Remember a time when you could get a manual gearbox in an all-wheel drive car and send it down a dusty trail for maximum fun? Those were the good days, and when rally racing and hot hatches hit their peak in the 1980s and 1990s, nothing made you feel more like a rally driver than the combination of AWD and a manual gearbox. But times have changed, the manual has fallen out of favor, and hot hatches, well, while there were once nearly a dozen or more to choose from, we're now down to just three or four genuine contenders. But of those that still remain, only one gives you that combination of a shift-it-yourself gearbox and drive to all four corners: the Toyota GR Corolla.

The Acura MDX shares its platform with the Honda Pilot, but that fact is really only obvious when you look at their rear seat floor plans. Both offer the unique, removable second-row middle seat, which means that buyers don't have to decide whether they want max capacity and a second-row bench, or the pass-through convenience of second-row captain's chairs. Both also boast a two-level cargo floor behind the third row, which is always a benefit here in Luggage Test land. But! The MDX does not have nearly as much room back there, regardless of whether you take advantage of the two-level floor's lower level (why wouldn't you?).

Initial pricing is out for the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ, according to GM Authority. When Cadillac introduced the battery-electric 'Slade last August, we were told pricing would start around $130,000. That's right on the money, the first of four trims starting at $129,990 after the $2,290 destination charge — the delivery fee $295 more than the charge levied on the V8-powered Escalade. GM distinguishes Escalade IQ trims by the numbers 1 and 2, we wouldn't be surprised if these turn into something like Premium or Platinum once the market rollout really begins. Trims and MSRPs are:

In the sprawling expanses of Texas, where versatility and resilience matter, this evolution isn’t just marketing; it’s the essence of what makes this Subaru a compelling contender.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

Simon Saunders, director of Ariel, told Autocar that back when the company was only making the road-focused Atom, an American called the company asking for an Atom with "about three feet" of suspension travel. Ariel wasn't ready to do that then, but the idea percolated until Ariel turned it into the Nomad, launched in 2015. Having learned much while building hundreds of Nomads in the past 10 years, and having watched the off-road segment blow up, Ariel is ready with a second-generation Nomad 2. Only the steering wheel, pedal box, and fuel cap from the Nomad have carried over to Nomad 2. Starting with the frame, engineers used larger 2- and 2.5-inch-diameter tubing to increase stiffness by 65%. That figure's achieved even with the Nomad 2 expanding its footprint, its wheelbase 1 7/8 inch longer, its track 2 inches wider. This also provides additional room in the cockpit, a reshaped aperture making for the easier ingress that original Nomad buyers requested.

Ariel Nomad 2 is a comprehensive upgrade with up to 305 hp and 382 lb-ft
