We started hearing about Volkswagen’s takeover of the Scout brand so long ago that you’d be forgiven if you completely forgot what was happening. The wait to see what VW’s up to is almost over, however, as the company recently announced that it would reveal the next-generation electric vehicles at an event on October 24.

Scout sets official reveal date for its two upcoming EVs

Aston Martin's going to reveal its latest return of the Vanquish in a day. After being treated to a sound check of the new engine, we have three more teases to tide us over for the day. Starting at the front, we're expecting a familiar grille of horizontal strakes across a wide intake. However, spy shots reveal a grille that's looks to be a taller and less shapely taller and less shapely version of that on the DB12, spreading out at the edges into a wider bottom instead of cutting inward at the headlights to a narrower leading edge. This could be a move toward a family face, or could be a measure of the V12's voluminous air demands. Moving back from there, a frame in the teaser clip shows triangular intakes behind the front wheels, larger than the trim cuts in the fenders on the DBS and likely able to evacuate more air from the engine bay.

While the Infiniti QX80 led the way for Nissan's new generation of full-size SUVs, the main brand is still getting its own version. Still called Armada, it will continue to be the more pragmatic and off-road-focused model. In fact, this generation more than ever, now that it has a Pro-4X trim like Nissan's other trucks.

You might want to start saving up if you're looking for a plug-in hybrid. These cars, equipped with an internal combustion engine to take over when the battery powering the vehicle runs out of juice, have become an alluring compromise for a new group of more practical green-car shoppers. That's...

Why plug-in hybrid prices are soaring

There are more hypercars on sale in the U.S. than there are new cars under $20,000. Sure, that's still just a handful, but it doesn't take much to make a crowd at more than seven figures; as it was with Greek mythology, so it is with $2M cars, a few Titans go a long way. With that kind of competition, it's not enough for hypercars to make big horsepower, they need to prove their prowess with it. We're too early in the game to call what's happening the beginning of laptime wars, but factions keep firing shots at one another. Swedish outfit Koenigsegg and U.S. outfit Czinger exchanged the latest rounds on the battlegrounds of Laguna Seca. In 2021, Czinger development driver Joel Miller drove a 21C to a new record around the famous 2.2-mile Northern California track with a time of 1:25.44. That broke the previous record of 1:27.62 set by Randy Pobst in a McLaren Senna.

DETROIT — Another death has been linked to dangerous Takata airbag inflators by U.S. regulators, the 28th in the United States. The driver was killed in 2018 in Alabama in a Honda vehicle, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said, but gave no further details. It says the death underscores the need for people to replace recalled airbag inflators.

The 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban debuted in November 2023. You won't be surprised to find that, after hearty updates and a year of inflation and flux, both will cost more than the 2024 models. For what buyers get, though, the MSRP bumps could be a lot worse. Every trim wears a new front fascia featuring thinner daytime running lights. Wheels designs are new and large, the RST and High Country getting the option of 24-inch wheels from the factory for the first time. We're told the updated standard suspension makes the SUVs "feel much nimbler than their full-size dimensions suggest," the RST, Z71, and High Country getting access to the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control shocks.

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
