Of the Detroit Three automakers, Stellantis has endured far more turmoil and management upheaval than its two cross-town rivals over the past 35 years. What was Chrysler Corporation back then became DaimlerChrysler in 1998 through a $36 billion “merger of equals” that ultimately saw the German side more equal than the American. Stellantis headquarters and tech center in Michigan celebrating 30th anniversaryStellantis Cerberus Capital Management took control of Chrysler for two dark years that ended with the automaker in bankruptcy court in 2009, opening the door to Fiat gradually acquiring equity in the beleaguered automaker until full control was achieved…

The biggest car news and reviews, no BS Our free daily newsletter sends the stories that really matter directly to you, every weekday. The Isuzu Vehicross deserves more love. Beneath its wacky styling, it’s a genuinely good off-roader with hardware that would still be considered impressive on a modern SUV. It was a sales flop back in the day, but that means it’s rare and perfect for anyone daring to be different. And as this build shows, there’s plenty of potential for modification. Currently listed on Bring a Trailer, this 1999 model is about as good as a Vehicross build…

I reluctantly upgraded from my Pixel 4a in late 2024, which means I spent four years clinging to a phone that still felt like a phone. Part of that was the size. The Pixel 4a was small enough to use without performing thumb yoga, a disappearing luxury now that flagships have settled into pocket-tablet territory. That’s an argument for another day. The uglier issue is what happened after I moved on. In January 2025, Google pushed an automatic Android 13 update to Pixel 4a phones. Google’s own support page says the update reduced available battery capacity and affected charging performance…

The biggest car news and reviews, no BS Our free daily newsletter sends the stories that really matter directly to you, every weekday. If you’ve ever driven an under-damped car down a rough road and felt vibrations that seemed powerful enough to dislodge organs, you know that things aren’t any easier for the car. The same forces acting on your body are acting on every nut and bolt, causing them to loosen and—if you’re driving fast enough—leading to a very bad day. Frog Racing, an amateur rally team based in Western Massachusetts, had one of those bad days when the…

Not everyone has the money to buy a car outright — and that’s where financing comes in. Usually, you’d pay a small amount of interest on top of the total price of the car, but some automakers write off this APR percentage to make getting your hands on a new car even more desirable. Current car loan rates sit at around 7%, and with car prices skyrocketing every year, it’s great to see that some car manufacturers are still offering these deals. Financing a car means you take out a loan that’s calculated based on your individual profile, and after…

It probably wasn’t the outcome that Paolo Cantarella had banked on.Back in 1991, Fiat Auto’s car enthusiast boss launched a design competition especially for Italian coachbuilders. The idea was that they would produce an assortment of concept cars based on the then new Fiat Cinquecento, the neatly squared-off version released that year.

Not all drivers appreciate the sight of a police car behind them, but at least these will get your attention for the right reasons… Imagine how much more interesting it would be if the roads were patrolled by Porsche 911s, or Audi R8s, or Honda NSXs? Or a hot-hatchback like the Ford Escort RS Cosworth, pictured, which saw service in the UK? Well, the police in one part of the world or other have used all these cars, and a whole lot more, so take a look at these: 53: BMW i3 (USA) Compact, agile and very eco, the BMW i3 has been adopted…
