For a few years after the end of World War II, Detroit's automakers sold mildly facelifted prewar designs while they made the switch back to peacetime production. Chrysler managed the feat for the 1949 model year; we admired a Plymouth Special Deluxe sedan from that year in a Colorado car graveyard last summer, and today we're going to take a look at an example of one of the last of the stopgap postwar Chrysler products : this '48 Dodge in a yard just south of Denver.

Automakers never talk about future products with the media, but dealers often get previews of upcoming models and lineup changes. Automotive News recently reported that Nissan showed off a next-generation Armada SUV, and the changes are said to make the full-size family hauler more “Range Rover-like.” A dealer told Automotive News that Nissan plans to swap the current model’s standard V8 for a twin-turbocharged V6 engine making 424 horsepower paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission.

One of the big questions people ask (sometimes disingenuously) is what will be done with all of the batteries after the end of an EV’s life. If EVs don’t last very long, and then all those batteries end up in junkyards, then we’ll have a major environmental problem on our hands, right?

The order books for the delayed Subaru Solterra will finally open in October, with the Japanese brand promising its first electric vehicle will be on sale in Australia before the end of the year. In fact, at least one prototype vehicle has already arrived in Australia. That puts it about six months behind schedule, but the delay isn’t entirely surprising, given the challenging global rollout of its twin, the Toyota bZ4X.

The Gran Turismo movie, appropriately named Gran Turismo , opened on Friday. Did you see it? If not, do you plan to? I am a bit hesitant to see it, since Hollywood has a tendency to screw up racing movies -- with Ford Versus Ferrari and Rush being exceptions -- and because the ads didn't make it look very good. I also did not like how one ad highlighted the line "if you take the wrong line, you could die.

The 60% surge in new electric vehicle (EV) registrations in Q1 2022 shows that drivers are hungry for change, provided that somewhere to charge is on the menu. For most drivers, home is still where the charge is. It’s where 80% of Tesla drivers refuel, for example. However, domestic Level 1 charging won’t sustain a national shift to EVs. We can’t expect the market to move en masse towards electric until the public recharging network matches the landscape for petrol-powered vehicles.
