Is The Upcoming Baby Jeep Going To Be Fully Electric?

Jeep’s head of design had previously confirmed that there’s room for the off-road-oriented brand to offer something smaller than the Renegade. Now, according to reports, that smaller SUV could be an all-electric model, depending on when it’s introduced. 

Chevrolet Camaro To Be Replaced By A Performance Electric Sedan In 2024, Claims Report

In news that’s bound to cause a furore, a report has claimed that the existing Camaro and Malibu will not be replaced by an ICE version, and will instead be dropped in favor of an all-new electric sedan. While we already know that GM will go all-electric by 2035, potentially dropping the Camaro nameplate, or transitioning it to a sedan would be a step away from tradition — if not entirely unprecedented.

Does New 2022 Subaru WRX Teaser Prove Its Turned Into A Crossover Sedan?

Yes, it’s a controversial news day. In another legacy-bending story, Subaru’s latest WRX teaser could indicate that their upcoming WRX is a morphed crossover sedan. In images captured from the short video, you can see black cladding reminiscent of something along the lines of an Outback. While a raised WRX wouldn’t be the worst thing considering all that rally success behind it, it would be a bit of a departure.

Stellantis Announces They Will Be Forming Their Own Design Studio

The newly-formed Stellantis design studio will build upon the Peugeot Design Lab, but not replace it. Instead, the new venture won’t just focus on automotive but will look at everything from transportation, to industrial, to manufacturing, and more.

Ford Unveils One-Off Mustang Mach-E In Honor Of WWII Female Pilots

This black, silver and yellow Mustang Mach E is a one-off tribute to the volunteer female pilots who flew in World War II. This unique creation will be auctioned off on Thursday, the proceeds of which will support the EAA’s initiative to provide young women and underserved youths with improved access to a career in the aviation industry. It represents the largely overlooked sacrifices that these female pilots made, the likes of which wouldn’t be recognized as military personnel until more than three decades after the war ended.

The first Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 has been delivered, and it draws inspiration from the Sián FKP 37. It’s a joint project between Tecnomar and the Italian supercar manufacturer. Naturally, it’s powered by two V12 engines with a combined output of 3,945 hp (2,942 kW / 4,000 PS).

GM Drops Second-Row Heated Seats In Some Sierra/Silverado Pickups

The chip crisis continues to come for your luxuries, as production needs outweigh what some may deem frivolous options. In this case, it’s the second-row heated seats as found in some Sierra and Silverado pickup trucks. It’s not the first time the chip crisis has led to options being left off the spec sheet, as earlier this year GM shipped some trucks without their Active Fuel Management system.

Car Hauler From Hell Drops Mercedes And Then Crashes It Into A Dodge Challenger

It’s hard not to get mad at this one. Aptly posted in r/IdiotsInCars, a car hauler first drops a Mercedes-Benz CL as the improperly secured ramp gives way. In the spirit of powering through adversity, he then floors it… straight into the back of a Dodge Challenger that was already parked on the car carrier. Although it happened at low speed, we can’t imagine anyone’s going to be too thrilled at the actions of this haulage firm, especially when they see the video.

Man Who Tried To “Walk On Water” Washes Up In Florida  

A man who was trying to walk from Florida to New York on water has washed up, just 30 miles south of his starting point. Reza Baluchi was aiming to walk 1,000 miles for charity.
