Toyota Has 'No Plan' To Kill the Supra
You've probably heard rumors about how BMW intends to kill off the Z4 once the current generation of the roadster runs its course. The sporty convertible will supposedly go out of production in 2026 without a successor planned. Where does that leave the mechanically related Supra? The temptation is to think Toyota will also retire the Z4's coupe sibling, but apparently, that's not going to be the case. In an interview with CarExpert, a Toyota official was crystal clear regarding the fate of ... Read more

The Subaru WRX tS Approaches STI Greatness
If you're confused by Subaru's sporty model nomenclature these days, we forgive you. Everybody knows the WRX—while mention of the letters S-T-I brings tears to the eye of any self-respecting Subaru enthusiast—the recent medley of GT, TR, and tS trims haven't yet earned their place in the pantheon of performance acronyms. Last year, the WRX TR appeared. Subaru took the seats and some other premium appointments from the WRX GT but made the TR available with the six-speed transmission ... Read more

2025 Audi Q6 Sportback E-Tron
Pioneered by BMW with the original X6, the SUV masquerading as a coupe entered the electric era a few years ago. Audi already has two niche models in its portfolio, the Q4 Sportback E-Tron and the Q8 Sportback E-Tron. For the 2024 Paris Motor Show kicking off today, the Four Rings have prepared the middle child, the Q6 E-Tron Sportback. As its name implies, it's a sleeker iteration of the 2025 Q6 E-Tron we saw just a few months ago as a sister model of the new Porsche Macan. Compared to the ... Read more

The First Twin-Turbo Lamborghini Revuelto Makes Double the Power
The Lamborghini Revuelto is a worthy successor to the Aventador that it replaces. Fans had feared that the automaker would neuter the car and drop the V-12, but Lamborghini kept it alive for the new model, instead augmenting the engine with three electric motors. Aftermarket tuner Underground Racing plans to further alter the hypercar's V-12 by adding its potent titanium twin-turbocharger system, which it previewed in an Instagram video published yesterday. The upgrade should double the ... Read more

You Need to Take the Lamborghini Urus Hybrid Seriously
I’ve never really taken the Lamborghini Urus seriously. It has the flashy looks to back up the badge, sure, but with an engine and chassis borrowed from Volkswagen Group and an interior clad in Audi switchgear, the original Urus could never evoke the same passion as Lamborghini’s low-slung, high-revving sports cars. That thinking changes with the Urus SE, the SUV’s first hybrid variant. New for 2025, the SE (pronounced ess-ay) brings a host of visual improvements and, most importantly, a ... Read more

Toyota Sells More Than 800 Camrys Every Single Day
As a follow-up to my recent article about how the death of cars has been greatly exaggerated, one sedan is still very much alive and kicking: The iconic Toyota Camry. Toyota recently published Q3 2024 results in the United States where the Camry continues to climb the sales charts. The no-nonsense family hauler was up 1.7% to 22,934 cars. Even more impressive is the Camry’s performance through September, rising by 4.4% to 227,576 vehicles. That brings me to a short math exercise. There were ... Read more

Ford F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E Get Free Home Charger And Installation
Ford knows that it has a long road ahead for getting more of its customers to go electric.

Those include, Ford officials said, a lack of understanding about the benefits of home charging; an overestimation of ... Read more

The 2025 BMW X3 Goes Hybrid
Three generations and 20 years of success—that, in a nutshell, is the BMW X3. The mid-sized luxury SUV has been nothing short of formulaic perfection for the German manufacturer since its debut. In 2023, it was still the brand's best-selling vehicle globally, even though the third-generation model had already been on the market for seven years. Now, however, it's time to move on to the fourth-generation model and find out whether this new SUV has the credentials to continue the X3's success. ... Read more
