Kia wants to build a slew of models on the Hyundai Motor Group's E-GMP dedicated EV platform, and next on the menu are smaller, more affordable, front-wheel-drive-based cars. That includes the Kia EV3 crossover that's getting a ton of hype, but one sedan—expected to go on sale in Korea, Europe and North America—is set to gun for the Tesla Model 3.

AFFALTERBACH, Germany – Rounding out the Mercedes reveals of Monterey Car Week (even if this one was shown in Germany), is another special version of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 race car. Called the Edition 130Y Motorsport, it's a special track car based on the competition vehicle, and it celebrates more than a century (130 years) since Mercedes first entered an automobile race. But because it's not built to compete professionally, Mercedes-AMG could ignore a variety of restrictions to make the fastest version of the car possible, and the last of the naturally-aspirated versions of the car.

On Tuesday, licensed Ohio dispensaries began legally selling non-medical marijuana to consumers; however, the drug’s possession, growth and/or usage are still prohibited on Ohio State’s campus.

Today's V-Series Cadillacs are all about gas performance from V8s to a variety of turbocharged options. But that isn't the future, even for fast Caddys. The future for V-Series is electric, and that's confirmed by the Opulent Velocity concept, which is making its debut during the Monterey Car Week. This big coupe is meant to give an idea of what future electric Vs will look like, but not so much how they'll operate.

Following its first major redesign since the fifth-generation Ram 1500 debuted for 2019, Stellantis elected to drop the celebrated 5.7 HEMI engine from its full-size truck lineup for the 2025 model year. The decision was in line with the company's intent to lower its carbon impact by up to 50% by 2030. In its stead, shoppers are now being offered a 420-hp (or 540-hp), 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six known as the Hurricane. Needless to say, one of the implications of this action is that, now, the only way to score a HEMI-powered Ram 1500 is by purchasing one on the used car market, where the 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 HEMI is a consistently popular choice.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Ever since the Tesla Cybertruck landed in owner's hands, the unique and borderline contentious pickup truck has been subject to a plethora of experiments and tests. Not too long ago, we chronicled the trials of a dual-motor Cybertruck that was taken to a tractor pull, and ended up losing pretty miserably to a diesel-powered 6.7-litre RAM Cummins. However, with the Cybertruck's latest off-road update, the tables appear to have turned quite dramatically in the Cybertruck's favor.

The Toyota Land Cruiser nameplate dates back to the Korean War in the early '50s, when Japan needed to develop a light truck for military use. Back then, it took inspiration from the military-spec Jeeps that friendly forces from the US were using in Japan at the time. It was a tough, hardy, and dependable truck even seventy-odd years ago.

Many car companies in the United States have been scaling back on their diesel engine offerings over the last few years. This includes the ceasing of production of the EcoDiesel engines that had been used in various Jeep and Ram truck models. As electric vehicles become more of a priority, the market for diesel fuel becomes less prominent — and it was already a niche market to begin with. However, diesel is not completely dead in America, and the Duramax engines from General Motors that have remained in production since 2001 are proof of that. Prior to GM introducing Duramax, its V8 diesel engines were instead produced by the Detroit Diesel Corporation for 20 years.
