Mercedes-Benz PHEVs showed minimal degradation over time, while Mitsubishis didn't fare nearly as well, according to a study.

lol 😂

Checking out the new 2027 Kia Telluride at the Design Preview. What do you think 🫶 or 😡? #kiatelluride #cardujour youtu.be/VYCbXgrn6ws

Used Lexus LCs Are Finally Starting To Show Up For Less Than $50,000

Stellantis said it is recalling 375,000 plug-in hybrid Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee SUVs worldwide over battery failure after 19 reports of fires, and urged owners to park outdoors until a fix is completed. https://cnn.it/47KZmhR

Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe shut down the idea that the EV startup will make a hybrid like the Scout SUV or Ram 1500 REV.

I want to go to here!!

I drove the Polestar 4 back in July, and I can finally share my thoughts. #cardujour youtu.be/7s9dhrG4VxE

Road trip review time! I've already done a first look and tech check on the 2026 Genesis GV70, so how does it do on a road trip? And did it even get close to the EPA estimated fuel economy??? Watch and find out. #cardujour #genesisgv70 youtu.be/1ZThNcqHrvE

When I was on the BOD for Chicago Area Runners Association, I was proud of the work we did in underserved communities. We created safe spaces for ALL runners. The fact CARA had to issue a statement like this hurts my soul. Running unites when the world is divided. www.cararuns.org/post/stateme...

I’m still holding out that GM will realize the error of its ways.

In Chicago: “Agents are using facial recognition technology on cell phones to scan the faces of random people.”

2027 Kia telluride coming soon… Here’s a sneak peek. Loving this camouflage! #cardujour youtube.com/shorts/1h2T2...

I spy with my little eye… first Lucid Gravity in the wild. Now if they would only hit the press fleet. #carspotter

Fine. @carguytom.bsky.social was right. #carstuffpodcast

I think the Ariya is one of the best EVs out there, but Nissan did a really shit job of promoting it. So, frankly this doesn’t surprise me. But I’m sad to see it. www.autonews.com/nissan/an-ni...

Just posted a tech check of the Mercedes-Benz EQE Sedan, and it's a lot. It's a lot, a lot. #cardujour youtu.be/3FqC1ee88Fs

I never thought that full-size electric trucks were the way forward. So, this doesn’t surprise me. I’ll be curious to see if automakers go for compact or midsize electric trucks, though. I think that would be a good idea. www.autonews.com/stellantis/a...

Took a road trip in the 2025 @VW Tiguan, looking at MPGs and comfort. Here's how it did. #cardujour youtu.be/NwGXjd2Hq3M

To Chicago peeps w/ teens. Saw this notification from Tire Rack about a "Street Survival" teen driving program in Joliet on Sept 13. These programs are INVALUABLE for young drivers. Below is the link for registration. Plus, there are schools in other states! www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/ev...

On my trek out west last weekend, I came across this vintage Scout II #carspotter

Checking out the Acura ADX today. I like it a lot, and it's great for petite drivers, but there are a couple things that could be dealbreakers. #cardujour youtu.be/VLyUPcUC0GU

Hey @carguytom.bsky.social … Found a #carspotter in my gym parking lot today. Met the owner, and he said he does all the work himself. 🫶

blog.consumerguide.com/consumer-gui... Great episode this week! Thanks to Robert Colangelo of the Green Sense Show for joining us this week. #Podcast #Rivian #Lucid #AcuraADX, @jillciminillo.bsky.social

Check it out! My first review with GreenCars.com is on the Cadillac Optiq. There's a lot to like here, but the one miss for me is the lack of Apple CarPlay. #cardujour www.greencars.com/expert-insig...

So. I was in NYC last week to see a thing. This is that thing: The 2026 Subaru of America, Inc. Uncharted. My question: What's the plural? #cardujour #subaruuncharted #nactoy #WWCOTY youtu.be/PDoWNkO21-g?...

🤦🏻‍♀️ thank you!!!

@jillciminillo.bsky.social Ni Hao is Mandarin for hello, Konichiwa is Japanese.

Time spent with the Polestar 4. Can’t share driving impressions until October, but other than that, let me know if you have questions or photo requests.

Google built-in is a really good system. But until it can easily integrate Apple Music, Apple podcasts, past voicemail messages and voice-to-text messaging, this is not a system I could live with. Easy is the key word. “Hey Siri” isnt a failsafe solution. youtu.be/fCLlpd0OWj8?...

I thought this was an interesting look at how the new bill will affect people personally with their finances. I’m making this a gift article so you can take the quiz, too.

Isn’t that a Hatch Act vio.. ah fuck it. Never mind.

Measles is a highly infectious virus, and summer travel raises fears that it will spread. Here’s how to protect yourself and your family.

"On behalf of all those around the world who have already worked so long + spent so much money trying to develop what may one day be a truly life-altering technology: 'God, help #Tesla not to *%$! it up for everyone else.' " Larry Vellequette, Automotive News: always an astute reporter-commentator.

Agreed!

I always geek out over the AMI. Thanks to the folks at Cars dot com for putting in the legwork. And I know it's a lot of legwork. Looking at the trucks: We have a new top dog! Honda Ridgeline loses its most-American truck status. #TruckTalk pickuptrucktalk.com/2025/06/amer...
