CAMARO SS SALES BANNED IN CA AND OTHER NEWS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers significant news, notably the sales ban of the Chevrolet Camaro SS and ZL1 in California and Washington due to new copper-free brake pad regulations. While the ban is effective January 2021, vehicles already on lots can be sold, but new orders are prohibited. Chevrolet plans a compliant brake system for the 2022 model year, leaving a significant gap for current inventory. The review also details the production version of the 2022 Acura MDX, highlighting its new platform, improved suspension, larger dimensions, and a refined 3.5L V6 engine praised for real-world fuel economy over a turbo-four. The interior receives a major upgrade with a dual-screen setup and a versatile seven-passenger configuration. Other news includes a refreshed 2021 Nissan Armada with updated styling and interior tech (though the infotainment screen is not a touchscreen), a revised 2021 Nissan Kicks with a sportier look and standard safety features, minor updates for the 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata, and the upcoming 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali featuring SuperCruise. Toyota and Lexus tease new electric SUVs, Mitsubishi reveals the next-gen Outlander, the Chicago Auto Show is postponed, and the Ford Bronco launch is delayed to summer 2021, with the manual Sasquatch package pushed to the 2022 model year. Finally, McLaren plans to reduce its limited-edition models, focusing on future hypercars like the P1 successor.
