Ford reinvents its long-bonneted Seventies icon as a... big SUV-crossover thing spun off the Volkswagen ID.5. Skip 16 photos in the image carousel and continue reading. Fair odds that anyone over 40, upon seeing Ford’s new interpretation of the Capri, will spend five minutes simply saying ‘that’s not a Capri though, is it?’. And despite the Ford marketing department’s tenuous proclamations that this new Capri is ‘what the Capri would have been’ and that ‘the legend is back’, there’s precious little carryover from a long-bonneted two-door coupe that always seemed to smell strongly of four-star petrol and a five-seat, tall-riding, five-door semi-SUV.

It's the brand new Ford Capri! And yes, it's now an electric SUV

The super sedan isn't dead yet, far from it, in fact. It seems there are still drivers who prefer their sports cars with four doors. Another thing that just won't end is the horsepower war that continues to wage on, year after year. With EV manufacturers leaning towards sedan platforms, there has been a resurgence in sports sedans popularity. The EV market has cooled off more than most expected, with many reverting to hybrid tech. Because of that, we still luckily have a decent variety of sporty gas-powered sedans at our fingertips.

Add them together, and the lineup is the automaker's most popular model by far. However, Volkswagen is hard at work keeping the Atlas fresh, with a new model right around the corner.

After slapping the Puma badge on a crossover, Ford is doing it again with another fabled European nameplate. Say hello to the new Capri, which represents a striking change from the fastback coupe sold between the late 1960s and the mid-1980s. While the original model was marketed as the Euro Mustang, its modern-day equivalent is just another electric SUV.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has been on a transformative journey since it unveiled its “Reimagine” strategy over three years ago, with a focus on electrification. A significant part of this strategy is Jaguar’s transition to becoming an all-electric brand by 2025. In a recent interview with Automotive News Europe, a JLR spokesperson announced a major shakeup: by the end of this year, six Jaguar models will be discontinued.

The Nissan Z is the latest in a long line of iconic sports cars. I enjoyed the Z's twin-turbocharged V6, 6-speed manual gearbox, and retro looks. 

I drove the new $55,000 Nissan Z, and it lives up to its reputation as an iconic sports car

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.

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.
