Ford and Lincoln sales fell sharply despite the return of employee pricing for all buyers. Fully-electric vehicle sales dropped by 43.9%, hybrid sales by 15.7%, and internal combustion sales by 12.3%, resulting in a combined sales drop of 13.6% year-over-year to 190,828 vehicles. The overall sales decline suggests that even generous incentives may not be enough to offset weakening demand in several key segments and growing competitive pressure. Employee Pricing Falls Flat

The 2026 Ram 1500 gives buyers something truck people rarely get anymore: a choice between your head and your heart. Both are great, but their numbers are different. Still, this option of powertrains is exactly what Ram (and Stellantis) needed. Stellantis For 2026, Ram brought back the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V8 after enthusiast backlash over its disappearance, while keeping the

The Hybrid Helps Sales Mazda has a great "problem" on its hands: its older CX-50 crossover just outsold its newer, redesigned CX-5 in the month of May. 14,897 people took home a CX-50 last month, a whopping 107.2% increase compared to the same month in 2025. The Japanese automaker says May 2026 was the best sales month ever for the CX-50 Hybrid, a key reason why this model sold so well. Jared Rosenholtz&am

Range anxiety remains a top concern for Americans making the switch to electric vehicles. However, the all-new 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA 350 4Matic EV is out to prove that some window stickers don't give a car nearly enough credit. In a recent real-world test, the German automaker’s compact electric sedan didn't just meet its official EPA range rating—it absolutely crushed it. Defying the Numbers Officially, the dual-motor 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA 350 EV boasts an EPA-estimated range of 312 miles per

For years, the automotive world has been wondering if GMC would ever revive the Jimmy, giving General Motors something that can go toe-to-toe with the immensely successful Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler. With Nissan bringing back the Xterra and Hyundai planning to produce the Boulder, the body-on-frame SUV is certainly seeing a resurgence in interest, and a recent report claims that GMC is working on making a new Jimmy finally happen. The same outlet that broke the news of a new Jimmy, GM Authori

Tesla has spent years telling the world its Full Self-Driving software is on the verge of making human drivers obsolete. The people training the AI behind it disagree. Reuters interviewed nine former data labelers, a former self-driving engineer, and eleven independent traffic safety researchers, and what emerged was a story that cuts straight through the marketing. Seven of the nine former data labelers said they wouldn't trust FSD to drive them. One put it bluntly, saying he wouldn't ride in a

All-Time Best-Seller The 200 Series may be Volvo's most definitive model, but it's the XC60 that serves as the Swedish automaker's all-time best-selling vehicle. Over 2.7 million XC60s have been sold since 2008, surpassing the iconic 200 Series in 2025. Not only that, the crossover managed to achieve over 2.5 million units sold more quickly than the boxy legend. It's safe to say that the XC60 remains one of Volvo's best business decisions. Without it, the brand would effectively have one hand ti

With half a million dollars, you can walk into a dealership today and drive out with a mid-engine exotic that bends the laws of physics. But what if you wanted something different? Enter the SP40 Restomod Speedster. Built by the Argentine outfit Iconic Auto Sports, this carbon-fiber interpretation of Edsel Ford’s one-off 1934 Model 40 Special Speedster, part of Ford's impressive history, commands a staggering starting price of $500,000. Fully optioned, buyers are looking at $560,000. For America

Last month, we saw a nearly finished prototype of Mercedes-AMG's upcoming Mythos CLE, a low-volume monster that will sit above "regular" AMG coupes. Now, our spies have captured the more attainable CLE 53 and CLE 63, and they too are nearly ready to be revealed as Affalterbach's alternatives to the BMW M440i and M4, respectively. For the first time, these sporty coupes have been spotted with completed, albeit camouflaged, bodywork, including finalized taillight clusters. As expected, these have

Chery Could Be Moving In Nissan is currently in a recovery phase under its Re:Nissan plan, which includes cost-cutting measures and efforts to refine its lineup. Now, the Japanese automaker has announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Chery to explore the contract production of passenger vehicles at its Sunderland plant in the United Kingdom. This follows Nissan’s decision to consolidate its own vehicle production on the plant’s second line, freeing up the first. If the tw

Toyota has a compact unibody pickup truck in development, and the first spy shots prove it’s not just a rumor. Brazilian automotive outlet BlogAuto caught a heavily camouflaged prototype of the Corolla Cross-based pickup on a highway outside São Paulo. Under all the camo, you can make out its Corolla Cross roots, just with a pickup bed where the C-pillar trails off. Toyota Motor North America's CEO has already acknowledged the segment's appeal, though he pointed to the larger RAV4 as the more li

When a vehicle has been in production for three decades, one can generally assume that any issues have been ironed out. But such is the complex nature of vehicle production that even one of the most trusted models around can end up with a defect. That’s the case for the 2026 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans, which have been recalled for a transmission gear selection defect. Still surprisingly popular thanks to proven powertrains, impressive towing capabilities, and ease of maintenance, thes

Endlessly Customizable If America has the Jeep Wrangler, one could say that Japan's take on that is the Suzuki Jimny. Yes, there's the Toyota Land Cruiser, but it has grown so far removed from the original model to a point that the new one is totally unrelated to the original version. The Jimny, on the other hand, still stays very true to its roots by being unapologetically off-road oriented - just like the Wrangler. That makes the Jimny such a great blank canvas for customization. It's almost i

