EV bashers love to bring up tire wear, and they have a point. In the early days of the electric car revolution, these new machines were shod with the same rubber that cars powered by internal combustion engines (ICE) used. As it turns out, those tires weren’t designed to handle the unique qualities of an EV, and as such, they wore through their treads quickly.

EVs Don’t Have To Go Through Tires Quickly Anymore

Americans' affinity for large SUVs seems unbreakable. Nearly half of the 25 best-selling passenger cars in the U.S. last year were SUVs. However, as the auto industry pivots towards electric vehicles, Toyota, the second-bestselling automaker in the U.S. behind General Motors in 2023, still doesn't offer an electric family SUV with space for seven passengers. Rivian, Kia, Mercedes and Tesla have already beaten Toyota in this race. But things are expected to turn around next year.

Toyota Three-Row Electric SUV: Everything We Know

In a world where automotive technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace, finding a vehicle that perfectly balances performance, efficiency, and reliability can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. 2024 brings a plethora of options, but how do you discern which vehicle stands out from the crowd? This year, the competition in the hybrid SUV market is fiercer than ever, with Japanese automakers leading the charge with innovative, cutting-edge designs and engineering marvels.

The Most Reliable Japanese Hybrid SUV In 2024

Fallston, MD

There’s nothing more exhilarating than the throaty sounds of a vintage Trans-Am racer carving its way through a road course as it downshifts into the legendary corkscrew at Laguna Seca Raceway. The scent of race fuel and rubber adds to the adrenalin rush that leaves an indelible mark on anyone who has experienced it. That passion inspired Steve Ramsey of Fallston, Maryland, to create that combination of vintage looks and potent performance in this wicked ’63 Ford Falcon GT. The Falcon’s diminutive size made it a perfect model to transform into a modern-day Trans-Am-style asphalt-burner by packing every inch of it with a speed shop’s-worth of go-fast goods and making it ferocious on the street, road course, or even the dragstrip, while delivering plenty of dependability.

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.

So, Ford's CEO Jim Farley dropped some pretty big news recently, and it might just shake up how we think about electric vehicles (EVs). Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Farley laid out what he sees as a necessary shift in the automotive industry—especially for those of us accustomed to big, powerful vehicles.

One of my favorite things about my GR Corolla and the factor that makes the car so engaging to drive is its six-speed manual transmission. That said, I understand that automatics are often quicker and have better fuel economy and that there are plenty of people who can’t or don’t want to drive a manual for one reason or another. Toyota knows that, too, moving to offer an eight-speed automatic in the related GR Yaris, which now appears to be making its way to the States in the 2025 GR Corolla.
