Polestar has confirmed that its next model will be the Polestar 3, an electric SUV.Production will start sometime in 2022 at Volvo’s plant in South Carolina.A teaser photo shows the Polestar 3’s silhouette, and it will ride on a new EV platform.Polestar will further expand its lineup next year with a new model called the Polestar 3. The company describes it as an “aerodynamic performance electric SUV,” which makes us think it will be styled like SUV “coupes” such as the BMW X4 or Mercedes GLC Coupe. It will ride on a new Volvo EV platform, and a teaser photo gives a hint at its silhouette.Notably, the Polestar 3 will be the EV subbrand’s first model to be built in the U.S. Production is scheduled to start sometime in 2022 at Volvo’s new plant in South Carolina, which currently builds the S60 sedan and will soon start building the next-generation XC90 SUV.
The 3 will follow the Polestar 1, a plug-in-hybrid coupe that recently ended production, and the Polestar 2, an electric hatchback currently on sale that starts at $61,200. Polestar has also said it plans to build a production version of the Precept concept, a larger flagship sedan with advanced driver-assistance features.Look for more information on the Polestar 3 to come later this year. It will likely go on sale in the U.S. in late 2022 as a 2023 model.

The 2022 Ford Mustang’s optional V-8 engine will make less power and torque than before.The output is reduced by 10 horsepower and 10 pound-feet of torque in GT and Mach 1 models.The 2022 Mustang also gains some new appearance packages including a Stealth Edition for the four-cylinder EcoBoost car.Ford is reducing the output of the 2022 Mustang’s V-8 engine, as first reported by Ford Authority and confirmed to C/D by a Ford spokesperson. The 5.0-liter Coyote engine will make 10 fewer horsepower and 10 fewer pound-feet of torque in both GT and Mach 1 models, regardless of transmission. Ford hasn’t shared the exact modifications that led to this decrease in power and torque, but it’s rumored that stricter emissions requirements are a factor.
The V-8 will now make 450 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque in the GT and 470 horsepower and 410 pound-feet in the Mach 1. These changes don’t affect the base EcoBoost turbo 2.3-liter inline-four, which makes 310 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque in base form or 330 hp with the optional Performance package. The top-dog Shelby GT500’s supercharged 5.8-liter V-8 will also continue on with the same 760 hp and 625 pound-feet of torque.We don’t have pricing yet for the 2022 Mustang lineup, but we do know that it’s adding a few new appearance packages including an Ice White Edition, a Stealth Edition, and an updated California Special that’s now available with the GT’s Performance package. Ford says that it will open up orders for the 2022 Mustang later this year, with cars set to arrive at the beginning of next year.

The 2022 Ford F-Series Super Duty pickups will be available with a new horizontally oriented 12.0-inch touchscreen first seen on the 2021 F-150.
Ford isn’t giving the Super Duty trucks any significant visual changes like the new F-150, though, just new color choices and appearance packages.
The 2022 F-250, F-350, and F-450 will be on sale this summer.
Ford is upping its screen game to compete with Ram’s vertically oriented touchscreens. The 2021 Ford F-150 got a slight overhaul with a new available horizontally oriented 12.0-inch screen (the same size as Ram’s), and now the Super Duty models, which get no other changes besides colors and appearance packages, will arrive for the 2022 model year with the bigger screens available, too. The 2021 F-150 is on sale now, and the 2022 Super Duty trucks will arrive this summer.View Photos
Ford
To get the new 12.0-inch touchscreen you’ll have to select the Lariat model or above. They use Ford’s Sync 4 infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. However, the Super Duty trucks don’t get the available 12.0-inch digital gauge cluster from the F-150. F-Series Super Duty XL models come standard with a 4.2-inch screen while XLTs get the previous model year’s 8.0-inch screen with Sync 3. Chevy and GMC’s heavy-duty trucks only have up to 8.0-inch screens available.

The only visual tweaks for the 2022 Super Duty pickups include a new Atlas Blue exterior color, a Baja interior color for the Lariat, Navy Pier and Light Slate interiors for the Limited models, and some appearance packages for the F-250 and F-350. The new Lariat sport appearance package matches the Lariat model’s bumpers, mirrors, and grille with the exterior color and equips chrome exhaust tips and black running boards. Meanwhile, the black appearance package, previously only on the Lariat, is now available on the XLT. It includes black 20-inch wheels, body-colored bumpers and grille, running boards, and blacked-out Ford badges.
The Ford Super Duty comes standard with a 6.2-liter V-8 that produces 385 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, though a 430-hp 7.3-liter V-8 and 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V-8 with 475 horsepower and 1050 lb-ft of torque are both available. Either rear- or four-wheel drive is available, as is a six- or 10-speed automatic transmission. Super Duty trucks can tow up to 24,200 pounds, but reach 37,000 pounds with a fifth-wheel and gooseneck hitch.
The 2022 Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks will be on sale this summer. Ford declined to comment on when they’ll receive a refresh with the new Pro Power Onboard generators available on the 2021 F-150.Tested: Chevy, Ford, and Ram HD Pickup Pull-Off

General Motors has filed to trademark a new Buick logo with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Unlike Buick’s current logo, the three shields in the new one are horizontally aligned instead of diagonally.The trademark filing doesn’t mention if the new logo will have colors or be monochromatic.The Buick brand has been trying to reinvent itself over the past several years, between deleting exterior name badges and switching to an all-SUV lineup. Now, the company appears to be preparing to adopt a redesigned version of its traditional tri-shield logo. The news comes after it was discovered that General Motors filed a trademark on March 16, 2022, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Based on an image of the new-look logo that was submitted with the filing, the three shields are now aligned horizontally instead of diagonally. The diagonal stripe inside each shield has also been swapped for a downward-swooping line, and the ring that previously surrounded the trio of shields has been removed.
Buick
The current Buick logo features one red, one silver, and one blue shield. However, we don’t know whether or not the new logo will see the return of that color combination or if it’ll be monochromatic. After all, Cadillac recently revealed a new black-and-white logo for its upcoming EVs. Plus, Buicks have worn monochrome logos before, and the application specifically states that GM didn’t claim color as a feature of the mark, so it remains to be seen.What also remains to be seen is what Buick model the new logo will be introduced on. The trademark application still needs to be assigned to an examiner, which is said to take about six months after the filing date. Depending on the length of the process, maybe we could see the new logo start appearing on 2023 model vehicles, or the company could be waiting to unveil it on a potential future model like the all-electric Electra. The timing could be coincidental, but GM at the end of last year filed to trademark the “Buick Electra” nameplate.
Buick
If Buick does adopt the new-look logo, it’ll be the second time in the past decade that it has revised the tri-shield insignia. Back in 2015, the brand announced a design change that at the time featured wing-shaped elements and brought the return of the three-color shields. It debuted on the 2017 Buick LaCrosse sedan and then proliferated across the lineup starting with the 2018 model year.