What GM Learned From The Hummer EV The GMC Hummer EV arrived in 2021 as a bold showcase of EV capability, combining massive size with quirky features like CrabWalk. However, rising price sensitivity around EVs and the arrival of more electric pickups, including the TeslaCybertruck, have made it less central to the conversation today. Still, one important lesson General Motors took from the Hummer EV was the possibility of developing vehicles much faster, as the model was completed in just 20 mon

For years, the idea of a four-door Ford Mustang powered by a roaring V8 has been the stuff of rendering artists and forum rumors. Now, the Blue-Oval brass is beating the drum louder than ever. According to a recent trademark filing and grapevine rumors, a Mustang sedan is in the pipeline. While the electric Mustang Mach-E shattered the two-door coupe convention, Ford is currently signaling a return to internal combustion with a four-door variant that could wear the "Mach 4" moniker. The Brutal M

Subaru's Monthly Tally is In Subaru can pat itself on the back this month with a strong sales performance. Last month, the company shifted 57,748 vehicles, a better figure than May 2025's total. That represents an increase of 10.4%, and those numbers aren't to be sniffed at, either. May's tally is also higher than April's total, which is good news for the brand. With that, Subaru needed that increase following months of year-on-year decline. It's not all good news, though, but we'll get to that

Ford has announced another major recall this month, just days after thousands of Bronco Sports and Mavericks were recalled for an issue where suspension components could detach. The latest recall is no less serious but involves fewer models. Essentially, certain Explorer, Ranger, and Bronco vehicles with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine could suffer engine failure, which can lead to a sudden loss of drive power. Here’s everything that owners of these vehicles need to know. Ford EcoBoost Engine Reca

Trouble Found This Camaro Twice While the Chevrolet Camaro is reportedly set to return, with production potentially beginning in 2027, a bizarre incident involving a Camaro ZL1 recently made headlines. According to NBC4 Washington, a 2023 Camaro ZL1 was stolen twice after a Maryland mother gifted it to her son for earning his third degree from the University of Maryland. The first theft happened on Memorial Day, with the mother, Mimi Arnett, saying, “I got that for him as a gift from me and his

The Chrysler Revival Plan Once a proud luxury automaker, Chrysler has been whittled down to just one model, and this has been the case for quite some time already. That said, Stellantis wants to breathe new life into the brand, and we can expect three new models in the coming years. That's all part of the conglomerate's Fastlane 2030 initiative, which sees Chrysler launch sub-$40,000 models to address ever-increasing average car prices. While Chrysler won't be getting a bulk of the budget Stella

Not As Thirsty As Expected Great fuel economy is not usually expected from high-performance sports cars, but the numbers are still useful for things like estimating fuel costs on a trip. For those considering the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray or the new Grand Sport, the upside is that the new 6.7-liter LS6 V8 does not appear to bring a major fuel-efficiency penalty despite the increase in horsepower, at least in Canada. According to GM Authority, Natural Resources Canada, which publishes fuel

Ford teased the new Bronco Filson a few weeks ago and has now fully revealed it. A more premium take on the rugged off-road SUV, the Ford Bronco Filson is a collaboration between the automaker and high-end outdoor brand, Filson. Ford says the SUV is a response to customer demand for a vehicle that matches the very best gear in their kit. Equipped with the Bronco Raptor’s V6, the capable Sasquatch Package, and an array of clever utility features, the Bronco Filson may just be the most desirable m

Theon Design specializes in restomods based on the 964-generation Porsche 911, and its latest, one of only six that will be built this year, is a brilliant blend of old-school restraint and modern enhancement. With a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated air-cooled flat-six developing 421 horsepower and a carbon fiber body contributing to a wet weight of 2,526 lbs (excluding the steel doors, retained for an old-school feel), Theon's latest commission has a power-to-weight ratio better than a contemporar

He Said... What? Lotus' CEO, Feng Qingfeng, was at a press conference in China. With a lot of eyes in the same room, he said something that might've been a little too controversial. According to Car News China, the quote went viral on Chinese social media. Feng stated that any sports car exceeding 3,968 lbs (1,800 kg) is mediocre. So does that mean that nearly all of Lotus' cars in its lineup thus far are "mediocre?" Probably not. The operative term here is "sports car," so we shouldn't count th

Can two struggling automakers make one powerhouse? That's the question China's BYD is asking in relation to Maserati, reports Automotive News, after BYD Executive Vice President Stella Li told reporters that brands like Maserati are "very interesting." Maserati Chief Operating Officer Santo Ficili has reiterated that Maserati is "not for sale," a drum Stellantis has been beating for ages to a skeptical audience. But we can see why such a move would make sense. The new Stellantis comeback plan pr

The Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator just can't catch a break. There's yet another recall on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website, and it's a serious one, affecting the safety of these popular family SUVs. The NHTSA says that the seat belt pretensioners in the front rows of the SUVs "may inadvertently lock the seat belt, which will not allow the belt to retract or extend." As a result, the seat belt may fail to restrain occupants as intended, which increases the risk o

It's not often that Subaru doesn't produce a dependable, reliable product, but the 2026 Forester has a problem. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has revealed that Subaru is recalling the newest version of the compact crossover because a glass panel could detach from the roof, affecting both the regular Forester and the hybrid variant. Should this happen, it could cause a hazard for other road users, potentially resulting in a crash. 69,663 examples are named in the recall, and
