X-class overview from Esquire UK
I don't see full size pickup trucks selling much in Europe, they are just too wide, probably a foot wider than full size luxury cars due to the side view mirrors. Have fun with that. The Ranger Raptor should do decently there though.

September 2018: Volvo Car USA, LLC
They're doing pretty well, they have a limited number of powertrain and platforms and are approaching their 2007 sales high with a lot of momentum. Europe is their big market where they sell 3-4 times as many vehicles.

September 2018: FCA US LLC
Not sure it makes sense to change the mission/size of the Caravan when its replacement comes.

BMW News: Leaked: 2019 BMW 3-Series
Not surprised by the slow evolution of the design given the 5 series refresh that happened a year or so ago that was similar.

Lincoln News: Lincoln's Used-Car Subscription Program Not Doing So Well
Cars should be so reliable now, I'm ok with driving one 15 years, ~180,000 miles+. Probably I've just been lucky with current ride and the next one will need warranty service or something other than the basics in that time. I'd rather build up equity, spend on travel and family, retire by 55 than spend on new vehicles. Maybe my parent's first generation immigrant cheapness made its way to me as I get older. For the life of me we cannot get them to enjoy their $$.

Chevrolet News:Chevrolet Still Sees Cars As An Important Part Of Their Lineup
IIRC the current Cruze and Malibu generations came out for the 2016 model year, so 2019 would be the fourth year of their runs.

The venerable 3800 V6 engine
I remember visits to the wrecker in the mid 80's to find replacements for our rusted out 77 Cutlass Supreme coupe doors.. at least one of them was replaced with a Regal door IIRC.

Chevrolet News:Chevrolet Readies A New Strategy To Stop Ford and Dodge From Eating Camaro's "Lunch"
Current Camaro has a convertible like cargo capacity.. like less than 10 cubic feet IIRC. It is really bad. The Mustang is pretty much what I would expect, probably 12-14 cubic feet.

Good looking compact sedan, too bad it is still based on the old Civic platform and has the old dash.

Cadillac News: Spying: Telling the Difference Between the Cadillac CT4 and CT5
This class of cars has been in a sales decline for years now, ATS did not sell well and its successor will likely meet the same fate of bargain leases to clear inventory. The segment got more competitive, and buyers moved on the the X3 and the like. I fail to see the point of investing money in the CT4 it unless it will sell decently in China. I would rather see an X3, GLC competitor from Cadillac.

Review: 2018 Mazda CX-9 vs. Volkswagen Atlas
In the Ranier's time, off the top of my head, give me a 2007 4Runner Limited... In the Envision's time, give me almost any other ~45K two row CUV released in the last two years.

Review: 2018 Mazda CX-9 vs. Volkswagen Atlas
My SO likes the CX-9 more than most CUV's because it is stylish and smallish for a 3 row CUV, but then she is 5'0" and we don't have 3 kids.. I wonder how it compares to the 2019 Sorrento V6.

Review: 2018 Mazda CX-9 vs. Volkswagen Atlas
27mpg combined is pretty impressive for a vehicle that large (the Atlas), though I wonder how the performance and MPG would suffer had it been the AWD model.
