The Nissan Z Is Crushing the Toyota Supra With Triple Sales
The Nissan Z got off to a slow start, partly due to production delays and supply chain disruptions caused by the microchip shortage. Dealer markups didn't help either. But that's all in the past. In 2025, the rear-wheel-drive coupe is performing better than ever. Demand more than doubled in the first quarter, surging 108% to 1,635 units. For the first half of the year, deliveries jumped 160.1% to 3,789 cars. Meanwhile, the Toyota Supra is having a much tougher year. The BMW-engineered sports car racked up just 1,231 sales in the first six months of 2025. The number represents a 17.7% drop compared to the January–June 2024 period. Yes, the Z is outselling the Supra by a 3-to-1 margin. Looking ahead, Nissan won't have to worry about the Supra much longer. Photo by: Toyota Toyota is pulling the plug after the 2026 model year, with a Final Edition limited to 1,300 units. However, a sixth-generation model is already in the works , so the gap between generations is likely to be shorter than before. Enthusiasts in the U.S. certainly won't have to wait another two decades like they did between the Mk4 and Mk5. While the Z and Supra continue to lock horns, the Ford Mustang remains far ahead. Despite a 14.2% decline through June, the pony car still tallied 23,551 sales, more than four times the combined total of the Z and Supra. We haven't forgotten about Nissan's other performance car, the GT-R. Only 37 units were sold in the first half of the year, down 75.5%. That's hardly surprising, as U.S. production ended last October after the final Skyline Edition and Takumi Edition models. Japan closed its order books in late February, signaling the end of the R35. A new GT-R is planned, but it won't arrive anytime soon. If the radical Hyper Force concept is any indication, it could be fully electric.

Another New Recall Does Little Damage to Ford Stock (NYSE:F)
If the news of recalls at legacy automaker Ford (F) is starting to get a bit tiresome, then you are seeing perhaps the biggest problem in its full bloom. Another recall landed at Ford, though this one might be an easy fix. The news meant little to shareholders, who gave Ford a hefty 3.5% boost in Wednesday afternoon's trading.

A software defect in the camera can cause it to fail, which increases the risk of a vehicle crash, and potentially, injury from there. Anyone who has used a rear-view camera recently, and knows what it is like to drive without one—particularly in a crowded parking lot—knows what kind of utility such a camera can offer. Ford noted that the camera could malfunction in one of two ways: the camera could display a blank image outright, or the last image might remain on the display even after backing up is complete. The fix for such a problem should be simple, however. Dealerships will update the camera's software with the appropriate fix, once available. Those whose vehicles are impacted will receive notice in a practice that Ford has had a lot of opportunity to perfect these days. Switching Lanes Meanwhile, BlueCruise—Ford's Level 2 hands-free driving system —is getting an update as well, and delivering some noteworthy new features. The new system can actually perform automated lane changes, which allows it to pass slower-moving vehicles and also get out of the way of faster-moving vehicles coming up from behind. There are some revisions to the user interface set to come in as well, which will offer up reasons why BlueCruise made the moves it did. For instance, it can notify a driver why hands-free driving was shut down. There is, unfortunately, bad news that goes along with this. The new version of BlueCruise, version 1.5, features upgraded Advanced Driver Assistance (ADAS) hardware. Thus, users of older BlueCruise systems will not be able to get the update as their hardware will prove incompatible. Is Ford Stock a Good Buy Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on F stock based on two Buys, 12 Holds and three Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After an 11.81% loss in its share price over the past year, the average F price target of $9.71 per share implies 17.33% downside risk.

Shares of Ford rose 2.7% following its Q1 2025 earnings release on May 5. The company reported adjusted EPS of $0.14 and automotive revenue of $37.4 billion, beating analysts' expectations.
