Hertz dumps 30,000 Teslas at half price in $2.9B loss as Americans flee back to gas

Rows of electric vehicles — predominantly Tesla Model 3s — lined a Hertz lot, waiting for buyers who never arrived. Vehicles that once cost $40,000 each sold for as little as $20,000. Thirty thousand cars, all marked down. Used rental cars became distressed inventory, auctioned off like furniture from a closed restaurant. The largest rental car fleet loss in modern history came not from recession or disaster, but from the vehicles themselves. Hertz ended 2024 with a $2.9 billion net loss. The EV depreciation program was one of the main culprits.

6 major auto brands now source from China—Chinese vehicles surge 45% as Toyota falls 28%

China dethroned Japan as Australia's top vehicle source in February 2026. First time since 1998. Chinese-made vehicles hit 25,781 units against Japan's 21,671, a gap that materialized in a single month after nearly three decades of Japanese dominance. Chinese imports surged 50.5% year-over-year. Toyota sales fell 27.8% in that same month, and other leading Japanese brands also declined. FCAI CEO Tony Weber confirmed it: "After 28 years, Japan has been overtaken by China as the largest source of vehicles for the Australian market in a single month." Most people saw that headline. Almost nobody tracked where the shockwave landed next.

Why she chose a BMW M2 DCT over a BMW M4 + Lexus GX470 overland build review

Niel upgraded from a Mini Cooper S to a BMW M2, purchasing it before the M2 CS had been unveiled. The choice between an M3, M4, or the M2 was a tough one, but the M2's appeal proved irresistible. Her license plate amusingly makes other drivers want to race her all the time. Niel's M2 is stock, offering an authentic ownership experience straight from the dealer. She shares her car adventures on Instagram @turrbokitty. If I were to own an M2, I'd consider a Stage 1 tune, smaller wheels, a valved catback exhaust, and maybe a roof wrap, though the toughest choice remains between a DCT or manual transmission. Ansrwd, a series of car reviews by real owners, offers insights not from automotive journalists like Chris Harris or Doug Demuro, but from actual enthusiasts. Cars featured in this series include models like the Gaglardi Vex, Porsche 911 GT3, McLaren 600LT, Ferrari F12/F430 and 458 Italia, Acura NSX, Corvette, FRS, BMWs, Drift Cars, and more. Douglas Sonders contributes with his experiences, including his latest project, a 2008 Lexus GX470. Thanks to Douglas for providing the photos in the video.

Clean sticky car radio buttons DIY + selling an Audi R8 for a Miata - Paul's car story

To stay safe during quarantine, I am making videos with my 2012 MK6 GTI and 2004 Cayenne Turbo. I discovered a useful trick for cleaning the sticky radio knobs in the Cayenne, a common issue in older Ferraris due to sun exposure, although their buttons are harder to remove. If you have any car video requests, let me know! Thanks to @HooviesGarage for inspiring me to buy my first Porsche. Recently, Paul bought a 4th generation Club Edition 6-speed MX-5, known as a Mazda Miata ND, to replace his beautiful V10-powered R8 with a dual clutch. I met him when he owned the first dual clutch Audi R8 in the USA with an S-Tronic transmission. His latest purchase was a 991.1 Porsche GT3RS. This video is a remote interview with Paul discussing his past cars and why he chose the Miata over a BMW M4 convertible and Bentley Continental GTC while shopping for a replacement for the Audi R8 V10 Plus. I, Ben, currently own a 1991 BRG Limited Edition Miata and previously had a classic red 1995 Miata as my weekend car, alongside my MK6 GTI DSG and Mini Cooper S (6-speed).

Porsche scraps electric flagship SUV launch after 99% profit collapse—V8 debuts in its largest vehicle ever

Porsche announced an 80% electric lineup by 2030, but its flagship K1 SUV will launch with a V8 instead of a battery pack. The vehicle was designed to showcase the brand’s EV ambitions on Volkswagen’s SSP platform. Autocar reported earlier this year that software delays, weakening EV demand, and collapsing profits forced a complete plan change. H1 operating profits fell sharply, signaling deep financial strain. The shift exposes how fragile Porsche’s EV strategy has become. Understanding the scale of these losses shows why the K1’s debut is now a combustion-focused launch.
