We've already done this once, but that was for a different set of tariffs. Now President Donald Trump has new tariffs on foreign cars and parts set to go into effect next week.

Let's take another peek at some data, thanks to Cox Automotive.

The Wall Street Journal has a new report out suggesting that President Donald Trump warned automakers not to raise prices, presumably so that increased costs by the tariffs aren't passed on to the consumer.

In other words, it appears he was asking automakers to take a hit so that tariffs wouldn't be unpopular with consumers.

According to CNBC, Wall Street analysts have Tesla pegged as a car company that will benefit from President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trevor Milton, who was sentenced to four years in prison last year for deceptively overselling the potential of the products offered by his electric-truck startup, has been pardoned by President Donald Trump.

How a car looks has no tangible impact on how it drives or performs, but BMW found out the hard way that styling really matters to buyers, especially when they’re being asked to pay deep six-figure prices for a vehicle. The automaker has had an exceptionally hard time selling its XM SUV over the last year or so, leading it to offer some truly impressive discounts.

President Donald Trump recently announced 25-percent tariffs on all imported vehicles, sending automakers into yet another frenzy as they try to guess what’s coming next. While even the most American-made cars contain imported parts that could be impacted by the trade war, the President said House Speaker Mike Johnson is taking steps to incentivize the purchase of a domestically-produced car.

Despite offering one of the most user-friendly infotainment systems on the market today, Hyundai plans to revamp its technology interfaces in next-generation vehicles. The automaker recently announced its new Pleos software, which will form the basis of future infotainment interfaces and vehicle operating systems.

The United Automobile Workers (UAW) has officially come out in favor of the Trump administration’s plan to levy a 25-percent tariff on imported vehicles. Union leadership called it the “beginning of the end of a thirty-plus year ‘free trade’ disaster” and a “a long-overdue shift away from a harmful economic framework that has devastated the working class.”

The General is rounding out the Sierra EV trim walk with a couple of models which are very popular on the internal combustion side of the showroom.

German workers enjoy some of the most robust protections of any country in the world. Tesla, an American company with a factory near Berlin, has seen protests and other disruptions in its German operations, and it’s now facing allegations that it withheld pay from sick workers and pressured them to disclose their private medical information.

Hyundai has significantly expanded its North American manufacturing footprint over the last few years, and its massive Georgia production facility recently announced a major milestone. The factory is now open and ready to start rolling new Hyundai Ioniq 9 EVs off the line.

Here we are. We’re really doing this again. General Motors is threatening Corvette ZR1 buyers with a voided warranty if they flip the car within one year of their purchase. It’s the same approach the automaker took with the Z06, with the company requiring buyers to sign a document stating that if they “sell, or otherwise transfer ownership” of the car within the first year, most of the car's warranties are forfeited.

President Donald Trump announced 25 percent tariffs on imported cars on Wednesday afternoon.

Earlier this year, Canadian officials in Ottawa were surprised by Tesla’s last-minute sales charge, which saw thousands of electric vehicle rebate claims filed in the last three days of the province’s incentive program. That surprise quickly turned into suspicion, as the country’s new Transport Minister, Chrystia Freeland, said Canada would pause incentive payouts while it investigated “each claim.”

The Nissan Leaf is a decent value and has a surprisingly useful interior, but it’s past the point of needing an update. Nissan is poised to do just that in 2026, with a new Leaf that will arrive as an SUV instead of the hatchback shape it’s sported for years..

Stellantis has, like many automakers, been signaling that planned pivot toward all-electric vehicles hasn’t gone as intended. We recently covered rumors that HEMI V8s would be reentering production inside the United States and there is now evidence that Alfa Romeo doesn’t think its customers will go for performance EVs either.

General Motors’ Cruise division ran into trouble in San Francisco after a string of high-profile crashes and other problems, ultimately leading to its closure, but Waymo is still going strong, and is racking up a serious number of parking tickets in the process. The Washington Post recently reported that the Google company picked up almost 600 parking tickets in 2024.

The Austin American Statesman reports that multiple incendiary devices were found at an Austin-area Tesla showroom yesterday.

At a press conference in the White House, President Donald Trump commended an upcoming $6 billion investment by Hyundai to further steel production in the state of Louisiana.

Depreciation is a fact of life for vehicle owners, but as we’ve long known, some brands lose value much faster than others. iSeeCars recently released a list of the models that hold their values the best and found that while EVs depreciate quickly, the same isn’t true for other electrified vehicles.

Hyundai EV owners gained access to Tesla’s Supercharging network today, giving them more than 20,000 new charging locations across the country. While the automaker will begin installing the necessary Tesla charging hardware in future vehicles, those already on the road need an adapter to use a Supercharger, but they won’t be waiting long, as Hyundai said it would begin shipping the devices soon.

