The Rogue compact SUV is Nissan's best-selling model in the US. I was impressed by its 3-cylinder engine and comfortable cabin.

I drove Nissan's best-selling Rogue SUV and was impressed by its controversial 3-cylinder engine.

Sedans are one of the best examples of Darwinism in the automobile business. The companies that still make them — mainly Toyota, Honda, Hyundai — do a fine job with them. This notion came into sharp focus for me during a recent test drive of the 2025 Toyota Camry. Once derided as the color beige manifested onto four wheels, the latest Camry has sleek, edgy styling, a nicely appointed interior and hybrid power. I spent a week with an XSE model, and I have five thoughts.

Toyota is a brand that jumped on the trend of SUVs very early on. Some argue that the RAV4 even started the wave of compact SUVs that we see today. Their knack for building capable yet reliable machines not only earned them a mainstream following, but also earned the trust and adoration of many off-road enthusiasts.

10 Most Powerful Toyota SUVs In The Brand's History

Mopar Insiders posted in March about a diesel engine rumor concerning the 2025 Ram Heavy Duty lineup. Apparently, the truck brand would pare its two 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel engine options back to one, and that one engine would be more powerful than the most potent engine on sale today. Right now, Ram 2500 buyers can get a Standard-Output (SO) Cummins diesel making 370 horsepower and 850 pound-feet of torque, while 3500 buyers get to choose a High-Output (HO) version making 420 hp and 1,075 pound-feet of torque. MI credits "sources within the company" for confirmation of a single engine for next year, an insider hopes that "this engine will surpass the performance metrics of the current H/O variant, promising more power and torque."

The Toyota Supra enters the 2025 model year without the base 2.0-liter turbo-4 offered in previous years, and as a result has a much steeper starting price. Due at dealerships in the fall, the 2025 Supra comes standard with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 and carries a starting price of $57,345, including a $1,095 destination charge. That price represents an increase of $1,750 over the comparable 2024 model. And with its turbo-4, the 2024 model could be had for as little as $46,635.

The Murilee Martin Junkyard Odometer Standings were dominated by Honda and Mercedes-Benz for years, but extremely well-traveled Toyotas have been muscling in lately. A couple of months back, a 1996 Avalon with close to a million miles on its odometer took the No.1 spot, and today's Junkyard Treasure just grabbed second place for the car company founded by Kiichiro Toyoda.

The redesigned 2024 Lincoln Nautilus debuted last year and just recently began shipping to dealers, but has already racked up its fair share of critical acclaim – not to mention a Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS. However, competition is stiff in the D-segment luxury crossover segment, which has long been dominated by the BMW X3 and Lexus RX. Now, the all-new 2025 BMW X3 has debuted, giving the 2024 Nautilus a heavily-revamped rival to contend with.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

When BMW introduced the current-generation 2 Series Coupe in July 2021, the M Performance model originally came only in xDrive flavor. However, a rear-wheel-drive derivative was launched in the following summer. Europeans are already saying goodbye to the tail-happy M240i since it’s gone from the lineup. With the changes brought by the 2025 model year, the sports coupe goes AWD-only on the Old Continent.

BMW has been busy updating the 2 Series, M3, and other models this year. It's now introducing the 2025 X3 in two trims, featuring new hybrid powertrains, the brand's latest infotainment setup, and a fresh exterior design. The new X3 goes on sale in the United States later this year.

Mazda's shaking things up with the 2025 Mazda3, slashing prices and adding entry-level trims. It’s a breath of fresh air for buyers battered by the ever-rising costs of modern machinery.

Mazda sold its Familia small car in the United States from the 1971 through 2003 model years, with some interesting developments right at the very end of that run. There was the Protegé MP3 for 2001-2002, the Mazdaspeed Protegé for 2003 and the Protegé5 wagon for 2002-2003. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of the latter type, found in a Denver self-service boneyard recently.

If you have your eye on a new Lexus RX luxury SUV, but just don't feel like swinging the price tag or cosplaying a real estate agent, has Toyota got the alternative for you: The 2025 Crown Signia. This new crossover is related to the unusual Crown sedan, a premium, high-riding sedan that replaced the Avalon in Toyota's lineup and leverages the iconic, up-market, heretofore mostly Japanese-market-only Crown name. The Crown SUV also happens to be pretty much exactly the same size as Lexus's RX, which plays in the same compact luxury SUV sandbox as the Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class. This isn't the first time we've compared the Toyota and Lexus, which even share a platform and essentially use the same three-motor hybrid powertrain.
