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.

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...

Stanley Kubrick falls to his knees at the pearly gates as a gleaming monolith rises from a desert of soulless crossovers. It’s called the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. Finally, an SUV that doesn't look like every other SUV. The masses hoot and holler. Honestly, it's ridiculous we had to...

The Ford Mustang doesn't change for 2025, but there are some updates to the equipment and pricing. The bad news? If you want a V-8 you're going to pay more—a lot more if you want the Dark Horse. On the flip side, EcoBoost buyers have more equipment without any price changes. And while GT buyers are paying more, they're also getting a little bit more.

Big news out of Ohio: Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. is making a major shift by relocating 175 jobs from its Akron headquarters to a new facility in Costa Rica. This move, part of their "Goodyear Forward" transformation plan, will take effect in early 2025.

The current Honda Passport debuted for the 2019 model year and was lightly updated for 2022—so it needs an overhaul. For 2026, Honda's mid-size SUV will get a new look and an even more rugged TrailSport trim going into its fourth generation. This first teaser image gives us an...

The Next Honda Passport Will Be Its Most 'Capable SUV Yet'

Combustion engines will probably be with us for a long time. Automakers like Toyota have announced new investments into gasoline powertrains, while enterprising companies like Avadi are radically redesigning them for a more sustainable future. Avadi's new engine prototype reimagines the rotary, replacing the spinning Dorito with a rotating piston.

The Lucid Air is only a couple of years old, but the automaker is eager to give it a minor update. The entry-level Air Pure model gets a new 84.0-kilowatt-hour battery pack for 2025 that provides up to an EPA-estimated 420 miles of range on a single charge without raising the trim’s starting price.

For the record, this isn't the worst damage we've seen from an I Do Cars engine teardown video. It's not even the worst 3.0-liter Duramax we've seen, lest we forget the destroyed diesel that literally had valve shapes stamped into the pistons. But we've never seen a hole in the cylinder caused purely by heat. How hot does it have to get to actually burn through a cylinder bore?

Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.

One of these six spectacular cats may be your next pet

If you’ve been following the electric vehicle (EV) scene, you might have heard some concerning news about SK On, the South Korean battery manufacturer. They’ve hit a bit of a rough patch due to lower-than-expected sales of electric vehicles in key markets like Europe and the U.S. Let's dive into what’s going on and why it matters.

Battery Manufacturer Declares Urgency Due to Low EV Sales, Says Financial Times

A new BMW 7 Series is in the works. The current model isn't old by any means, having debuted in 2022 for the 2023 model year with a polarizing style. Whether that's the motivation behind this refresh is unknown. Suffice it to say, we don't often see automakers parading an updated model barely two years after a debut.

Bondurant, WY

WyoFile

Billionaire Joe Ricketts has ordered crews to immediately stop construction of his long-planned Sublette County luxury resort, and restore the area to its natural condition. A project that would have made a tourist destination out of the tiny, sleepy Hoback River basin community of Bondurant has been called off because of protective wildlife stipulations that abbreviated the construction season. Ricketts sought an exemption from the seasonal restrictions, which he claimed in a memo obtained by WyoFile would have increased the cost of building the high-end all-inclusive resort by $60 million to $100 million, but his request was denied .

There are a few problems with the Red Bull RB17: It costs £5 million ($6.5 million), it's sold out, and it can't be driven on public roads. However, the 50 customers who had the money and bought the car quickly will be able to fix that last issue. Courtesy of Lanzante, the Cosworth-powered machine is getting a street-legal conversion.

It doesn't seem to be a good year for Tesla. After the record results of 2023—when it was the most popular EV manufacturer with the best-selling vehicle in the world—2024 isn't nearly as robust. The latest data collected by JATO Dynamics for the first half of this year shows Tesla losing ground in both the United States and Europe, where sales fell by 8 percent and 13 percent respectively.
