Only a handful of vehicles in automotive history are so distinctive that they spawn a lifestyle and have a following. There may be no better example than the Jeep Wrangler. Once a year, Jeep invites fans to gather in Moab, Utah, for an off-road festival celebrating the Wrangler, its Gladiator pickup offshoot, and other Jeep off-roaders. They flock into the desert mecca in Jeeps of every vintage, ready to hit the trails. They’re in Moab this week.

Last year, four of America’s top 10 best-selling vehicles — and the two best-selling overall — were full-size trucks. Those four models alone sold more than 2 million units.

A compact SUV is all the car many people need. Today’s compact crossovers are filled with technology found in luxury cars just a few years ago. They offer as much passenger and cargo space as many midsize cars, along with optional all-wheel drive (AWD). The Kia Sportage was fully redesigned just two years ago and is one of the best offerings in the class. The Nissan Rogue got an update just last year and debuts the adventurous Rock Creek edition for 2025.

New car prices held steady in March compared with the previous month and year, but that’s soon to change. Used car prices were up slightly from the month earlier but down from last year. Tariffs will radically change prices over the next few months. Consider this the relative calm before the storm as car prices for new and used vehicles held steady in March.

The number of new and used cars available for sale in the United States declined in March. Depending on how long new car tariffs last, it could be the start of a long trend. Americans are (at least temporarily) buying more cars than usual. Automakers are importing fewer. And the nation’s supply of used cars is already thin following pandemic-era supply chain disruptions.
