NEXT-GEN BMW M2 MAY GET AWD AND OTHER NEWS: WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers several significant automotive news items, with a primary focus on the potential for the next-generation BMW M2 to offer an all-wheel-drive option. While this deviates from the M2's traditional RWD purity, the report suggests it will still retain a rear-wheel-drive manual variant, mirroring the M3's strategy. The AWD system is expected to be highly configurable, potentially sending 100% of power to either axle, which could make it a strong competitor to vehicles like the Audi RS3. The update also touches upon Stellantis's upcoming reveals, including potential Dodge Hornet and E-Muscle models, Jeep's 4x4 Day announcements, and the new GMC Canyon's pricing and features. Other news includes teasers for the Honda Pilot TrailSport, Acura Precision EV Concept, Bentley Batur, Lamborghini Urus variant, Aston Martin debuts, Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster, Meyers Manx 2.0 Electric, Ford Bronco Heritage Editions, and F-150 Lightning price increases. Maserati's new 10-year warranty is also discussed, though its value proposition compared to Genesis's existing offering is questioned.
