The latest car news and reviews, straight to the point

Good morning and welcome to The Downshift, or TDS for short.
TDS is concise and straightforward, aggregating the latest automotive news from across the world in one location. Each story is summarized in a single, sometimes lengthy, sentence with a link for those interested in further details.
🚨 Just a quick note that I’ll be on vacation with my family next week. Another team member will take over TDS, which may arrive a bit later than usual, similar to this week as I’m in Los Angeles for the 2026 World Car of the Year evaluations, spending time with Volvo, and attending the 2025 LA auto show. I wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving.
I’ve finished my first cup of coffee and am starting on my second, so let’s dive in.
