For 2025, the Toyota GR Corolla returns with the turbocharged three-cylinder engine and its stupendous 300 horsepower, but this sport compact car also makes 295 pound-feet of torque, a 22-pound-foot increase that was previously restricted to the 2023 Morizo special edition. A close-ratio eight-speed direct automatic transmission has been added...

V8s get a lot of attention when it comes to enthusiast cars, but the humble six-cylinder has become remarkably prevalent in an era where downsizing and turbocharging give you more power with a lower cylinder count. The six-cylinder strikes the balance between four and eight by providing a mix of an engine that can be smooth, reliable, and highly tuneable in the right scenarios. Six-cylinder engines in automotive use are typically found in four configurations:

As we’ve discussed recently, some automakers are having a difficult time producing entry-level electric vehicles that are both affordable and profitable. But that’s an issue for automakers, not consumers. While lease terms and pricing might be a bit higher than what we saw in Q2, there are still some fantastic deals out there right now like this offer on the Volkswagen ID.4.

Kia has a new K8 sedan on sale — for the Korean market, at least. It didn’t exactly set American buyers’ hearts racing when it was on sale here, but the Kia Cadenza was a solid midsize sedan that offered premium features at a budget-friendly price tag. The brand’s midsize sedan didn’t kick the bucket entirely when the Korean automaker withdrew it from the U.S. market in 2020, but it’s instead lived on as the K8. Now, the Korean market Kia K8 gets a bold mid-cycle update, with dramatic styling and a host of interior tweaks to boot.

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

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 2024 Lexus LC 500 is hands down the most beautiful sports coupe on the planet. With its chiseled front end, sweeping lines and flared rear fenders, it looks like a four-wheel rocket ship.

                The LC 500 is also one of the few sports coupes available as a convertible, and it looks smashing with the top down.

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.

Koenigsegg Pulls 3-Cylinder Engine Option From Gemera, Keeps Twin-Turbo V8

V-8 sports sedans are on the decline these days. Not because of bad sales, mind you, but mostly because of ever-stricter environmental regulations that are forcing automakers to either downsize and turbocharge their engines, go the electrified route through hybrids, or both, to achieve V-8 levels of performance. This has meant that V-8 sports sedans are downsizing into six- or even worse, four-cylinder hybrids like the Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance.
