| December 11, 2024 | Hey everyone! Managing Editor Roger Biermann here from CarBuzz and this is your Wednesday automotive recap! |
This evening, we look at why GM is tired of spending billions of robotaxis, how EV batteries might last way longer than expected, Ford Mustang's new look for 2025, more automotive videos, and our latest editorials. |
After nearly 10 years and more than $10 billion, GM's foray into robotaxis appears dead. General Motors has pulled the plug on its little loved Cruise autonomous vehicle program in a sudden change of direction. |
Here are some other standout news stories of the day: |
The S650 gets new paint options, darker headlights, and more. |
Mercedes-Benz is in the middle of a massive round of updates, and we've spotted nearly all of them testing in the last few weeks. The latest is the so-called coupe version of the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, which has been spotted by our intrepid photographers on the road in Germany. |
New Automotive Editorials |
The automotive world is rapidly evolving, and unfortunately, it's leaving V8s in the past. The days of high-displacement, naturally aspirated (NA) V8 engines are numbered because they simply can't comply with the stringent emissions regulations governments are enacting worldwide, and while hybridization is giving them a stay of execution, it's not going to last forever. |
Ever look at a Subaru WRX and think "Awesome car, but what if it had just two wheels and no cabin?" Maybe not, but that's because you don't live in New Zealand, where there must be something about the scenery and the wide open highways that invites this kind of crazy engineering. |
Nürburgring lap times have always been a topic of debate and served as a performance yardstick for many automakers. At the upper echelons of the lap time leaderboard are several models that completed a lap in less than seven minutes. The Mercedes-AMG ONE is the quickest production car around the 'Ring, while the newest member of the club is the Mustang GTD. |
