Thank the just-announced Silverado EV. Wall Street responded in kind hours after General Motors announced plans to launch an all-electric version of the long-popular and long-running Chevrolet Silverado full-size truck. The automakers stock was up by 1.5 percent at the end of the trading day Tuesday, closing at $61.94 a share. Thats a new closing record. Earlier in the day, the stock reached an all-time high of $63.44, according to CNBC. Not bad for an automaker that emerged from bankruptcy jus...

Polestar Lets start with the metals. Steel is good, and we use a lot of it, about 2,000 pounds per vehicle on average. On the sustainability scale, steel scores high. Its continuously recyclable and has lower CO2 lifecycle emissions than many other automotive materials. The problem is the industry. More than 2,000 million tons of iron ore is mined a year, most of which is used for steel. The mining of ore causes air pollution in the form of nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, an...

Why did it take so long? No automaker is perfect, though some so-called Tesla fanboys will wholeheartedly disagree. Mistakes happen and its up to that company to rectify them in a timely manner. Unfortunately, its taken Tesla far too long to settle the little matter of double charging several customers. The fiasco began earlier this year when CNBC uncovered far too many instances where buyers, many of whom purchased a new Tesla Model Y, were charged twice for their purchases without notice or a...

2021 G80 Sedan Exterior Not everyone will love the newest G80s enormous Crest grille, but it does a great job of endowing this mid-size sedan with some real presence. Employing the Genesis brands Athletic Elegance design philosophy, the G80 appears to have an Audi A7-like liftback design, but theres actually a traditional trunk lid back there. Details like the split headlights and lots of shiny chrome further help the G80 stand out from the crowd. As standard, the G80 gets LED exterior lighting...

Buyers didnt hesitate. It should as no surprise the just-revealed 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV Edition 1 would be an instant hit. GMC requesting at least $105,595 (or $110,595 with the Extreme Off-Road Package) did nothing to stop buyers from opening their wallets. Like the Hummer EV Edition 1 truck last October, not only has the SUV variant sold out, but it did so in less than an hour. GMC spokesperson Mikhael Farah has confirmed to CarBuzz "that all Hummer EV SUV Edition 1 reservations were filled....

How to have fun on a smaller budget. Following the reveal of the newly-named 2022 Toyota GR 86, weve now seen both halves of the highly-anticipated Toyota-Subaru follow-up partnership. These two great Japanese automakers previously worked together on two sports cars that would later be nicknamed the "Toyobaru twins." Along with the 2022 Subaru BRZ, the GR 86 enters its second generation with new styling, an improved interior, and most importantly, more power under the hood. Both models utilize ...

If another person isnt watching, your Tesla probably is. Having "eyes on the back of ones head" is an adage that now appropriately applies to the modern vehicle. The obligatory rearview camera was just the beginning; now, many vehicles have dashcams and multiple, 360-degree camera systems that allow us to capture reckless drivers and add credibility to insurance claims. The latest instance of a vehicle camera proving useful involved a stationary Tesla. In the short video below, a would-be thief...

Some M enthusiasts, however, wont be happy. Its been quite some time since weve heard anything regarding the rumored BMW M4 Gran Coupe. The regular M3 and M4 have arrived and the convertible variant of the latter is due shortly. But the M4 Gran Coupe is a different matter. Almost exactly a year ago, we reported BMW decided to proceed with production in order to have a response to the Audi RS5 Sportback. But the world has changed dramatically since then. Bimmer Today was told by M project manage...

Macho, Iconic Styling Its been over a decade since the Hummer name graced the front of a new SUV, but the macho styling seems to integrate well with a modern design aesthetic. The iconic Hummer grille has been modernized for a new decade and now features an integrated headlight bar. Other signature Hummer touches include H2 hommage wheels, optional tow hooks, a square body shape, and a mounted spare tire in the back. GMC even added new features such as the Infinity Roof with removable Sky Panel...
