LA Auto Show 2026: 24 Brands, One Confirmed Newcomer, and a Debut List Still to Come
Organizers have locked the dates, 24 brands, and a gasoline sponsor; the debut list has slipped to early November. Here is what is confirmed and what is a guess.

Organizers have locked the dates, 24 brands, and a gasoline sponsor; the debut list has slipped to early November. Here is what is confirmed and what is a guess.

From rain booths to medical-grade CT scanners, Toyota lists five checks its U.S. plants run. They catch build flaws, not the software faults behind its latest recalls.

Nine-month operating profit hit €1.74 billion, up from €40 million. Strip out last year's restructuring bill, and the third quarter was Porsche's weakest of 2026.

Wholesale used prices rose 2.2% year over year in early October while new-car cuts stayed narrow. Where the lease returns went, which segments hold value, and what the Fed adds.

Chery is weighing a Canadian plant and a Stellantis venture may ship China-built Jeeps north. Three scenarios, one table, and the three U.S. rules that stop each of them.

Audi's Georgia plant joins Hyundai, Kia, Rivian, BMW, Volvo, Scout and a dozen more. We mapped all 19, and what the belt means for import prices.

The startup turns real camera footage into editable 3D driving worlds. Rivian needs those synthetic miles before Point to Point lands in December and Uber's 2028 robotaxi deadline arrives.

Margins, inventory, EV losses, and warranty reserves show who has room to discount in November and December. Ford's report on Wednesday is the missing piece.

Volvo's $111 million write-down, Tesla's shrinking credit sales, and Stellantis' stranded purchase contracts show who paid for a zero CAFE fine — and which cars it puts at risk.

The $4 billion Peach County plant will build up to 200,000 SUVs a year, but Audi hasn't named a single model, and production won't start before the early 2030s.

We scored six promised pickups on five tests: confirmation, plant, date, price, and a truck you can see. Slate passes all five. Volkswagen passes none.

Tariffs, lost EV incentives, and a $111 million CAFE write-down hit Volvo's third quarter. Its US answer: XC60 production in South Carolina from early 2027.

The 2027 Wrangler lineup confirms the plug-in isn't returning. It sold up to 67,429 a year, yet Wrangler sales rose 5% last quarter without it.

Subaru lowered Outback prices and Ford gave the Mach-E more battery, but the average new car still costs more. The cuts land where sales are slipping.

Chery says it can build a car that meets U.S. content rules and wants an American partner. Two of five barriers still look like hard stops.

The Camry, RAV4, and now the NX have lost their gas versions. On the first two, entry prices rose about $2,000, a hybrid premium rivals still can't match.

Profit fell 43% and R&D jumped 69%, while unsupervised driving for owners' cars slipped to around mid-2027. Here is what that means for FSD and Model Y prices.

The 22,000-square-foot space on the south sideline opens with the new Nissan Stadium in 2027, as Infiniti's U.S. sales climb again on the QX65.

A reported 509-hp Outback-bodied prototype is Subaru's first EV engineered without Toyota. The real story is Panasonic cells, a 2029 date, and what Honda and Mazda already got wrong.

The December 3 ballot renews Musk, Denholm, and Straubel for three years and carries no shareholder proposals. The end of human-driven Teslas is not on it, and nobody is asking.
