Ford has racked up many recalls over the last few years, and the costs are weighing down its bottom line. The automaker reported its second-quarter financial results this week and revealed that recall and warranty costs hit $2.3 billion over the last three months, costing the company $25.5 million a day. That's up a whopping $800 million compared to the first quarter.

A CAR dealership has been hit with a massive $75,000 fine after it was revealed that they had been tampering with the emission controls on diesel vehicles. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the dealership had been installing and selling parts known as “defeat devices” on many of their cars from 2017 to 2019. […]

Walmart’s Zoom call in May was anything but routine for the roughly 300 employees who learned they would need to relocate or lose their jobs. Bloomberg, citing unnamed sources with knowledge of the situation that were on the call but not allowed to speak during it, said they were told during the meeting that Walmart would start requiring thousands of workers from its smaller offices and remote locations to move to one of its main office hubs to boost in-person presence.

The only manual V8 RWD sedan left in America is a compelling proposition all on its own; the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a reminder of what AMG used to be, and after being refreshed for 2025 with new looks and a 33-inch touchscreen, it's on par with German automakers in the interior tech department. The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing didn't get any performance enhancements when it was revealed at the beginning of this year, and we didn't think it needed any, but now Cadillac has addressed the issue with a new Precision Package that promises enhanced handling for all driving conditions.

Performance and luxury cars that can still take regular gas in 2024

Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.

Vehicles often feature several trims, so letters are often added to help identify the different variants. For example, an SE might mean "Sports Edition," and an LE might stand for "Luxury Edition," as it does on Toyota trim levels. Usually, the automaker indicates what the letters stand for so there isn't any argument among vehicle enthusiasts. However, in the case of Pontiac GXP — without official word — car enthusiasts are left guessing. That said, some on the internet have come up with compelling answers to the question, so you'll have to decide on a consensus for yourself.

Ford built Continentals from the 1940 through 2020 model years (with a couple of pauses during that period), and the biggest and arguably most extreme Continentals of all were the 1977-1979 models. That's what we've got for today's Junkyard Gem: a 1979 Continental Town Car with Cream paint outside and plenty of Light Gold Jubilee velour inside, found in a self-service boneyard in Sparks, Nevada.

An American automaker is beating Ford in overall truck sales

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ll be aware that multi-million-dollar cars require eye-watering amounts of money just for simple maintenance and servicing, especially if it’s a Bugatti. Over the years, we’ve had many Bugatti owners tell us how insanely expensive it is to own a hypercar. While a 27-year-old recently claimed that his $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Carbon goes a mere 62 miles on a full tank of fuel, renowned entrepreneur and influencer Manny Khoshbin has given a detailed account of the ownership cost of his Veyron in the past. He claimed that all fluids have to be changed each year, and that costs a whopping $25,000.

The owner of a $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron was shocked when the official service center quoted him $12,000 to replace a faulty door mirror switch. The clever owner took it to a supercar specialist who swapped it with an identical part from a Volkswagen van, which cost just $1.
