Four months early specs on two Dodge Charger Daytona First Editions leaked. Now, thanks to a YouTuber known as Butter da Insider, via Mopar Insiders, we've got what's claimed to be MSRPs for those First Editions; someone apparently took a picture of a Stellantis computer screen with the details. According to the dealer guides, the First Editions will only offer three exterior colors: Diamond Black, Triple Nickel and White Knuckle. Starting with the entry-level R/T First Edition, it comes with the eStage 1 Upgrade that adds 40 horsepower in PowerShot mode, taking peak output to 496 hp and 404 pound-feet of torque. The base configuration will come with the Demonic Red Seats with red and silver stitching and perforated inserts. Also standard is the Plus Group of heated and ventilated leather front seats and heated back seats, interior ambient lighting, a 16-inch gauge cluster, LED headlights with a full-width LED light bar, and illuminated door handles. The fully loaded version of this First Edition sheds the red interior but adds the Sun & Sound Group of a fixed tinted glass roof and 18-speaker, 914-watt Alpine audio. The Blacktop Appearance Package comes along as well, fitting dark 20-inch aluminum wheels on 255/45 all-season tires and some dark R/T graphics. Outside, the car sits on 20-inch aluminum wheels. The rumored price: $68,570 before destination.

Following its debut in early February, the 2025 Ford Explorer entered production at the Chicago Assembly plant in May, but due to the automaker’s new quality checks, the refreshed model just began hitting dealer lots late last month. The Explorer’s more luxurious counterpart – the 2025 Lincoln Aviator – was on a similar trajectory, and also entered production alongside its platform mate.

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.

A Laughing Rival to the Lamborghini Urus. The era of powerful, combustion-engine SUVs may be nearing its end as automakers, including Jeep under the Stellantis umbrella, shift focus to electric vehicles. However, the legacy of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk remains strong among petrolheads who appreciate raw, unbridled power. The Trackhawk, known for its formidable Hellcat V8 engine, continues to captivate enthusiasts even though it's no longer in production.

Don’t worry, you can still order the Toyota GR Corolla with a manual transmission. We’d argue you should, though the GR Corolla’s new 8-speed Gazoo Racing Direct Automatic Transmission (DAT) — while it might subtract some driver engagement — adds a lot of appeal to a broader market. It’s part of a larger batch of changes for the 2025 model year, but the new transmission should help keep the super-fun hot hatch on sale for many years to come.

These days, it’s not all that uncommon for SUVs and pickups to be packing some serious heat. However, back in the early ’90s, the go-fast utility vehicle segment was far more limited, and in fact, one could argue that the GMC Typhoon was the first to really set the standard. Now, this well-preserved 1992 Typhoon is listed for sale in a new online auction.
