Takata Crisis Continues: 2016 Honda CR-V Recalled For Exploding Airbags, Nissan Re-Inspects Cars
The complicated and confusing Takata airbag recall is no longer front-page news, but never fear: the nightmare for Takata, automakers, and consumers plays on.
The Cadillac XTS is a handsome restatement of the brand's long-standing Art & Science design theme, though it's backed off the extreme angles and edges of the prior generation of Cadillacs.

2016 Chevrolet COPO Camaro Courtney Force concept, 2015 SEMA show
From Motor Authority: 2016 Chevy COPO Camaro Previewed With Courtney Force Concept: Video
Chevrolet teamed up with NHRA Camaro Funny Car driver Courtney Force to develop a concept previewing the 2016 COPO Camaro based on the all-new, sixth-generation Camaro muscle car. The concept is called the COPO Camaro Courtney Force, and it made its debut today at the SEMA show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
These are the first spy shots of the next-generation Subaru Impreza. The current Impreza was introduced for the 2012 model year, and given the fact that Subaru tends to redesign its models every five years or so we should see the new generation of the popular compact arrive as a 2017 model.

Polaris Updates GEM Low-Speed Electric Vehicles
The company GEM has specialized in small, low-speed electric vehicles for more than 15 years; at one point during its life it was even owned by Chrysler. Fitting into the class of "neighborhood electric vehicles," GEM products feature all-electric powertrains, but aren't substantial enough to be used in all circumstances that highway-capable cars can handle.
