Dodge has let rip the final version of its virtual engine sound profile for its upcoming Charger Daytona electric muscle car, and it sounds like a gallon of gasoline combusting in a hot flash. The new Charger Daytona is, of course, an EV that does not burn any gas. But...

Here’s what the new Dodge Charger Daytona’s fake engine sounds like

It used to be that an inline four-cylinder was just slightly more powerful than a lawnmower, but modern performance technology, as well as super and turbocharging, has made them formidable engines. In fact, there are some high-output I-4s that rival V-6s and even V-8s, both in horsepower and torque. Gone are the days when four-cylinders were only for sensible compacts, as they now power some of the hottest rides around.

10 Four-Cylinder Cars That Are Faster Than Their Larger-Engined Ancestors

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.

General Motors may have retired the Pontiac name more than a decade ago, but it continues to have tremendous brand recall among car enthusiasts worldwide. From the '50s and well into the '90s, Pontiac was behind some of the most iconic cars of the era. Some of the more popular cars from Pontiac's golden era include the Pontiac Firebird, GTO, and the Pontiac 2+2. These vehicles are usually the first ones that come to the minds of the average auto enthusiast when they think of legendary Pontiacs.

An anonymous source told Automotive News last month that the Nissan Altima is dead after the 2025 model year; other anonymous sources have give the Altima two years to live. Either way, death appears close by. Now that Nissan's announced what buyers can expect for the 2025 Altima, we know there's life in the old girl yet, but a little less than before. The top SR VC-Turbo trim drops off the menu, taking its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 248 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. That leaves the 2.5-liter four-cylinder putting out 188 hp and 180 lb-ft as the sole engine, shifting through a continuously variable transmission to either the front or both axles depending on trim.

Neglecting to change your car's oil is about the worst thing you can do for your engine. Motor oil is the lifeblood of your car, cleaning out debris and particulates as it circulates through all the pipes and crevices of your engine. So having fresh oil is vital. Go tens of thousands of miles without changing it, and really bad stuff can happen.

Teardown Reveals How Bad Things Get When You Don't Change Your Oil

Just because a car brand goes the way of the dinosaur doesn't mean that it can't be fondly remembered for years after. Take, for instance, Pontiac, which rose to prominence throughout the 20th century under the General Motors umbrella after starting out under Oakland Motor Car in the 1920s. It came to light in 2009 that GM was retiring the brand, shifting focus primarily to Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac. With that, Pontiac was a thing of the past by 2010. Nevertheless, there are a few classic Pontiac cars we'd like to see make a comeback someday, with the Pontiac GTO deservedly among them.

The manual transmission may be dying, but the 7-speed manual transmission is all but dead. This peculiar transmission type first popped up in 2012 with the introduction of the 991 generation of the Porsche 911. In that instance, Porsche and transmission supplier ZF engineered the manual and PDK to share many of the same components to help fuel economy and make parts more common along the range. Today, only one vehicle still uses a 7-speed manual in the US, and instead of speed and fuel efficiency, it's built for improved off-road prowess.

Toyota has issued a major recall of its twin-turbocharged V-6 engines powering the 2022 and 2023 Tundra pickup trucks and Lexus LX SUVs. Engines produced between late 2021 and early 2023 might have machining debris left in the engine; causing engine knocks or, worse cases, a spun bearing and complete engine stall. At first, Toyota was unsure how many engines were contaminated, but now, months later, the solution is to replace more than 100,000 engines.

Minivans are cool, go ask your dad. They haul humans and their things, and for people my age especially, they're responsible for decades' worth of road-trip memories. The Toyota Sienna has been a staple among the minivan community since 1997, but even in its old age, it's still a solid option for large families.
