Toyota revived the iconic Supra with a six-cylinder engine in 2019. Two years later, the company offered an entry-level four-cylinder model—and it was pretty darn good. But with Toyota making changes to Supra lineup for the 2025 model year, the four-cylinder model is nowhere to be found. The company...

Dead: Four-Cylinder Supra

Las Vegas, NV

It's the turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sports car we've been waiting for. Toyota has something extra special planned for this year's SEMA show in Las Vegas. The company is building a one-off GR86 that'll use the turbocharged three-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive powertrain from its rally-inspired hot hatch, the GR Corolla. As in, the turbo, AWD BRZ STI that Subaru refuses to build.

The straight-six engine has a significant place in the history of German luxury vehicles. This engine layout, now the cornerstone of BMW's brand, is known for its smoothness. In many instances, smoothness means luxury. It is in part that smoothness that you are paying a premium for. This is why economy-focused turbo-four options offered by luxury brands never capture the essence of the brand as intended. Those engines often lack the necessary characteristics that create that smooth experience.

Toyota's plans for the upcoming models, including the revival of iconic names like the Toyota Celica, and the full redesign of the Toyota Corolla, got me thinking, will the next generation of the Japanese bestseller bring with it a more powerful GR Corolla? Toyota is ensuring the longevity of the internal combustion engine, and by all accounts, the future Toyota Celica will score a newly developed, 2.0-liter, turbocharged, inline-four engine, capable of 400 horsepower, in factory form.

Will Toyota Give The GR Corolla A New Engine?

Sedans might not be the hottest items in the automotive space right now, but when the best-selling midsize four-door gets a complete makeover and goes hybrid-only, it says a lot about the company making the vehicle and its future buyers. The 2025 Toyota Camry ditches its predecessor’s four- and six-cylinder engines and is only offered with a hybrid powertrain that delivers better power (and way better fuel economy) than the old entry-level engine, for not much more money than what competitors charge for their non-hybrid models.

The official online configurator tool for the 2025 Cadillac CT4-V and 2025 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing is now live at Cadillac’s website, offering fans and potential buyers the chance to customize their ideal four-door performance sedan. As was the case previously, the 2025 Cadillac CT4-V and 2025 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing offer a range of options for enhancing the sedan’s comfort, convenience, style, and performance. As covered previously, the 2025 Cadillac CT4 introduces minimal changes compared to the preceding 2024 model year, and that extends to the performance-focused 2025 CT4-V and 2025 CT4-V Blackwing variants.

Ford has issued a new recall the F-150 that affects 552,188 trucks built for the 2014 model year. A problem with a sensor could cause the transmission to suddenly shift into first gear, regardless of speed. A sudden downshift is never good, but at higher speeds, it could lead to a loss of control.

Since 1902 and well into the century, Cadillac represented the finest that U.S. carmakers had to offer. The Cadillac name remained synonymous with quality and luxury for decades after the company's founding, and even adopted "The Standard of the World" as its slogan due to the reputation that it had earned. Even until the 1980s, Cadillac owned over 33 percent market share in the U.S. luxury car market, establishing them as the leading premium automaker on American soil.

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 live in Germany and a Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed roadster isn't in the budget, consider this, the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 Manufaktur Golden Coast. It's based on the same model as the PureSpeed, and — for a lot less money — it even comes with a roof instead of two helmets and half of a Formula 1 halo. As an homage to California, the Manufaktur personalization division created a Kalahari Gold Magno exterior paint, then found ways to apply complementary gold accents all over the interior. The cabin's black Nappa leather AMG Performance seats get gold topstitching on the diamond quilting. Gold stitching secures Nappa leather to the steering wheel rim. The floor mats are edged in black leather held on by, you guessed it, gold topstitching. Kalahari Gold Magno appears on the seat trim, and a Manufaktur Golden Coast badge appears on the center console.

According to a recent Consumer Reports newsletter, their team of automotive analysts personally charge car batteries thousands of times to find out how long they’ll last:. “The tests are tough by design. We charge and discharge the batteries thousands of times while in a 167º F water bath to simulate under-hood temperatures and find out how long they’ll last. We also put them in a freezer to see how they’ll perform at 0º F, and we track how long they’ll last if you leave your car’s headlights on, or the charging system fails.”

In the world of muscle car restoration and modification, few stories are as heartwarming and impressive as that of Brandon DeFazio and his father Mike. Together, they transformed a 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback into a Pro-Touring legend, all without the help of professional builders. Their journey began in October 2012 and has been a testament to dedication, passion, and family bonding.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

Following the demise of the 425-horsepower 426 HEMI V8 in 1971, Chrysler mothballed the hemispherical combustion chamber design and its awe-inspiring HEMI nameplate for over 30 years. While the second-generation 426 HEMI clearly earned its rank as a high-horsepower engine, the newer 5.7- and 6.1-liter third-gen HEMI V8s provide impressive horsepower ratings as well as improved fuel economy and reliability.

Toyota has officially announced its GR Supra lineup for the 2025 model year, and there's one glaring omission in the range – the four-cylinder Supra is nowhere to be found. For the next model year, Toyota will only sell two trim levels: 3.0 and 3.0 Premium. This is bad news for those eyeing a brand-new Supra but can't spend nearly $60,000 on a Toyota.

BMW is rolling out its newest crop of vehicles. With the new 2025 M5 debuting, the rest of the lineup is nearly ready for the next model year. We’ve already seen updates to vehicles like the 2 Series, the M3 and M4, the iX, and others. Soon the entire 2025 BMW lineup will be updated for the US.

Setting Sail with Horsepower. When it comes to LS engine swaps, automotive enthusiasts have pushed the boundaries of creativity and performance in various vehicles. But what happens when you take this iconic engine and transplant it into a boat? That’s precisely the question one daring YouTuber set out to answer, and the results are making waves in the world of marine engineering.

The Unconventional LS Engine Swap That Turned Heads on the Water

The 2025 Toyota GR Supra has gone I-6 only and gotten pricier as a result, though customers can still get a manual transmission, at least. The Toyota Supra has been around for a few years now after debuting in 2020, and since then, the reborn sports car has been treated to a few updates along the way. After originally only being available with a turbocharged 3.0-liter I-6, the Supra gained a turbo 2.0-liter I-4 for the 2021 model year, making it a bit cheaper for those that were perfectly fine with having a little less weight and horsepower in their rides. However, the 2025 Toyota GR Supra is ditching that four-banger just a few years after its addition to the lineup.
