Sebago Lake is the largest, and deepest, lake in the state of Maine and is known for it’s clear water. Because of the conditions there, it is a favorite spot for under water explorers using submersible drones. And that’s how the Camaro was spotted. A drone operator named Jason Smith was exploring and saw a shadow that drew his attention. It turned out to be a 1974 Z28 Camaro that looked to be in amazingly good shape. Looks can be deceiving however, so check out the story below. If you are wonde

New Japan-Market Honda Odyssey May Be Coming Minivans continue to win where it matters most. Practicality, comfort, and everyday usability still outweigh the image-driven appeal of SUVs for many families. Features like sliding doors, flexible seating, and superior interior packaging make them easier to live with every day. The Odyssey has long embodied that formula, prioritizing function over flash while still delivering a composed, car-like driving experience. At this stage, there are no offici

New Model Offensive It's no secret that BMW has a barrage of new models coming in for the 2027 model year. After all, it's keen to keep its lead in the U.S luxury car sales rally amid challenging market conditions. Next year will be buzzing with activity, and that's good news, indeed. A few months ago, a list of new models was accidentally leaked, revealing at least seven that we can expect to appear in showrooms soon. Of course, there's the ix3 and the facelifted 7 Series, along with some surpr

The Signals Are Getting Harder to Ignore When we first covered the long-wheelbase Tesla Model Y L, it looked like a market-specific experiment. The added seating and stretched proportions hinted at a family-focused direction. At the time, Tesla kept quiet about any U.S. plans. The product existed, but only for China and other Asian markets. That left American buyers still choosing between the standard Tesla Model Y and the outgoing Tesla Model X. As reported by Teslarati, a trend has emerged amo

Simulated Shifts, Real Demand When Hyundai first introduced simulated gear shifts and engine sounds in the Ioniq 5 N, it seemed like a gimmick. But after spending time behind the wheel, it’s clear why it's become a popular feature in new EVs. The system restores a sense of connection and feedback that most electric cars just don’t offer. For drivers who grew up associating performance with the rhythm of shifting gears, this brings back a familiar feeling. Unsurprisingly, other automakers are tak

Still Awesome It's been a while since the Ford Mustang GTD first made headlines, but the specs are still as impressive as ever. With everything that's been done to it, the GTD is more road-legal race car than hotted-up Mustang. Those extensive and comprehensive changes to the chassis include a bespoke arrangement with pushrod suspension at the back, adaptive spool-valve dampers, a wider track, and more. Of course, those changes will be for nothing if it didn't move fast. So, at the heart of the

Jeep established an indomitable reputation for building capable off-road SUVs with the original CJ and subsequent generations of the Wrangler. In 2003, the automaker elevated that perception with the even more capable Wrangler Rubicon. It was upgraded with purpose-built hardware straight from the factory, transforming the SUV into the ultimate adventure vehicle. Around 23 years later, Jeep has just hit a major sales milestone for Rubicon-badged models—including the Gladiator Rubicon—with one mil

Another Recall, Different Problem Not long ago, the Jeep Wagoneer S was recalled for a tailgate problem that could detach without warning. Now, Stellantis is issuing another recall for the same model, this time alongside the all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona. This time, the issue isn’t about a physical part failing. Instead, it’s about the instrument cluster – the main screen behind the tiller. While the last recall was about a part that could fall off, this one is about what drivers can or can

Forecast totals for the Pikes Peak summit reach as much as 35 inches over three days, though the official Winter Storm Warning for the broader Rampart Range zone covers 8 to 16 inches. Late April normally means the snow tires come off. This week, southern Colorado and northern New Mexico get the opposite, and the timing is awkward in a specific way. The storm hits the higher elevations first, then the snow level drops to 7,500 feet by Friday morning behind a cold front. Roads that look wet at 6

In March of this year, we learned Ferrari was working on an even sharper-handling version of the Purosangue. Already an extraordinary sports car in SUV drag, the Purosangue is now available with a new Handling Speciale configuration. Available on request, the package retains the 715-horsepower output of the V12 but enhances the vehicle’s responses, the sound of the already explosive engine, and the handling characteristics. There are also a few new styling flourishes to distinguish this sportier

Supercars do get stolen. But a Koenigsegg One:1? That is almost unheard of. The disappearance of one owned by former Formula 1 driver Adrian Sutil is no longer just speculation. New details shared by VFTE confirm that the Swedish hypercar is now part of a worldwide search, with Interpol's help. What makes this case even more unusual is the chain of events that reportedly led to the Koenigsegg leaving Sutil’s possession in the first place. A $22 Million Megacar Vanishes

Volkswagen’s new generation of electric vehicles is here and it all starts with this, the all-new ID. Polo subcompact hatchback. By using the well-established Polo name VW is hoping consumers will warm up to the new EV more easily, but if that doesn’t do the trick, the pricing most likely will. That’s because the ID. Polo will be the brand’s cheapest EV yet with a starting price of 24,995 euros (approximately $29,250) in Germany. Another reason to like the new ID. Polo is the new “Pure Positive

