A high-tech pocket rocket, this Impulse also features a Lotus-tuned suspension, passive rear-wheel steering, anti-lock brakes, and a functional hood...

The manual transmission may be dying, but the 7-speed manual transmission is all but dead. This peculiar transmission type first popped up in 2012 with the introduction of the 991 generation of the Porsche 911. In that instance, Porsche and transmission supplier ZF engineered the manual and PDK to share many of the same components to help fuel economy and make parts more common along the range. Today, only one vehicle still uses a 7-speed manual in the US, and instead of speed and fuel efficiency, it's built for improved off-road prowess.

These 10 Affordable Sedans Should Last Throughout Your Entire Retirement

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.

Most SUVs are also meant to tow stuff, haul things, and traverse off-road paths with ease. Many families across the U.S. purchase SUVs every day for their practicality and ability to carry their families and cargo to the shopping mall, airport, and sometimes even a camping spot. However, it's not every day that anyone cares how quick an SUV is. By "quick," we mean the vehicle's ability to get up to 60 mph from a standstill in a short amount of time.

Folks can justify needing a compact car, an off-roader, a minivan or a pickup, but convertibles are the epitome of unnecessary. Nobody needs a convertible, or at least that’s what I thought until I drove the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE450 Cabriolet. I’ve always been a sucker for a convertible; my first car was a 2005 Saab 9-3 Cabriolet that I bought off Craigslist for $5,000 and that promptly drained my bank account then died completely. Ever since then I’ve been fiending for another hit of open-topped opulence, and then the CLE rolled up in my driveway.
