NY Auto Show preview: Chevy teases new Camaro SS

By Marcus Amick March 21, 2013

Continuing to rev up its performance line-up, Chevrolet has released a tease of the 2014 Camaro SS to debut at the New York International Auto Show.

According to Chevrolet’s official press release, the 2014 Camaro represents the most significant change for the fifth-generation Camaro, which has been the most popular sports car in America for three consecutive years.

The new Camaro will be joined in New York by the all-new Corvette Stingray and Chevrolet SS performance sedan, completing the line of new performance vehicles Chevrolet offered for 2014.

The tease seems to suggest that Chevy is building up for a few new design elements on Camaro for its New York debut. It is, after all, being touted as “new” rather than “refreshed,” which suggest that there will likely be a few notable differences.

The official newsletter for the New York International Auto Show indicates that the car will “advances” in the “design and performance attributes” of the 2014 model. But doesn’t provide much more detail.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the 2014 model picks up some styling cues from the new Stingray, considering how it has now set a new design standard for Chevrolet’s high-performance vehicles.

According to Motor Authority, there is also speculation (stemming from a supposed GM document posted online and since removed) that the 2014 Camaro could be getting an optional twin-turbo V-6 engine with potentially 355-horsepower.

Tesla’s fix for faulty Cybertruck pedal is simpler than you might think

Tesla Cybertruck

Less than five months after handing over the first Cybertrucks to customers, Tesla has had to recall the electric pickup to fix an issue with the accelerator.

In a notice issued on Friday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that the recall impacts Cybertruck vehicles manufactured from November 13, 2023, to April 4, 2024. This suggests that all -- or almost all -- of the 3,878 Cybertrucks being recalled are those that have been manufactured to date.

Ford Mustang Mach-E 2024 vs. Mach-E 2023: What’s new in Ford’s electric Mustang?

The Ford Mustang Mach-E is easily one of the best EVs for the price, offering a solid range, sleek design, and pretty good tech on the inside. In recent years, it has gotten even cheaper -- thanks in large part to a price war between it and the Tesla Model 3. And, the company just took the wraps off of the latest and greatest version of the Mach-E, labeled as the 2024 model.

The 2024 Mustang Mach-E is notably different from the 2023 iteration in some meaningful ways. So much so that we decided to take a look at the two head-to-head -- to see if it was better to pay for the 2024 model or save some cash on any remaining 2023 stock.
Design
The Mustang Mach-E looks relatively unique -- in a good way. And thankfully, Ford has largely kept the overall design the same for the 2024 model, at least when it comes to the more consumer-focused models. The car retains the slatted taillights and crossover size. It also offers a large selection of colors, including the very blue Grabber Blue Metallic, as well as Rapid Red Metallic. It's a good selection of colors, and there should be an option for most buyers.

Tesla to begin production on new, more affordable models

Tesla Model 3

With competition increasing from Chinese and other automakers, Tesla boss Elon Musk revealed on Tuesday that his company is planning to begin production of new, more affordable models in “early 2025, if not late this year.” Notably, that's earlier than the previously stated date of late 2025, though whether Musk actually succeeds in meeting the earlier production time frame is another question entirely.

The news came as Tesla released its latest quarterly figures. Revenue for the electric vehicle maker came in at $21.3 billion, down from the $23.3 billion it reported for the same three-month period a year earlier and also down from the $25.2 billion reported in the previous quarter. Profit reached $1.1 billion, marking a 55% fall compared to the same period a year ago.
