As Ford looks toward the future of affordable EVs, the answer could be in its recent past.

Why Ford Could Revive 2 High-Volume Vehicles, and Soon

Faulty airbags manufactured by Takata have been a thorn in the sides of safety regulators, automakers, and consumers for years now, as those units were installed in millions of vehicles made by multiple manufacturers for a long time. Even today, years after the largest recall in automotive history was issued over the particular problem, there are still a lot of vehicles driving around with faulty airbags that can rupture and lead to injuries or worse – death. Now, Ford has issued a do-not-drive advisory for many of those impacted models.

Honda was relatively late to the game on electrification. Only now are we seeing the Prologue and Acura ZDX on the road—both of which use GM's Ultium platform. But even as EV enthusiasm wanes, a new bespoke platform for Acura's next electric SUV and an entire range of 0 Series products means Honda has no plans of slowing its EV roll.

Honda's EV Plans Have 'Not Changed'

Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.

Ever since Ford CEO Jim Farley said that the automaker could do “other Mustang body forms,” besides the traditional two-door coupe and convertible models, there has been talk of a four-door Mustang coming at some point in the future. If a new rumor being widely reported is to be believed, we might be closer to that future than first thought.

Chances are if you're at all familiar with cars, you've heard of the Toyota Motor Company. It has been around since the 1930s, delivering cars, trucks, and SUVs of varying quality and price to drivers. Toyota has grown to become a global juggernaut as well, manufacturing its vehicles in multiple different countries. While there are some used Toyota models you should steer clear of at all costs, there are also loads of new and used ones worth buying. Of course, it finds its roots in and is currently headquartered in Japan, so it's no surprise that many of its models are built there.

Starting in 2017, the Tesla Model 3 began paving the way for electric cars to become a mainstream segment. Marketed as being more affordable than other electric vehicles, the 2017 Tesla Model 3 broke barriers and raised bars for the industry as a whole. Like most vehicles, the Tesla Model 3 has depreciated quite a bit since 2017. Now, at seven years old, the 2017 Tesla Model 3 may be the bargain of the year.

MINNEAPOLIS – With GM still heavily committed to electrification, the launch of the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox comes at an awkward time. Not to be confused with the battery-powered and mechanically unrelated Equinox EV, the standard Equinox is not only not electric, it’s not even available as a hybrid. With the ranks of ICE-only compact SUVs rapidly shrinking, one wonders how Chevy plans to keep its mainstream people-mover relevant.

A long-running trend in the luxury car segment has been prioritizing performance over comfort. A lot of the credit for this can be laid at the tires of BMW and Audi, or at least those that followed their lead, especially Cadillac in the mid- to late-2000s. As driving enthusiasts, we generally have appreciated the fruits of this trend (Cadillac builds some of the best sports sedans in the world, good enough for one of our own editors to own). But it does mean that a more traditional, comfort-focused luxury car is harder to find. Genesis, though, has such a car in its 2025 G80, and when it’s in its element, it’s sublime.

The Lamborghini Termerario configurator is up and ready for your imagination with six categories of customization: Paint, Wheels, Roof, Details, Carbon and the lightweight Alleggerita Package. Problem is, the configurator doesn't show pricing, making it tough to know how much you'll need to plunder your offshore account to bring the Italian PHEV home. Lamborghini Talk has the solution (via CarBuzz), a thread at the Sant'Agata-focused forum posting a price list for standard, special and Ad Personam options. Starting with the base price, MSRP has been set at $357,621, about $24,000 above the Huracan STO. There will be another roughly $4,000 for destination, for a subtotal of $361,621, and that doesn't count the gas-guzzler tax, so add another couple grand due to thirst — say an even $365,000 before making the coupe your own expression.
