Coming Summer of 2026, Mitsubishi will bring its first new model in 7 years to the U.S. and Canadian markets, an as-yet-unnamed sub-compact electric crossover coupe based on the coming third generation Nissan Leaf. The new model is the first of 4 new or updated models Mitsubishi plans to release from 2026 to 2030. Current plans are for the model to be built in Japan, risking tariffs and loss of EV tax credits.

Next Generation Jeep Compass Unveiled in Italy
At a press conference today, Stellantis unveiled the third-generation Jeep Compass. This version for Europe is expected to be close to the version we will see in North America with some tweaks to the powertrain and lighting options. The Compass' direction in North America has been in flux after the sudden departure of former Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares in December of 2024. More on that later. While the new Compass cuts a familiar shape with the present model, it is built on an entirely
Tariff Tuesday - Manufacturers are Shuffling the Deck
Tariff Tuesday is the day where we cover how President Trump’s tariffs, if fully enacted, will impact the auto industry, increase costs, and limit consumer choice.

GMC News: 2026 GMC Denali Ultimate Acadia, A GMC First
With all the craziness currently in failed leadership, I wonder if GM will really do hybrids or if they will just wait it out with what they have in V8, Turbo 4's and EVs. Interesting times for sure.

GMC News: 2026 GMC Denali Ultimate Acadia, A GMC First
Just another lease appliance CUV...take off the GMC badging, it could be anything...probably starts at $60k, since the '25 Denali version starts at $54k. I can't believe that much money and it's a frickin' 4 cyl. A supposedly 'premium' vehicle with an econobox powertrain....(I'll admit I loathe 4 cylinders...) -
