A Single-Owner Collection Heading to Paris Car collections are as varied as the stories behind them. Some focus on a single era, others chase motorsport legends, while a select few quietly assemble the most significant badges a brand has ever worn. With so much history tucked away in garages around the world, it’s hard to pinpoint which ones really are special. A Mercedes-Benz collection in Europe, however, stands out for its exotic selection of cars – and it’s about to cross the auction block n

A new analysis has revealed the top-selling cars, trucks, and SUVs in the used market over the course of 2025. With the average transaction price of new cars hitting $50,000 in recent months, many consumers are forced to buy used to get the vehicle they want.  The top three spots on the best-selling used models list feature no surprises, with the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and Ram 1500 dominating. After that, though, we can see some deviation from the best-selling list of new cars. Ch

BMW has just become the latest manufacturer to reveal its 2025 earnings and sales figures, and unlike plenty of other European companies like Volkswagen and Mercedes, it has a pretty upbeat outlook on things. Despite the usual talk of tariff headwinds and intense market competition in China, the group, consisting of BMW and its motorbike division, Mini and Rolls-Royce, recorded a 7.7% profit margin – exactly the same as it did in 2024. Overall, it made a net profit of over €7 billion (around $8

Super 'Stang The Ford Mustang's iconic status is undoubtedly one of the things most people generally agree on. Generation after generation has garnered fans and a following, and tuning companies have also used it as a platform to showcase their skills. One of the first to enhance the Mustang is a company equally as storied as the car itself – Shelby American. Shelby and Ford go way back, dating back to the '60s when they started collaborating, winning Le Mans with the GT40. In the years that fol

High Performance Track Toys A key aspect of high-performance ownership has been the ability to take the cars to a track day. Previously, brands could create models that catered to both on-road and on-track use, but as the track day scene grew, manufacturers decided to build models for those who want the ultimate track toys. Lamborghini is known for taking things to the extreme, and the 2022 Essenza SCV12 is a prime example of an ultra-high-performance track toy. Built for a lucky few, one model

One of the cheapest electric vehicles sold in the U.S. has become up to $10,000 cheaper, which accounts for a massive 20% discount. We’re talking about the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV, the compact electric SUV that is already one of America’s cheapest EVs, alongside the 2027 Chevy Bolt and the 2026 Nissan Leaf. As part of GM’s push to boost EV sales after the demise of the EV federal tax credit at the end of Q3 2025, the Equinox EV lineup gets discounts of up to $10,000 this month, with the highes

One of the most affordable SUVs in America has just become $1,000 cheaper, but there’s a caveat. Mitsubishi Motors North America is offering a $1,000 discount on any new 2025 and 2026 Outlander Sport SUV, but only for Tennessee residents. The Outlander Sport is the brand’s most affordable model with a starting price of $24,995 (excluding a $1,795 destination charge). The discount makes it even more affordable, lowering the base price to $23,995 before shipping costs. Only Tennessee Residents Can

Cheap, Cheerful, and Safe The Nissan Sentra is one of the least expensive cars in America today. Starting at just $22,600, it costs just a little more than the Kia K4, slightly undercuts the good ol' Corolla, and is over $2,000 less than a Civic. Admittedly, the brand gets flak due to certain owners driving its products in an over-enthusiastic way. The reality is, the Sentra is a hugely competent compact sedan. Brush aside the undeserved reputation, and the Sentra is a solid, well-equipped car f

Building Up The Community Willow Springs is one of the few tracks most can describe as quaint, situated in Southern California. It has, over the years, served as a venue for racing, but also become a trackday favorite in more recent times. It also has many starring roles in U.S.-based YouTube car videos. Willow Springs is also known as the "Fastest Road in the West" and is considered by most to be the oldest continuously operating road course in the U.S. In 2025, the historic track was bought by

Odd Theft Reports in Australia No country is immune to car thefts, and in the Australian state of Victoria, the most stolen car there is the Holden Commodore. Of course, it's not really a surprise given that it's a hugely popular model. More specifically, it's the 2016 model of the midsize sedan that was stolen the most. Also known as the VF Commodore, America got it as the Chevrolet SS, and as a big sedan with rear-wheel drive, we understand the appeal. Of course, we don't condone stealing a ca

One of Ford’s wildest aero experiments has reappeared in the most everyday place possible. A genuine Ford Probe IV concept, long thought to be lost or scrapped, has surfaced for sale on Facebook Marketplace in Texas, giving a private buyer a shot at a piece of design history that helped steer Ford into the aero era. Facebook Marke

Taking It Up a Notch Aston Martin cars are already some of the most exclusive names money can buy. However, the brand has been eager to showcase its ability to produce extreme machines crafted in line with its principles of luxury, design, and performance. One of the most recent exclusive models was the Aston Martin Valour, made in 2023 to commemorate Aston's 110th anniversary. The Valour itself was already a very unique car, limited to just 110 units, but somebody within the brand felt it could

Porsche’s Sonderwunsch programme exists for customers who want more than options and paint samples. It is the brand’s highest level of factory personalisation, where one-off commissions turn already rare cars into singular design statements. The latest example is a bespoke 911 S/T created for Italian designer and Porsche collector Luca Trazzi, nicknamed “S/T Funky Minty”. At its core, Funky Minty is based on the highly sought-after Porsche 911 S/T, a model already limited to 1,963 examples worl

