Ford Motor announced Wednesday that it’s killing sedans from its U.S. dealerships, exception making only its legendary Mustang. By saying good buy to Focus, Fusion, Fiesta, and Taurus, it will double down on trucks and sports utilities. The Focus nameplate will stick around, only in the form of a crossover utility. Ford is not alone, though. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already cut the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200, focusing on more profitable Jeep SUVs and Ram pickups. General Motors has been reducing its sedan production, also, cutting back on its Cruze compact production. C...
Guangzhou Automotive Group is considering renaming its Trumpchi brand before it starts to sell cars in America in 2019. The reason is obvious, as the brand name GAC Motor has chosen doesn't necessarily sit well with all prospective customers.

Legendary consumer safety advocate Ralph Nader said that the cars are much safer, less polluting, modestly f...
Italian company Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera will celebrate its 90th birthday by introducing a new model during the Geneva Auto Show. It’s an Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione underneath the skin, and only seven will be built—they did something similar a few years back with the Disco Volante coupe, and now it loses a roof.Design-wise, it looks similar to the coupe version we saw in 2013. The inspiration comes from the legendary 1952 Alfa Romeo C52, and it keeps the "flying saucer" look alive. The two-piece removable hardtop was made with the help of Alfa Romeo, who learned a...
Audi CEO Rupert Stadler confirmed at the Detroit Motor Show that the Audi automaker had finally persuaded FCA to release the two names that would let Audi lock up the Q1 to Q9 badges for its growing SUV family, but not the Q2 and Q4 ones, which were in Fiat Chrysler's possession. "We tried to get it years ago and they said 'No, never,' but there is never 'never' in business," said Audi chief Rupert Stadler. "This year I went back to them with a proposal and we talked and there were some negotiations and then we agreed to it."Audi has used Italian na...
