The Daily Redline
Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa used an Automotive News event in Detroit on September 30 to lay out the sharpest reversal in Detroit right now: 11 new vehicles for North America over the next five years, seven of them priced under 40,000 dollars, with range-extended hybrid powertrains and smaller pickups doing the heavy lifting. The plan's headline move is the Ram Rampage, a compact pickup already s...

The Review Desk
Start with the numbers, because the GT4 earns them. The 4.0 liter flat six behind the seats makes 414 horsepower at 7,600 rpm and 309 lb ft of torque, and it revs to 8,000 rpm without a turbocharger anywhere in the plumbing. With the six speed manual, Porsche claims 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and a top track speed of 188 mph, from a car weighing 3,126 pounds. By the end of the production run the b...

The Trend Line
Two data points frame the month. In August, pure electric cars outsold gasoline and diesel cars combined in Europe for the first time, a milestone reported on September 28 that would have been unthinkable five years ago. In September, France made it look ordinary: 65,243 electric cars sold, up 108.1 percent year on year, for a record 41.7 percent share of a market that totaled 156,629 cars. Gasoli...
