2016 Audi A8L Extended

Here are the six must-read, must-watch auto news stories and videos for Tuesday, April 12, 2016.

DART
It seems lately that just about every edition of GCBC’s The News includes an item on FCA’s weak car lineup. Yesterday it was an item on the poor resale value of the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. Late last week we discussed layoffs at the 200’s plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Now we’re learning that Dodge will suddenly alter the Dart lineup, eliminating some trim levels, increasing the base price, and lowering the base price of the turbocharged models. – Automotive News
