Well . . . The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Is Back Again for 2026
Dodge revealed details for the 2026 Durango lineup, quashing rumors that the current generation would end after 2025. In addition to carrying over the current generation for at least one more year, Dodge also announced the return of the V-8-powered R/T and SRT Hellcat Durangos. Pricing for the GT and R/T models is unchanged from 2025, starting at $40,490 and $51,990, respectively, while pricing for the SRT Hellcat won't be revealed until later this year. Dodge did it again. When it launched in 2021, the 710-hp Durango SRT Hellcat was only supposed to stick around for one model year. After taking a year off, Dodge's executives must've realized their stack of money bags was quickly dwindling, so they pivoted and brought the Durango Hellcat back for 2023. Then again, for a final year of production in 2024. And, as money is a hell of an enticement, once more with a slew of final editions for 2025. If you haven't caught on to the theme yet, the Durango is back for a final, final, final, final edition for 2026. Stellantis Okay, so Dodge isn't actually mentioning anything about final editions this go-around of the Durango SRT Hellcat, which could mean they're planning for more than one year of production. The brand is promising to release more details about the seven-seater Hellcat in the third quarter of this year. Along with the high-powered model, Dodge released details on the rest of the 2026 Durango lineup, which includes the V-6 GT model and the V-8 R/T trim. The GT carries over to 2026 unchanged, down to the price, which starts at $40,490. The R/T model adds two new wheel options and brings back the $5990 Tow 'N Go package as a stand-alone option. There's also a new $3495 Blacktop Redline package that adds 20-by-8.0-inch Black Noise wheels, blacked-out badging, and special SRT spoilers for the front and rear. The R/T trim starts at $51,990, the same as last year. Order books for the GT and R/T are scheduled to open in June, with cars arriving in dealerships sometime in the third quarter of this year. Jack Fitzgerald Associate News Editor Jack Fitzgerald's love for cars stems from his as yet unshakable addiction to Formula 1. After a brief stint as a detailer for a local dealership group in college, he knew he needed a more permanent way to drive all the new cars he couldn't afford and decided to pursue a career in auto writing. By hounding his college professors at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, he was able to travel Wisconsin seeking out stories in the auto world before landing his dream job at Car and Driver.

Buffalo man sentenced for purchasing stolen Paypal, Venmo, Amazon account information
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Buffalo man was sentenced to over three years in prison for purchasing stolen account information from Paypal, Venmo, and other companies, in addition to a drug charge, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Between March 2020 and May 2021, 43-year-old Corey Robert Dodge allegedly purchased 14 packages on an illicit online marketplace known as Genesis Market. The market works by retrieving account information from malware-infected computers around the world and selling it for bitcoin. Stolen credentials purchased by Dodge included accounts for Paypal, Venmo, Chase, eTrade, eBay, Amazon, FedEx, Walmart, Etsy, and Tracfone. During a search at his residence for evidence related to the Genesis Market, Dodge was found to be in possession of fentanyl and other drugs. He was sentenced to three years and five months in prison and was also ordered to forfeit $27,000 related to the crimes. He was originally convicted of possessing 15 or more unauthorized access devices with intent to defraud and possession with intent to distribute cocaine.

