Hyundai decided to do things the old-fashioned way at this year’s New York International Auto Show. It’s become the industry norm to provide journalists advanced embargo news releases allowing them to prep stories ahead of time. But Hyundai left everyone guessing until it lifted the covers at its Wednesday morning press conference at the Jacob Javits Convention Center. Hyundai Boulder Concept Adam Lynton &a

Seeing the Genesis G90 Wingback Concept in person at the 2026 New York Auto Show makes one thing clear: Genesis is done playing nice, and they're ready to push the envelope. Genesis unveiled the Wingback Concept back in December, 2025, and we thought that'd be the last we'd see of it. Fortunately, we were wrong. It still carries the DNA of the flagship Genesis G90 luxury sedan, but the proportions of an estate car, and surprising performance potential. Finished in a deep green shade, the example

The most powerful production Subaru ever has arrived as the 2027 Subaru Getaway, a three-row electric SUV that shares its underpinnings with the Toyota Highlander EV. But while the Toyota produces 388 horsepower, Subaru's take on the electric family SUV puts out an impressive 420 hp. That power goes to all four corners (19-inch wheels in front and 20s at the back) through a dual-motor setup, regardless of trim, and enables 0-60 mph in under five seconds. It also allows the Getaway to tow up to 3

Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving the Corolla Cross Hybrid crossover in North America. Approximately 74,000 of these vehicles are in the U.S., which excludes non-hybrid models. The problem is linked to the vehicle alert system in affected Corolla Cross Hybrid models, which could increase the risk of a crash with a pedestrian. It’s a similar issue to what Chevrolet experienced with the Equinox EV last year, whereby the silent running of these electrified vehicles poses a safety hazar

Walking the Ferrari Tightrope Throughout the years, Ferrari has released some of the most iconic cars in automotive history, and it would be a crime to leave out the F40. So when Mike Burroughs of StanceWorks announced in 2024 that the shop would take on an F40-based project called the F40 EVO, many wondered whether it might draw the automaker’s attention, given its reputation for blocking customers whose actions could undermine its brand image. That concern grew further after Ferrari sent Stanc

Looks Like a Model Y The Tesla Model Y L is an evolution of Tesla’s most popular car, stretched and modified to accommodate six passengers. Initially a China-exclusive, it's now available throughout Asia and Oceania, and I was given a chance to check it out. It’s not an entirely new car, but rather a strategic extension of an already successful model, one that fixes the biggest problem with the standard Model Y: space. The car has been modified behind the B-pillar. The stretched wheelbase and bo

Built Tough, Wired Wrong Toyota debuted the next-generation Hilux late last year with several updates, including a switch to electric power steering (EPS), which enables lighter low-speed operation while supporting more advanced driver-assistance features. Just months later, the model is being recalled due to an issue linked to the EPS system. According to Toyota Australia, approximately 13,390 ninth-gen Hilux units fitted with a Toyota Genuine Accessory bull bar or nudge bar with a light bar ma

Oh, We Know It’s Coming It has been a while since we last heard anything concrete about the returning Mitsubishi Pajero a.k.a Montero. Its comeback has already been acknowledged, as well as its name, but what’s been missing is a proper timeline. Thankfully, details from Down Under shed light on this gap. According to dealer sources cited by Carsales, the new Pajero is set to make its global debut sometime in the third quarter of 2026, likely around August or September. Pre-orders are expected to

In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, Dodge has unveiled a special edition of the Durango known as the GT America250 (A250) Edition. Already the leading three-row SUV for sheer muscle—the Durango is the cheapest V8 SUV you can buy—the new A250 is available in V6 and V8 variants, while adding a host of patriotic visual flourishes. It aligns well with the automaker’s desire to lean into high-horsepower performance and its status as one of America’s oldest car brands. Related: Ram 1500 Cel

Chrysler released images of the 2027 Pacifica in February, revealing a sharper look for the only competitive product the automaker has sold in years. But we’ve had to wait until today for the official unveiling of America’s favorite minivan—it outsold all rivals in 2025. With the launch of the 2027 Pacifica, the base LX model also takes the place of the Voyager, which was sold as a more affordable minivan for a limited time. Whether a refreshed Pacifica is enough to keep Chrysler afloat until th

Those looking for a compact crossover that can handle a bit of off-road effort and return strong fuel economy figures may want to take a look at the latest offering from Subaru, the 2027 Forester Wilderness Hybrid. It's the first Wilderness hybrid yet, and although Subaru's hasn't announced estimates EPA figures at this time, the automaker says it will deliver up to 25 percent better fuel economy. We expect the numbers to be similar to those of the U.S.-built 2026 Forester Hybrid AWD, which retu

Across the Atlantic, the cheapest all-electric Kia is the EV2, which starts around the $31,000 mark, but it's too small for American buyers, so today at the New York International Auto Show, Kia has revealed the stylish new 2027 EV3. The automaker calls it a "right-sized all-electric entry SUV," and with up to 320 miles of range and a native NACS port opening up access to most charging stations, it seems like a decent runaround. All-wheel drive is also available, so it can be used in the winter,

