Today has become, completely unplanned, Cadillac day around here. Sometimes one story about a brand begets another one or two. That's been the case this afternoon.

It might surprise you that the Chevrolet Malibu is still in production, but according to a The Detroit News report I found via Autoblog, the venerable mid-size sedan will finish rolling off assembly lines in November.

Formula 1, as a global racing series, is immensely popular. It is, however, generally considered to not be as popular with an American audience, though its popularity seems to be growing in the States.

Earlier today I went on a bit of a rant about why I don't think, at this point in time at least, that automatic emergency braking shouldn't be mandated to be standard in new cars. Of course, it will be starting in 2029.

We've talked about autonomous cars on the podcast twice in recent weeks.

Jeep has brought back the Tuscadero color for the Wrangler, and now added it to the Gladiator.

For those unfamiliar, it's eye-searingly pink.

Yesterday, Tesla laid off the entire team responsible for working on its Supercharger stations. Considering that so many other automakers are in the process of switching to the Tesla charging standard, how is this going to affect the EV charging landscape?

I got a press release from Aston Martin today about the opening of a high-rise condo building in Miami that bears the company's branding.

Of course, the 66-story, 391-unit building is opening in time for next week's Miami Grand Prix Forumla 1 race.

We brought you news this morning that Fisker founder and boss Henrik Fisker has apparently listed his L.A. mansion for sale for more than Fisker appears to be worth.

So, would you rather own the house or own a small automaker?

Earlier today we reported on Honda's plan to invest in EV manufacturing in Canada.

Will it pay off?

We reported this morning on Nissan's plans to roll out new versions of the Armada, Murano, and Rogue as part of a plan to revitalize the brand and generate more sales.

Will it work?

Today we covered Tesla's back-and-forth on whether it will or won't build an affordable EV.

Yesterday we reported on a Consumer Reports story listing the most expensive and least expensive car brands in terms of maintenance.

Workers at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, voted to unionize on Friday. But the UAW won't stop there.

Matt went long on the UAW's drive to unionize auto plants located in the American South.
