Cadillac aims high with new limited build programs
General Motors is certainly no stranger to the notion of a custom-built car (the COPO Camaro started as just such a thing). While the mass-market assembly line makes it far more difficult to produce a truly bespoke modern automobile, that's a problem that can be solved by throwing resources — say, $36,000 per car or so — at the problem. That was GM's pitch for a very special series of 2024 CT5-V Blackwings, hand-assembled to spec for just 21 highly valuable customers. Whales, in other words. Big ones.
What is a CVT?
CVT stands for Continuously Variable Transmission, a type of automatic transmission that lacks a set number of gears or “speeds.” Instead, this type of automatic can vary the gear ratio infinitely between its lowest starting ratio and highest cruising ratio. Doing so allows the engine to run at its most efficient rpm for the vehicle speed, road grade or load condition that’s present at any given time.

Mitsubishi off-road Delica van, outdoorsy Outlander variant planned for US market
If you haven't been paying attention, you may be surprised to hear that Mitsubishi has been doing fairly well in the United States over the last several years. Once a mid-major (to borrow a college athletics term) program here in the States, the automaker's stagnating lineup and lack of vehicles with clear desirability — once you got past the hardcore Lancer Evolution series, at least — led to declining sales figures through the 2000s. The brand's more recent resurgence, led by the latest Mitsubishi Outlander and Outlander PHEV, which it co-developed with fellow Japanese partner Nissan, first began around the year 2018, says Mitsubishi North America President and CEO Mark Chaffin. "Momentum 2030 will build on that, setting the stage for new powertrains and vehicles being introduced, new dealerships being opened, and new technologies being developed to make the shopping and ownership experience faster, easier and more enjoyable."