The New York International Auto Show is upon us, and some of the biggest news comes from one of Kia's smallest products. The 2027 Seltos subcompact crossover has made its U.S. debut with more space, more powertrain options, and more safety tech, not to mention styling clearly inspired by that of the Telluride midsize SUV. For its second generation, there's also more off-road capability, thanks to greater ground clearance and a new Multi-terrain AWD mode (on certain models), and more screen real

The Scout Direct Sales Drama To say that dealers don't like direct-to-consumer sales is a massive understatement. Of course, the main reason is that it has the potential to put them out of business. With that, dealers have been filing case after case against Volkswagen of America for its direct sales plan for Scout Motors. Talk about birthing pains. If anything, the cases filed so far have been attracting far more attention to the brand than Scout's actual products. There have been a few wins fo

After 8 Years, the 8er is No More After the barrage of new models from BMW, we can't help but feel that the 8 Series had become the most overlooked car in its lineup. If anything, some might even be surprised that it's still on sale. Well, it won't be around for long anymore, not that most people would notice. Back in July 2025, we reported on a special edition of the 8 Series for the 2026 model year, mentioning that it was possibly its last hurrah. Turns out, it was true as, according to CarBuz

The Overland Cruiser The Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series, widely known as the Troopy, is one of the most respected utility vehicles ever built. Designed for durability, it has earned a reputation as a bush taxi in remote regions and a go-anywhere platform for overlanders. Its boxy shape, body-on-frame construction, and simple mechanicals make it ideal for harsh conditions where reliability is critical. Powering most modern 78 Series models is Toyota’s 4.5-liter V8 turbo diesel engine (1VD-FTV). It

Luxury Exclusivity When you reach a certain status in life, you want to distinguish yourself from the rest. Such is the success of luxury brands, appealing to those who want what others can't have, and the same holds true for cars. This is why some brands offer bespoke services for their customers; brands like Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Maybach, and others give clients the freedom to customize and modify. Alfa Romeo is offering such an experience for select customers in a land of opulence.

Fired From Work, Then Things Escalated Troubling incidents involving car dealerships often involve disputes with manufacturers or incidents like large-scale thefts. This Ford dealership in Clay, New York, however, is dealing with an unusual case after a former employee allegedly fired shots at the showroom and slashed several tires. According to CNY Central, Dylan Young, 26, had been fired from Davidson Ford of Clay for insubordination before allegedly committing the act, which is believed to ha

A Rare Second Chance at a Sold-Out Hypercar Most of us will probably never spot a Bugatti Mistral W16 anywhere but an auto show, much less think about owning one. With just 99 built for the world, every single car was claimed before production started. Even if you had the budget, buying straight from Bugatti isn’t on the table anymore. Then again, the used exotic car market never fails to surprise. A 2025 Mistral is now up for grabs via TBTFW, giving anyone who missed the first round a second sh

You are going to get Tech Segments, tips and tricks, racer interviews, and more throughout the week and into the weekend. T

Our friend John Jackson is back at it with another great feature shoot video, but this time it’s with something even more rare than his norm. This 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham is one of just 400 built in ’57, with another 304 built in 1958. These cars were the most expensive car in the United States at the time, with a price tag just north of $13,000. Keep in mind that an Eldorado Barritz was just over $7,000 at the time, and that was an ultra high end machine. But this one right here is some

Off to a Great Start While we're not expecting it to sell in the same numbers as the X3, the iX3 is already generating strong buzz for BMW. The electric crossover has garnered over 50,000 orders even before it reached showrooms in Europe, and its reach is slowly but surely expanding worldwide. That said, we could expect those orders to grow soon. BMW has announced it has added an entry-level version of its EV crossover, making it more accessible to a wider audience. Complementing the 50 xDrive i

Lines Are Being Drawn Canada’s decision to let Chinese automakers enter its market under lower tariffs and in limited numbers has further strained relations with the U.S., as the Trump administration has threatened Canada with steeper tariffs. Now, the tensions appear to be escalating further after U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra said Chinese-made electric vehicles would not be allowed to cross the border. Automotive News reported that the decision to block those vehicles from crossing t

Richard Holdener is back at it with even more fun turbo tech. While turbo sizes are pretty simple, compressor maps are not necessarily as easy to understand. If you have an engine that can use a 76 mm turbo, that doesn’t mean that just any 76mm turbo will work well. Sure, any of them will help the engine make more power but if you want great drivability and big power then you’ll need to choose the right A/R. Watch the video below and you’ll get a crash course in efficiency. Video Description:

The popularity of Lil Gangstas is absolutely insane, and we love it. Not only because it is good, fun, close racing, but also because the fact that Jimmy and Poland convinced the no prep world to go index racing is just awesome. If you aren’t familiar, Lil Gangstas is a small tire, no prep, 5.30 index, 1/8th mile class. The goal is the make it to the finish line before the guy in the other lane, and to do so without going quicker than 5.30. Go 5.29 and you are out and your competitor wins. It’s
