In the world of mega-billionaires, nothing says "I'm better than you" to a rival like launching a new company on their turf and doing a better job than them. That's what Jeff Bezos, the world's third-richest person, is hoping to do to Elon Musk, not with his phallus-shaped rockets filled with pop stars, but with his backing of a new American automotive EV startup called Slate Auto.

Throughout the decades of its existence, BMW has gone through everything from tumultuous times to raging success. Since 1927, when it released its first car – the 3/15 sedan – BMW has gone on to produce hundreds of model variants. So to choose just ten was quite the task. But we've braved it through the night to find ten of the most iconic and influential BMWs to have ever roamed the streets.

For a brand that consistently punches above its weight, Mazda has long held the sweet spot between affordability and engagement. I’ve driven most models in the Mazda stable recently. The CX-5 is a great family SUV, fun from behind the wheel and easy on the eye, while the forbidden-fruit CX-60 almost broaches luxury territory for a price tag your bank manager would approve of.

Last year, we labeled the Toyota Camry the most important vehicle in the world; if a nameplate like the Camry could pivot to become hybrid-only, it was a sign that hybrid was officially mainstream. But now it's Lexus's turn to have a Camry moment, and with the reveal of the 2026 Lexus ES, it's done just that. In case you missed it, the ES is no longer the visual automotive equivalent of a muffin top - the old one always looked awkwardly pudgy - it's now a real looker, at least to my eye.

Out of nowhere, Nissan has lifted the wraps on an all-new Frontier pickup truck at the Shanghai Auto Show (Auto Shanghai 2025). The fact that there's a new-gen Frontier - called the Frontier Pro - isn't all that major, but the big deal is that this is a plug-in hybrid truck, something we feel Nissan desperately needs to bring to the USA. But revealing the truck in China and choosing to launch it in the Chinese market first suggests it might not reach the US.

If you religiously follow the latest car news, you may have come across something called the Carolina Squat. It's a style of modified truck that made news across the United States over the last couple of years after several states banned vehicle owners from making the mod, which can be seen as a type of stance for trucks. It popped up in the news again recently after Arkansas became the latest state to ban the trend.

Tariffs are nothing new to the automotive landscape, especially in America, where things like the Chicken Tax have greatly influenced our automotive landscape to drive the local manufacturing of trucks and vans. In a similar vein, incentives, like the EV incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), have had a significant impact on US production, driving investment announcements as automakers tried to cement their footing in the world's second-largest automotive economy.

There's been a lot of hate for the forthcoming 2026 Honda Prelude, which will be fully revealed later this year. Some of it has been justified, but there's one area that perhaps we and the rest of the internet have been overly critical of: the e-CVT transmission Honda's giving it. I'll admit, we at CarBuzz have been referring to the transmission in the same way Honda does, calling it an e-CVT, but, here's the thing, it's not actually a CVT at all.

Tesla has quietly removed an optional battery pack designed to boost the Cybertruck's range from its online configurator, raising questions about the accessory's future. The $16,000 add-on aimed to address criticism that the electric pickup's real-world driving distance fell short of initial promises. Its sudden disappearance leaves potential buyers wondering if the delayed accessory will ever be available.