We’ve seen stories of enterprising thieves stealing cars right off of factory storage lots, but this most recent incident might take the cake. Thieves hit the Chevrolet Corvette factory in Bowling Green, KY, last week, taking eight cars on a short-lived expedition.

Stellantis clearly did itself a major disservice by discontinuing its iconic line of V8 engines. But there have been endless rumors, and even public speculation from upper management, that the company wanted to correct that mistake and restore some goodwill with ardent Mopar fans. The latest of these are reports that the Dundee Engine Plant in Michigan will be retooled to manufacture the entire HEMI V8 family by August.

That headline isn’t clickbait. In one of those random moments where one falls down the rabbit hole of the Internet, your author discovered a very interesting moment in history from the early part of the 20th century. It was a one-off event, where a new racetrack and its enterprising owners worked to bring the Indianapolis 500 event to Cincinnati, Ohio. The race actually happened, and it’s a part of history that’s worth telling.

Lithium-ion batteries power the vast majority of today’s EVs, but they don’t contain the most efficient formulation, and there are many legitimate environmental concerns around extracting the raw materials needed to build them. Alternative battery chemistries have shown promise, helping cut costs, but a German startup’s recent announcement shows that they could help significantly boost range while solid-state batteries remain in development.

California has long led the nation on environmental issues, and it offers some of the most aggressive electric vehicle incentives in the country. Knowing that, it’s not surprising to learn that the number of EV chargers in the state recently surpassed the number of gas pumps, with Governor Gavin Newsom announcing the milestone last week.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation into the Ford F-150, saying almost 1.3 million of the trucks could have an issue that causes an unexpected gear shift and a potential for a rear-wheel lockup.

By way of a social media post, President Donald Trump ratcheted up his rhetoric about anyone caught vandalizing a Tesla. Specifically, he suggested shipping those people to the prisons of El Salvador.

Another group of automotive-media Web sites is going away.

General Motors’ decision to remove Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone connectivity features from vehicles wasn’t a popular one. Consumers bemoaned the decision, originally pressuring the automaker to postpone just how swiftly changes would be implemented. But the overriding plan remained unchanged, resulting in aftermarket solutions that would allow the kind of smartphone integration drivers now expect. Unfortunately, reports are suggesting that GM has forced the company providing the kits and the dealerships offering installations to stop the practice.

Stellantis didn’t have the best end to 2024, cutting thousands of jobs under its previous CEO, Carlos Tavares. While Tavares’ time at the automaker came to an end in December, the company still finds itself in cost-cutting mode and recently offered buyouts to hourly employees at more than 20 locations.

Remember Karma Automotive? The company that rose from the ashes of Henrik Fisker’s first failed automotive venture has undergone a few evolutions over the years, and its latest brings the announcement of a new vehicle. Karma recently revealed the Amaris, an extended-range EV (EREV) with a striking grand touring shape and a BMW gas engine.

Used car prices haven’t tumbled as many predicted after their meteoric rise during and after COVID, but prices for used EVs have. Preowned vehicle pricing has fallen less than one percent over the last year, according to a recent study from iSeeCars, but used EVs dropped more than 15 percent during the same period.

Regional special editions are nothing new – witness the scads of Texas Edition and Lone Star badges in that part of the country. This new Big Bear trim for the Gladiator will be reserved for customers in California.

Nvidia’s chips provide processing power for vehicle safety systems, gaming computers, and many other high-intensity tasks, but General Motors will soon rely on them in its manufacturing and autonomous vehicle efforts.

Ram is reportedly considering adding a diesel option to the Power Wagon, supporting recent rumors leaked by dealerships. While the brand offers the Cummins diesel 6.7-liter straight-six on several HD models, the 2500 Power Wagon comes exclusively with a 6.4-liter V8 that burns gasoline. However, the company has said that may be subject to change in subsequent model years.

People in some regions can already buy a new Hyundai on Amazon, but the online platform is considering an expansion into the used car market. Amazon Autos director Fan Jin recently told Automotive News that the move would happen soon, moving the company into direct competition with several others in the space.

To put it lightly, Tesla is facing a few challenges right now, but it just added another line to its list of things to worry about. The automaker recently recalled more than 46,000 Cybertrucks for an issue that could cause parts of its body to fly off while driving.

Renault has revealed the production version of the 5 Turbo 3E, an all-electric hatchback that exists as an oddball tribute to the Renault 5 Turbo homologation car that existed so the automaker could compete in rallying over forty years ago.

Alfa Romeo stopped offering the Stelvio Quadrifoglio for the 2025 model year, cutting the SUV’s trim choices to two much milder variants. That will likely change with the introduction of the next-generation Stelvio, the debut of which Alfa’s CEO recently confirmed on social media.

Tariffs have the potential to make vehicles significantly more expensive, but some automakers have decided to temporarily absorb some of the price increases. Audi might not be one of them, however, as the company’s chief financial officer recently told Reuters that the automaker was seeking a “sweet spot” between rising prices and production output, and it could move some factories to the U.S. to sidestep the worst tariff impacts.

