Just about every automaker making cars and trucks in America is stopping production here and there. Even Rivian, which has yet to make a single car intended for sale, has shut its facilities for the moment.

What’s FCA doing with the Wrangler?
FCA sent two messages this week with the Wrangler.

Should Ford take the SUV path less traveled?
With the upcoming Ford Bronco and the Ford “Maverick” (the likely name for the baby Bronco), it seems Ford is taking an interesting path for its more rugged CUVs/SUVs.
