GM has thrown in the towel on using its own telematics, and will instead use software from Google in all of its cars. You may have avoided giving your location and personal information to Google so far, but if you drive a Chevy, Buick, GMC, or Cadillac starting around 2021, it will use Google’s voice assistant, […]
The latest replacement for the original Jeep (Willys MA and MB) might be made by GM Defense. Field tests in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, led the Army to select three prototype Infantry Squad Vehicles for further development. One, made by GM Defense, was based on the Chevrolet Colorado; it uses both custom and desert-racing parts. The […]
Ford has recently committed to develop more electrified vehicles to fill their lineup. One of those vehicles that has been widely talked about has been the Mustang-inspired SUV. That’s right, a taller electric Mustang with more than likely two doors will likely come to fruition. We do not have many details on Ford’s new vehicle, […]
While the Corvette C8 has already made a big splash with great performance numbers, an all-new design, and the transition to the mid-engine layout after decades of rumors, there’s another interesting rumor regarding the expansion of the Corvette family. While Corvette becoming its own brand seems like a stretch, it does seem possible for GM […]
Tesla has delayed the “smart summon” feature, which it claimed would be on its cars by now—and, with that delay, has also pushed back a $1,000 price increase for the “self-driving” package. Elon Musk, head of Tesla, had claimed that the feature would be available in mid-August, but it’s been delayed by around one or […]
If it seems familiar, you’re probably at least forty years old: Ford has issued a recall on certain SUVs because they might start rolling while in Park. What’s more, the dash won’t show any warnings, and the gear won’t show up in the PRNDL. It was a problem that affected hundreds of thousands of cars […]
GM has long been rumored to be developing a competitor for the popular Jeep Wrangler. The rumors started way back when they still had Hummer, with one model based on their large SUVs and another on the TrailBlazer; a third was always in the works to go after the Wrangler. Even now, they were supposed […]
Tesla doesn’t have what it takes to a car rental company, it seems. Bloomberg reported that Nextmove, a German rental outfit, had ordered a hundred Tesla Model 3s, but after getting only 15, they cancelled the rest. The cars reportedly had paint issues, bad wiring, dashboard scratches, and condensation in the headlights; Nextmove apparently gave […]
With the push in electrification and customers seeing the benefits of having a partially or fully electric powertrain, diesel manufacturers will have to adapt to these changing demands. It wasn’t too long ago that diesels were the clear choice for customers who wanted to pull heavy things while also getting reasonable fuel economy. Now, one […]
Chevrolet has joined Ram in having diesel engines; both are built in-house, but Ram chose a ZF eight-speed automatic, redesigned somewhat by Fiat Chrysler, while GM uses a ten-speed automatic which it developed with Ford. The two engines have around the same displacement, just under 3.0 liters, but the Chevrolet echos Ram’s big Cummins diesels by […]
