The pair pledged to work together to build \u201caffordable\u201d battery-electric vehicles set to hit the road in 2027.

Toyota revised its U.S. sales forecast down by 1 million vehicles as supply chain issues continue to plague the industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, prices for materials have more than doubled in some instances meaning car prices are going to remain high \u2014 and the lack of materials, specifically semiconductors, means inventories \u2014 and by extension sales \u2014 will remain low, according to officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 is just like its forefather, the Hummer H2: Big, brawny and off-road capable. Of course, the new model is also the complete opposite: fast, quiet and comfortable. And where the original was a complete gas hog, today\u2019s version uses no gas at all. More importantly, this four-wheeled contradiction may be the most impressive machine on the road today, says Managing Editor Michael Strong. However, it\u2019ll do anything you ask it to do, including traipsing up and down a mountain or racing from 0-to-60 mph in 3 seconds. Now all you need is about $120,000 to get one.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-image-1-3\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"997\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1968-Lincoln-Mark-III-1024x997.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-222651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1968-Lincoln-Mark-III-1024x997.png 1024w, https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1968-Lincoln-Mark-III-400x390.png 400w, https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1968-Lincoln-Mark-III-768x748.png 768w, https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1968-Lincoln-Mark-III-1536x1496.png 1536w, https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1968-Lincoln-Mark-III-300x292.png 300w, https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1968-Lincoln-Mark-III-398x388.png 398w, https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1968-Lincoln-Mark-III-812x791.png 812w, https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1968-Lincoln-Mark-III-1226x1194.png 1226w, https:\/\/thedetroitbureau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1968-Lincoln-Mark-III.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The 1968 Lincoln Mark III redefined the brand&#8217;s styling language for decades.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Strong continues by looking at what\u2019s making news this week and, in a nutshell, it\u2019s the New York International Auto Show.

Stellantis will host its annual meeting as well, but those events aren\u2019t always newsworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a look at this week in automotive history, we see this week in 1940, GM unveils the Buick Y-Job, the industry\u2019s first concept car. Built on a Buick Super chassis and using its 5.2-liter eight-cylinder engine, GM design chief Harley Earl drives it until 1951.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1947, Henry Ford dies at his residence, Fair Lane, in Dearborn following a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 83.&nbsp;In 1968, Lincoln introduces the Continental Mark III, a successor to the 1956 Continental Mark II. A major sales success, the Continental\u2019s styling influences Lincoln design for decades.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more the industry\u2019s history and more by listening to TheDetroitBureau\u2019s latest edition of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/detroit-bureau\/episodes\/Headlight-News-for-the-Week-of-4-11-22-e1h1on5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Headlight News podcast by clicking here<\/strong><\/a>.
