The BMW X5, now in its fourth generation, is one of BMW’s most popular cars worldwide, and it pioneered the crossover segment for the brand. The generations include the E53, E70, F15, and the current G05. Each generation of the BMW X5 has its own strengths and weaknesses, making it common for potential buyers to ask: Which BMW X5 generation should I buy? In our opinion, the BMW X5 (E70) will always be a solid choice, with some caveats.

For electric vehicles, the efficiency and practical benefits that come with them are what attract most buyers to the segment.

Looking through sports cars in the current era, it is hard to ignore what electric vehicles have to offer. If you have been looking at the classic Mustang to satisfy your speed needs, there are a few EV options that we consider to be a better purchase. When it comes to raw, unadulterated power, the Ford Mustang Dark Horse is still a beast. Packing a staggering 500 horsepower and 418 pound-feet of torque, the pony car rows through a six-speed manual transmission and rockets from 0-60 MPH in just 4.1 seconds, with a top speed of 166 MPH. All this performance starts at a price of $64,630.

Having tested and owned Toyota SUVs for decades, I thought I knew what Toyota’s base trim of the all-new 2024 Land Cruiser would be like. I was completely wrong. This vehicle sets a new standard in the industry for go-anywhere sport utility vehicles. 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 1958 -...

How the Base Trim ‘24 Land Cruiser Surprised This Veteran Toyota Tester

From the July/August issue of Car and Driver. Toyota summoned the spirit of the 1960–83 FJ40-series Land Cruiser and channeled it into the 2007–14 FJ Cruiser. The SUV is underpinned by an altered version of the contemporary 4Runner’s frame and sits on a wheelbase 3.9 inches shorter than its mid-size sibling’s. Approach and departure angles of up to 34.0 and 31.0 degrees better those of the 4Runner and Land Cruiser of the era. A stubby 183.9-inch-long body and up to 9.6 inches of ground clearance make the FJ a nimble and sure-footed companion on unbeaten paths.

The luxury crossover space is a heated one full of options, and in that segment, the redesigned 2024 Lincoln Nautilus has thus far earned rave reviews for both its style and technology. Back in April, Honda’s luxurious division Acura revealed the refreshed 2025 MDX, which competes directly with the larger Lincoln Aviator, and now, it has followed that up with a refreshed Nautilus rival – the 2025 Acura RDX.

In addition to official info from Dodge about what buyers could look forward to on the battery-electric 2024 Charger Daytona, there's been quite a bit of leaked info we filed under Rumormill. That includes specs for First Edition trims from early dealer guides that Mopar Insider saw, a note about a 90-day delay from a purported April opening date for order books, as well as potential pricing gleaned from a photograph of a Stellantis computer. Dodge has come forth with real pricing, and it seems the goalposts have moved little. Let's get the big bit out of the way first, the MSRPs. The 2024 Charger Daytona R/T will start at $59,995 before a $1,995 destination charge, which comes out to $61,990 before options. That's $8,575 below the rumored price we just posted on two days ago. But more on that discrepancy in a moment.

FORD are set to produce a new range of smaller and more affordable electric cars that could replace the Fiesta and the soon-to-be-discontinued Focus. The car giant, who recently revealed the new, all-electric Capri model, are said to be working on a new platform that could see them build a host of new EVs.

With several good electric pickup trucks available today and a couple right around the corner, the 2025 Ram 1500 REV will be the last major debut on the EV truck scene for a while. It’s set to be unveiled in its final production form in the fourth quarter of 2024, promising not only seriously impressive range and towing specs but also superior practicality to the combustion-engine Ram 1500.

Discontinued some time ago, the high-performance Ford Focus RS remains a hot target on the used vehicle market, and more recently, the collector car space as well. In that regard, we’ve seen some nice Ford Focus RS models hit the auction block over the past few months, many of them commanding a premium in the process. That’s certainly likely to be true with this stellar 2016 Ford Focus RS as well, given how few miles it has on the odometer.

The 2025 Ford Maverick just debuted last week, ushering in the compact pickup’s very first refresh. That mid-cycle update brought forth quite a few notable changes, however, including tweaks to the trim level lineup, the introduction of the new, street performance-focused Lobo, a fresh look up front, and a handful of tech and mechanical updates, to boot. As Ford Authority previously reported, order banks for the 2025 Ford Maverick opened up on August 1st, but now, we know when production is slated to begin, too.

Shortly before 3 AM, people in the Chicago area may have felt their houses shake as a 3.4-magnitude earthquake occurred about 60 miles west of the city. (CHICAGO) The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported a 3.4-magnitude earthquake around Somonauk, IL. Somonauk is in DeKalb and LaSalle Counties, 64 miles west of Chicago.

If you are out for a drive and having a good time, it just takes one rock to the windshield to ruin your day. If you get a chip or crack on your windshield, you need to repair it as soon as possible. If you don’t try to patch up the damage soon after it happens, the crack could spread, leading to worse visibility and eventually a full windshield replacement from a repair shop will be needed. But with a DIY windshield repair kit and the right instructions, you can fix cracks yourself. Here is a detailed guide on how to fix a cracked windshield.

Chrysler did very well selling Mitsubishi Forte pickups with Plymouth and Dodge badging in the United States, even after Mitsubishi began moving the same trucks out of their own American dealerships in 1982. The 1987 Ram 50 2WD short bed weighed in at just over 2,500 pounds, so it was reasonably perky with its 2.0-liter G63B four-banger making 90 horsepower… but there's no replacement for displacement! At some point along the line, a Chrysler small-block V8 engine found its way into the engine compartment of this truck, now residing in a car graveyard in Sparks, Nevada.
