Though it's been little more than a year since Ford ended production of the Fiesta, it still boggles my mind that higher-ups thought it was a good idea. The Fiesta's death was yet another slap in the face for people who still want cars. In 2022, the Mondeo went the way of the dodo, and in 2019, the Ka city car perished. And the sales numbers don't lie—the decision to focus on crossovers isn't paying off.

Ford Sales Are Tanking in Europe. And It's Clear Why

The Maserati Quattroporte (referred to as QP from here on) has been around for more than six decades, but its run has finally come to an end. The automaker recently delivered the last of its long-running four-door sports car to an American enthusiast, calling it the Grand Finale model. Carrying...

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.

Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.

Legendary sports seat manufacturer Recaro has filed for bankruptcy. The company was acquired by a private equity firm in 2020 and its collapse puts 215 jobs at risk.

You Better Sit Down For This, Recaro Has Filed For Bankruptcy

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ll be aware that multi-million-dollar cars require eye-watering amounts of money just for simple maintenance and servicing, especially if it’s a Bugatti. Over the years, we’ve had many Bugatti owners tell us how insanely expensive it is to own a hypercar. While a 27-year-old recently claimed that his $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Carbon goes a mere 62 miles on a full tank of fuel, renowned entrepreneur and influencer Manny Khoshbin has given a detailed account of the ownership cost of his Veyron in the past. He claimed that all fluids have to be changed each year, and that costs a whopping $25,000.

The owner of a $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron was shocked when the official service center quoted him $12,000 to replace a faulty door mirror switch. The clever owner took it to a supercar specialist who swapped it with an identical part from a Volkswagen van, which cost just $1.

Classic car enthusiasts usually like to keep their vehicles spotless, but there are some classic models that can be used for muddy, off-roading adventures. Early generations of iconic brands like Jeep and Range Rover maintain the same all-terrain performance that made them famous. In fact, a few still have a spot to honor on the list of the 10 best 4WD cars ever.

8 Classic Cars That Are Great For Off-Roading

There's a new supercar maker on the block. Nilu27, a brand founded by Koenigsegg and Bugatti designer Sasha Selipanov, has just revealed its first car: the NILU. Rather than leaning into cutting-edge tech like turbocharging or hybrid assistance, this car takes the purist approach, using a naturally aspirated V-12 connected to a gated manual transmission. It even has gullwing doors.

Four-cylinder engines still don't have the same cachet as their bigger 6-and-8-cylinder siblings, but the auto industry is in love with them. Using a turbocharged 4-pot is an easy way to reach traditional 6- and 8-cylinder power while simultaneously reducing emissions. Although the 4-cylinder might never reach the iconic status of a V8, there are some impressive examples out there.
