2022 North American International Auto Show
After a two-year hiatus, the North American International Auto Show has made its way back to Detroit, and with it some once in a generation reveals.
Make that the 7th generation of America’s original pony car as the 2024 Mustang was publicly unveiled in Detroit’s Hart Plaza. Good news for fans, Mustang continues the V8 legacy by offering the most powerful 5.0-liter GT yet, still with a manual transmission standard, as well as a stronger EcoBoost turbo four-cylinder. Aside from the new looks inside, the cabin has also been revamped; big screens, tech-savvy and with enhanced materials throughout.
The 2024 Mustang is expected to go on sale Summer 2023.
Jeep introduced two new 2023 models, each pulling from the automaker’s rich heritage.
The Grand Cherokee 4xe 30th Anniversary Edition and the Wrangler 4xe Willys silently crawled up onto the Jeep stage. As the names suggest, both utilize the brand’s plug-in hybrid system along with special appearance accents. The Grand Cherokee will arrive in dealers early 2023 in limited quantities, whereas the Willys will arrive late 2022.
Chevrolet charged forward with an electrified showcase and one showing internal combustion is far from history.
That reveal was the 2023 Tahoe RST Performance Edition. Its 6.2-liter V8 rates 433 horsepower and 467 lb-ft of torque; a slight increase over the regular RST. Other components were taken by the pursuit-rated police Tahoe.
Alongside it the Equinox EV, with its recently confirmed starting price of “around thirty-thousand dollars” and a standard range of 250 miles. The upcoming Blazer EV and Silverado EV were also on display.

Automakers Offer Employee Pricing & Nissan Lowers Pricing on the Rogue & Pathfinder
April 17, 2025Plus Toyota Sends off the MkV Supra With a Final Edition
Be it on the track or the automotive news beat, we know a thing or two about “late breaking.” Here’s Stephanie Hart with this week’s Motor News!
STEPHANIE HART: In the wake of President Trump’s trade tariffs, Ford and Stellantis have announced employee pricing on most vehicles for a limited time.
Ford started with their “From America, For America” initiative, lasting until June and applying to many Lincoln models as well. Stellantis, the parent company of America’s Jeep, Chrysler and Ram brands, is offering discounts up through April. In either case, actual savings are model dependent, and certain exclusions apply. Pricing is closer to invoice pricing, or what a dealer would typically pay themselves.
Nissan is also appealing to customers with price reductions for two of their SUVs.
The 2025 Nissan Rogue sees savings up to nearly $2,000 on certain trims. The entry-level S model now starts just under $30,000. Some Pathfinder trims are cut by more than a thousand dollars. The Pathfinder S starts under $38,000.
And for the enthusiasts, Toyota has announced two new special edition models.
The 2026 GR Supra Final Edition sends off the fifth-gen Supra with performance refinements and special styling, though no extra power from its turbo inline-six. An auto or manual transmission is available. Same for the GR86 Yuzu Special Edition. Its yellow paintjob pays homage to the Scion FRS Release Series One, and the GR86’s included performance package kicks things up a notch.
