Citroën has revived the legendary 2CV, suggesting that a production model could land on the European market by 2028 with a claimed MSRP of €15,000 (about $16,800). It’s the exact kind of car the world seems to need right now. The original 2CV debuted in 1948 to provide affordable transportation for Europeans still recovering from World War II. The model was slow, basic, and quite possibly the most

Kia wants you to believe the EV3 will become its best-selling electric car in the United States. Young Kim, Kia's senior product planning manager in charge of the car, said at the EV3's press drive that the company expects the little crossover to take the crown. When? He wouldn't say. The EV3 has already pulled off the feat in Europe, where it launched a couple of years ago. Kia says it topped the

An original Batmobile from Tim Burton's 1992 "Batman Returns" is crossing the block in Los Angeles on November 23, and the estimate reads like a hypercar price list with an extra digit bolted on. Julien's Auctions and Turner Classic Movies expect it to fetch between $5 million and $7 million, according to the Robb Report . If it lands at the top of that range, Julien's figures it would be the pric

The first generation Taurus of 1986 launched in four trim levels and offered a wide array of optional extras. Many examples were equipped with one of Ford’s Preferred Equipment Packages (PEPs), that bundled popular options together at a cost savings and made ordering vehicles easier for dealers and customers. To keep the (very high volume of) customers flowing Ford updated the first-gen model a fe

Geely Auto is coming to Canada. The company recently confirmed it will start up Canadian operations and a dealer and service footprint before any vehicles go on sale in 2027. What it won't tell you is which vehicles those will be. For a company staking out a new market, Geely Auto Canada is keeping an impressive number of cards face down. No models. No pricing. No dealership locations. No word on

Hyundai built an off-road concept bristling with armored body panels, chunky off-road wheels and tires, a lifted suspension, and a full catalog of rock-crawling accessories. The only problem for anyone itching to drive it: it doesn't exist in physical form. The Crater Concept lives entirely inside a video game. Engineers at the Hyundai America Technical Center in Irvine, California, created the Cr

The Ford GT90 did not arrive like a normal concept car. No, it arrived like someone at Ford had taken the idea of restraint, placed it on a workbench, hit it with a spanner, and then asked Special Vehicle Operations to build a midengined supercar before anyone from accounting could find the door. This was 1995. The McLaren F1 was already out in the world, being perfect and irritatingly clever. The

Honda wants to charge your EV while you drive. Not at a stall, not in your garage overnight, but in motion at highway speeds, via induction coils buried in the pavement. On-road demonstration testing is slated to begin April 1, 2027, on a purpose-built road in Japan's Saitama Prefecture. This idea isn't new, and the graveyard is instructive. Qualcomm pushed a version it called "Halo," demonstratin

It wasn’t that long ago when SUVs skyrocketed to the top of the market, becoming the biggest selling segment in the industry. It was impactful enough that Ford and General Motors dumped their sedans to focus on filling any gaps in the SUV market. However, after decades of midsize utes being the lead dogs, in terms of sales, the pendulum appears to be swinging the other way. Chevrolet rolled out it

The seven-year car loan is no longer an edge case. According to Edmunds , loans of 84 months or longer accounted for more than 25 percent of new-vehicle financing in the third quarter of 2026, a new record. That's up from 23.9 percent in the second quarter and 21.8 percent a year earlier, per Edmunds. One in four new-car buyers is now signing up to make payments well into the next presidential ter

Two years after the Type 00 concept detonated across social media in Miami, Jaguar has brought the production car, predictably badged Type 01, to a reveal in New York. The concept's debut got buried under the outrage over the company tossing aside nearly 90 years of heritage. Now there's an actual car to argue about. Order books stay shut until early 2027, and Jaguar says first deliveries won't ar

Charging an EV at home is supposed to be about as thrilling as plugging in a phone. One Rivian R1S owner got the opposite experience, and the photos are brutal. Images posted to the Rivian subreddit show an R1S whose entire front end is cooked, plus substantial fire damage to the garage next to it. The Reddit user who shared the pictures said they came across the aftermath while walking the dog, a

Industry design trends have left the world with a deficit of cute cars. The modern bias has been to give vehicles a menacing aura, ideally nodding to the model boasting some kind of off-road performance. Despite being known for fielding playful automobiles, Mini has decided to update the Countryman using that exact recipe with the new Untamed Edition. The crossover receives a set of all-new Pirell

Way back in the last century, the world was facing a multitude of problems, and in order to inspire confidence in Americans, then-President Franklin Delano Roosevelt — a big car fan! — told the country, “The only thing to fear is fear itself.” Fast forward nearly 100 years, U.S. automakers are facing, well, a multitude of problems. However, no statesman is stepping up to assuage the worries of top

The dream of a general-purpose AI that can do anything your phone's chatbot does, including pilot a two-ton vehicle, just got a reality check. Researchers handed frontier models complete control of a Toyota Corolla and watched most of them fail spectacularly before the first turn. Researchers Aditya Ramabadran, Simon Mahns, and Tobias Gessler built DrivingBench, a test designed to see how well off

After years of watching vehicle theft numbers climb at a pace that embarrassed insurers and automakers alike, the trend has finally reversed, and the latest figures suggest it isn't a fluke. The National Insurance Crime Bureau's latest data shows vehicle thefts nationwide dropped 21 percent in the first half of 2026 compared to the same stretch in 2025. A total of 268,415 vehicles were reported st

We hope you’re sitting down because Tesla has updated the Model 3 to include an even bigger screen. This has been done in tandem with other changes you probably won’t care about, like giving the Performance trim more power and improved range. Premium models also see some improved zero-to-60 times. But we know that Tesla buyers care most about their screens, which serve as the true heart and soul o
