Cherokee Nation calls on Jeep to stop using its name

In a written statement responding to an inquiry by Car and Driver , the principal chief of the Cherokee Nation is calling on Jeep to stop using the name Cherokee on vehicles.? "I'm sure this comes from a place that is well-intended, but it does not honor us by having our name plastered on the side of a car," wrote Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr., in the statement. "The best way to honor us is to learn about our sovereign government, our role in this country, our history, culture, and language and have meaningful dialogue with federally recognized tribes on cultural appropriateness." This is the first time the Cherokee Nation has explicitly asked Jeep to stop using the name, having previously not had an official stance. "Cherokee" has been used by Jeep in some form for more than four decades. It's currently used on the Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Grand Cherokee , but the latter is about to be split into two models with the introduction of the thre

2022 Kia Carnival makes American debut with VIP seating, loads of tech

There aren’t many secrets left to be told about the 2022 Kia Carnival. It debuted for the South Korean market in August last year , and additional details have continued to trickle out since then . Nevertheless, Kia is giving the minivan its American debut today (officially killing off the Sedona name ) and providing us with all the U.S.-specific information we’ve been wanting. The crossover-esque styling stays. Frankly, everything we saw previously is representative of what the American-spec Carnival looks like. It’s more boxy, butch and premium than the Sedona in an attempt to play to America’s desire for SUVs, even though it still totally looks like a minivan. There is one big change we’ll point out. Kia says the Carnival will be its first vehicle in the U.S. to wear the new logo . It sits flat on the hood and is also integrated into the rear taillight. This version of the van also has black wheels, which is something we hadn’t seen in photos yet. We’re especially happy to re

2021 Polestar 2 Luggage Test | Bringing the notchback back

The Polestar 2 has an unusual body style: a notchback sedan that's been slightly lifted. Someone probably calls it a crossover because marketing, but whatever the body style in total is, Polestar Part Deux has a trunk covered by a liftback that encompasses both the vestigial "third-box" of a trunk lid and the rear glass. It's what an Audi A7 , Kia Stinger or any number of European "5-door" sedans have.? According to the specs, that trunk has 14.3 cubic-feet of volume, which isn't that great for a 5-door. The Audi A5 Sportback has 21.8 cubic-feet; the Stinger has 23.3. Although I've luggage tested various hatchbacks and crossover-coupe things (including the Mustang Mach-E and E-Tron Sportback ), this is the first notchback/5-door sedan I've done, so we'll just have to make do without apples-to-apples here. Yep, it's a trunk. But before I start piling in the luggage, lets take a look at two key features. First, this handy pop-

Ford previews the next addition to its Western-themed King Ranch lineup

Ford buyers will soon have another Western-themed King Ranch-branded model to choose from. The company released a short preview video to announce the next addition to the range will make its debut on February 24. Posted on Twitter, the six-second teaser asks more questions than it answers. It shows the outline of a car speeding towards the camera on a dirt road, and it cuts to a man's hand moving a dial on a center console. The w-shaped King Ranch emblem that has appeared on numerous models for nearly two decades is visible at the end of the film.? While the video doesn't reveal the car's identity, there are several nameplates that we can safely rule out. Don't expect to see a King Ranch variant of the electric Mustang Mach-E , for example. It's not difficult to imagine a Bronco King Ranch, but the silhouette briefly shown at the beginning of the preview doesn't match the off-roader's. Bronco Sport ? Yeah, it's possible, but its center console doesn&
