As the automotive world edges closer to an all-electric future, some brands are making the most of their high-performance internal combustion engines before they bid them farewell. The 2025 Audi RS3 and Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing are prime examples of this, both featuring a unique combination of performance features that almost put them in a league of their own. Turbocharging unites them, but from there, they're wildly different: five-cylinder to V6, AWD to RWD, manual to DCT.

While everyone expects blazing performance from a bright-red sports car, it’s those understated sleepers that’ll surprise you. And one of the most compelling of the bunch is the new Mercedes-Benz AMG C 43 4Matic sedan, a distinguished but not outrageously expensive four-door family automobile that just happens to have a Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1-derived engine under the hood—one of the most powerful 2.0-liter motors in the world.

You're probably wondering how in the world we can claim a Toyota is more luxurious than a purpose-built Mercedes-Benz S-Class. We can't blame you either, as the Toyota in question isn't sold anywhere outside its home country of Japan. Those in the know may realize what we're on about, so we'll quit beating around the proverbial bush and cut to the chase.

BMW M cars. Since 1978, they’ve come in all shapes and sizes: mid-engined supercars, coupes, saloons, estates, SUVs; and packed everything from zingy four-pot engines to howling V10s.

It's been so long since I've had a Mini test vehicle, I wasn't even doing luggage tests yet. So it is certainly momentous that the Mini brand makes its luggage test debut with the biggest damn Mini ever," the 2025 Mini Countryman. The last-generation Countryman wasn't actually, um, mini, but this one is 5.1 inches longer than that. And therefore, it's 13.1 inches longer than the original Mini Countryman that people harped on for being too damn big.

With the increasing popularity of "subcompact" SUVs, it's time to clear the air. These are not really SUVs at all. They are hatchback cars with a little more ground clearance than a passenger car. Automaker marketing teams want to call every vehicle an SUV right now because SUVs are popular and sell better. Plus, a hatchback carries a connotation of an economy car, which the Mercedes-Benz GLA certainly is not.

For a number of years, a company called Centurion Vehicles based in White Pigeon, Michigan, created a handful of models that The Blue Oval didn’t at the time – including large SUVs based on the F-Series, not to mention oddities like van/pickup conversions with dual rear wheels.

The 2024 Porsche 911 Carrera is the base model in the model's lineup, but there's nothing entry-level about it. Looking at its stats, the 911 Carrera is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat six-cylinder engine that produces 379 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque.
