Pickup trucks have evolved from rugged workhorses to luxurious, high-tech machines, with prices that reflect their transformation. Today, only three pickup trucks in America remain priced under $30,000, a sharp contrast to just a decade ago when you could easily find a well-equipped model for the same amount. What was once the domain of affordable utility vehicles has become a market teeming with premium models that can easily surpass the $100,000 mark.

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

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.

When the current fifth generation "R53"Nissan Pathfinder arrived back in 2021 as a 2022 model year car, succeeding the fourth-generation "R52" after nearly eight years, I actually got excited. Not just because I was excited to see its boring, unremarkable, and totally forgettable predecessor go away. But because, in my opinion, the Pathfinder went back to looking like a rugged, four-by-four with its overhaul.

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.

BMW has announced the recall of over 100,000 vehicles manufactured from 2019 through 2021. The recall was issued due to a faulty starter motor in several different models in the BMW lineup. This follows a recent recall for the BMW X3, which had a defective cargo rail, and another for the 3 Series, which had an airbag issue. Despite the high number of vehicles recalled this time, it's estimated that only one percent will have the defect.

Lamborghini is getting ready to unveil the all-new baby supercar, the replacement for the beloved V10-powered Huracán. The Sant'Agata Bolognese-based brand has kept things well under wraps, with nary a leak or juicy teaser hinting at the styling. Now, Lamborghini designer Mitja Bokert has given us a glimpse of an unnamed design, and it's very likely the newcomer, predicted to be called the Temerario. The silhouette is sleek and dramatic, befitting any Lamborghini worth its badge. We can't help but draw comparisons between the new sketch and the Countach LPI 800-4, with a steeply angled rear fascia and a sharp windscreen angle that flows into a low roofline.

In the horsepower arms race, Hennessy is often up at the very top, switching positions back and forth with its rivals. As soon as a record is broken, the team goes right back to reclaiming it.

From what the company has learned from its previous car, the Venom GT, Hennessy hopes to send the F5 to speeds as high as 311mph. Limited to just 24 units, some come in a roadster configuration, just in case you want to know what it’d be like to stick your head out the top of a fighter jet.
