and points to a flagship EV designed to stand out. A More Ambitious Take on the Luxury SUV Although the GV90 carries an upright stance similar to a Cadillac Escalade, its overall shape appears longer and sleeker, giving it a more flowing silhouette. The render ima

Ford Bronco, Ranger Back on the Recall List It hasn’t been long since Ford Motor Company issued a massive recall covering more than 1.7 million SUVs and crossovers over faulty rearview cameras – some of which included the Ford Bronco. Meanwhile, the Ranger was just recalled last month for a faulty wiring issue. Now, both nameplates are back on the recall list, but for a different reason. This isn’t about electronics; it’s a mechanical issue that goes right to the basics of keeping people safe. R

NOAA's Weather Prediction Center has raised Colorado's mountains to a "moderate" heavy snow risk for Wednesday, a rare category for May, as a back to back Pacific storm targets I-70, I-80, US-50, US-395, and Wolf Creek Pass from Monday into Wednesday. Two Act Storm A two act late season storm will hit the western United States starting Monday night, with the second act bringing the harder punch. California's Sierra Nevada gets struck first. NWS forecast offices in Sacramento, Reno, and Hanford

A late-season Sierra Nevada winter storm is taking aim at California today, Friday May 1, 2026, with the Weather Prediction Center flagging significant snow Sunday night through Tuesday as a Pacific low ejects onshore and drives moisture more than 90 percent above seasonal norms into the high country. Peak Driving Danger Window Sunday night through Tuesday morning across I-80, Highway 50, and Highway 395, when snow levels crash from 7,000 feet to as low as 4,500 feet and overnight ice forms on l

Redefining In-Car Voice Interaction Volvo Cars and Polestar are taking a major step forward in in-car AI, introducing Google Gemini across their lineups. The rollout begins in the United States, targeting vehicles equipped with Google built-in, dating back to 2020. This marks a shift away from rigid, command-based voice inputs toward a more natural, conversational interface. Drivers can now speak freely, ask follow-up questions, and rely on contextual understanding rather than memorizing specifi

Once again, Pres. Donald Trump is revising his tariff playbook, this time announcing he will increase tariffs on European auto imports to 25%, up from the 15% figure set in a trade deal the U.S. and EU reached last year. The move comes at a perilous time considering the economic challenges already posed by Trump’s war with Iran. And it could cost European automakers and suppliers hundreds of millions of dollars in additional tariffs each month, based on forecasts previously made by EU officials.

Stellantis had a pretty rough year in 2025, posting a $26.3 billion net loss after writing down billions due to a strategic pivot away from aggressive EV targets, product plan restructuring costs, and slowing consumer demand. But there are encouraging signs for 2026, especially in North America. The company’s first-quarter 2026 financial results are in, and Stellantis’ U.S. unit is by far the main growth driver for the entire group. North America Unit Lifts Stellantis' Global Net Revenues and Pr

So, Who's at Fault? Over the past few years, autonomous driving vehicles have somewhat enjoyed a more lax treatment when it comes to following the rules of the road. In California, for example, there was a loophole that allowed autonomous cars to operate freely and without fault. To resolve that, California has just released new regulations that promise to be stricter for autonomous driving vehicles and their owners. So, who's at fault? The manufacturer, apparently.

The Sales Leader You don't need a rocket scientist to figure out the best-selling model in Porsche's lineup. For over a decade, the Macan has been Stuttgart's moneymaker, and has sat at the top of the company's sales charts since 2015. It has consistently sold over 80,000 units, taking up a good chunk of the company's total sales. Without it, Porsche probably wouldn't even sell 200,000 cars per year. Despite the arrival of the Macan EV, the first-generation model is still serving the brand, even

Not Your Usual Amphibious Experiment Amphibious vehicles have been around for a while, but most of them feel more like engineering projects than practical daily drivers. Not the modern ones, though. We’ve already seen BYD’s Yangwang U8 wade through surprisingly deep water, proving that a fully electric platform can be sealed and protected well enough to survive the elements. Another Chinese marque, Jetour (a brand under Chery Automobile), is now entering this space with the G700 Ark Edition, but

Adding to the ongoing recall crisis of 2026, Volkswagen Group of America has issued a formal safety recall for 7,425 of its popular 2025 Audi Q5 and SQ5 crossovers. When a high-volume seller like the Q5 is involved, even a small defect percentage demands immediate attention, and this particular issue centers on a critical safety component: the front seat belt assemblies. What's Wrong According to the defect report recently filed with the NHTSA (26V266), the seat-belt pretensioners for both the d
