The latest Toyota Camry is the ideal combination of old and new. It may be based on the platform of the previous Camry, but this ensures reliability. On the other hand, its standard hybrid powertrain and smart design are obvious improvements over the old one. With all of this in mind, it’s no surprise that the Camry remains one of the best-selling sedans in the country. You can still buy a new one for under $30,000, but if you’d prefer to go the leasing route, Toyota has lease deals running on t

What Is It? The Sealion 6 DM-i is BYD's entry in the compact crossover market. Mind you, BYD does have a lot of cars that are in that segment, but the Sealion 6 is, by far, one of its more popular models. It's also known as the Song Plus in its home market of China and Latin America, and the Seal U over in Europe. There are loads of trims and powertrain choices to choose from, from plug-in hybrid to full electric. The Sealion 6, in its current form, came out in 2023, although the original model

Tesla-Style door handles get their day in Congress A U.S. lawmaker is proposing legislation that would effectively require automakers, including EV firms like Tesla and Rivian, to address genuine safety concerns with electrically-operated flush-mounted door handles directly; a design element popularized by the Elon Musk-led brand. The Securing Accessible Functional Emergency Exit Act, or SAFE Exit Act, was introduced on the floor of the House of Representatives by U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02)

We're getting silly numbers out of cars these days. We have boosted four-bangers and hard-charging turbocharged V8s on top of modern hybrids that can put out decent numbers without sacrificing efficiency. Simply put, we're getting more power with smaller engines and electrification. That puts V12s in a precarious position. It could be said that having that many cylinders has become pointless, but it's all the more reason we're glad some remain. With that, here are the few V12s you can still buy

Ferrari’s newest front-engine V12 hasn’t even had time to cool off, and flippers are already treating it like a royal asset. A 2025 Ferrari 12Cilindri coupe showing just 274 miles sold for for just under $700,000 via duPont Registry, revealing how the market values Maranello’s latest 12-cylinder flagship. View

Ford is preparing to do something that we thought was impossible in today’s EV market – undercut Chinese vehicles. The brand is targeting a starting figure of around $30,000 for its next electric pickup. For context, the best-selling electric truck of 2025, the discontinued Ford F-150 Lightning, started at roughly $55,000. Rivian’s R1T and the TeslaCybertruck sit even higher, comfortably north of $70,000. So how does Ford plan to pull that off? According to an exclusive interview with MotorTrend

Uber is set to become the next ride-sharing service to launch driverless robotaxis, announcing plans to partner with tech developer Nuro and EV maker Lucid at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show. For its part, Lucid doesn’t want things to end there.

The Most Extreme Defender That Money Can’t (Yet) Buy Land Rover is back at the Dakar Rally with a machine that doesn’t hold back: the Defender Dakar D7X-R. Built for the new Stock category, this is the most extreme Defender yet – and you can’t buy one, at least not now. It’s a pure competition car, stripped of comfort and loaded for one thing: surviving the toughest terrain Dakar can throw at it. One of the standout features is Flight Mode. Switch it on, and all the driver aids step aside, letti

Steve Magnante is back at it, at Backyard Auto in New Hampshire to check out another great muscle car shell. This is a 1965 Dodge Coronet 440, and while it didn’t come with a Hemi under the hood, it is the exact body that would have been used to build them in 1965 and that means you could build your own out of this one right here. These are incredibly expensive cars if they are real 990 Race Hemi cars, and we know of one of the finest in the country that is for sale right now for 6 figures. Che

Back on the Lot In addition to the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee midsize crossover equipped with the new turbocharged inline-four Hurricane engine, the American marque has also begun delivering the all-new Cherokee. One of the first customer-bound units has arrived at Cross Jeep ChryslerFiat in Kentucky, where sales consultant David Figg showcased the compact crossover on his Facebook page. The 2026 Cherokee now rides on Stellantis’ STLA Large architecture, which also underpins other Jeep models such

