The Ford Mustang needs no introduction, and in 2024, it is somewhat in a class of its own. It returned for 2024 with its V8 engine intact and even better than before, refusing to follow the Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger to the grave. Ford already gave us the Shelby Mustang GT500, it unveiled the GT3 race car and even gave the world the Mustang Dark Horse.

The Dodge Challenger, a relatively latecomer to the muscle car scene, debuted in 1970. However, its reign as a performance icon was short-lived.

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.

Although the Honda Civic has made recent headlines with its new hybrid powertrain, the beloved Si trim is sticking around, joined by its own 2025 refresh. The Civic Si has never been short on fun, revered as a reliable, comfortable and affordable commuter angled more towards the performance-inclined. While not as “to the wall” as its Type R sibling, the Si is sporty enough for most enthusiast drivers thanks to its peppy engine and, best of all, six-speed manual transmission.

There's a new supercar maker on the block. Nilu27, a brand founded by Koenigsegg and Bugatti designer Sasha Selipanov, has just revealed its first car: the NILU.

It even has gullwing doors.

Earlier this week, 2024 Dodge Charger EV pricing allegedly leaked, claiming that the all-new model was slated to start out at $68,570 in R/T guise, and $82,170 for the Scat Pack. These prices positioned the new Dodge Charger EV far above the 2024 Ford Mustang, and in fact, one could almost purchase two new EcoBoost models for the price of one new Charger. However, Stellantis responded to this leak by revealing 2024 Dodge Charger EV pricing itself, showing that the “leaked” figures were a bit off.

Mitsubishi first began selling Cordias, Tredias, Starions and Trucks in the United States for the 1983 model year, and an Americanized version of the Pajero SUV followed a year later. This was the Montero, and sales of the first-generation version continued here through 1991. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of the very first Monteros to reach our shores, found with some customizing touches in a Northern California car graveyard recently.
