Monterey Car Week 2026: 3 things to watch as the crowds descend
Every year, Yahoo Finance attends Monterey Car Week, and it keeps getting bigger and bigger — and not without some controversy. The week, spanning 10 days leading up to Sunday's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance classic car competition, is expected to bring in more than 100,000 visitors to the Monterey Peninsula. While it's good for the economy, some locals have grown weary of all the visitors to the peaceful setting and, of course, the new generation of car fans. Even the world-famous Pebble Beach competition is in the midst of a shake-up. But the people are here to see priceless classic cars,

Mercedes Loses Ground in China's Premium Auto Market
After decades of winning over Chinese buyers with its German engineering, Mercedes-Benz Group AG sold only 1,153 units in China in the first half of 2026, a fraction of the more than 80,000 similarly priced SU7 sedans Xiaomi Corp. delivered in the period. The performance echoes the challenges BMW AG, Volkswagen AG and Porsche AG face in China, where they all reported second-quarter sales declines of at least 30%, worse than the overall market's drop.

Is Rivian Stock a Buy as R2 Growth Collides With Heavy Cash Burn?
Rivian Automotive Inc. RIVN is entering a pivotal phase as R2 deliveries begin to widen its market while spending remains high. The company raised 2026 delivery guidance to 65,000-70,000 vehicles, with volumes expected to accelerate in the second half. The upside rests on better factory utilization, software profitability and strategic funding. The counterweight is a still-loss-making automotive business, negative free cash flow and substantial capital needs. Rivian's R2 Opportunity Meets Execution Risk R2 is Rivian's most important near-term growth driver. Customer deliveries began in June 20

Two VW Engineers Pleaded Not Guilty to Rivian Insider Trading. A Judge Already Scheduled Time For Them to Reconsider
Two VW Engineers Pleaded Not Guilty to Rivian Insider Trading. A Judge Already Scheduled Time For Them to Reconsider Michael Stamp and Marcus Plank stood in a Manhattan courtroom on August 4 and said two words: not guilty. If that sounds like breaking news, it isn't. A not-guilty plea at arraignment is closer to a formality than a declaration of innocence, and everyone in that courtroom already knew it. The more interesting story wasn't spoken out loud. It was sitting in the court file, written down before either man ever walked in. The Auto Wire covered the underlying case last month: two Vol

How the page works
How to read the score
It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean a balanced tape or that direction has been withheld for insufficient evidence; the status label distinguishes them.
Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.
Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.
The page describes completed evidence available at the stated time. It is research context, not a forecast, recommendation, target or execution instruction.
