Chinese automakers could take 11% of the U.S. market share by the end of the next decade if guardrails designed to keep the manufacturing giant out are undone, an industry expert said Wednesday, Sept. 23.

DEARBORN, Michigan — "Speed" is the first thing the director of Ford Motor Co.'s Research and Advanced Engineering team says his group needs to deliver in the future — or risk falling behind foreign rivals.

DETROIT — The GMC Sierra 1500 pickup truck is back for its fifth generation with more tech, power and swagger.

Like sibling Chevrolet Silverado’s fifth-generation unveiling in June, the Sierra offers up to 60 inches of screens, pushrod V8-engine displacement upgrades, and a new front fascia with mid-mounted headlights. As General Motors Co....Read more

This will be the last year you'll be able to buy a Mercedes C-Class sedan with an engine -- at least for a while. Next year, the C-Class sedan will come only with a battery (and electric motors) -- at least for a while.

Sometime after the new, battery-powered C-Class appears for the 2027 model year, Mercedes will offer its entry-level small ...Read more

Something interesting has happened to the twins -- Kia's Telluride and its Hyundai-badged sibling, the Palisade. Both of these midsize crossovers used to come standard with V6 engines.

Now only one of them -- the Palisade -- does.

What does that mean for the Telluride?

What It Is

The Telluride is Kia's very popular midsize, three-row ...Read more

Here's an interesting thing to ponder -- if you're in the market for a full-size pickup: You could buy a half-ton F-150 regular cab and opt for the 5.0-liter V8 (in lieu of the otherwise standard 2.7-liter twin-turbo'd V6), or you could buy a three-quarter-ton F-250 regular cab -- which comes standard with a 7.3-liter V8 -- and pay only...Read more

Is 4.2 inches more worth $35,700 more?

That's one way to look at the difference between a Range Rover Sport, which lists for $77,600 to start, and its only slightly bigger brother, the regular Range Rover, which lists for $113,300 to start.

There are of course some other differences. The slightly bigger Range Rover does come standard ...Read more

The number of new vehicles you can buy if you've only got about $22,000 to spend is on par with the number of habitable planets in our solar system. There's the Earth -- and there's not much else. The Chevy Trax is one of just two new vehicles you can still buy for a little less than $22,000.

What It Is

The Trax is a subcompact crossover and...Read more

The affordability thing is a real thing -- and Kia is trying to address it. The Seltos, which used to be all-wheel drive only, is now AWD optional. It's also larger -- and a lot nicer. At a glance, it looks like Kia's very popular Telluride -- which is also nice but starts at $39,190.

The new Seltos starts at $24,990 -- and you may be ...Read more

The Subaru Outback Wilderness begs a question that deserves an answer: Do you need a four-wheel-drive SUV to have the capability to go off-roading?

Not just off onto the grass.

If all you need is to be able to do that -- and to keep your wheels from slipping when you're on-road -- then a regular Outback with all-wheel drive will more than ...Read more

For decades, the big kahunas -- literally -- in the full-size, luxury marque SUV segment have been models like the Cadillac Escalade and the Lincoln Navigator. The Infiniti QX80 is now every bit the kahuna they are -- and, in some ways, more so.

Also a bit less so -- in that the big Q stickers for thousands less to start than either the ...Read more
