The Weight of the Matter The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which represents major automakers like General Motors and Toyota, is pushing to replace the gas tax with a single fee based on vehicle weight. While the proposal aims to address declining gas tax revenue used to fund highway repairs, such a measure could disproportionately impact owners of pickup trucks, […]
No Waiting Around Despite starting customer deliveries just last year, Lucid has already updated the Gravity for the 2027 model year, adding more standard features – most notably DreamDrive 2 Premium across the range. The update doesn’t reinvent the all-electric midsize crossover, but it does make it better equipped right out of the box. The […]
A Quiet Standout in a Loud Show The New York International Auto Show is usually about big reveals and even bigger headlines. Automakers bring out their flashiest new models, all fighting for attention. But sometimes, something manages to stand out by doing the opposite. Karma Automotive’s Amaris is one of those cars. It technically isn’t […]
A Familiar Leader Returns The broader electric vehicle market may have slowed, but Tesla appears to be holding its ground at the start of 2026. The automaker delivered 358,023 vehicles in the first quarter, up 6.5 percent from the same period last year. The rebound also helped Tesla reclaim the global EV sales crown from […]

This year’s New York Auto Show is packed with crazy concept cars, stunning wagons, and rare metal, but sometimes it’s the familiar machines that leave the biggest impression. Case in point: a red Porsche 911 GT3 RS fitted with the Manthey Racing Kit. It’s arguably the most extreme road-legal 911 that’s ever been built, and […]
Could be Better For every midsize truck enthusiast, there’s probably a person or two who’ll think it’s too much or not enough. The makers of the outgoing Santa Cruz think that the midsize pickup truck segment is lacking in some key departments. Olabisi Boyle, Hyundai Motor America’s vice president of product planning and mobility solutions, […]
USDM to JDM It’s not surprising that automakers have specific models for each region or market they participate in. There’s no sense selling a product that Japan wants, but the U.S. doesn’t, which leads to USDM like the much-loved Murano SUV.

Not Your Average Camaro The Chevrolet Camaro has gone through several iterations since its introduction in the late 1960s before being discontinued in 2024, but none compare to this MY2010 example listed on Bring a Trailer.