The 205 GTi's Baby Brother Although it was never sold in America, the Peugeot 205 is a car that resonates with many car enthusiasts around the world. It's often credited as the one that pulled Peugeot from financial troubles in the '80s, and the hot versions have well and truly established themselves as icons. There was the mighty T-16 model that saw much success in rallying, and the GTi that gave the Golf GTi a good scare back in the day. What isn't mentioned as often is the 205 Rallye, but tha

One of the most vocal critics of Tesla's camera-based sensors, used for its semi-autonomous driving systems, has been forced to eat humble pie. Not long ago, Luminar Technologies CEO Austin Russell appeared to be on top of the world. In 2020, he took the company he founded in 2012 as a 17-year-old public, becoming the world's youngest self-made billionaire (at the time) in the process. In the same year, his company landed a massive contract to supply Volvo with lidar systems from 2022 onward, an

It used to be possible to get a large luxury SUV with a manual transmission, but those days are long gone. One of the last such models was the Porsche Cayenne, an SUV that has typically been more engaging than its peers. But after the 2014 model year, the second-generation Cayenne resorted to a full lineup of automatics only, a good couple of years after BMW dropped the manual gearbox from its X5. When a neat manual Cayenne comes up for sale, it usually gets a fair amount of attention, and that’

A Timeless Design All wheelmakers have a signature look to them. For instance, American Racing has those neat five-spoke Torque Thrusts, BBS is synonymous with the weave design, and Rays Wheels? Well, that would be the Volk TE37. Those wheels have a timeless element to them, and they look great whether it's on an old or a new car. Speaking of which, the TE37 turns 30 this year, and the company is celebrating in a big way. A series of campaigns will be rolled out throughout the year, and yes, the

1,000 horsepower Corvettes, from the factory. Man it is good to be an automotive enthusiast in 2026. With more than one offering above 1,000 horsepower, and multiple others not far below that four digit number, there has never been a better time to be a Corvette enthusiast looking to have some fun with your new Corvette. These cars are all very capable of having fun on open track days, club events, etc, and they will definitely be more capable than the average person sitting behind the wheel of

A Different Shade of an Icon The Ferrari Enzo is rare even by supercar standards. It was Ferrari’s flagship in the early 2000s, named after the company’s founder and built with serious F1 tech. Only 399 were made, putting it in the same league as icons like the 288 GTO, F40, and F50. Nearly every Enzo wears Rosso Corsa, but a handful broke the mold. Just 20 cars got non-standard paint, and only nine were finished in Argento Nürburgring. One of those nine is now headed to auction in Monaco – a st

A Factory-Built Flex One of Mercedes-Benz’s rarest creations – instantly recognizable by its 6×6 layout – has surfaced on Bring a Trailer. Approximately 100 examples of the G63 AMG 6×6 were built by Magna Steyr in Austria between 2013 and 2015, but this particular truck stands out further thanks to extensive upgrades from Brabus, which added another layer of luxury and performance to an already extreme machine. Beyond its rarity, the truck’s 6×6 layout delivers improvements in off-road capabilit

One of the rarest modern Lamborghinis has surfaced for public sale, with a 2014 Lamborghini Veneno Coupe listed for $16.9 million on duPont Registry. Built to celebrate Lamborghini’s 50th anniversary, the Veneno sits in a category of its own, even among hypercars, with production capped at just three coupes worldwide. Seeing one offered openly, rather than traded quietly between collectors, is an event in itself. The Veneno was never meant to be subtle, its extreme aerodynamic bodywork, sharp s

At the beginning of December, Stellantis had to recall some 2019 and 2020 Ram pickups, including the 1500, 2500, and 3500, over an airbag problem that could send metal shrapnel flying through the cabin. And now, as the month draws to a close, Ram is being forced to recall its biggest pickup trucks for airbag problems once again, according to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This time around, there's a single malfunction that could result in three different

While long term projects can be fun and rewarding, there is also nothing like a short rehab on a project that makes big progress and has big rewards. Not everyone can afford the time, money, or space that a long term project requires. So when you can spend a couple of days to a couple of weeks doing a rebuild that makes a huge difference for your project, it can be seriously rewarding, AND inspiring. And inspiration makes us want to do more with our projects and I totally approve of that. So wat

In 2026, it will be a milestone 250 years since the United States Declaration of Independence. Chevrolet is one of the first automakers to celebrate this occasion with the launch of the Stars & Steel Collection, comprising five Chevy models. The Corvette, Silverado EV, Silverado Light Duty, Silverado Heavy Duty, and Colorado will each get the Stars & Steel treatment, with various design elements that draw inspiration from the American flag. The collection will also spawn a one-off Corvet

Crème de la crème It's not often that some of the most exclusive and beautiful cars ever made are in the same place. Even rarer is when all of them are on display in that same venue, where enthusiasts and aficionados congregate to admire them. Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este is often considered the most exclusive and prestigious gathering of cars in the world. Starting in 1929 as a showcase for coachbuilt cars, it ended in 1949 and returned in 1995. For 2026, the list of cars is sure to inclu