There are a lot of differences between your average body shop paint and bodywork and something that someone like Kevin Tetz would do for a high end project. Sometimes projects don’t require, or deserve, insanely perfect bodywork and paint. But even if your project isn’t super high end there is some merit in making sure your body panel gaps are good. They don’t have to be tiny like a car that would come out of Hollywood Hot Rods, Rad Rides by Troy, or Chip Foose’s shop, but that doesnt’ mean you

When the guys at Iron Trap Garage pick up a new project, they sometimes find themselves with stuff that most people wouldn’t try to save. They have an eye for what something can become and, because they try to build everything to be period correct, they aren’t afraid to cut things up and fix repairs or modifications that have been done over the years. It isn’t always the easy way, but it is the right way and they are good at it. In this video they are taking a drag chassis from one of their pro

Tupac Shakur’s taste in cars was anything but subtle, and few vehicles capture that better than his customised 1996 Hummer H1. The four door hard top pickup, widely described as the last vehicle he ever bought before his death in September 1996, is returning to the block with Bonhams Cars at its Scottsdale sale on 23 January 2026. For hip hop and truck fans alike, it is a time capsule from the final weeks of his life and is expected to fetch up to $450,000.

Two-thirds of Detroit's Big Three have just learned the hard way that over-investing in electric vehicle technology before the market is ripe for selling them — albeit in a bid to get a jump on the competition — is a multi-billion-dollar mistake. After Ford announced a whopping $5.1 billion loss from its EV business alone in 2024, General Motors has posted even worse figures, with the automaker expecting to "take a $6 billion hit as a result of its stalled electric vehicle transition," reports t

Volvo has just reported its annual sales for 2025 in the United States. It was a mixed bag for the Swedish brand last year, with overall sales declining by 2.9% to 121,607 vehicles. Electrified vehicle sales were down significantly, yet EVs alone increased. However, the vehicle with perhaps the most impressive achievement of the year is the XC90 three-row crossover. Despite the second-generation model having been in production for over a decade, the XC90 achieved the nameplate’s best annual sale

Niche Experts Maserati, as a brand, conjures up emotions of passion, style, performance, and flair. Typical for any Italian automaker, but Maserati is that little bit more special; it blends the performance heritage, style, and luxury into what is now essentially a niche brand. That niche in particular is style with luxury, and a new special edition model highlights those core strengths: the new Maserati Grecale Cristallo. This new special edition model was debuted by the brand in their hometow

The current BMW X6 has been around for a good few years now, but it’s still one of the German brand’s most emotive SUVs. It’s a potent performer, but it’s also got substance—so much so that a 2025 J.D. Power study rated it the most satisfying new car to own in America. The X6 isn’t cheap, though, but BMW is running lease deals on both X6 trims that are worth a look. Here’s everything you need to know. This Month’s BMW X6 Lease Deals

A quiet success When New York City flipped the switch on congestion pricing in early 2025, the backlash was immediate and loud. Critics warned it would punish drivers, hurt businesses, and simply push traffic into surrounding neighborhoods. One year later, the data tells a very different story. By most measurable standards, New York City’s congestion toll is working — and working better than many expected. Fewer cars in the heart of Manhattan The congestion pricing program officially launched on

ADX on a Steady Start The Acura ADX is the newest member of Acura’s US lineup, rolling out last year as the brand’s entry-level crossover. Slotting under the RDX and MDX, the ADX targets customers who want to step up to a premium badge without breaking the bank. Sales for the ADX landed right in the middle – not a runaway success like the RDX or MDX, but with over 20,000 units moved in its first year, it’s earned its spot. Acura wants to keep that steady momentum as it heads into 2026. Trim Driv

Tesla Owners Silicon Valley wanted to see what happens when you actually shoot a Cybertruck’s “bulletproof” glass, so they brought the truck, some serious firepower and Tesla design boss Franz von Holzhausen to Taran Tactical’s range. The twist is they did not test Tesla’s stock glass at all. Instead, the video is really a showcase for Armored CyberGlass, an aftermarket ballistic window package that finally tries to match the Cybertruck’s tank-like image.
