It’s no secret: the V8 is on its way out. From sedans to trucks, every segment of the car market is ditching V8s in a drive towards increased efficiency and electrification. While eight-cylinder power has a very long history and was once a common sight in American cars and trucks, today even rugged workhorses (such as the Ram 1500) are opting for alternative powertrain options.

2024 is a sad year for many engine enthusiasts because it will see Dodge discontinue production of its famed Hemi engine. Car companies have long been trying to adhere to ever changing emissions restrictions for decades, and with the most recent ones, the large Hemi V8 engines simply do not cut it anymore, which is why the Stellantis Hurricane I6 engine will be the principal replacement for the Hemi going forward.

The best Chevrolet Silverado 1500 years were truly built like a rock

Stellantis has been making the headlines a lot of late, with most of the recent news concerning the future of its 14 brands. The conglomerate has reaffirmed its commitment to the entire portfolio, and if a report from Canadian regional news outlet Windsor Star is to be believed, two of its most at-risk marques are ready for rejuvenation with a pair of new crossovers. The outlet spoke to Sam Fiorani, who's in charge of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions, and he says that a new midsize Chrysler crossover will arrive by 2027, and the replacement for the Dodge Durango will appear by the end of 2026 or early the following year. Fiorani has correctly predicted what Stellantis would produce at its Windsor Assembly Plant in the past, so it's worth considering his view now.

V8s, by and large, are disappearing from the automotive world. The odds have been increasingly stacked against them from tightening emissions restrictions to stricter CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards, pushing the not-so-fuel-efficient V8 further and further into the proverbial corner. Some automakers are still hanging onto the iconic cylinder configuration, with one, in particular, creating a V8 truly worth mentioning, as it revs like the dickens.

Four-Door Sedan, Baja Off-Roader, and More. In a move that could redefine the Mustang legacy, Ford CEO Jim Farley recently revealed a tantalizing glimpse of the brand's future during a private meeting with U.S. dealers in Las Vegas. According to a report by Automotive News, Ford is exploring several new Mustang variants that could expand the iconic muscle car’s lineup far beyond its traditional two-door and Mach-E electric SUV forms. These potential new models include a four-door sedan, a Baja 1000-inspired off-roader, and a new convertible hero model that could reshape the Mustang family as we know it.

If you want to hit the trails, but you need something more practical than a Jeep Wrangler for home use, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator may be the ultimate pickup. It's a mid-size truck, meaning you don't have to drive around the parking lot three times looking for a space where you'll fit, because it's not oversized. It's also a capable work truck, towing up to 7,700 pounds when correctly equipped, and carrying as much as1,710 lbs - and it's a Jeep, so you know it can handle trails, creeks, mud, and dirt like a beast. It's also one of the coolest looking vehicles on the market right now, with the classic boxy Jeep look and removable doors and roof for when you want to feel the breeze.

Two months ago, Kia updated the Sportage for 2025, the Korean automaker's best-selling model, and although the updates were nothing to scoff at, the crossover's unique appearance was left unchanged. But for the next major update, the Sportage will get fresh new looks, as seen in a spy video obtained by CarBuzz at the Nürburgring. As denoted by the yellow decals, this test vehicle is based on the hybrid model.

The 300 name has a storied history with the Chrysler brand. Those familiar with the Chryslers of yore may cite the C-300 of 1955 as perhaps the original muscle car, as well as the first entry in what would become known as the letter series of vehicles. This 300-horsepower beast would be the progenitor of a new series of Chrysler 300s in the new millennium, first unveiled at the New York International Motor Show in 2003.

Kia phased out the Cadenza from the United States in 2021, but later that year, a replacement was launched in South Korea. In its domestic market, the big sedan had been known as the K7, but for the latest generation, it switched to the K8 moniker. Now, there's a mid-cycle update.
