There are safety recalls, and then there are really time-consuming, expensive safety recalls. Toyota is experiencing the latter, having discovered earlier this year a defect in its twin-turbocharged V-6 truck engines that power the Tundra pickup truck as well as Lexus's LX luxury SUVs—at least, those 2022 to 2023 model-year variants built between November 2021 and February 2023 (or the same model years built between July 2021 and November 2022 for the LX). The issue can cause the engine stall unexpectedly; per Toyota's NHTSA recall notices to dealers:

Toyota to Replace Every Single Engine in 100,000 Tundra Pickups and Lexus SUVs

Both Lexus and Toyota have been killing the game in 2024 with success across a variety of automotive segments. Toyota knows that it's lonely at the top, but they aren't looking to give up their dominance in the automotive space anytime soon. The industry-standard compact SUV, the 2024 Toyota RAV4, is the best-selling Japanese vehicle in America. The Lexus IS Line has the highest overall reliability ratings for any Japanese car in 2024. What exactly can't the Japanese brand do?

To the uninitiated, the Toyota Camry and Lexus ES are unlikely sparring partners due to their different classes. The 2025 Toyota Camry is an economical mid-sized sedan, while the Lexus ES is the premium brand's mid-sized entry-level sedan. Both are the bread and butter of their respective brand's sedan lineup, and both have made leaps and bounds in technology and style to get to where they are today.

2025 Toyota Camry Vs. 2025 Lexus ES: Is It Worth Paying A Premium

In most cases, electric vehicles (EVs) have a much higher initial purchase price when compared to an internal combustion engine (ICE) car. So, in order to get the best of both worlds, most people will land on a hybrid model. But for each hybrid, there can be steep depreciation over the first few years after its release, resulting in a lot of lost value. On the other hand, this means that the slightly older models are offered at a significant discount. For hybrid SUVs, there are only a handful of answers if you want something reliable, efficient, and at a good price point. The answer lies in Toyota.

All 2025 Odyssey models still use the same 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 with 280 hp. Prices now start at $41,920 in the U.S. Minivans aren’t typically the type of vehicles that evoke raging enthusiasm among consumers. However, they remain an essential part of the U.S. market, and the esteemed Honda Odyssey has just been updated for 2025. The updates are relatively small, and prices have also been jacked up, although not considerably.

Cadillac has a new convertible concept EV that’s longer than some SUVs, has giant pillar-to-pillar infotainment screens, and can keep you cool for the summer with a refrigerator in the back seat.

The Lexus LFR will replace the RC F GT3 with advanced tech and a V8 engine. Expect a road-legal version of the LFR, likely with hybrid power and over 800 hp. New supercar to rival European heavyweights like the Ferrari 296 GTB and McLaren 750S. Great news for Lexus fans!...

Thanks to modern technological innovations, automobiles can travel further than ever before on a single tank of gas. Engineers and automakers are perfecting hybrid powertrains, so drivers can get the most range possible out of their vehicles and their gasoline purchases. Many Japanese hybrid cars are exceptionally gifted when it comes to fuel efficiency and driving range.

The Lexus LC500 is not doing very well. After a banner year of 2,782 sales in 2021, Lexus moved fewer than half that many units in 2022. An uptick was recorded in 2023, and year-to-date sales for 2024 have outpaced those of last year. Regardless, it’s not looking like the LC500 will surpass its sales prime.

2024 Lexus LC500 Convertible Bespoke Build First Drive: What a Damn Shame!

We are unabashed fans of the Lexus LC. With its smooth and sonorous 471-horsepower V8 under the hood, concept car come-to-life styling, and luxurious and detailed interior, there's an argument to be made that it's the finest grand touring car on the market here in 2024. Particularly as Lexus fixed it's biggest niggle - the only thing we complained about.

The Toyota Crown has been part of the Japanese brand's lineup overseas for many years, but it was just brought stateside last year. If you're unfamiliar with it, the Toyota Crown is a large sedan filled with plenty of tech-savvy features, luxurious materials, and powered by a couple of different hybrid powertrains. For those familiar with Toyota lore, the Crown effectively replaced the outgoing flagship Avalon, which was a hit in the U.S. for decades. Speaking of outgoing models, the Toyota Venza is leaving the lineup after 2024 as well, which leaves an empty slot.

Police departments around the country find themselves at a crossroads. They have decades of investment in traditional combustion engine police vehicles, of which the Dodge Charger Pursuit is one of the most popular and among the quickest with a 6 second 0-60 time. But as electric vehicle ownership grows across the country, criminals are adapting. A suspect fleeing in a Tesla Model Y or Hyundai Ioniq 5 N can easily outrun a V6-powered Charger on city streets.

We last reviewed a Lexus RC F in December 2018, and back then the RC F had already been around for a while. It’s still in the Lexus lineup today, but they’ve added a more performance-oriented version of the car since then with the RC F Track Edition.

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. In typical Kia fashion, the changes are significant, even though this is technically just a facelift.

The New Kia K8 Is a Daring Sedan in an SUV World

Torque: 398 lb.-ft. EPA ratings: 17/city, 25/highway, 20/combined. Overview: As part of Toyota’s luxury brand’s ongoing commitment to performance and luxury, the Lexus IS 500 F Sport represents a bold step forward for the Japanese automaker. Lexus has equipped this compact sports sedan with an authoritative V8 powerplant, setting it apart from both predecessors and competitors. With an emphasis on power, design and advanced technology, the IS 500 F Sport delivers an exhilarating driving experience.

2023 Lexus IS 500 F Sport — Fire-Breathing Luxury

Let’s be clear: Lexus is not a sports car brand. Lexus built its image with a full-size, luxurious four-door sedan with the sort of vault-like quietness and rock-solid reliability that made the German luxury stalwarts spit out their hefeweizen, then continued that roll with similarly low-key SUVs and other sedans. But luxury and sport often go together, and usually it’s the sportiest variant that’s at the top of a luxury maker’s lineup. And so it goes that Lexus—as Toyota’s halo brand—has occasionally gone ham sandwich on the sporty end of things. Although many times that has meant a sporty (often very sporty) version of an existing car, the top dog on this list is a standalone supercar.
