Big V-8 weapons are returning to the Detroit Truck Wars. Unshackled from government regulations, the Ram 1500 has brought back its V-8 while Ford’s F-150 is offering a 700-horsepower, supercharged V-8 on all trims.

Now it’s Chevrolet’s turn with the new, fifth-generation Silverado.

The North America-assembled truck leans into its V-8 ...Read more

DETROIT — United Auto Workers delegates on Thursday voted in a narrow decision to amend their constitution prohibiting investment in Israel Bonds, a mark of a sea change in the union's politics, according to experts.

The passage is expected to result in the divestment of at least $400,000 in Israel Bonds, according to the passed resolution ...Read more

Detroit is making moves toward reclaiming its once-prolific role supporting the U.S. military as President Donald Trump calls for more weapons and more factories to build them.

Multiple wars and Trump's dream of a manufacturing renaissance are fueling demand for the U.S. defense industry and contractors. Known as the Arsenal of Democracy for ...Read more

A watershed moment has arrived -- for Volkswagen. This year will be the last year you'll be able to buy any VW with a manual transmission. This includes the Jetta, which (for the next six months) you can still get with a manual six-speed, in the Jetta GLI. Next year, it and every other model VW sells -- including the high-performance Golf...Read more

The least expensive new car you can still buy is also probably one of the least well-known small cars. It is not the Honda Civic. It is not the Toyota Corolla. It is not the Hyundai Elantra.

It is the Elantra's Kia cousin, the K4.

What It Is

The K4 sedan is Kia's least expensive car and also the least expensive new car you can buy, period. It...Read more

It's also a lot more expensive.

The Outback used to be one of Subaru's more affordable models, with a base price under $30,000.

There are several things that are unusual about the 2026 Land Rover Defender. The first is that it's available in different wheelbase lengths and two- and four-door body styles -- with seats for as few as five and as many as seven. The second is that it's available with four different engines, including two different V8s (as well as a ...Read more

There are only a few new vehicles you can still buy for less than $23,000 -- and even fewer of them are cars. The Hyundai Venue and the Chevy Trax, currently the least expensive new vehicles at around $21,000 to start, are both crossovers. If you're interested in a new vehicle that isn't a crossover -- and doesn't cost more ...Read more

The Hyundai Palisade and its Kia-badged sibling, the Telluride, have each been hot sellers. Part of the reason why is probably because they're both refreshingly inexpensive -- under $40,000 to start for a full-size, seven-to-eight-passenger crossover being just that these days -- and even more so because for that you get a standard V6 engine, a ...Read more

Lincoln has always been a luxury brand.

Meaning it isn't a luxury-sport brand, which is what pretty much every other luxury brand has turned into over the past 25 years or so. There was a brief dabbling with the luxury-sport thing back in the mid-to-late '80s and into the '90s, with models like the Mark VII LSC sport coupe and the LS ...Read more
