Well before the NSX, Honda had a beautiful wedge-shaped concept called the HP-X—the brand's first modern concept car. Designed by Pininfarina, the HP-X debuted at the 1984 Turin Motor Show and previewed a radical, ultra-aerodynamic sports car. The HP-X had a 2.0-liter V-6 engine derived from Honda's Formula 2...

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

We've just driven the all-new 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance, and while its 2.0-liter turbocharged hybrid powertrain's 671 horsepower impresses, the small-capacity engine simply does not stir our souls as the old V8 did. Despite numerous negative reactions to this mill, enthusiasts will be displeased to know that Affalterbach is already hard at work testing an all-electric replacement, as seen in new spy shots.

From the July/August issue of Car and Driver. Toyota summoned the spirit of the 1960–83 FJ40-series Land Cruiser and channeled it into the 2007–14 FJ Cruiser. The SUV is underpinned by an altered version of the contemporary 4Runner’s frame and sits on a wheelbase 3.9 inches shorter than its mid-size sibling’s. Approach and departure angles of up to 34.0 and 31.0 degrees better those of the 4Runner and Land Cruiser of the era. A stubby 183.9-inch-long body and up to 9.6 inches of ground clearance make the FJ a nimble and sure-footed companion on unbeaten paths.

What to Buy: 2007–2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

It's not a big surprise that the manual-transmission SUV is next up on the chopping block for vehicles sending the manual the way of the dodo. The appeal of the manual gearbox largely has to do with driver engagement. The appeal of the sports utility vehicle is mostly down to convenience in the modern automotive landscape. These two qualities are, if not incompatible, at least difficult to counterbalance. Then you add cost concerns into the mix, and it's easy to see why SUV makers would rather avoid spending millions developing a new stick shift and passing the expenses on to the buyer in a segment that frequently competes on price alone.

Essentially a crossover version of the Golf, the T-Roc isn't sold in the United States. That's not exactly a tragedy since we have enough SUVs already here, including the slightly larger Taos. What makes the T-Roc different than nearly all other high-riding models is the convertible version. Yes, a crossover with an electrically folding fabric top is available in 2024.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
