California Wants To Force You To Own an EV, but When It Chose a Special New Police Vehicle For the California Highway Patrol, It Chose A Big Honkin’ Gas-Gulper

5 days ago | torquenews.com | John Goreham

Raise your hand if you are surprised by the hypocrisy, but when the Golden State chose its newest special undercover California Highway Patrol Cruiser, it picked a huge three-row gas-guzzling SUV, not a battery-electric vehicle. "Do as we say, not as we do." That seems to be the government of California’s mantra.
Here’s Why I Think the 2025 BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupe Is a Real Sports Sedan in a World of Pretenders and Should Be on Your Consideration List if You Value Driving Pleasure

1 week ago | torquenews.com | John Goreham

We explain why the BMW M235 is a great sports sedan and why all shoppers should be cross-shopping against all other considerations. If you want a real sports sedan in 2025, your options are limited. There’s that awesome one with the CVT. Oops. CVT! Off the list. No real driver wants a CVT. Then there are those electric ones that weigh a thousand pounds more than any car in their segment. Off the list. Cornering and stopping matter to real drivers.
I’m a Very Skeptical Bronco Sport Badlands Owner, and When I Went To Look at the New 2025 Sasquatch Edition, I Came Away With Some Strong Opinions About What Ford Did to This Great Vehicle

1 week ago | torquenews.com | John Goreham

Sure, the Sasquatch edition of the Bronco Sport Badlands sounds good on paper, but what about when you see it in person? Did Ford do right by fans and owners, or is this all smoke and mirrors? When Ford dropped the new Sasquatch edition of the Bronco Sport Badlands and Outer Banks trims, I was expecting it to be off the leash. Crazy big tires, more power, more rear-biased power distribution, perhaps a lift kit to take the Bronco Sport to 10 inches of minimum ground clearance.
Following a Mixed Q1, Many Automakers Seeing Plunging EV Deliveries In the U.S. Market In the First Month of Q2 - Have We Seen a Tipping Point?

1 week ago | torquenews.com | John Goreham

Overall vehicle deliveries were way up in Q1, and EV proponents saw good news in the fact that more EVs were delivered than in Q1 2024. However, the EV market share for the last half of 2024 was about 8.7%, and in the first quarter of 2025, EV market share dropped to just 7.5%, barely more than in Q1 2023. This quarter helped make clear that EV market share in America had plateaued about 27 months ago. So how did April turn out?
EV Inflection Point - BMW, Hummer, Chevrolet, and GMC, Are the Latest Brands to Pause, Reduce, or Stop Electric Vehicle Production as the Industry Slowly Admits that EV Market Share Stalled In the U.S. 27 Months Ago

During 2024, Tesla, Ford, and Volkswagen all paused production of some EV models to let inventory stabilize. The problems that led each of these automakers to that point vary, but the reduction of inventory of the Cybertruck, F-150 Lightning, and ID.4 was helpful in preventing lots from being jammed with new and unsold vehicles. Torque News recently observed this happening at a Subaru dealership in Metro Boston. We were there to buy a Crosstrek Wilderness and saw a long row of unsold Solteras.
I thought Nissan Rogue’s ProPilot 2.1 Hands-Free Driving Would Be a Gimmick, but Then I Found Out How Wrong I Was When I Tried This

If I’m being honest, I want a fully self-driving car about as much as I want a fully self-eating sandwich. Not much at all. I’m no Luddite. Quite the opposite. In my own vehicles and all the vehicles I test, I employ all the driver assistant tools available to me. But there’s a line, right? Maybe not.
The Amount of Angry Looks, Middle Fingers, and People That Yell At Me While I Drive My Tesla Cybertruck Is Absolutely Insane, And the People That Are Mad At Me Are the Same Ones That Just a Year Ago Were Telling Everybody to Buy EVs To Save the Planet

2 weeks ago | torquenews.com | John Goreham

We paraphrase Tesla Cybertruck Owner JF, who is confounded by the fact that the people going crazy about his choice of vehicle are the same ones who previously looked down their noses at anyone who didn’t drive an EV. This week, we found a heartbreaking post on TikTok from a Tesla Cybertruck owner. He is dismayed that whenever he drives in his Cybertruck, people hurl expletives, swerve into his lane, and act aggressively toward him.
I Thought That Nothing Could Rival the Honda Civic Sedan at Its Price Point, But Then I Tested the New 2025 Kia K4 GT-Line, and Have Discovered a Great New Option For Buyers To Consider

2 weeks ago | torquenews.com | John Goreham

I’m not going to sugarcoat this. Having tested the 2025 Honda Civic, I feel that it is almost unbeatable. Particularly the hatchback versions. So, when Kia sent us a new K4 to test, that clouded our judgment a bit. How could Kia possibly match or top that new Civic? Well, they have, and depending on your priorities, the K4 may even be a better option. In this unconventional review, we’ll focus on the things that differentiate these two great vehicles. Kia K4 vs.

It would be easy to assume that China has been overtaken by battery-electric vehicles, but the truth is that the vast majority of new car buyers in China opt not to get one. We’ll provide the analysis and source links. You provide the conclusion. If you follow automotive “news,” you are sure to see amazing battery-electric vehicle headlines on a daily basis.
My Electric Vehicle Is Burning Through Tires At a Rate of One Set Per Year In Under 20,000 Miles, Even Though the Last Ones I Bought Had a 75,000-mile Warranty, and the Shop Is Refusing to Honor the Warranty Because It’s a Tesla Model Y

3 weeks ago | torquenews.com | John Goreham

Many electric vehicle owners, including Tesla owners, are struggling with rapid tire wear, while others seem to have tires last over 40,000 miles. Interestingly, the critical reasons for the rapid wear are not always linked to aggressive driving habits, and many of the owners who report the rapid tire wear do not own Performance trims. Let’s examine the issue of rapid EV tire wear in detail and learn from some owners who have seemingly overcome this challenge.

Instead of an EV built in its own state, California opted to buy gas-gulping V8s from a Dutch-owned brand. You can't make this stuff up. https://t.co/5Xcan0DsBy https://t.co/YsRlM2nWyY
