The end of the world has seemingly arrived for car enthusiasts as the 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 emerges on US soil, now packing half as many cylinders and half as many turbochargers as before. In an effort to reduce pollution and save the polar bears, the AMG-flavored C-Class sedan ditches its fire-breathing twin-turbo V8 in favor of a turbocharged four-cylinder plug-in hybrid powertrain. This might seem like sacrilege against the worshipers of speed, but don't accuse AMG of heresy until you hear what the new C63 can do.

Four-cylinder engines still don't have the same cachet as their bigger 6-and-8-cylinder siblings, but the auto industry is in love with them. Using a turbocharged 4-pot is an easy way to reach traditional 6- and 8-cylinder power while simultaneously reducing emissions. Although the 4-cylinder might never reach the iconic status of a V8, there are some impressive examples out there.

Not that it really needed it, but there is a new super sports car manufacturer on the market.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ll be aware that multi-million-dollar cars require eye-watering amounts of money just for simple maintenance and servicing, especially if it’s a Bugatti. Over the years, we’ve had many Bugatti owners tell us how insanely expensive it is to own a hypercar. While a 27-year-old recently claimed that his $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Carbon goes a mere 62 miles on a full tank of fuel, renowned entrepreneur and influencer Manny Khoshbin has given a detailed account of the ownership cost of his Veyron in the past. He claimed that all fluids have to be changed each year, and that costs a whopping $25,000.

The owner of a $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron was shocked when the official service center quoted him $12,000 to replace a faulty door mirror switch. The clever owner took it to a supercar specialist who swapped it with an identical part from a Volkswagen van, which cost just $1.

We are unabashed fans of the Lexus LC. With its smooth and sonorous 471-horsepower V8 under the hood, concept car come-to-life styling, and luxurious and detailed interior, there's an argument to be made that it's the finest grand touring car on the market here in 2024. Particularly as Lexus fixed it's biggest niggle - the only thing we complained about.

At this stage, it's safe to say that the team at Porsche knows the Nürburgring like the back of their hands, especially the GT division. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that the German marque has once again demonstrated its engineering prowess by setting a new lap record at the notorious Nürburgring Nordschleife but this time it's not just a thoroughbred GT product based on a best-selling sports car, it's a luxury barge weighing well over 2 tonnes, the 2025 Panamera. This achievement is awe-inspiring given the Panamera's classification as a luxury executive sedan, a segment not typically associated with track-focused performance.

A lady is cautioning others about purchasing budget earrings from Amazon, Shein, and H&M, after she experienced keloid formations on her earlobes due to wearing them.

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.
