What I’m driving: The 2026 Lexus NX 350h AWD F Sport Handling left and was replaced by a 2026 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid, which is only taking about an hour and twenty minutes to fully recharge on a Level 2 240-volt charger. ? Subaru’s plan to fight tariff costs? Explosive growth with a target of 1.2 million units a year by the early 2030s, which would mark a lift of global sales by almost a third and exceed the company’s annual sales record that was notched before the pandemic. ?‍?

A hardcore Ferrari that looks like a street-legal race car was spotted testing on the road, and it’s expected to wear the 296 Challenge Stradale nameplate when the camo comes off. ? The European Commission will reportedly propose a rule that EVs need to contain at least 70% of EU content to be eligible for state subsidies in a bid to protect local manufacturing from low-cost Chinese competition. ⛽️ Stellantis plans to resurrect diesel-powered vehicles across Europe in yet another walk back of its EV plans.
