Production stops only one week after restarting.
The Chevrolet Camaro has been having a tough time lately. Sales continue to be down as it remains a distant third place behind the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger in the ongoing muscle car battle. More recently, it s become another victim of the semiconductor chip shortage crisis. Production was forced to stop in mid-March at the Lansing Grand River assembly plant in Michigan but got started again late last month. Unfortunately, it didn t last long.
CBS news affiliate WLNS 6 in Lansing, Michigan reports the plant has been idled again starting from May 10 through June 28. Along with being the Camaro s home, LGR also builds the Chevy Malibu, and the Cadillac CT4 and CT5.
This is the one we ve been waiting for.
Audi surprised just about everyone last month when it revealed the A6 e-tron concept. Riding on the new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, the concept looks relatively close to being production-ready. Audi says the first PPE-based EV will debut next year, but we re not convinced it ll be the production-spec A6 e-tron. There s a greater chance it ll be the Q6 e-tron crossover.

Revealed in tandem with the 812 Competizione A, a Targa variant, this is Ferrari at its unfiltered best. Ferrari
An Aerodynamic Beauty
While retaining the 812 Superfast s distinctive silhouette with a stretched hood and tall tail, the greater aerodynamic requirements of the 812 Competizione have introduced numerous alterations that give it an edgier appearance. One of the most notable changes is the use of an all-aluminum surface in place of the Superfast s rear window. With the placement of vort
Despite a strong start to 2021.
Ferrari was one of the first automakers to respond to the coronavirus pandemic last year by shutting down its factories in Maranello and Modena. Since they reopened, Ferrari has been getting back on track with encouraging sales. Despite the disruption caused by the pandemic, Ferrari is celebrating a strong start to 2021. In Q1, Ferrari shipped 2,771 units, a 1.2 percent improvement over the same period in 2020. More impressively, Ferrari s Q1 net profit was up by 24.1 percent at 206 million Euros ($247.2 million).
Sales of Ferrari s eight-cylinder models were up by 8.1 percent, while V12 models were down by 19.6 percent. Ferrari attributes its strong Q1 sales to high demand for the F8 Tributo, F8 Spider, and 812 GTS.
