GMC Terrain owners are affected, too.
We ve long known that listening to loud music is bad for your hearing. It doesn t matter whether you re using headphones or listening to the stereo in your home or car. Loud is loud. And if you re the owner of a 2018-2021 model year Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, then you should be aware of a new technical service bulletin (TSB) from General Motors first noticed by GM Authority.
The problem involves the crossovers power window motor losing memory because of intense speaker vibration. More specifically, the front windows could lower by approximately one-quarter of an inch or more if the audio system is too loud or is playing music with heavy bass.
The sonorous wail of the Fabspeed exhaust is highly addictive.
There s little to fault in a Ferrari 812. Whether it s the Superfast coupe or the GTS convertible, it s a spectacular example of Maranello s excellence with the V12 engine. A more hardcore version of the car is coming, but even the standard version goes like stink and sounds incredible, especially when you get to the higher reaches of the rev range. But thanks to WLTP and noise regulations, modern supercars are actually relatively quiet. Fortunately, Fabspeed is here to help and has released a new X-pipe exhaust system with sport cats, and it turns the drama all the way up to 11.

Perhaps realizing they are being filmed, the test driver activates the Hummer EV s Crab Mode and starts dancing for the camera, using all four wheels to move into the next lane. The Crab Mode is designed primarily for use off-road as it allows the Hummer EV to maneuver around obstacles more easily.
But, as this video shared on Instagram shows, it can also come in handy on the highway when you need to change lanes.

Like the model we recently saw doing powdered donuts in the snow, the prototype is missing some design elements such as the wheel arches, side skirts, and chrome exterior trim.
Audi has been doing its best to steal the limelight at
Auto Shanghai 2021 with the reveal of the stunning A6 e-tron Concept, a gorgeous design study that we re hopeful will make production unchanged, much like the e-tron GT before it. But although concept cars are exciting to look at, it s the realistic reveals that will make the biggest impact in the short term. China is a very important market for Audi and other premium automakers, and this market often gets unique long-wheelbase variants of cars that the rest of the world is also offered. The latest is a lengthened version of the Audi A7, and it will be made in the very market that it s intended for.
As if the lack of semiconductor chips wasn t already bad enough.
It s been a year since the first automotive assembly lines ground to a halt because of the coronavirus pandemic. Most managed to restart production throughout the summer under strict new health regulations to keep workers healthy. That s the good news. The bad news is that automakers are currently suffering from a global semiconductor chip shortage that s causing reduced production for some of America s most popular vehicles like the Ford F-150. Chevy shut down Camaro production entirely for the time being. If this weren t bad enough, there s now another supplier crisis brewing.
