GM Unveils 2027 Pickup Engine Lineup Focusing on V-8s, Diesel, and Turbo Four

GM revealed the 2027 powertrain lineup for the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500, featuring two all-new V-8s, a carryover inline-six diesel, and an upgraded turbocharged four-cylinder. It marks GM’s sixth-generation small-block V-8, developed since 2018 to keep the trucks competitive as Ford and Ram refresh their lineups. Trucks remain GM’s profit cornerstone, with V-8 and diesel options accounting for sizable shares of Silverado and Sierra sales, while regulators continue a separate open investigation into the current 6.2-liter V-8.

Trump expands Canada tariffs: new bans on autos, dairy and alcohol

President Trump escalated the US‑Canada trade dispute by signing measures to block imports of certain Canadian autos, dairy products and alcohol in response to Canadian tariffs; the bans are set to take effect in about three weeks (Sept. 29) and come after a broader reshuffling of duties (including cement, road salt and hospital pads) with new duties on all-terrain vehicles, certain cheeses and motorboats, while a 50% tariff on cars and trucks remains on the table as talks have stalled and Canada has retaliated.

Range Rover Electric debuts at $138K, blending luxury with off-road EV performance

Range Rover unveils its first fully electric model, the Range Rover Electric, starting around $138,000 in the US, aiming to keep the brand’s luxury and off‑road prowess with twin 260kW motors delivering up to 550PS and 850Nm, 0–60 mph in 4.3 seconds, and a 118.5 kWh 800‑volt battery rated for about 372 miles of range (not EPA‑certified yet). It supports rapid charging (10–80% in about 22 minutes; ~137 miles added in 10 minutes at peak) and comes with a native North American Charging Standard port, enabling Tesla Supercharger access. The first edition is limited to 2,500 units. JLR emphasizes delivering the Range Rover experience in an electric form, while premium EV demand remains tepid and faces competitors like Cadillac Escalade IQ, Mercedes EQS SUV, and Lucid Gravity. The luxury-focused US market remains a top growth priority for Range Rover’s parent, Jaguar Land Rover.

Blame game erupts as Canada-U.S. trade talks collapse over auto carve-out

After Aug. 21 talks ended without a deal, Canada and the U.S. are trading blame over what sank the negotiations, centered on auto-relief carve-outs and last-minute demands. Janice Charette pushes back on Washington’s account, saying Canada sought a broad auto‑industry relief and that trucks were not being ignored. In the fallout, the U.S. imposed 50% tariffs on about $20 billion of Canadian imports and Canada retaliated with countertariffs, signaling a deepening trade dispute as talks seem unlikely to resume soon.

US-Canada trade row heats up as auto tariffs loom at 50%

Tensions between the US and Canada deepen after talks collapse, with President Trump threatening to raise tariffs on Canadian-made autos, trucks, and parts from 25% to 50% starting January 1. Canada pledges reciprocal measures and says talks could resume only with a "right attitude." The dispute jeopardizes the USMCA and risks broader economic disruption, prompting Ottawa to boost diversification and infrastructure like icebreakers while firms brace for impact.

Tariffs Trigger Collapse of US-Canada Trade Talks

Two weeks of US-Canada trade talks collapsed after the US moved forward with 50% tariffs on about $28 billion of Canadian goods, with Canada saying it would match the duties dollar-for-dollar. Negotiators had been close on autos and other concessions, but late-stage demands derailed a deal. The tariffs target items from wine and spirits to cement and hockey sticks, potentially raising costs for consumers and disrupting supply chains and cross-border trade under USMCA rules.

Trump signals near Canada tariff deal with concessions on autos and liquor

Canada–U.S. tariff talks near a deal as autos and liquor concessions surface

A midnight deadline looms as negotiators discuss lowering auto tariffs toward 15%, restoring some steel exemptions, and easing digital services taxes, while liquor-store policies and Keystone XL remain on the table amid broader trade talks that could avert 50% tariffs if a deal isn’t reached.

Rivian's R2 road test signals a turning point for the EV maker

Rivian’s high-stakes midsize EV, the R2, is designed to scale the company toward profitability with a cheaper, high-volume platform. In road tests, the Performance model delivers 656 hp and 609 lb-ft for a 0–60 around 3.6 seconds, while its semiactive dampers provide a notably smooth, composed ride. The EPA rates range at 330 miles from an 88-kWh pack, with real-world figures around 250–300 miles; charging uses a Tesla-compatible NACS port—10% to 80% in under 30 minutes. The interior feels premium for the price, but the lack of Apple CarPlay is a drawback. Pricing starts near $57,990 (about $61k as tested). If the R2 can scale, it could finally deliver profitability and volume for Rivian beyond its acclaimed but costly R1-series offerings.

Subaru recalls 541,000 SUVs over incorrect weight-label

Subaru of America is recalling more than 541,000 Crosstrek, Forester and Ascent SUVs in the U.S. because the certification label incorrectly states their GAWR (gross axle weight rating). The inaccuracy could lead to an overloaded vehicle, though Subaru reports no crashes or injuries to date. No mechanical repair is required; owners will receive a corrected certification label to place over the faulty one, with dealers able to apply it for free. The recall covers certain 2026 Crosstrek Hybrid, 2025-2026 Forester and Forester Hybrid, and 2019-2026 Ascent models. Owner notices go out in late August, and further letters will follow when the remedy is available. Owners can check eligibility via NHTSA or Subaru’s recall lookup tools.

Canada pushes for a 16-year USMCA renewal as July deadline nears

Canada formally requested in Washington that the USMCA be renewed for 16 years, arguing the pact gives North America a competitive edge while acknowledging areas to improve; talks on sectoral tariffs are seen as essential, with the US seeking greater access for dairy and higher North American content in cars. If no extension is agreed by July 1, the pact would be renewed annually through 2036 amid domestic pressure to conclude a deal.

How a Reagan-era ad derailed the Canada–U.S. trade talks

A high‑stakes White House meeting in October 2025 left Canada and the U.S. on the verge of an interim pact covering steel, aluminum, uranium, energy, and autos, but 16 days later talks collapsed. President Trump cited Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s $75 million Reagan‑era ad as the trigger, though officials say broader auto‑industry frustrations and Ottawa’s moves against Stellantis and GM were the real breakpoints. Canada’s retaliatory tariffs and import restrictions further poisoned negotiations, and while talks restarted in March, negotiators have not recaptured the 'magic moment' of October. With a July 1 deadline looming to renew USMCA or press toward a bigger deal, industry leaders are urging a focus on removing tariffs and returning to substantive talks.
