Nissan's Altima sedan has been around for more than 30 years. It will probably not be around after the end of the 2025 model year -- following its sibling, the Maxima, into oblivion.

There are many reasons why, the chief one being that sedans as a class have fallen out of favor -- in favor of crossovers that offer more interior space and ...Read more

A federal judge Monday ordered United Auto Workers officials to stop withholding documents sought by a watchdog investigating claims of wrongdoing by President Shawn Fain and other senior leaders.

"Sharing platforms" -- car industry jargon for making (and selling) two iterations of basically the same thing -- is generally considered an unflattering thing.

Or at least a duplicative thing.

Why sell basically the same thing twice?

There's an old saying in engineering circles: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That sums up the changes to the Subaru Forester for 2025. It has been updated. But it hasn't been fixed.

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.

Plug-in hybrids like the Kia Sportage are ingenious things. Not so much because they can be driven entirely on battery power until they run low on charge -- just like a vehicle powered entirely by a battery -- but because you don't have to stop when the plug-in hybrid runs low on charge.
