The gas bags are out, gas cars are back in. For years we heard it from elites: EVs were the future. The EPA, The New York Times, Jennifer Granholm, Will Ferrel, automotive media – they told us in unison that the world was going electric and, if the US didn’t follow, it would be left behind. EVs were inevitable. Until they weren’t. What elites forgot was the US became the world’s richest economy– not by following the rest of the planet’s socialist lemmings over a cliff – but by giving consumers choice in a free market. In 2025, EV demand waned. It’s not that shoppers don’t like EVs, they just like gas cars better. 2 min. Originally aired December 18, 2025 on the Auto Report, 910AM-Detroit WFDF

Car shoppers had plenty of choices in 2025 as auto grocery shelves were teeming with goods. At The Detroit News, we’re biased towards value, style, innovation, and performance - and we choose our Vehicle of the Year accordingly. As Detroit News auto critic, I tested 59 new cars this year from the compact, $24,000 Nissan Sentra gas-sipper to the posh, $82,000 Lucid Gravity EV. For Vehicle of the Year, I reduced that list to three finalists: Mazda CX-30, Chevy Corvette ZR1, Dodge Charger SIXpack. 2 min.
