Deploying Cruise Bolts rather than the tall Origin box-like minibus helps the automaker scale development of Ultium EVs, said GM’s CFO. The Cruise subsidiary lost $900 million in the first half of 2024, off of $100 million in revenues. But it was an improvement from Cruise’s first-half 2023 loss of $1.2 billion.

DETROIT (AP) — Ford is recalling more than 550,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. because the transmissions can unexpectedly downshift to first gear no matter how fast the trucks are going. The recall covers certain F-150 pickups from the 2014 model year. Ford’s F-Series pickups are the top-selling vehicles in the U.S.  Ford says in documents posted Tuesday by U.S. safety regulators that the downshifting can cause drivers to lose control of the trucks, increasing the risk of a crash. The recalls come after U.S. auto safety regulators in March began investigating complaints that more than 540,000 Ford pickup trucks from 2014 can abruptly downshift to a lower gear and increase the risk of a crash.

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.

( ) – Small SUVs and crossovers have replaced midsize sedans as the best-selling cars in the U.S. because they offer a combination of roomy interior space, practical cargo space, car-like maneuverability, and some of the highest EPA-rated fuel economy numbers available in a traditional front-wheel drive or all-wheel-drive SUV. And while higher gas prices have forced buyers to reconsider fuel economy when shopping for a new car, buyers should also research advanced safety features, like adaptive cruise control, and convenience factors like the infotainment system and automatic parking, before committing to a purchase.
