Ford: EV Goals Were 'Too Ambitious' In Europe
Over the last few years, Ford made an aggressive push to get more EVs on the road—as did many automakers. But as we've seen elsewhere, companies are starting to roll back EV plans as customer demand wanes. Ford is the latest to admit it might have been too aggressive in its EV push.
Mercedes Wants to Charge Your Car While You Charge up on Coffee
Mercedes-Benz has a different kind of Cars and Coffee scenario in mind. Instead of rolling into a weekend car show with an AMG GT, how about daily stops at the local Starbucks in an EQE? While you're enjoying a Tripleshot Espresso, plug into a 400-kilowatt fast charger in the parking lot. That way, you and your car can get juiced up at the same time.
This Duramax Diesel Engine Shouldn't Have Melted Pistons
For the record, this isn't the worst damage we've seen from an I Do Cars engine teardown video. It's not even the worst 3.0-liter Duramax we've seen, lest we forget the destroyed diesel that literally had valve shapes stamped into the pistons. But we've never seen a hole in the cylinder caused purely by heat. How hot does it have to get to actually burn through a cylinder bore?
The Next Honda Passport Will Be Its Most 'Capable SUV Yet'
The current Honda Passport debuted for the 2019 model year and was lightly updated for 2022—so it needs an overhaul. For 2026, Honda's mid-size SUV will get a new look and an even more rugged TrailSport trim going into its fourth generation. This first teaser image gives us an...
Tesla Is losing ground in the US and Europe: Here's Why
It doesn't seem to be a good year for Tesla. After the record results of 2023—when it was the most popular EV manufacturer with the best-selling vehicle in the world—2024 isn't nearly as robust. The latest data collected by JATO Dynamics for the first half of this year shows Tesla losing ground in both the United States and Europe, where sales fell by 8 percent and 13 percent respectively.
Czinger Wants to Break More Track Records
Czinger is a small supercar manufacturer out of California. You might have heard of the company's insane 21C, which recently broke a production road car record at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Now Czinger is gunning for even more prestigious lap records. In an interview with CarBuzz at the Festival...
Sad: The Infiniti QX60 Lost Its Most Powerful Engine
Auto manufacturers seldom make significant powertrain changes outside a model refresh or redesign, but Infiniti decided not to wait. The current-generation QX60 launched for the 2022 model year, and for 2025, it soldiers on with the same styling both outside and in. Under the hood, however, is a different story.
Watch the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Conquer the Nurburgring
The new Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is a beast. With 771 horsepower from its hybrid powertrain, it's the most powerful Panamera you can buy. Porsche already sent it around the Nurburgring, lapping the Nordschleife loop in 7 minutes, 24.17 seconds. Now, we have a first-person perspective of the entire...
The New Hyundai Santa Fe Didn't Have to Go This Hard
Stanley Kubrick falls to his knees at the pearly gates as a gleaming monolith rises from a desert of soulless crossovers. It’s called the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. Finally, an SUV that doesn't look like every other SUV. The masses hoot and holler. Honestly, it's ridiculous we had to...
Ford's Next Super Duty Truck Is Going Hybrid
Ford will expand production of its Super Duty pickup truck line by adding a third assembly plant to the roster. In a press release, the company announced its Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada, will begin truck production in 2026. The move will add 100,000 units to Ford's annual Super Duty supply. But it will also see the introduction of electrification into the heavy-duty lineup.
The BMW X3M Might Be Dead
There's a new BMW X3 for 2025. It looks sharp, has a high-tech interior, and goes on sale later this year with two updated engine options. But one thing that won't be available on the new X3 is a hot M model, as we've seen in previous generations. According to...
BMW Neue Klasse Coupe: Everything We Know
BMW is heading toward a design revolution with its future EVs. We got a preview of that last year with the clean and angular BMW Vision Neue Klasse sedan. Earlier this year, the Vision Neue Klasse X SUV joined the party. Now, spy photos of a new coupe have surfaced—but this is something different. This doesn't look like a concept car.
Audi Quietly Updated Its Rear Badges. But There's a Problem
As someone with a mild obsession with car badges, I noticed something a bit weird on the new Audi A5. No, not the fact that it replaces the A4 altogether. On the regular A5, there's a red graphic on the tailgate. Looks familiar? That's Audi Sport's signature rhomb in the "Progressive Red" brand color. It used to be exclusive to S, RS, and R models, but not anymore.
Audi Sells a Car With 19-Inch Steel Wheels
Audi may be a luxury brand, but that doesn't always mean you get the nicest stuff—even on the base model. Take the Q4 E-Tron for example, an electric SUV that serves as a fancier alternative to the Volkswagen ID.4. However, the base version sold in Germany isn't all that posh since it comes with steel wheels. It's a large 19-inch set bundled with glorious hubcaps. Ironically, the ID.4 has alloys in its domestic market.
Bad News: The V-8 Mustang Just Got More Expensive
The Ford Mustang doesn't change for 2025, but there are some updates to the equipment and pricing. The bad news? If you want a V-8 you're going to pay more—a lot more if you want the Dark Horse. On the flip side, EcoBoost buyers have more equipment without any price changes. And while GT buyers are paying more, they're also getting a little bit more.
IIHS: Every Car Should Have Rear Automatic Emergency Braking
Technology is making cars safer and more aware. Today’s vehicles can detect other vehicles, objects, and people outside the driver’s view and intervene if they predict an imminent collision. Some of these features come standard on many models, while others—like rear automatic emergency braking—are usually optional. That’s “too bad,” according to Insurance Institute for Highway Safety President David Harkey, because its research shows that technology that intervenes for the driver is “more effective in preventing crashes than other types of solutions.”
Roush's New Supercharger Makes Your Mustang as Powerful as a GTD
Roush Performance has been upgrading Mustangs and selling parts for the pony car for nearly three decades. The seventh-generation Mustang arrived for the 2024 model year, and the aftermarket specialist is ready to wring every bit of power out of Ford's 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine. It has a new supercharger kit available that can increase the GT's output by a whopping 330 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque.
The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT63 Isn't the Sports Car I Remember
The last-generation AMG GT is one of my favorite Mercedes vehicles ever. I’ve driven every trim, from the base car all the way to the nutso 720-horsepower Black Series, with thousands of miles behind the wheel. The old GT had all the luxuries you’d expect from a Mercedes product, but always put the driving experience first.
The New Flying Spur Will Be the Most Powerful Bentley Sedan Ever
Bentley models with 12-cylinder engines will soon be a thing of the past. The Continental GT has already switched to the new hybrid setup, and so will the Flying Spur. It's the last gasp for the W-12. But don't worry, one-percenters—you'll gain all kinds of horsepower in the transition.
These Old Toyota Trucks Are Awful. I Love Them.
I've had it up to here with my Toyota. (Now close your eyes and imagine a lanky mid-thirties man with his hand held somewhere near the ceiling). Our family finally outgrew the Tacoma we bought in 2020, a vehicle I swore to keep until the engine failed or until the sun exploded. Whichever came first. I bought the truck off the showroom floor—at a small discount and 0% APR—right when COVID uncertainty hit full swing.
