In 2025, German car companies earned nearly 44% less than in 2024, with earnings before interest and taxes dropping to just 24.9 billion, the lowest since 2020.

On average, fuel prices are up almost a dollar per gallon, or 25 percent, according to AAA. For a nation as addicted to the automotive as we are, that's bad news. Except, of course, for electric vehicles.

Honda has slashed the price of the 2026 Prologue by $7,500 across the board, essentially replacing the lost tax incentive and making the crossover a much better deal among its peers.

The Skoda Peaq can seat up to seven people, with a maximum trunk volume of 35.7 cu-ft in its five-seater configuration and 10.6 cu-ft behind the third row in the seven-seater variant.

The original 300 SL Uhlenhaut Coupe, the racing variant that never made it to public roads, remains one of the most valuable cars ever auctioned, fetching $143 million at a 2022 Sotheby's sale. So when concept designer Gabriel Naretto decided to name his reimagined Mercedes-AMG shooting brake after the man himself, the pressure to deliver something worthy of that legacy was immense.

The Mercedes-Benz EQB electric crossover is being recalled for the third time in the United States because its high-voltage battery might catch fire due to an internal short circuit.

I was there to see how MB.Drive Assist ProMercedes' new urban-focused automated driving systemwould handle San Francisco traffic, not just highways. Bolster, Mercedes' manager of automated and assisted driving, said the system runs two AI models in parallel. "That certainly helps with validation, and it helps us achieve our safety goals," he said.

This is silly, but a particular lifestyle seemingly comes with it for anyone who drives a Mercedes. You might feel like you are taking on the responsibility of trying to show you are living a "rich" lifestyle, even if that isn't why you bought the car. Ultimately, this kind of pressure isn't for everyone and isn't guaranteed to happen, but many Mercedes owners complain about it after purchase.
