Ford Motor Co. on Wednesday said it's reassigning about 400 workers to other southeast Michigan plants for reduced production at its Bronco plant in Wayne, Michigan, and is reducing its workforce by 4,000 in Europe by the end of 2027.

Although Bronco SUV sales were up 105% year-over-year in October, deliveries are down 10% overall in 2024. The ...Read more

President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration is looking to slash fuel-efficiency requirements for new cars and light trucks as part of plans to unwind Biden policies he’s blasted as an “EV mandate,” according to people familiar with the matter.

Trump advisers plan to reexamine fuel economy requirements that were finalized in ...Read more

A majority of 2025 model year half-ton trucks no longer even offer a V8 engine. It's almost unimaginable -- but that doesn't make it less true.

The Chevy Silverado is one that offers two.

It is also still available in regular cab (two-door) configuration -- and with an 8-foot bed. Several rivals -- including the Ram 1500, Nissan Titan...Read more

The daunting thing about the car market right now is how expensive non-luxury-brand vehicles have become. On average, they have increased in cost by an astounding $20,000 over the past roughly four years.

But there are, interestingly enough, some luxury-brand vehicles that aren't particularly expensive -- relative to what it costs to buy a ...Read more

It's a little weird that Mercedes is selling subcompact front-wheel-drive sedans with four-cylinder engines. Those attributes used to describe economy cars.

But the Mercedes CLA 250 -- which is FWD and comes standard with a small four-cylinder engine -- does not come with an economy car's price tag.

The Audi A7 is a ...Read more

A lot has changed in the five years since you could last buy a brand-new Fiat 500 -- the cute little minicar from Italy.

When it was last available -- back in 2019 -- it had a base price just over $16,000, came standard with a manual transmission and could take you nearly 300 miles - in city driving -- on about 10 gallons of gasoline. ...Read more

There aren't many new sedans left on the market -- and most of the ones still on the market are front-wheel-drive/all-wheel-drive and hybridized sedans.

The Cadillac CT5 is one of the few that's still RWD as it comes (AWD is available if you want it) and that just has an engine rather than an engine and an electric motor(s) ...Read more

It's interesting that Chevy -- General Motors -- offers two iterations of the Equinox. One of them sells really well.

The other not so much.

You can probably guess which one -- and why.

The Equinox is a compact crossover that seats five in two rows. It's also Chevy's best-selling model after the Silverado 1500 pickup. So ...Read more
