It’s time to look under the hood of auto repair shops across Canada, and who better to ask for an inspection than those at the front desk and fixing vehicles. The CARS magazine Service Advisor and Technician Survey heard from service professionals about pressing issues, their work environment, challenges and what’s working well in their day-to-day jobs. They shared what brings them joy and what frustrates them. It’s an exclusive look into what’s on their minds, bringing shop owners their views on how to shape business better. Building trust isn’t just something you do with customers. As shop owner Erin…

Since the pandemic, the U.S. has been working to bolster its industrial backbone while simultaneously investing in the future of transportation. It was the promise of “Made in America 2.0,” and the Koreans were one of the first to buy in. Things became a bit more messy in the current political climate. And when a huge immigration raid on Hyundai’s latest plant in Georgia made international news, it morphed into a diplomatic nightmare. The current administration has since backed down and invited workers back into the States. There’s just one problem—workers may no longer want to come back. The EV…

Possesses The Soul Of A Sports Car Slap an RS badge on an Audi, and it has to live up to a higher standard. During development, RS models have to endure 8,000 kilometers (almost 5,000 miles) of testing on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. That’s a lot of stress on tires, brakes, and cooling systems, especially for a heavy SUV, but that’s what you get with the 2025 Audi RS Q8 Performance. It’s a crossover SUV with the soul of a sports car. The RS Q8 Performance is a crossover coupe in the mold of the BMW X6 M, an with the…

Porsche’s struggles in 2025 are no secret. In July, outgoing CEO Oliver Blume acknowledged that the company is facing significant challenges amid the global EV downturn. Shipments fell by six percent in the first half of the year, prompting the German automaker to announce plans to cut up to 1,900 jobs by 2029. Those struggles are well-reflected in the company’s recent financial statements. Porsche’s latest forecasts show that operating profits have plummeted 99 percent compared to last year, with just €40 million reported through the first three quarters of 2025—down sharply from €403.5 million reported during the same period in…

Alpine is preparing to build the final units of the A110 before its electric successor is launched next year.  “Collectors take note!” says the French sports car brand in a notice to “Alpine enthusiasts and lovers of motoring excellence” that states it will build just 1750 more examples of the standard A110 and another 50 units of the hardcore A110 R. That will take its Dieppe plant up to the middle of 2026, when production will cease in preparation for the firm to start building the electric next-generation A110 – the first car to use the new Alpine Performance Platform.  Order books remain…

Disarmingly the electric portion of the powertain is the first taste of the Speciale you get. Started up in Hybrid mode, it pulls off the mark under electric power alone. This car’s namesake – the legendarily brash 458 Speciale – was somewhat otherwise inclined, but in truth it’s nice to have a fire-breathing Ferrari that can slink away without fanfare, if you would prefer. Anybody who wants start-up drama need only select Performance mode on the e-manettino then hit the haptic engine-start button. In the pit at Fiorano, with a hot titanium exhaust, the resulting crackle-bang can be deafening. The…
