Hyundai Gives the Tucson a Tough New Look for 2027 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At a “World Premiere” event in Long Island City, New York, October 1, Hyundai staged the global debut of the 2027 Tucson compact crossover SUV, a complete makeover of the model. Much is at stake: The Tucson is the Korean automaker’s volume car in the US, with 234,230 sales in 2025. In all its versions (including Chinese iterations), it’s the company’s global SUV leader, with more than 11 million cumulative sales since the launch in 2004. Approximately 20 percent of those transactions were in the
Bosch Says the Truck of the Future Isn’t Electric—It’s Hybrid (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Until recently, ask any automaker or supplier about the “Truck of the Future,” and they’d describe a battery EV. These days, they’re not so sure. At Mobility Experience Days at the 325-acre Flat Rock Proving Grounds in Michigan on September 22, Paul Thomas, president and CEO of Bosch in North America and president of Bosch Mobility, Americas, used the analogy of a multi-lane highway.

And that’s just the start when it comes to a rising cost of car ownership, largely caused by inflation and the Iran war. At a Cleveland shop, Terry’s North Coast Auto Re

Read excerpt
Venture capitalist Peter Thiel famously said, “We were promised flying cars, but all we got is 140 characters,” referring to the length of a tweet. It’s true that big industrial companies like General Electric started seeing themselves as “digital” innovators tied in to the “Internet of Things,” and stopped delivering hardware with heart-stopping technical breakthroughs. And Ford started seeing its business as delivering transportation via online demand, rather than offering cutting-edge vehicle
The Most Googled Car in Every State (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Ford F-150 is still the best-selling vehicle in the US, and has been for many years, but it doesn’t win the “Most Googled” award, state-by-state. Believe it or not, the Honda Civic leads over any other model, ranking first in 15 of the 50, among them Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Connecticut, Wisconsin, and Virginia. The research, based on Google Keyword Planner data and 175 auto-related keywords across 50 states, was done by Car Mats Customs. The data was collected in Au
