This Volkswagen Sedan Refuses To Give Up Its Manual Transmission for 2025

BMW has always been more than just a car company. Throughout the decades, BMW has taken pride in its engine building as much as they do in manufacturing cars. The Bavarian automakers always looked to push the performance potential of their engines. To this day, of all the luxury German brand's notable highlights, their continued acclaim still stems from their engine's excellence.

The Ford Mustang and Mercury Capri ASC McLaren models are some of the more unique examples of those cars to surface over the years, as well as some of the rarest, to boot. ASC McLaren teamed up with FoMoCo on multiple occasions, churning out some interesting vehicles such as these, which were produced in very small quantities, so we don’t see a ton of them surface for sale on a regular basis. However, this 1986 Mercury Capri ASC McLaren convertible is up for grabs right now.

Nissan Is Dropping 1 of Its Most Powerful Sedans

The manual gearbox isn't the most popular transmission in the United States. Only a select few prefer a sick shift, with mainstream consumer interest having largely shifted to automatic and CVT units. On top of the convenience of the automatic or CVT, manuals aren't a cheaper option anymore. Back in the day, the manual transmission was standard kit on many cars, with the automatic options having an up-charge, but that's no longer the case. And since automatics are generally more frugal, more buyers are opting for those - and thus, also more manufacturers.

Mercedes-AMG Finally Has A Porsche 911 GT3 Rival

One of my favorite things about my GR Corolla and the factor that makes the car so engaging to drive is its six-speed manual transmission. That said, I understand that automatics are often quicker and have better fuel economy and that there are plenty of people who can’t or don’t want to drive a manual for one reason or another. Toyota knows that, too, moving to offer an eight-speed automatic in the related GR Yaris, which now appears to be making its way to the States in the 2025 GR Corolla.

The average transaction price for a new vehicle was $46,992 in the first quarter of this year, according to Edmunds transaction data. That’s out of reach of a lot of car shoppers.

BMW is heading toward a design revolution with its future EVs. We got a preview of that last year with the clean and angular BMW Vision Neue Klasse sedan. Earlier this year, the Vision Neue Klasse X SUV joined the party. Now, spy photos of a new coupe have surfaced—but this is something different. This doesn't look like a concept car.

The 2026 Honda Passport is coming soon, and Honda just dropped its first teaser for the new SUV. Specifically, Honda is teasing the off-road-oriented Trailsport model. From the teaser (video above, photos further below), it sure looks like Honda is aiming for a more aggressive and rugged design than the current Passport that’s more of a smaller Pilot. This new one is already starting to latch onto its own identity with the amber-colored daytime running lights and hexagonal openings across the high-mounted grille – there’s even a “Trailsport” logo contained within one of the grille openings. The “PASSPORT” spelled out in the grille is equally rugged in character as its squared-off jowls in the silhouette. And lastly, this Passport appears to have a fairly prominent hood opening of sorts that’s hard to make much of for the time being.
