The American electric car maker, Tesla, announced a new reduction in the prices of its cars, days after its CEO, Elon Musk, announced an increase in interest in the company’s cars after lowering their prices earlier this year.

According to the Tesla website, the price of the Model S starts at $89.99,000, and the Model X starts at $99.99,000 in the US market, which is 5.3% or 9.1% lower than the previous price, respectively.

Bloomberg news agency indicated that the company reduced the prices of the higher category of the two cars by 4.3% and 8.3%, respectively, adding that with the price reaching $109.99 thousand, the price of the Blade category of the two cars, Model S and Model X, is lower by 26 thousand and 29 thousand for each model, compared to At the price in early January last.

Musk said last week that the desire to own Tesla cars was strong from the beginning, and this demand will become insane with the company’s success in making car prices lower and more suitable for people.

Bloomberg reported that lowering the price of the Model S and Model X again indicates that the increase in demand after the previous price cut was not at the desired level.

And in early February, Tesla, the largest producer of electric cars in the United States, announced a reduction in the prices of some cars by up to 20%.

The future Alfa flagship could share a platform with the upcoming Giulia EV and be similar in size to the BMW iX.

• Alfa Romeo is planning a large electric SUV flagship that could arrive in 2028, per a report by Auto Express.

• After interviewing Alfa CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato, the British outlet believes the brand will build an EV SUV the size of a BMW iX before the decade’s end.

• Imparato also told AE that Alfa plans to introduce an electric sedan in 2027 that’ll be even bigger than the upcoming 2025 Giulia EV.

Before the end of the decade, Alfa Romeo plans to build a large electric SUV that’s similar in size to the BMW iX. At least that’s what British car magazine Auto Express reported today after an interview with Alfa CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato.

Alfa’s Future EV Flagship

Imparato told the British car magazine that sometime in 2027 the brand will introduce an electric sedan that’s suited for North America. It’ll be in the same size category as the Audi A6 and BMW 5-series, so it’ll be bigger than the upcoming 2025 Giulia EV.

Following the debut of the size-up sedan, Imparato mentioned introducing a “built-up model in 2028”. AE believes this to be a large electric SUV that’ll be Alfa’s future flagship, which makes sense considering the company has previously discussed building bigger and smaller SUVs to surround the current compact-sized Stelvio. So far, the company has only introduced the subcompact Tonale plug-in hybrid.

Another STLA Large Adopter

The speculation is that the bigger electric sedan and SUV will be based on the Stellantis Group’s STLA Large platform. It’s the same one that’ll underpin the Giulia EV, offering an 800-volt electrical architecture with rapid-charging capability.

Regarding the bigger future sedan, Imparato told AE it’ll be able to recharge 80 percent of its battery in 18 minutes and aim for over 400 miles of driving range. He also said Alfa’s design language is set through 2027, so that includes the time frame for the sedan but not the SUV.

While AE’s article includes a rendering of what it thinks Alfa’s future flagship could look like, we’ll likely have to wait quite awhile until we get an official glimpse of the big-bodied ute. For now, we’ll just have to use what we know about the Italian automaker’s current aesthetic to fuel our imagination.

• Hyundai has unveiled a facelifted version of the Elantra sedan for the Korean market.
• We expect to see these visual changes come to the U.S. for the 2024 Elantra, though we don’t have details yet.
• In Korea, the Elantra is called the Avante.

The angular compact sedan’s updated face looks better than before, and we expect to see these changes come to the U.S. car soon.

The current-generation Hyundai Elantra’s angular design garnered attention when it first arrived for 2021, but it’s apparently time for a visual freshening already. Hyundai unveiled an updated version of the Korea-market Avante sedan, and we think this closely previews the 2024 Elantra that should reach the U.S. market later this year.

With revised headlights, a slimmer front grille, and new wheel designs, the facelifted Elantra looks more attractive to our eye. Around back, the taillights look slightly different as well, and the rear bumper design is more aggressive. We can’t spot any obvious changes inside, but the Elantra may get infotainment upgrades and new standard features.

The machine

We don’t expect Hyundai to change the Elantra’s powertrains much for 2024, as the current 2.0-liter inline-four, hybrid, and turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four engine options should stick around. The high-performance Elantra N, with its powerful 286-hp 2.0-liter turbo-four, is likely to get similar styling changes for 2024 but it may arrive a few months after the standard car. The Elantra N is also the only version that offers a manual transmission, as the lesser N Line version with its 1.6T engine dropped its six-speed manual option after the 2022 model year.

The new C8 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 has been in the spotlight since its debut. The track-oriented Corvette from General Motors answers the question of what it would look like if GM made the Ferrari 458 Italia. It is one of the most unique cars the American automaker has ever produced. The Z06 has some serious supercar numbers on its stat sheet.

Its numbers trump many cars that are more expensive than it. When it comes to the road and even more powerful exotic cars, it’s interesting to see if the new Z06 can hold up to the competition.
Luckily the YouTube channel, Speed Phenom, took his 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 cruising and saw how it compared to a true hypercar. The Pagani Huayra BC that it rolls with features 800 horsepower and a barely street-legal design. Read on to see how the Z06 fairs against a much more expensive hypercar.

Out on the highway, the Z06 looks right at home with this lineup of supercars. It cruises behind the Pagani Huayra BC, a performance model named in honor of Benny Caiola, the late friend of the car company’s owner, Horacio Pagani.

With praise like that, the Z06 is starting to move up to the status of a supercar. It certainly has the performance, although only time will tell if the community will accept it as that classification.

It’s not too surprising that the C8 Corvette Z06 continues to impress car enthusiasts since the base C8 Stingray already provides incredible performance that can rival some supercars. With the performance of these models, the latest generation of America’s sports car is more formidable than ever.
