The court-appointed United Auto Workers monitor this week issued a cease-and-desist order against Region 2B Director Dave Green over an election rule violation.

The monitor, attorney Neil Barofsky of Jenner & Block LLP, found that leadership in the region, which covers Ohio and Indiana, pressured staff to remain neutral in the UAW's fall ...Read more

A coalition of major automakers urged U.S. lawmakers to permanently ban Chinese vehicles, citing the threats they pose to domestic economic and national security interests.

In a letter to Democratic and Republican leadership of both the House of Representatives and Senate, the head of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation said lawmakers should...Read more

U.S. sales for Ford Motor Co. fell 10.3% year-over-year in August, but higher-margin retail share was slightly up, despite the discontinuation of the Escape and Lincoln Corsair crossovers to retool for next-generation electric vehicles.

The decline of total sales to 170,681 vehicles for the month was driven by decreases in the daily rental and...Read more

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is expected to finalize dramatically relaxed fuel economy standards for consumer cars and trucks in the coming days, though questions and concerns loom over the new rules.

The rules, which analysts expect to mostly match a proposal from late 2025, would slash light-duty corporate average fuel economy (...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

There are five midsize pickups available right now, but only one even offers a manual transmission -- something that was once usually standard in pickups. The Ford Ranger, Nissan Frontier, Chevy Colorado and its GMC sibling the Canyon are all automatic only.

If you still like to row your own, there's only one choice: the Toyota Tacoma.

Nissan's Rogue has sold very well -- notwithstanding that it's not especially roguish. It's a competent, attractively priced compact crossover -- and that's been enough.

Now Nissan's offering something more that's also different -- and even a little bit actually roguish: a plug-in hybrid drivetrain without a transmission -- it's got direct ...Read more

As the number of midsize, three-row crossovers that still come with a V6 dwindles (one of the latest casualties is the Kia Telluride), the few that still do seem almost exotic.

It's a measure of the way things we used to take for granted have to a great extent been taken away.

For now, Honda hasn't taken away the V6 that's still the standard ...Read more
