The Audi S5 Avant Is the Hot Wagon America Can't Have
The Audi A4 as we know it is officially dead. Before the name returns some years from now as an electric sedan, the all-new A5 will take its place. From day one, Audi Sport will sell a hotter S5 with a long roof but not a US visa. Say hello to the S5 Avant, a fresh name that, honestly, will take some time to get used to.
The Audi A4 Is Dead, Long Live the New Audi A5
After 30 years at the forefront of Audi's small executive gas car lineup, the A4 is being discontinued. The A5—previously the preserve of style-forward coupes—is now Audi's gas sedan (or, liftback) for the world's middle managers. Why is the A4 gone? Well, it isn't quite dead; Audi's even-numbered cars will be electric and its odd-numbered cars will still use squished-up dinosaurs to get around.
Kia Updates Its Ancient Truck for 2025
There is a misconception that the Tasman will be Kia's first truck, when in fact, the lesser-known Bongo has been around since 1980. Despite being launched back in 2005, the fourth-generation model is sticking around. Not only that but the somewhat obscure pickup is even getting a few updates at home in South Korea. The design may be stuck in the past but this is a 2025 vehicle.

The Toyota Supra GRMN Looks Fast, Has a New Wing, Sounds Good
It's been a minute since we saw the Toyota Supra GRMN. The company is taking its time bringing the upgraded performance version to life, but we noticed something recently on a prototype lapping the Nurburgring. Is that a different spoiler on the decklid?. We have eyes on the ground at...
EVs Aren't the Future, Hydrogen Is
In 2021, Congress approved a $7.5-billion plan under the Biden Administration to build thousands of new electric vehicle charging stations around the country.

Every Jaguar, Except the F-Pace, Is Dead
It's been more than three years since Jaguar Land Rover outlined its "Reimagine" strategy centered around electrification.

Before the end of this year, the axe will fall on six cars.
Watch The Last Budget Vintage BMW Come to Life
If you've tracked vintage car prices over the past decade, you've seen the market for everything from snail-like Citroens to collector-grade Porsches explode, moving from affordable Craigslist curiosities to "collector-grade investments." It's a damned shame. Because the collector angle keeps prices ballooning, which in turn keeps everyman enthusiasts from buying...
Remembering When Star Trek's OG Scotty Appeared in a Classic Toyota Ad
We had no idea actor James Doohan pitched for Toyota. Apparently, when he wasn't keeping the starship Enterprise up and running as chief engineer Scotty, he was helping the Japanese brand sell the 1968 Corona in the United States. How cool is that?. We learned this thanks to YouTube, where...

Watch This Abandoned Ford GT Start Up After Sitting for 15 Years
Ford only made 4,038 first-generation Ford GTs over two brief model years. However, it was long enough to cement the blue-badged American supercar as something truly special in enthusiasts’s minds. With such a low production number, it’s sad to see that not every example has had the best existence after leaving the factory. The VINWiki YouTube channel has unearthed an abandoned GT left to rot in a garage for 15 years that’ll require as much disinfectant as soap to get clean. But it’s not all bad news.
This Comically Large, Road-Legal Bumper Car Is Actually a Rear-Engine Trike
No matter how old you get, bumper cars stay fun. Does that joy increase proportionally with the size of the car? There's at least one super-sized bumper car in the world to test that theory. You'll find it in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. Dan Hryhorcoff is a retired machine shop owner...

Cheap Motor Oil Is Fine but You Should Pay Extra for the Good Stuff, Testing Shows

According to this latest test from the Project Farm YouTube channel, cheap oils are totally fine to run in your engine. But if you want long-lasting health and performance, you should spend a bit more.
We Wish Every Raptor Looked Like Ford's New Dakar Racer
This isn't some hopped-up Ford F-150. It's not a Ranger, either. You're looking at the Ford Raptor T1+, a purebred race truck built to conquer Dakar. And to Ford's credit, it looks ready to kick some ass. A chunk of that credit goes to M-Sport LTD. Ford partnered with the...
