Volkswagen Group on Thursday asked the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to reconsider a ruling that said two counties could seek potentially billions in financial penalties over excess diesel emissions.

Lexus’ LC is, without a doubt, the best-looking model in the brand’s range no matter if you go for the Coupe or the Convertible. Sure, the latter does come with a less stiff chassis and is a bit heavier, but if driving at the track is not your thing and live in a sunny place,

A ground-up rethink for Acura’s mid-size sedan was in order. The Acura TLX occupied the dwindling white space between mainstream and luxury—if there were one, to begin with. The 2021 Acura TLX that made its debut in May steers away from that middle ground and does it quickly. Although the new TLX still has one
Succinct as it is accurate, “It’s a Subaru” pretty well describes the 2021 Subaru Ascent three-row crossover SUV. All-wheel drive? Check. Horizontally opposed engine? Yup. Room for people and gear? Uh-huh. Hard-wearing interior? Sure. The 2021 Subaru Ascent soldiers into the new year with minimal changes on what’s been a reliable formula so far. The
Sonic Automotive Inc. plans to open at least three more standalone used-only EchoPark stores before year’s end and an additional four to six in 2021 as part of an expansion strategy that includes increasing e-commerce offerings.

Honda Motor Co. is requiring office employees to work the production line at its Marysville, Ohio, plant because of COVID-19-related worker shortages. Departments with affected employees include purchasing, accounting and quality. A Honda spokesperson told Automotive News in an emailed statement that COVID-19-related “precautions, combined with strong demand for our products, has created the need to ask
The Outback has inspired imitators, but none has ever come close to this wagon/quasi-SUV’s success. After a couple months with the 2020 Subaru Outback Onyx 2.4 XT we’re driving for a year, we have a better idea of how it compares to the midsize two-row SUVs it competes against. So how good is this SUV-ified
Technology certainly can change in a half-century. The process of erecting the convertible top of my 1959 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite starts with digging its folded steel tube frame out from behind the seats, spreading its fingerlike tubes, connecting all their ends together, gingerly cantilevering it across the cockpit, and then down into vertical slots on
With the Toyota Sienna and Chrysler Pacifica receiving major updates for the 2021 model year, Honda is not far behind with a makeover for the Odyssey minivan.

The latest drop in Lucid’s drip-drip prelude to its September 9th reveal of the slippery looking Air, its first model, is its driver assistance sensor suite. The moniker they’ve chosen for the comprehensive setup -which includes a monstrous 32-sensor count!—is “DreamDrive,” and it’s akin to Cadillac’s Super Cruise in that it promises a lot (Super! Dream!) while astutely
Satellite radio provider SiriusXM is upping its game with 360L, a new audio platform that focuses heavily on streaming content. The feature that first debuted on the 2019 Ram 1500 is now making its way to a variety of vehicles from many different automakers, and severs SiriusXM’s curated music channels from exclusive delivery via satellite
After undergoing a thorough refresh for the 2020 model year, the Lexus RX L crossover SUV enters the 2021 model year with minimal changes. Still, it’s not completely devoid of differences.

I hear the same thing over and over, all the time: “I’d like to get an electric motorbike, but they just cost so much more than gas motorbikes.” Well not anymore! Or at least not in the case of the BlackTea Moped, which is an urban electric motorbike that is priced on par with gas

PARIS/TOKYO — When the French part of the Renault-Nissan alliance reports its results on Thursday, investors expect confirmation of a harsh reality: automakers that already had weaknesses are having them mercilessly exposed by the pandemic.

A Lexus coupe or convertible might be the best way to take a hammer to that ginormous change jug or piggy bank you’ve had going since elementary school. An 84-month loan would be OK, too, we guess. For less than $100,000, the 2021 Lexus LC has all the standard touches expected from a car that
Pent-up demand from coronavirus lockdowns has brought car and truck buyers back to the market, but once there, they may see little wiggle room on price. With limited inventory, dealers are often taking top dollar for the vehicles they do have. For several weeks, the average industry gross, or the gross profit dealers get on
Bulls turning against Tesla? Say what? That’s precisely what we see in this video here, although these are real bulls, not those stock bulls.
