Mazda Sales Surged Last Month, Including The MX-5

Image
Sales of the beloved Mazda MX-5 are up 31.5% since September 2025. Mazda has reported strong demand for all its models, including the CX-5. Mazda’s September sales jumped 31.9 percent compared to last year. Mazda’s US sales skyrocketed last month, driven by a jump in demand for every single model that it sells locally. Despite this, the brand’s year-to-date sales have so far failed to match last year. In September, Mazda sold 34,519 vehicles, a significant 31.9% increase from the same month last year. One of the standout performers was the MX-5, not because it sold in huge numbers, but because demand rose 31.5% even though it’s now more than a decade old. Evidently, people are still chasing a simple and enjoyable driving experience.

The World’s Lowest Land Rover Hides An Air-Cooled Secret Underneath

Image
Custom build merges a Land Rover body with VW underpinnings. Features a shortened chassis, four-way air ride, and Porsche wheels. Currently offered on eBay with a £15,000 ($20,000) asking price. Classic Land Rovers and later Defender models have been the subject of various tuning and restomod projects over the past few years, with most of them respecting their rugged character. Still, this is definitely not the case with a unique build nicknamed the “Slamd-Rover”, which is currently up for grabs on eBay. The wild creation pairs the boxy silhouette of the British off-roader with the shortened and slammed underpinnings of an air-cooled VW Beetle .

Citroen Is Reviving The Iconic 2CV As An Affordable EV

Image
Citroen teases a new 2CV concept, ahead of its debut on October 11. The modern reincarnation of the iconic French car will be electric. A production version is expected in 2028, with a sub-€15k price tag. Citroen is ready to shake up the Paris Motor Show with the return of the legendary 2CV. The model is back after a 36-year hiatus, in the form of a fully electric city car with styling references to the original and a focus on affordability. The new 2CV will initially debut as a concept, but a production version is expected to follow in 2028. The much-anticipated return of the 2CV was officially confirmed earlier in 2026, following years of rumors and speculation which were often dismissed by the company. This means that the French castle has fallen, with a new 2CV joining other reincarnations of iconic designs from the past such as the rival Fiat 500 and the discontinued VW Beetle.

21-Year-Old With No License Takes Massive 3-Axle Truck On Hour-Long Police Chase

Image
The 21-year-old had no appropriate license or insurance. He led police on an hour-long chase in a flatbed truck. At one point, he hit 56 mph in a 20 mph zone. Everybody makes mistakes from time to time, but running from police is on a different level. Doing so behind the wheel of what is a massive, somewhat unwieldy freight truck just adds additional stupidity on top of an already bad decision. Evidently, those weren’t the only two wrong things one young man in the UK did recently. He managed both while also unlicensed and uninsured. The dashcam video is harrowing. According to police, the chase began in Cuddington on August 10 after PC Michael Clark attempted to stop Leuan Griffiths. Instead of pulling over, the 21-year-old reportedly took off in the flatbed truck he had purchased despite not having the appropriate license or insurance. Things went downhill quickly from there.

Stellantis Sales Are Flat, But The Numbers Tell A Wild Story

Image
Stellantis’ third-quarter US sales were essentially unchanged, while year-to-date volume rose 3%. Ram surged 29% as Jeep fell 20%, while Alfa Romeo collapsed 65% and Dodge and Chrysler barely moved. Gas Chargers outsold electric ones nearly 15-to-1, and one lonely ProMaster City found a buyer. Stellantis’ latest US sales report looks remarkably boring if you stop at the bottom line. The automaker sold 324,277 vehicles during the third quarter, down just 548 units from the same period last year and effectively flat. Through September, things actually look a little better, with sales up 3% to 958,463 vehicles. Dig a little deeper, though, and boy oh boy is there a lot happening underneath those numbers. Ram is surging, Jeep is struggling, Chrysler is basically a magical company, buyers have made their Charger preferences pretty clear, and Alfa Romeo is having an absolutely miserable year. Better yet, someone apparently walked into a ...
