It’s time for some awesome pulling truck action, but this is not what you would normally expect. We’re talking amateurs and their drivers trying not to pitch the drivetrain out of it. It’s like spectator drags but on dirt and stuff. I mean what’s not to like about this? If you want to see IFS front ends so crosseyed you can’t believe they are staying together, then this is the video for you. If you want to see video of a square body Dodge giving its all, then this is the video for you. And if yo

Buying one of Cadillac’s $400,000 Celestiq ultra-luxury EVs is no easy task. Firstly, there’s the not-so-small matter of being able to afford one. From there, you’ll need to submit a special purchase inquiry so you may be confirmed as an eligible customer. After that, there’s the long wait for the handcrafted car, which is built at a glacial rate of only two units per day. But one of the first known Celestiqs has become available for public sale via a California dealership. Loaded with options,

A barely driven 2025 Ferrari 12Cilindri coupe with just 214 miles on the odometer is being offered for $699,900 through Ferrari Dallas on duPont Registry, giving buyers a chance to skip the allocation process for Maranello’s newest front-engined V12 GT. The car arrives as the spiritual successor to the 812 Superfast and extends a bloodline that runs from 1960s grand tourers through mid-engined icons like the Dino.

Production Challenges Automotive manufacturing is one of the most challenging forms of assembly. This is an industry with (almost) zero tolerance for building quality products that give customers the best their money can buy. There are some instances, though, where quality control doesn't catch specific build quality issues that might sound minor at first but could actually cause more hassle and damage than initially thought.

(Words and Photos by Darr Hawthorne) • The 2025 MOONEYES Christmas Party Show & Drag rolled into Pomona’s historic In-N-Out Burger Drag Strip, and it kicked off exactly how you’d expect in December—under a thick fog bank that made everything feel a little eerie. Thankfully, the marine layer didn’t last long, and before midday it burned off into one of those perfect Southern California days that make you forget it’s almost Christmas. Once again, Chico Kodama and the MOONEYES crew answered

There has never been a shortage of crash action at a World Rally Championship event, as cars often find themselves off the road, rolling over, slamming trees, and getting stuck in spectacular fashion. It’s a rally thing and these cars are built to take a lot of abuse. It is not uncommon to find a team making repairs after a stage where their car lost a corner or two. If you want to check out the action from the top crashes of the 2025 season, watch the video below and enjoy!   The post 2025

The 2025 World Rally Championship season was something special and like any good WRC event, the drama and action were plentiful. We’re excited to see the season ending highlights that all the racing organizations put out this time of year, and if you like Rally racing of any kind you’ll be excited to see the action in this highlight video below. There is no shortage of action during any stage of a WRC event, so you can imagine how hard it was to choose the Top 5 for the whole season! We love it

The season opening NHRA Gatornationals in Florida was a huge event again in 2026, and the action was hot and heavy. Starting off the 75th anniversary season for NHRA, this race always hits hard and had sold out crowds throughout the weekend. Florida racing fans show up in force, and this year was no different. With every team wanting to hit the ground running, and aiming for as many points as possible this early in the season, the ramifications from this event are huge. Yeah it’s the first race

Audi has given the 2026 A6 TFSI–the gasoline model, not the all-electric A6 e-tron–significant mid-model-year hardware and software updates less than a year after its debut as an all-new model for 2026MY. Audi says the updates improve the driving and ownership experience, closely mirroring the new driver and customer-centric features recently announced for the 2026 A5 and Q5 gas models and the 2027 A6 e-tron and Q6 e-tron EVs. Highlights include a new design for the Audi MMI (Multi Media Interfa

The midsize performance sedan segment is not getting any bigger in 2026. That's because Audi is not planning to introduce a new combustion-powered S6 this year, despite recently giving the all-new A6 several updates, including a new infotainment interface, a revised steering wheel, improved voice control, and more. Edmunds reports that the only middle ground between the A6 and the RS6 for the 2026 model year will be the all-electric S6 Sportback e-tron, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. As

Approved before BMW's ownership of the Alpina naming rights was processed on January 1, this is the final product developed by the Bovensiepen-founded Buchloe-based company. This is the 2026 BMW Alpina XB7 Manufaktur, and only 120 will be made, exclusively finished in hues never before offered on the model. After this, no more XB7 X7-based SUVs will be made, and no more will Alpina be considered a separate entity from BMW. What makes this particularly special for us is that it will only be offer

