A group of United Auto Workers members is seeking to oust President Shawn Fain ahead of an election next year, a sign of frustration among some in the two years since the labor group secured landmark contracts with U.S. automakers.

Mr. T used to say, "I pity the fool." Let's add to that the one who must -- somehow -- design their crossover to stand out from all the other crossovers.

Well, one way to do that is to design it differently -- at least visually -- and that's what Hyundai did with the Santa Fe. It looks very much unlike all the other crossovers.

The Volkswagen ID. Buzz is interesting in that it looks like the old VW Microbus of the '60s and '70s but is nothing like it.

This has its good -- and bad -- points.

What It Is

The ID. Buzz is a kind of visual reincarnation of the Microbus of the '60s and '70s that's entirely different in just about every other way. It has working heat and AC...Read more

They say a bachelor's degree is what a high school degree used to be. In the same way, a 2500 is what a 1500 used to be -- in that most 2500s still come standard with a regular cab, an 8-foot bed and a V8 engine, all of which have become harder to find (and are usually optional) in new half-ton trucks.

You can also get a diesel in a ...Read more

How much is not having a third row worth to you? How about $24,200? That is the difference -- in base price -- between a new Range Rover and the Range Rover Sport, which is basically the same full-size, ultra-premium SUV.

Aside from about 3 inches in length -- and the availability of a third row.

It's available with the same array of engines, ...Read more

There are lots of crossovers that look like SUVs but aren't. Few can pull more than 3,500 pounds, and none are built on a truck-type, rear-wheel-drive based layout. That's why they are crossovers rather than SUVs.
