The only manual V8 RWD sedan left in America is a compelling proposition all on its own; the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a reminder of what AMG used to be, and after being refreshed for 2025 with new looks and a 33-inch touchscreen, it's on par with German automakers in the interior tech department. The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing didn't get any performance enhancements when it was revealed at the beginning of this year, and we didn't think it needed any, but now Cadillac has addressed the issue with a new Precision Package that promises enhanced handling for all driving conditions.

America's Last Manual, V8, RWD Sedan Just Got Even Better For 2025

Just last month, GM Authority reported that the Onyx and Onyx Lite Packages will both be dropped from the entire 2025 Cadillac XT5 model lineup. With that in mind, it appears as though the luxury crossover is currently unable to be ordered with three accent packages. GM Authority has learned...

It's not a big surprise that the manual-transmission SUV is next up on the chopping block for vehicles sending the manual the way of the dodo. The appeal of the manual gearbox largely has to do with driver engagement. The appeal of the sports utility vehicle is mostly down to convenience in the modern automotive landscape. These two qualities are, if not incompatible, at least difficult to counterbalance. Then you add cost concerns into the mix, and it's easy to see why SUV makers would rather avoid spending millions developing a new stick shift and passing the expenses on to the buyer in a segment that frequently competes on price alone.

There Are Only 2 SUVs Left In America With A Manual Transmission

I’m a big fan of crew cab trucks, and especially those that either didn’t exist or were super rare back in the 1960s. There are a couple of builders in the country doing C50 and C60 GM trucks, where they start with a standard cab truck and build everything to make it into a crew cab. It’s a ton of work, but the guys that are good at it are really good at it. So when I saw this 1960 Ford that Solomon was featuring, I had to share.

The current Lincoln Navigator was last updated in 2022, four years after the new generation had come out. Fast-forward to the present day, the SUV is almost ready to be revealed to the world in a refreshed avatar. While the teaser doesn’t reveal a whole lot, we did spot a refreshed grille with illuminated strips, a slightly slimmer logo, lightbar at the rear.

The Ford Super Duty debuted for the 1999 model year, and hasn’t looked back. Rather, the heavy-duty truck has proven to be a bonafide top-seller and massive profit generator for The Blue Oval, and we’re even starting to see earlier models with low miles pop up at collector car auctions as well. That list has expanded yet again, this time, to include this 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty that has just 39k miles on the odometer.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

On the surface, the difference between the Ford Mustang EcoBoost and the Mustang GT is pretty simple. The Mustang EcoBoost gets a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine and the Mustang GT gets Ford's 5.0L V8, also known as the Coyote V8, which is one of the best ever made. While that is the primary difference between the two pony cars, it goes a bit deeper than that, with all sorts of parts and pieces coming together to create Mustangs with unique characteristics.

We're getting an early look at it thanks to new spy photos, and it most definitely follows the pattern set by the Seven.
