Volkswagen is in the midst of major restructuring to help it deal with strong competition from Chinese brands, the need to continue investing in EVs and software, not to mention US tariffs. And the latest victim of this effort is one of the oldest auto manufacturing plants in the world. In an announcement this week, VW confirmed that the plant in Osnabrück, Germany, would be sold, though not to another automaker but to Aurelius Capital, an Israeli investment firm that specializes in defense production. Some measure of automobile construction has occurred there for 125 years. From Convertibles To Combat Systems…

Automotive Ford may have unintentionally offered one of the first glimpses at what the next-generation Bronco could look like. Car and Driver spotted a pair of Ford patent filings featuring detailed drawings of an unnamed, boxy SUV that bears more than a passing resemblance to the current Bronco. While patent drawings are never a guarantee of future production plans, the timing is certainly interesting. The next Bronco is expected to arrive around 2030, with production potentially beginning in late 2029, making these illustrations particularly intriguing for anyone wondering where Ford plans to take its reborn off-road icon. The…

The free update arrives today. Mario Kart World is getting a free update today that adds several retro courses pulled from the SNES original. These include classics like Choco Island, Mario Circuit and Ghost Valley, among others. All told, there are ten newly-uploaded courses to race on, which will be available in Versus mode. There are two neat things here. The courses were already hiding in plain sight within the open game world. However, they only offered exploration rewards and timed P-Switch missions. Now they are actual tracks to race on. They also feature question blocks that appear flat on the…

Amid a flurry of cost-cutting measures, Volkswagen is reportedly considering getting rid of one of its niche performance marques. This time, it’s Ducati that’s being considered for liquidation, which would give both VW and Audi – the brand under which the Italian motorcycle manufacturer is nested – some financial breathing room. Like many other brands, Ducati has faced some financial challenges in the last few years, although the company did see profits in 2024 and 2025. But given how aggressively Volkswagen is pursuing cost reduction, that may not be enough to keep ownership of the motorcycle manufacturer from changing hands…

There’s no shortage of used car lots along the Tamiami Trail. So when a Sarasota resident types “used cars for sale in Sarasota” into Google and gets a page full of options, the real question isn’t where to find a car; it’s who to trust with the purchase. That’s a fair question. Buying a used car is one of the larger financial decisions most people make, and doing it at the wrong dealership- one that buries fees, sells unreliable vehicles, or disappears the moment something goes wrong- can cost thousands and leave you stranded. Sarasota Car Sales has been serving…

The impending arrival of the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and its GMC Sierra fraternal twin are the biggest news at General Motors right now, but their heavy-duty siblings might steal some of the spotlight if recent reports – allegedly from within GM – are to be believed. The Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD, as well as their respective Sierra equivalents, are slated to get two new engines for the 2027 model year. Notably, these new powertrains seemingly will arrive during the heavy-duty trucks’ current generation, rather than waiting a couple years for the redesign. That practice isn’t new at GM, and…
