The 2024 Acura ZDX from Honda will be their debut EV and the first to sport Google's built-in native integration. That means Google Assistant, Google Maps, Google Play, and even tailored features like optimized EV recharging routes, are all standard features. Honda's EV strategy is flexing hard, powered by partnerships and now Google.

Genesis is eyeing a fresh start in the US! All versions of its best-selling GV70 will soon be assembled at a $300M upgraded facility in Montgomery, Alabama. From 2024, expect all American-bound GV70s to proudly roll off the Alabama production line, boosting Genesis' stake in the US market with a dash of homegrown allure.
"A new start in Alabama" sounds like a rock-artist-gone-country's debut album.

Volvo's EX30 is a big step toward the brand's goal of going electric by 2030 and being affordable today. Unveiled in Milan, this tiny titan has an entry price of around $38,500, making EV ownership a more realistic dream for many (unlike those "spiders can drive cars" dreams we usually have). Already available in parts of Europe with the choice of cheaper, shorter-range lithium iron phosphate or pricier, longer-range nickel manganese cobalt batteries, customers can select the range and cost that is right for them.
Remember when $38K was the price of an affordable car and a $20K down payment on a house?

New York has joined the Dunking-On-Huyundai party. You already know the KiaBoyz challenge has the brand's vehicles getting snatched up like discount pizza at a ninja turtles convention. Now, New York City is serving them a hot slice of litigation. Accused of enabling a "car theft epidemic" by not including standard anti-theft devices, these automakers are learning that saving a slice can cost the whole pie.
