Though it's been little more than a year since Ford ended production of the Fiesta, it still boggles my mind that higher-ups thought it was a good idea. The Fiesta's death was yet another slap in the face for people who still want cars. In 2022, the Mondeo went the way of the dodo, and in 2019, the Ka city car perished. And the sales numbers don't lie—the decision to focus on crossovers isn't paying off.

Ford Sales Are Tanking in Europe. And It's Clear Why

When it comes to electric vehicles (EVs), potential range degradation over time and use has haunted owners for what seems like an eternity. However, as battery technology improves, and so does EV longevity, these fears can slowly be phased out. For instance, the YouTube channel AutoTrader has been documenting a Tesla Model S from 2016 with over 430,000 miles on the clock from to its eight years of service as an airport taxi. Surprisingly, the car has been able to pull this off without requiring a battery or motor replacement of any kind.

Ford’s strategic pivot towards SUVs, trucks, and electric vehicles has significantly transformed its product lineup. Where once a vibrant array of passenger cars held court, now stands a world dominated by high-riding vehicles. A recent digital rendering of a potential 2026 Ford Thunderbird has ignited a nostalgic fervor, offering a tantalizing look into a potential resurgence of the iconic coupe.

If you've been waiting for a good reason to buy a Tesla, recent price cuts are about as good an excuse as any, with the Tesla Model Y now starting at $42,990 for the rear-wheel drive base model before tax credits and options. There are more powerful models in the lineup, and the range as a whole benefits from much cheaper prices for 2024, although there was an increase in April for the Model Y, specifically. The automaker has had various ups and downs with pricing - remember, the entry-level model started at $41,440 in 2021 before hitting a ridiculous peak of $65,990 in 2022.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

For years, Jaguar has sold some of the most beautiful cars you could buy. At least from the outside, that is. Sales haven’t been great lately, as its cars are old and struggle to compete, and back in March, the British automaker announced plans to kill off its entire gas-powered lineup and replace them with electric cars instead. If you thought that meant Jaguar would have an EV ready to replace at least one car in its lineup, though, you’d be wrong. Autocar reports it plans to simply go a year without building any new cars.

Kia has a new K8 sedan on sale — for the Korean market, at least. It didn’t exactly set American buyers’ hearts racing when it was on sale here, but the Kia Cadenza was a solid midsize sedan that offered premium features at a budget-friendly price tag. The brand’s midsize sedan didn’t kick the bucket entirely when the Korean automaker withdrew it from the U.S. market in 2020, but it’s instead lived on as the K8. Now, the Korean market Kia K8 gets a bold mid-cycle update, with dramatic styling and a host of interior tweaks to boot.

The hybrid SUV and crossover market is rapidly becoming a competitive and popular market in the U.S. for a number of reasons. New car buyers are desperately trying to cut their monthly gasoline bills down, even if that means spending more on an efficient car option. The new generation of hybrid technology also makes cars more efficient than ever while still producing impressive performance outputs. Manufacturers from all corners of the globe are so invested in hybridization, that they're now reeling back their full electrification transition strategies.