President Trump recently declared that vandalizing a Tesla store or vehicles would be considered an act of domestic terrorism, and at least one person in Las Vegas may be the first to test his words. A handful of Tesla cars were found on fire at a dealer in the city early Tuesday morning, and police said the person fired shots into other vehicles on the lot.

We've spent time covering President Donald Trump's tariffs, both enacted and proposed. Throughout our coverage we've seen various numbers bandied about when it comes to how much more a new car might cost because of tariffs.

Now The New York Times is trying to pin it down.

The automotive market has felt out of whack for quite some time. Dealer markups may have abated to a degree, with discounts starting to manifest, but we don’t really seem to be encountering the kinds of reasonable pricing North America enjoyed prior to 2020. Automakers have continued to prioritize larger vehicles that are easier to get past emissions and offer better profit margins. But consumers are tapped out and starting to notice they’re arguably getting less vehicle for their money than they used to and there is a wealth of data suggesting that the market is sincerely starting to struggle.

Part of the iconic trio from The Grand Tour and Top Gear are returning for a special, but it’s not what you’re likely hoping for. James May and Richard Hammond are teaming up on a new show called The Not Very Grand Tour, a retrospective that covers some of their more memorable moments on camera.

General Motors is expanding a recall it issued last year as it discovered more vehicles affected by the problem. The recall, which covers a problem that could cause the wheels to lock up, now impacts more than a half-million vehicles from Chevrolet and Cadillac.

Old calls to ‘Hellcat all the things’ might have gone unanswered at Stellantis but Ford is listening to off-roaders who’d like a Tremor package on vehicles without a 5.5-foot open cargo bed.

Commercial vans don’t always get the attention they deserve, especially electric models, but there’s a battle heating up between GM’s Chevrolet BrightDrop electric van and Rivian’s RCV. Chevy is offering massive incentives on its vans, making them up to 40 percent cheaper, and both models are now available to everyday buyers.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) regularly updates its crash-testing standards, which often knocks some vehicles out of contention for a Top Safety Pick award, but Mazda put up a strong showing. The IIHS recently released its list of 2025 Top Safety picks, and the automaker has earned more awards than any other so far this year.

It’s probably safe to say that no Fortune 500 CEO is hurting for money, but Ford’s Jim Farley saw his bank account balance grow by a little less than expected in 2024. His compensation dropped by more than $1.5 million dollars due to the automaker failing to hit its sales targets.

Automotive intelligence firm S&P Global Mobility is predicting that if President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs lead to a trade war, there's a 50 percent chance that the auto industry could enter a long period of disruption.

Toyota’s GR Corolla and GR Yaris are impressive cars, but their tiny, turbocharged three-cylinder engine has left many wanting more. The automaker is reportedly working on an upgrade for the cars, which could bring hybrid power and a larger four-cylinder engine.

Cupra’s U.S. debut felt imminent a few months ago, but questions around President Trump’s escalating trade war cast doubt on its arrival. The Volkswagen Group brand’s CEO recently confirmed that it was still on track for a U.S. debut by 2030, saying the decision to expand here “remains unchanged.”

It’s another Friday, so it’s time for another affordable Tesla rumor. The automaker is now expected to roll out a less expensive EV as soon as later this year, taking the form of a smaller Model Y.

Last year, Toyota announced that it was developing “ new engines tailored to electrification and the pursuit of carbon neutrality” in tandem with Mazda and Subaru. While the units would differ immensely from each other, all of them leverage things like electrification and/or alternative fuel types to maximize the efficiency of internal combustion. However, Toyota has let slip that it was actually eyeballing performance applications and that the 2.0-liter turbo was already being tested for use in GR-branded sports cars before moving to the more mainstream models.

No, the exclamation point in that headline isn’t a notation of our excitement – it is genuinely part of this outrageous color’s official name.

Depending on your experience, you may have mixed feelings about your dealer’s service department, but a recent study from J.D. Power showed that owner satisfaction with dealer service departments remains strong in 2025.

Audi’s EVs have earned high marks for performance and driving experience, but they’ve never been ranked among the longest-range models on the market. The 2025 A6 Sportback E-Tron bucks that trend, arriving in the U.S. with up to 392 miles of range, making it the longest-range vehicle in Audi’s North American catalog.

Taxi drivers have always had a contentious relationship with ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft, as the apps took over much of the passenger volume in major cities across the globe. Canadian drivers finally have a way to fight back, however, as President Trump’s tariff war has driven a wave of national pride in the country and could drive passengers back to locally-owned taxi shops.

Ford will officially be ending production of the Focus in November, wrapping up the model’s quarter-century of service. While Blue Oval had announced that the compact car would be discontinued back in 2022, we now have an official timeline for its discontinuation.
