Sedans are one of the best examples of Darwinism in the automobile business. The companies that still make them — mainly Toyota, Honda, Hyundai — do a fine job with them. This notion came into sharp focus for me during a recent test drive of the 2025 Toyota Camry. Once derided as the color beige manifested onto four wheels, the latest Camry has sleek, edgy styling, a nicely appointed interior and hybrid power. I spent a week with an XSE model, and I have five thoughts.

The 2025 Mazda CX-70 is an all-new SUV with two rows of seating and plenty of room for cargo. It slots in just below the three-row CX-90, and the two have a lot in common - this is pretty much a CX-90 minus that extra row. It’s so much the same that the third-row cupholders still exist in the CX-70 even though there is no third row. What’s going on here?

When Toyota launched the Land Cruiser (300 Series) in 2021, it didn't give it a V-8 or a US visa for that matter. Then the 250 Series came along in 2023, and while it's available in North America, there's no engine with eight cylinders. Heck, there isn't even one with six. A third flavor of the Land Cruiser is available in some markets. It used to have a big ol' V-8, but not anymore.

The time of only budget-minded vehicles coming with four cylinders is over. Today, even luxury vehicles. SUVs come with small, four-cylinder engines. At one time, these engines were only good for small vehicles that did nothing more than driving around town in the past. Today, that’s certainly not the case and performance from four-cylinder engines has increased dramatically in recent times.

Toyota is one of the most popular car makers in the United States, with the company producing the Tundra and Tacoma trucks for those who need something a bit more utilitarian than a sedan. These models are some of the most reliable Toyota trucks available, but you may have noticed that U.S. residents do not get the Hilux, with the Tacoma taking over the pickup line for Toyota after the Hilux left the U.S.

( ) – Small SUVs and crossovers have replaced midsize sedans as the best-selling cars in the U.S. because they offer a combination of roomy interior space, practical cargo space, car-like maneuverability, and some of the highest EPA-rated fuel economy numbers available in a traditional front-wheel drive or all-wheel-drive SUV. And while higher gas prices have forced buyers to reconsider fuel economy when shopping for a new car, buyers should also research advanced safety features, like adaptive cruise control, and convenience factors like the infotainment system and automatic parking, before committing to a purchase.

It’s a strange time to be an auto enthusiast. As an outpouring of all-electric models hits the market, long-standing nameplates that were once mainstays of our automotive landscape are falling to the wayside on what feels like a weekly basis. With the arrival of the next-generation Audi A5, we bow our heads in remembrance of the fallen as the German automaker discontinues the A4 sedan in favor of a slimmed-down car platform. While we mourn the loss of yet another low-slung gas-powered car, Audi has given us plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the code-named B10 A5.
