The legislation passed after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and her colleagues won key concessions from an administration anxious to pass the trade deal before next year’s election season makes that task more difficult. The GOP-controlled Senate probably will take up the legislation when

Ford's last traditional sedan is not long for this world. Production of the Fusion Sport trim was phased out this year. And despite relatively healthy sales, the midsize sedan is expected to be killed in 2021, freeing space at Ford's Hermosillo, Mexico, plant for more profitable vehicles.

Given Lamborghini's longer life cycles, a replacement for the Huracan is not likely before 2024. When it arrives, it will be a plug-in hybrid.
Production of the 600LT coupe has wrapped up, while production of the 600LT Spider will continue through the spring of 2020.

The repositioning of the Opel-derived midsize sedan as a fastback and wagon in 2018 initially did well for Buick, but the future of both models in the U.S. is uncertain. GM has a purchase contract with Opel for them, though lackluster sales ? down 22 percent this year through June ? and a cut in production at the German plant that makes the Regal could have Buick cutting the nameplate sooner rather than later.
A Chevy compact crossover EV, similar in size to the Equinox, is expected in 2022.
The large sedan got a publicity boost from a limited-run special edition with suicide doors. It made just 80 of the Continental Coach Door Edition for the 2019 model year and will produce some 2020s, although officials declined to provide a number. After that, the vehicle will die, at least in the U.S., with plans to end production in Michigan in 2021. It most likely will live on in China, though.
The sedan, on a rear-wheel-drive platform with optional all-wheel drive, has won a lot of accolades since hitting the market last year, including North American Car of the Year from automotive journalists.

Joining the lineup for the 2020 model year is the DBS Superleggera convertible variant, which is beginning to reach retailers. Like the coupe, power comes from a 5.2-liter twin-turbo V-12 that packs 715 hp and 664 pound-feet of torque. It's offered only with a ZF eight-speed transmission.

The fastback sedan will be based on the Q Inspiration concept shown at the 2018 Detroit auto show. That concept featured Infiniti?s e-Power system, a range-extender system in which a battery-powered electric motor propels the vehicle and a gasoline engine is used to charge the battery.

The car has no pillar at its rear door, and the back of the vehicle slopes sharply like a fastback, punctuated by a single light strip.

The U.S. Congress declined to extend a $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles but will boost funding for aviation safety after two deadly Boeing 737 MAX crashes. General Motors Co and Tesla Inc have been pushing for more than a year for extension of the credit, which phases out once an automaker hits 200,000 vehicles sold, and many lawmakers had been pushing to include the extension. The tax credit is aimed at defraying the cost of electric vehicles that are more expensive th

Unlike the Insight, the Clarity vehicles (plug-in hybrid, full electric and fuel cell) are weird-looking but surprisingly normal to drive. The plug-in makes the most sense for purchase, with 47 miles of electric-only range. The electric vehicle makes the least sense as a consumer vehicle compared with competitors, with just 89 miles of range and availability in just California and Oregon and as a lease-only. This EV needs a new battery, or Honda needs to find a better platform for its full EV future and drop that variant. The fuel cell version is available in California only.
Ferrari launched the hybrid V-8 midengine sports car in May, the automaker's first series production plug-in hybrid.
The two automakers are jointly developing a battery-electric platform to underpin crossovers and sedans that are midsize and larger.

The redesigned 2019 CLS is powered by a new 3.0-liter turbocharged Inline-6 engine, making it the first U.S. application of the automaker's new 48-volt electrical system paired with an integrated starter generator, known as EQ Boost. Mercedes scrapped the eight-cylinder engine for the base U.S.-market CLS, now called the CLS 450. With the update, the CLS moves to the new Modular Rear-wheel-drive Architecture platform, the same platform used for the redesigned E class.
A freshening is expected in 2020.
Acura's flagship sedan has been allowed to drift off into irrelevance in recent years. The first generation dates to the 2014 model year. Efforts to keep the RLX fresh, including the addition of the diamond pentagon grille for the 2018 model year, haven't been enough to keep consumers interested. Monthly sales are averaging just over 100 units so far this year, and there's been little chatter about the car's future. At some point, it will likely be discontinued.
The subcompact sedan is expected to arrive in dealerships at the end of 2019 or early 2020, followed by two V-series performance variants.
Production of the aging compact crossover that dates to the DaimlerChrysler days could end after the 2020 model year. Dodge trimmed the 2020 lineup to two trims: the SE Value and Journey Crossroad.

The cheapest model is now $36,600 including shipping, and that's available only by special order at a Tesla store. The Model 3 earned a Top Safety Pick Plus award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the institute said this month.