Karim Reyad murder trial postponed to September
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — The trial of Karim Reyad, charged with murder in a crash in 2023 that killed a 66-year-old woman, was postponed to September after a defense attorney on Friday said an expert witness was still working on the case. The trial, which had been set for next month, is now scheduled for Sept. 2. Reyad, 20, is alleged to have been driving more than 100 mph while impaired by marijuana when his Dodge Challenger slammed into a Honda Civic near the intersection of Campus Park Drive and Evening Star Way in southwest Bakersfield. The Honda's driver, Gayla Sue Price, was pronounced dead at the scene of the April 18, 2023, crash. Reyad is charged with second-degree murder and gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, among other crimes. Vigil held for 11-year-old boy hit by a car in East Bakersfield There is no standard legal measurement for impairment by marijuana — something Reyad's attorneys have raised at prior hearings. They've also questioned the reliability of witness statements and data obtained from the heavily-damaged Dodge. A prosecutor has said Reyad's driving behavior on the day of the crash and the days leading up to it rose to the level of implied malice required for the second-degree murder count. Reyad bought the Dodge on April 12, and replaced the tires twice before the crash because he performed frequent burnouts at his home and other locations, according to his statement to Bakersfield police investigators. A week before the collision, he was arrested on suspicion of driving while impaired by marijuana. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Trump eyes stricter limits for China's tech sector: What to know
Tensions with China are rising again as President Trump accuses Beijing of violating its trade deal. Trump also signaled that more tech restrictions may be on the way. Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Jennifer Schonberger breaks down what Trump said in the Oval Office on Friday and where negotiations stand. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination here. President Trump saying China violated its trade deal with the US. And this comes as the Trump Administration reportedly plans to widen restrictions on China's tech sector, according to Bloomberg. Yahoo! Finances Jennifer Schonberger joins us now with the latest, Jen. Josh, just moments ago, in the Oval Office, President Trump reiterating that China violated part of an agreement with the United States, but that he hopes to speak with Chinese President Xi, and that, quote, hopefully, we will work something out. Of course, this coming after the president tweeted something very similar overnight, and after Treasury Secretary, Scott Benson, said late Thursday that talks with China have, quote, stalled a bit. We've got a little bit of color earlier today from U.S. Trade Representative, Jameson Greer, who said that China has been reluctant to export those critical minerals, and has been slow-walking on export licenses. Of course, all of this coming after the Appeals Court granted a reprieve for the president and the White House on the tariffs. The U.S. International Court had ruled, uh, or late Wednesday evening that those tariffs were illegal under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the president praising the stay approval of that stay from the Appeals Court today in the Oval, saying that without tariffs, and the power and leaving tariffs unchecked, we wouldn't have a country or an economy. Take a listen. We have a lot of countries that use tariffs on us, and use them viciously, actually, viciously. And if we didn't have the power to use tariffs on them, and instantly, not when you go back to Congress and try and get hundreds of people to agree on something, it, it would take months to get just one simple proclamation. All of this coming during a 50-minute press conference in the Oval Office that ended just moments ago where Elon Musk was alongside President Trump, that event being billed as sort of a farewell to Elon Musk as he leaves the government. That it was made clear that, while Musk is officially leaving, he is still going to serve in, in an informal capacity as an advisor to the President. Musk telling reporters that Dodge is just getting started, and that he fully expects a trillion dollars in savings by the middle of next year. The President himself saying that he expects, uh, Musk to come and go, that this is his baby, referring to Dodge. And for those who were wondering why there was a bruise on the side of Musk's eye, well, apparently he got punched in the face by his 5-year-old, guys. Yeah, that was a bruiser, Jen, for sure. Yeah, that was a bruiser, Jen, for sure. Hey, touché. It, it, it's interesting, Jen, how, as you pointed out, and I wanted to ask you about this. It does feel like, as you're reading the headlines, the temperature being raised, and it feels a little bit like all of a sudden, Jen, like across the board. It's not as you point out, it was, it was just the president this morning, he goes on social media, and he's talking tough. And then you have the Bloomberg report, and then, as you noted, on top of that, you got Benson telling Fox News, an interview, publicly saying he's unhappy, he's frustrated, everything. I think he used the word stalled referring to those talks. What do you make of the kind of coordination of it? Am I reading too much into it? And what do you think comes next? Josh, you know, it's always tough to sort of read the tea leaves on this without actually knowing what's going on behind closed doors. But it clearly appears that they're hitting a wall with China at this, but I do at this point, I don't think that the Treasury Secretary would have said that stock, the talks have stalled a bit. And so the president, knowing how he uses his playbook, is probably going back in and trying to reassert pressure on the world's second largest economy, to bring them back to the negotiating table in the way that the U.S. wants and the president sees fit. Of course, just my two cents here, looking at, as you said, how the pressure has been dialed back up here over the past week or so. And it's not just been China, right? It's been Europe as well, as we approach that 90-day, uh, mark in July. So just about a little over a month to go here though. Those negotiations still ongoing despite the legal whiplash that we've seen this week as well. And we're just gonna have to see how this plays out. Sign in to access your portfolio

Our Dodge Charger Daytona EV Had a Curious Case of Unintended Acceleration
There are certain things in my life that I simply expect to work the same every time. Water coming out of my kitchen faucet when I turn it on, for example, or the repetitive banality of a Hallmark holiday movie. A vehicle's accelerator and brake pedals would be on that list, too. Yet disappointingly, Edmunds' all-electric 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona couldn't get that right recently. Let's call this the curious case of a Dodge Charger's unintended acceleration. I'll get into it, but some background first. This Dodge Charger is part of Edmunds' One-Year Road Test fleet. These are vehicles that Edmunds' editorial team drives and lives with for a year (sometimes more), so we can better report on what the ownership experience is actually like. We bought our 670-horsepower Charger for $85,965 a few months ago, and I had been driving it for about a week in late May when the following situation occurred.
