Earlier this month, Mopar Insiders said it got wind of a special edition Dodge Challenger that would help celebrate the end of the muscle car’s extraordinary production run.

The design statement Hyundai is making with the battery-electric Ioniq 6 is probably giving the Korean automaker the feedback it was after — healthy debate with plenty of support and few, if any, onlookers demanding the sedan be sent somewhere out of sight.

At the 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon, one of the Toyotas we feasted on was the Gazoo Racing GT3 Concept.

Chevrolet’s forthcoming Blazer SS electric SUV was spotted testing in the wild this week alongside a gasoline-powered Blazer and Volkswagen’s ID.4 EV, suggesting that GM is using the German compact as a benchmark for chassis tuning.  This prototype gives off some Hyundai Ioniq 5 vibes under its still-plentiful camouflage, but the lines are unmistakably Blazer, […] May 22, 2022 at 01:15AM

Ten years ago, the brand new 2013 Subaru BRZ had a twin brother called the Scion FR-S, which we said “absolutely wins the fun-per-dollar category.” Scion and the FR-S name have been dead these many long years now, but the BRZ and Toyota GR86 have only come more alive; we recently cooed that the second-gen […] April 12, 2022 at 12:45AM

Spies captured the next-generation Cadillac CT6 testing in the wild under heavy camouflage. We have zero expectations that this replacement full-size sedan will be sold stateside, but our spies tell us that the new platform underpinning this mule is electrification-ready, meaning it could easily underpin something emissions-friendly if CAFE and American consumer interests were to […] March 22, 2022 at 06:46AM

Audi is working on the 2023 E-Tron and E-Tron Sportback at the Volkswagen Group testing facility in northern Sweden. KALT 1 is the name of the Lapland location, kalt being the German word for cold.

Cadillac sent out a whopper of a teaser video Thursday, doing everything short of confirming the existence of the long-rumored Escalade V.
