In the world of new cars, the Dodge Durango is essentially ancient. The SUV's last full redesign hit the market during President Barack Obama's first term.

Occupy Wall Street was a thing. The Green Bay Packers had just won the Super Bowl. Instagram was in its infancy.

More than 15 years later, the Detroit-built three-row family hauler is, ...Read more

After a turbulent 2025, U.S. electric-vehicle market share stabilized in the first three months of 2026 at 5.8% — consistent with Q4 2025, the first quarter without government incentives ended by Congress and President Donald Trump. EV sales swings from the United States to Norway to China have consistently tracked government support, industry...Read more

Ford Motor Co. over the past year recalled more vehicles than the rest of the major automotive industry, resulting in one study projecting that one of its models could see close to 100 recalls over the course of its lifetime.

Recalls are often a hassle for customers who may have to take their vehicle into a dealership for a fix or coordinate ...Read more

Now that every "car" company sells mostly crossovers, how do you get the crossover you're hoping to sell to stand out from the crowd? One of the ways Infiniti has come up with is to offer a crossover that has an engine that's different than the engine you'll find in any other crossover.

What It is

The QX60 is a midsize, three-row luxury ...Read more

In case you didn't know, Mazda only sells two cars now -- and one of them (the Miata) isn't exactly what you'd call a family car.

Everything else Mazda currently sells is a crossover.

Except for one other.

It's the 3 -- still available as a sedan or a five-door hatchback. Both are alternatives to a crossover, which for some of us is ...Read more

How much difference does two years make? About $3,385 is how much. That is how much more Lexus is asking for the 2026 GX550 -- which is otherwise identical to the 2024 GX550.

This isn't Toyota's fault, by the way. It is a consequence of the tariffs (that is to say, the taxes) Toyota is having to pay -- which means you'll be paying for ...Read more

Once upon a time, Volkswagen's GTI was a hopped-up Golf.

The Golf (also called the Rabbit for a while) was the mass-market model; the GTI the performance model -- similar to the way there's a Mustang and also a Mustang GT.

Both the Golf and the GTI were once pretty inexpensive too.

Now there's just the GTI, VW having canceled the Golf (in the...Read more

You may have heard the news that the 2027 Toyota Highlander is going to be electric only. That may not be welcome news if you're wanting a Highlander that isn't an electric vehicle.

The good news is that the Grand Highlander still comes standard with an engine rather than a battery pack. It also has something else the regular Highlander hasn't ...Read more

What's the difference between the Mazda CX-70 and the Mazda CX-90 -- other than the latter having three rows while the former has two?

Next to nothing.

And that's not a bad thing.

What It Is

The CX-70 is the two-row iteration of the CX-90. Or you could say the CX-90 is the three-row iteration of the CX-70. It amounts to the same thing as ...Read more

Some of the least well-known new cars are among the ones most looking into. The catch: If you don't know it exists, it's not likely you'll be looking into it.

One of these is Volvo's V90 wagon.

In the first place because it's a wagon -- rather than another crossover. In the second, because it's priced thousands less than the better-...Read more

It's gotten so that you almost can't find a standard (or even optional) V6 engine in a new midsize pickup anymore.

The Honda Ridgeline is one of just two that still comes standard with one. The rest no longer even offer one. And the Ridgeline's not really a pickup. At least not by the usual standards.

But that's not necessarily a...Read more
