1 week ago | carbuzz.com | Evan Williams

Its small lineup probably played a big part in luxury car maker Genesis' plans to move fully electric instead of making a stop in hybridville in the middle. But the Korean automaker's plan to launch only EVs from 2025 hasn't panned out, and so starting late last year, reports started to come out saying Genesis was working on alternatives. First, an extended-range hybrid, and later reports of more conventional hybrid models.

Massive demand for the Toyota GR Corolla in the few markets where it is sold now, like the US, has Toyota keen on expanding in a big way.

1 week ago | carbuzz.com | Evan Williams

The Lexus IS 500 has reached its, um, peak. The V8-powered sport compact with luxury trappings has been one of the coolest cars that Lexus has sold since it launched in 2021, and now the 500, and the IS as we know it, could be coming to an end. That means special edition models, including the IS 500 Ultimate Edition sold in the US. Japan, though, is getting its own special edition.

It changed the direction of his fledgling startup company, Writing.io, which up until then he envisioned as a publishing platform. “I remember using (the 2022 AI model),” said Fleming, Writing.io’s founder and CEO. “And it was one of those things where you go home on Friday working on one thing and you start work again on Monday and you have a totally different plan or outlook for the company.

1 week ago | carbuzz.com | Evan Williams

A classic Land Rover Defender sounds like a great idea until you're faced with the realities of this tractor for the road. Ergonomics, designed for the army, a series of gas and diesel engines that produce more noise and smoke than they do forward motion. It's no wonder that a growing number of companies are transforming them into something a little more pleasant. Even JLR itself has gotten on board.

1 week ago | carbuzz.com | Evan Williams

Electric car sales might not quite be taking off as planned, but Volkswagen might be the next one to help light the fuse.
