Getting your vehicle serviced can be a real hassle, but luckily, GM customers have a few options at their disposal to streamline the experience. That includes GM Mobile Service Plus, which essentially enables GM customers to have their vehicle serviced at their home or work. In addition, the service provides the option to have team members pick the vehicle up and deliver it when the service is complete. Now, GM Authority is taking a closer look at GM Mobile Service Plus.

A prime example of a well-preserved classic car recently emerged from auctions: a 1987 Buick GNX boasting a remarkably low odometer reading. This particular treasure, having only accumulated 282 miles throughout its existence, had been meticulously stored away since it left the showroom floor. This strategic decision by the original owner ultimately paid off handsomely, as the GNX commanded a staggering price at auction. But this isn’t a singular story.

Recent reports citing close sources suggest Nissan is about to pull back its sedan offerings. Just last year after a four-decade production run, the Nissan Maxima drove into the history books. It joins the likes of former icons like the Ford Taurus, Chrysler 300 and Chevrolet Impala (not to mention the Malibu’s impending demise), and it appears that the automaker isn’t content to stop there. Automotive News reports, citing anonymous sources close to the matter, that two of its three remaining sedans are on the way out. That leaves just one sedan in the company’s U.S. lineup moving forward — and it’s not the one you probably expect.

The history of the Jeep Wagoneer is a little strange. Since it first hit the market for the 1963 model year, it has gone through a lot of evolution. For six decades, Jeep has utilized that name to mean different things, shifting between being its own model of SUV and being a high-level trim for a different SUV like the Grand Cherokee. The company firmly reestablished the Wagoneer as its own vehicle once again for the 2022 model year, and with the electric Wagoneer S reportedly on the way in the fall of 2024, it seems like Jeep has finally committed to this SUV after it being just a branding tactic at certain points in its history.

Chevrolet is now committed to debuting the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 on July 25, 2024. The wait has been brutal for the Corvette faithful as the ZR1 is the car that dreams are made of. The ZR1 signifies a pinnacle vehicle in the Chevrolet food chain, and it is expected that the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 will blow the doors off its competitors, including the Corvette Z06. Chevrolet is still not confirming any details at this point. Chevrolet only confirmed the vehicle’s existence earlier this year, even though spies have seen it testing at Nürburgring in Germany for at least a year. Chevrolet has been teasing the date, but no photos of the supercar.

In late 2018, FoMoCo revealed the 2019 Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition, reviving a rather iconic feature from the past just in time to celebrate the luxury brand’s 80th anniversary. At the time, it seemed like this special model would represent little more than a niche offering, but The Blue Oval severely underestimated demand for the Lincoln Continental Coach Edition, as it built just 80 total units at first – each of which sold out in 48 hours, in spite of their $110k+ price tag. Thus, Ford decided to continue production and ultimately built 230 total units of this special luxury sedan including the 2020 model year – one of which is now up for grabs.

Midsize trucks are once again well in vogue, and in the past few years across our various MotorTrend media platforms, we’ve seen an uptick in interest when it comes to off-road trucks and off-roading in general. The latter got us thinking about how to better incorporate pickup trucks like this into our Performance Vehicle of the Year program, so we devised a hybrid road/off-road course to aid our evaluations at Chuckwalla Raceway. The idea was to provide a more appropriate venue to highlight their abilities as their makers intended—not every performance vehicle has to be a racetrack-oriented sports car—and the judges arrived at the track eager to give the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor a proper go.