Toyota builds everything from lightweight sports cars like the GR86 to everyday staples like the Camry. But at Field Style Tokyo 2026, the focus shifts away from flashy concepts like the Celica Sport and toward something more grounded. Instead of headline-grabbing show cars, its Land Cruiser Base division is bringing two one-off SUVs, both named "Urban Style," that explore how these icons can be reimagined for city life. Heritage Icon Reworked: Toyota Land Cruiser 70

Hyperscreens Are Here to Stay For those hoping that Mercedes-Benz would dial down the Hyperscreen over time, we have bad news for you. The German automaker is sticking to its guns when it comes to that matter, so don't expect simplified interiors from the brand any time soon, or ever. Autocar recently spoke to Mathias Geisen, Mercedes-Benz's head of sales and marketing, regarding the matter. If anything, it's set to double down on the whole thing, and we wouldn't be too surprised if we end up wi

Loss of Steering A vital part of driving is steering, so when an owner/driver experiences a loss of that ability, panic and safety ensue. There are multiple reasons a loss of steering might occur, ranging from a system issue to a software glitch. Tesla is no stranger to owner complaints about various issues pertaining to its cars. In the case of two unlucky 2023 Tesla Model Y owners, the issue arose from something far more alarming. According to these owners, their Model Y's steering wheel came

Built on Innovation Saab was one of the most innovative automakers that didn’t survive to the present day. While the Swedish marque is often remembered for later models like the 9-3 and 9-5, it also helped pioneer the practical use of turbocharging in everyday cars. There were likely other projects that never made headlines, including one in which Saab developed a unique V8 engine. According to a report from The Autopian, General Motors shelved that powertrain in favor of its own V6 engine. It i

This is so awesome! The Monaco Historic Grand Prix is one hell of an event, and it’s back after a few years off! If you dig old race cars, you are going to love this. And the way that it is organized at Monaco is something special. They organize the F1 races based on years, and they livestream the entire weekend. We shared the livestream already, and if you missed it then use the link below. But if you just want to see the independent races, we’re going to share those as well, and the first one

Hyundai has given its flagship sedan a fresh update, refining a nameplate many American buyers may not even realize still exists. Known today as the Grandeur and previously sold globally as the Azera, this full-size luxury sedan shares similar DNA with the Kia K8, and it targets the same segment as the Genesis G80, BMW 5 Series, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. It may not be sold in the U.S. anymore, but it reminds us just how far Hyundai has come. The brand is even doubling down on design, recently b

Audi is slamming the door on the budget-conscious buyer. After a combined run of nearly 2.3 million vehicles, Audi has officially terminated production of the A1 hatchback and the Q2 compact crossover. This isn’t a temporary pause; it is a calculated execution, in the medieval sense, of the brand’s entry-level lineup, allowing them to funnel buyers toward higher margin models, while also freeing up assembly space for electrification.

Mercedes went in a new direction when it launched the current generation (R232) of the SL-Class in 2021. Far sportier in the way it looks and drives than what came before, all versions of the SL are designated as AMG models. This marked a distinct change in philosophy relative to the new SL’s predecessors, which were powerful but typically viewed as plush grand tourers. But Mercedes is working on a facelifted SL that will move closer to the iconic nameplate’s GT roots. At the same time, this cha

Suzuki may have had a change of heart (again) regarding the electrification of its quintessential, no-nonsense off-roader—the Jimny mini SUV. You may recall that in 2023, at the presentation of its product roadmap for Europe until 2030, Suzuki teased the launch of an electric off-roader that had the unmistakable boxy silhouette of a Jimny. At the time, the automaker projected a battery electric lineup consisting of five models, including the Jimny (see presentation slide below).

The Price Is Right? EV sales have been stagnant as of late, while the current crisis in stable oil prices has prompted buyers to consider EVs, sales haven't really exploded just yet. Key indicators of the overall EV sales slump have mostly pointed to the cost of these vehicles. In fact, most argue that EVs are now cheaper than gasoline, but advise looking at secondhand options rather than brand-new ones. Given that price is a big factor for buyers, it would make sense to keep prices low to entic

Out of Business EV startup, Bollinger, is facing a court order that will officially put it out of business, possibly for good. The company's assets will be auctioned off to cover its unpaid bills. Suppliers sued and won, so the court is now ordering the defunct EV company to sell its assets to pay what it owes. Founded in Hobart, New York, in 2014, Bollinger Motors aimed to develop an electric off-road vehicle. Taking cues from classics, Bollinger's first few efforts looked a lot like the class

Rivian Turns Up the Value Rivian’s projected volume seller, the all-new R2, is currently open for reservations, with the top-spec Performance trim arriving first. The electric vehicle maker is also sweetening the deal with a limited-time Launch Package for the R2 Performance, adding several features at no extra cost, including Autonomy+ for the lifetime of the vehicle. Autonomy+, similar to systems like General Motors’ Super Cruise, provides advanced driver-assistance features, including Univers

Humble Beginnings Mitsuoka is known as Japan's "off-center" automotive manufacturer. It is responsible for some of the most memorable-looking and genuinely unique cars ever, using new car models as a base and retrofitting a classic exterior design, making them Mitsuoka creations. What started out as a small shop back in 1968, Mitsuoka is now regarded as a true automotive manufacturer in Japan, and its latest new model is a manual version of the Honda Civic, celebrating Mitsuoka's long car-making
