There’s a reason automakers are banking on the nostalgic design trend these days: boxy styling is in. For this, Japanese automaker Suzuki has an offering that not only fits the trendy look, but has lived it throughout its lifetime. We’re talking about the Suzuki Jimny, a small SUV with a distinct personality and renowned off-road abilities that have captured the hearts of enthusiasts worldwide. Now in its fourth generation, introduced in 2018, its rugged design, affordability, and relative simplicity make it a favorite for many – yes, this author included.

Forbidden Fruit: Why America Can't Have The Suzuki Jimny

The Toyota RAV4 was the best-selling SUV in America last year, with more than 430,000 units sold. This year, the automaker is on track to sell half a million units, underscoring its unbeatable combo of value for money, reliability, and (for the hybrid guises) excellent gas mileage. But with an update waiting in the wings, is Toyota at risk of messing with its cash cow?

Toyota Will Give Next-Gen RAV4 Buyers Exactly What They Want

The Ward's AutoWorld publication has been going for over a century, and many are likely familiar with their Ward's 10 Best Engines selection, which is published once a year. To appear on the list is a credit to an engine's reliability, performance, and design. The list includes rigorous testing and evaluation by a panel of the publication's editors who consider factors such as horsepower, torque, fuel economy, and the application of new technologies. Many iconic engines have appeared multiple times on the list since its inception in 1994.

The V8 That Won More Engine Awards Than Any Other

The manual gearbox isn't the most popular transmission in the United States. Only a select few prefer a sick shift, with mainstream consumer interest having largely shifted to automatic and CVT units. On top of the convenience of the automatic or CVT, manuals aren't a cheaper option anymore. Back in the day, the manual transmission was standard kit on many cars, with the automatic options having an up-charge, but that's no longer the case. And since automatics are generally more frugal, more buyers are opting for those - and thus, also more manufacturers.

There's Only One Manual AWD Sports Sedan Left In America

Kia has announced pricing for the 2025 Sorento, and it starts at the same point as the 2024 model, despite some updates. As before, the crossover carries a base MSRP of $31,990, topping out at $47,390 for the range-topping X-Pro SX-P AWD model. Pricing for the Sorento Hybrid was already revealed earlier in the year, but to recap, the cheapest version is the Sorento Hybrid EX FWD, with a base price of $38,690. Step up to the AWD model, and you'll pay $46,890. Finally, the most expensive hybrid is the SX Prestige AWD, which costs $46,890. With that out of the way, let's take a look at what the unelectrified model costs, keeping in mind that all prices listed above and below exclude the manufacturer's destination charger of $1,375.

When it comes to building engines, one philosophy is that the bigger, the better. Six cylinders? Why not eight? Ten? Twelve? Another philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. If you can get supercar specs out of six cylinders, why drag the car down with all that extra aluminum and cast iron? Track records are frequently made and broken on a difference of 100 pounds of curb weight, and with how much juice you can get out of turbochargers and electric motors these days, it's no wonder some of the quickest cars in the world have some of the leanest engines.

Honda's family hauler has gone through a mid-cycle refresh. The MY2025 Odyssey arrives with subtle styling revisions, more standard features, enhanced technology, and a revamped rear entertainment system. In a time of downsizing, it's unusual that the 2025 Odyssey retains its 3.5-liter V6, but we're not complaining. The entry-level EX is no longer available for MY2025, while the Sport trim has seemingly been replaced by the Sport-L. CarBuzz has contacted Honda USA for comment and will update the article once we receive a reply.
