In a roundabout way, Ford even led us to believe the ...
If you grew up with supercars plastered on your bedroom wall, chances are the Lamborghini Diablo was front and center. That wedge-shaped body, the mid-mounted V12, and a presence that screamed ‘look at me’ – it was the stuff of ‘90s dreams. And now, a small outfit from San Marino wants to bring ...
With off-roading so popular these days and street trucks having been nearly nonexistent in recent years, it would be easy to assume that the new Ram 1500 Rumble Bee was developed merely to test the waters or fill a niche, perhaps winning back customers who left after the Hemi disappeared for the ...
It’s barely been a year since Gordon Murray Automotive dropped the S1 LM, but the company’s already back with another supercar.

Roadkill Nights is where you go for tire smoke and big horsepower. This year, Dodge did not disappoint, rolling out the 2027 Charger Super Bee – a 600-horsepower beast packing a twin-turbo 3.0-liter straight-six. But it wasn't just muscle cars and horsepower overload. Chrysler crashed the ...
The past couple of new models from Rezvani have seen a slew of armored trucks and SUVs. Models such as the Tank and Fortress wouldn't look out of place in a combat zone, and it just needs a couple more layers of armoring before they could actually see action. But let's not forget that the ...

There are just some cars you don't mess with; these cars are at the level of reverence and status that they must be kept as close to original as possible. An example is the Ford GT, the brand's halo car, the very best they have to offer. It took years and millions of dollars to craft and create ...
Stellantis’ strategy in the U.S. makes Jeep and Ram clear priorities. Such a strategy inevitably puts its other brands sold in the country on the back foot, but Fiat might carve out a path of its own. The brand is doubling down on tiny “cars” as micromobility continues to grow in the U.S. CNBC ...
Nobody expects to walk out to their car and find the emblem missing off the front. The newest target for thieves appears to be something apart from wheels, stereos, or even catalytic converters. Just a small circular badge that most owners would assume is worth about as much as scrap metal. Except ...
You'd think that every new generation of a performance model would mean that the brand ensures it's faster than the outgoing one. However, there are several key factors as to why that might not be the case; it all boils down to the overall package of both models. Ram's been making a big deal about ...
With hybrids becoming more popular, especially in the U.S. amid a slowdown in EV sales growth following the expiration of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit last year, automakers appear to be exploring ways to get more out of their powertrain setups. Last month, a Porsche patent application was ...

The Hemi V8 is very popular for good reasons. It’s simple to wrench on, pops up in everything from muscle cars to burly Ram trucks, and you’ll never run out of parts or advice. But not every Hemi gets to cruise through life trouble-free. The 6.4-liter version, in particular, has its fair share of ...
Pickup trucks have long had a reputation for being overly rugged and delivering a rough ride. To some extent, that is true, partly because their body-on-frame construction and suspension systems are designed for workhorse duties. However, automakers have evolved their trucks to offer ...

But then there's Mitsuoka, the quirky little automaker famous for transforming everyday Japanese cars into some of the wildest creations on the road. Now, Mitsuoka is cooking up another ...
In many ways, the BMW M2 carries the spirit of the original E30 M3. It's small, two-door only, and it can get rowdy when pushed. Practical performance isn't its main priority, and it's actively participating in production car-based motorsport. As the M3 is now the size of a '90s M5, the M2 is as ...
Showing one's love and fandom for their automotive brand is normal; it's an affiliation people do. Brands acknowledge this by releasing special-edition items like memorabilia and clothing.

VR isn’t just a couple of random letters in Mitsubishi-speak. The badge first showed up on the Galant VR-4, a car that made its name with a performance edge and the Viscous Realtime 4WD system. Now, the VR name is back – but don’t expect another rally-bred sedan or fire-breathing performance car. ...

The TeslaCybertruck may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when discussing off-road trucks – especially when dedicated models such as the Ford F-150 Raptor exist – but it is still as capable of tackling unpaved terrain. Visually, though, its wedge-shaped profile and stark stainless-steel ...

The 964-generation Carrera RSR 3.8 sits apart from other rare 911s. Porsche built only 51 examples, and these weren't lightly modified street cars, they were turnkey competition machines meant to go racing straight from the factory. But two of the 51 cars took a different path. A Porsche VIP ...
When the Smart ForTwo came out decades ago, it ushered in a new era for proper micro city cars. It practically invented the segment, and was born out of the need to zip around a heavily congested city, mainly sold in Europe. However, the micro-car segment went through tough times, with people still ...
California has the biggest market for cars among the 50 states of the U.S. You could say that U.S. market vehicles are built for Californian standards first, then the rest of the country later, which is a big point of friction for many automakers. The strictest emissions rules in the U.S. can be ...
About 45% of the vehicles that will be sold in the U.S. this year will come with turbochargers, at least 7 million overall. And they’re a great way to balance performance and fuel economy. But turbos do have their drawbacks. Stomp on the throttle from a dead stop and you may find yourself waiting ...
AI may bring several benefits, such as helping Nissan cut vehicle-development times by more than half, but the technology also comes with trade-offs. In the U.S., the expanding deployment of Flock cameras has raised privacy concerns because the system uses AI and machine learning to identify ...

Hyundaifacelifted its popular Tucson crossover last year, and the 2026 Tucson carries over unchanged. If you weren't looking at them next to each other, the updated Tucson doesn't look drastically different than the previous one, and that's by design. An all-new model is currently in development ...
If you sat in a new Mercedes-Benz vehicle recently, you’ve noticed that there are more screens than ever before—and their size has expanded massively too from only a few years ago. The tri-screen MBUX Hyperscreen setup, for example, which can measure up to 56 inches wide in some high-end ...
Earlier this year, Toyota made it clear that it wasn't losing sleep over China's growing wave of affordable vehicles. Company executives argued that low prices alone wouldn't be enough to challenge Toyota's reputation for quality, reliability, and long-term ownership experience. But in South ...

But that's exactly what two drivers allege in a new federal lawsuit against Mercedes-Benz. The class-action ...
The era of accessible transportation is effectively dead, and buyers are feeling the crushing financial strain. Because affordable cars have vanished from dealership lots, desperate Americans are forced to sign massive loans just to get behind the wheel. The barrier to entry keeps rising at an ...
There’s a new Lexus LFA coming – that much is clear. It’s gorgeous and has plenty of the visual drama you would expect from a modern halo car, at least in concept form, although it came with one polarizing detail: it was announced to be a fully electric supercar. But now, a report out of Japan ...

Hybrids and EVs are the kings of the global car market now, with most manufacturers reporting electrified ...
Seat belts are supposed to be the no-brainer safety feature – click, tug, and you’re good to go. But what if the belt itself decides to throw a curveball and doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to? That’s exactly what’s happening with the latest recall for the outgoing Dodge Hornet and Alfa Romeo ...
Subaru is riding high on a wave of massive showroom success, but the automaker is currently gearing up for an even bigger behind-the-scenes transformation. Driven by a recent sales surge fueled largely by the unstoppable Forester and Crosstrek, the Japanese brand is officially bringing its ...
Ever since the Honda Prelude returned, the internet's been quick to call it a Civic in a fancy suit. Sure, there's some truth there, but that's not the whole story. Under the skin, the Prelude grabs more than just the Civic's bones – it nabs a bunch of Type R hardware too. We're talking ...
As far back as the 1910s, General Motors had some form of presence in China. It was Buick that helped plant the seeds of GM in the Middle Kingdom, which explains why the name holds prominence over there. GM was also instrumental in the growth of the Chinese auto industry way back in the '90s. ...
