Over the last several years, the Chevrolet Volt has developed a personality and a reputation of being the car with an electric range that you can trust. This car, in its current form, offers you 53 miles of EV driving before the gasoline engine ever kicks in. This could be enough range for you to avoid using the gasoline for several days at a time as long as you charge it nightly and only have a short commute each day. Not only do you receive this EV range, but once you start to use the gasoline you can drive a full 420 miles between fill-ups.

Recent announcements were made that Google was putting its vehicular self-driving technology research and development under a new company name and moving it to the Alphabet holding company.

How do You Remain the Leader?
The midsize truck segment was reinvigorated by the release of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. Adding these two trucks back to the segment ensured the midsize truck market would be competitive once again. At the time it was easy for GM to reenter the market as a leader with many of the other models growing long in the tooth as older version of what had made them successful for many years. As GM quickly took over the market other brands began to take notice and begin updating their midsize trucks to continue the competitive spirit of what we want in our smaller trucks.
An Original Backer Expanding
Formula E racing is fairly new to the market as it only started in 2014 and at the time every car on the track was identical except in color and sponsor. Audi was one of the original sponsors of a Formula E racing team, but as the sport has grown over the past few years some teams are expanding and asking that automakers build their own race cars to give some differentiation to the cars on this circuit. This is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing racing divisions in the world and may eventually branch off into other areas of racing.
