🚘 Industry News & Analysis
Ford is ending its pilot program for regional EV inventory hubs designed to stock and distribute electric vehicles. The program failed to gain traction with retailers.
The 2025 Audi A5 replaces the A4, starting at $48,995. It's more expensive than the A4 but undercuts BMW and Mercedes. Audi hopes the higher price will boost profits amid recent sales drops.
Costco offers discounts on new Chevrolet Corvettes: $3000 for Executive members and $2750 off for Gold Star members. Considering that an executive membership costs $130 annually, this deal could benefit those looking to purchase a Corvette.
