[Stay on top of transportation news: Get TTNews in your inbox.]. Electric vehicle prices are falling fast in the U.S., but the cheapest models remain far more costly than what other countries have on offer. The BYD Seagull sells for about $10,000 in China, the Dacia Spring starts at $20,000 in Europe, the Renault Kwid e-Tech costs $19,000 in Brazil, and the Kia Ray goes for $22,000 in South Korea.

Stellantis has posted its Q2 and H1 sales for 2024, with overall group sales plummeting by 21% and 16%, respectively, in the USA. All brands, except for Alfa Romeo and Fiat, saw a decline in sales. Among the Jeep, Dodge, Ram, and Chrysler brands, the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are the only individual models that enjoyed soaring sales, making them Jeep's best-selling vehicles even though they don't wear Jeep badged (although that will soon change).

Used cars to avoid? Chevy, Ford top Consumer Reports’ list

To call the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV a big deal is like calling Jeff Bezos simply rich: technically correct, but lacking appropriate context. The Blazer EV has had to wear more hats than Nelly and the Madden twins combined. It ushers in a new era of EVs at the Bow Tie brand as the first semi-affordable take on the Ultium platform; it targets the toughest electric segment out there; it earned plaudits almost immediately—and then Chevy removed it from sale for a little over two months.

While some automakers hype up EVs that won't come out for another several years, Toyota does the same with combustion engines. Well ahead of their introduction in production cars, the new four-cylinder ICEs were unveiled as work-in-progress developments at the end of May. Now, the Japanese automaker’s Chief Technology Officer is providing more details about what lies ahead.

Toyota Claims Its New Combustion Engines Are a Game-Changer

Ever since its debut three years ago, the GMC Hummer EV SUV has been a regular appearance in YouTube videos, thanks to its size, polarizing looks and impressive spec sheet. Now, famous car reviewer and InsideEVs friend Doug DeMuro got his hands on a 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV in 3X trim and made a video where he talked about all the quirks and features, as he does with all the cars he drives. Until we finish our own review of the battery-powered Hummer, let’s see what DeMuro has to say about the crab-walking electric SUV.

In North America, Volvo faces delays for its affordable EX30 electric crossover after new tariffs designed to curb Chinese EV imports to the US went into effect. Here, the crossover has been delayed until 2025, when Volvo can spin up manufacturing in Belgium to skirt the 100%+ tariffs. Overseas in Europe, however, the owners who do have their cars are having problems of their own, per Autocar.

It definitely upsets some readers, but here at Jalopnik, we’re fully on Team Don’t Drive A Childcrusher 9000. Cars are fun and all, but they’re not more important than people’s lives. And unfortunately for everyone who does anything outside of a car, tall hoods on large trucks and SUVs make them especially deadly in the event of a crash. As it turns out, though, we do have an unlikely ally — Jim Farley, the CEO of Ford, a company that almost exclusively sells trucks and SUVs.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

American car buyers have an almost unbelievable affinity for pickup trucks of all shapes and sizes. For just about as long as pretty much anyone reading this can likely remember, the best-selling vehicles overall in the United States have been trucks, led for 42 years by the Ford F-Series (it's been the best-selling truck for 47 consecutive years), closely followed by competitors like the Chevrolet Silverado, Ram and GMC Sierra lineups. This being the case, it certainly won't come as a surprise to see that the best-selling used vehicles in America are also trucks. But which used trucks are the best used trucks to buy in 2024?
