The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing didn't get any performance enhancements when it was revealed at the beginning of this year, and we didn't think it needed any, but now Cadillac has addressed the issue with a new Precision Package that promises enhanced handling for all driving conditions.

Rivian is looking to patent a vehicle accessory system that works like a trailer hitch. A Rivian patent application for this feature was published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Jul. 4, 2024, but was filed by Rivian in late 2022.

V8s get a lot of attention when it comes to enthusiast cars, but the humble six-cylinder has become remarkably prevalent in an era where downsizing and turbocharging give you more power with a lower cylinder count.

Don’t worry, you can still order the Toyota GR Corolla with a manual transmission. We’d argue you should, though the GR Corolla’s new 8-speed Gazoo Racing Direct Automatic Transmission (DAT) — while it might subtract some driver engagement — adds a lot of appeal to a broader market. It’s part of a larger batch of changes for the 2025 model year, but the new transmission should help keep the super-fun hot hatch on sale for many years to come.