For just the second time in its modern history under the umbrella of the Volkswagen Group, Bugatti has created a one-off hypercar, and this one is already an instant icon. Last year's Brouillard reflected one owner's immense passion for the Bugatti name and its history in the worlds of furniture design and bronze sculpture, as well as an understanding of founder Ettore Bugatti's love of horses, but this year's Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage is even more significant, paying tribute to the engineering tal

Missing Parts Something many automakers are doing these days is adding a list of features that make their cars stand out. To keep production easy and costs low, most of these features are simple interior or exterior bits, such as badges, lights, and, in more recent times, illuminated badging and emblems. When it comes to some of these unique features, brands offer them as optional extras, meaning buyers really want them and expect them on their brand-new car. The problem is that, somewhere along

The Dodge Durango has always stood out in the three-row SUV segment for its brutish design and high-horsepower engines, and now one of the most appealing models in the lineup has gone on sale. You can finally order the new Durango R/T 392 in all 50 states, which is available in Launch Edition or Launch Edition Premium variations. The highlight is the iconic 392-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which is standard on the Durango R/T for the first time. At just under $50,000, no other gas-powered three-row SUV c

Ford has given its all-electric Explorer—the compact SUV sold in Europe, not its midsize namesake sold in the U.S.—major upgrades that make it better than ever. Built on Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform, the Ford Explorer EV has been enhanced with a new drive battery, a more powerful electric motor, an Explorer Collection limited series, as well as improved ADAS and tech features. More Range and Quicker Acceleration Ford o

The best-selling three-row crossover in the U.S. last year was the Ford Explorer, with 222,706 units sold. The Explorer’s impressive power and comfortable ride have served it well, but the 2026 model is off to a bit of a rough start, having accumulated four separate recalls already. The latest one is potentially serious and involves the possibility of a windshield detachment in a crash. Fortunately, it seems Ford identified the issue before it spread to a large number of vehicles. Here’s what yo

It’s a new name, but familiar roots and power, which is why this may be one of the coolest modern Mustangs ever built. I know that is saying a lot since they recently highlighted the new Mustang GTD, but this one here is like MGD Light was to MGD. This time it’s just with Mustangs, as this one gets many of the unique features of the GTD, including its engine and transmission, along with some sick Carbon Fiber accents. There is a Track Pack option that will be coming, plus a Special Edition Track

The current Honda Civic Type R is one of the best hot hatchbacks out there, but it’s nearing the end of its life cycle. In June, Honda announced the Type R Ultimate Edition for Europe, a limited run of 40 units as sales of the hatch drew to a close in that region. This sparked fears that the Type R would be discontinued in America before the 2026 model year, but we're happy to report that’s not the case. American Honda Motor Co. has just published new pricing information for the 2026 Civic Type

Honda announced a series of updates to the three-row Pilot last month. An important model for the brand, the Pilot competes against newer and edgier rivals like the Hyundai Palisade and upcoming Kia Telluride. We covered the 2026 Pilot’s changes in November, and now Honda has released pricing as the crossover starts arriving at local showrooms. Whereas the 2025 version started at $40,200, the refreshed 2026 Pilot has a base MSRP of $42,195, making it one of the more expensive vehicles in its seg

The Long Beach Grand Prix is one of the coolest street circuit race courses in the world and ranks right up there with Monaco when it comes to racing right along the water. I’ve been several times, both to cover it with video and photos but also to hang out as a spectator. There is a lot going on during the Long Beach Grand Prix, and it’s a big deal for Southern California which is saying something when you consider all the things that go on each and every week there.

Towing the Future with the Past: INEOS Quartermaster and the Pebble Flow Over my lifetime as an automotive journalist, I’ve pulled just about every type of trailer with just about every type of vehicle. But I had never attempted anything like this: towing a futuristic, self-propelled travel trailer with a deliberately old-school pickup truck. It was the meeting of two completely different philosophies, one rooted in rugged mechanical simplicity, the other driven by cutting-edge technology. And s

2026 J.D. Power Most Reliable Vehicles: Every Segment Winner Explained The 2026 J.D. Power U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS) is out. It ranks vehicles based on problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) after three years of ownership, covering key areas such as powertrain performance, infotainment systems, driver assistance tech, and overall build quality. Drawing from real-world feedback from owners of 2023 model-year vehicles, the study provides a practical measure of how cars hold up once the ini
