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.

Japan’s automakers have come a long way from their humble roots.

Now, however, the nation has established itself as one of the leaders in the automotive world, with many following its innovation.

10 Japanese Cars That Get You Performance And Luxury On The Cheap

Ford has updated the Mustang lineup for 2025, with some minor changes to equipment across the range and some significant price increases for all V8 models. Across the entire range, dual-zone automatic climate control is now standard fare, while GT Fastback models also get free access to leather-and-vinyl-trimmed seats, which were previously part of the $2,000 301A equipment package. In addition, the 10-speed automatic transmission is now a no-cost option (formerly $1,595), although enthusiasts will prefer the potentially fire-prone manual. However, it's not all good news. Some options carry heftier prices than in 2024, and some upgrades are no longer available. But first, let's start with pricing, which has gone up significantly for Coyote V8-powered Mustangs.

The Toyota GR Corolla was the Japanese brand’s most exciting arrival for the 2023 model year. After years of going unchallenged by its domestic rivals, the Honda Civic Type R finally has a worthy competitor that isn’t a hot Golf. The GR Corolla brings the expertise of Toyota’s performance division to a humble family nameplate, and it sets itself apart from many hatchback rivals by powering all four wheels. But the trick all-wheel-drive system is just one aspect of many that make the GR Corolla special. Let’s look at some of the key numbers that define the 2024 Toyota GR Corolla, from its 0-60 time to its dramatically strengthened construction compared to the normal Corolla.

Three words: Made in America. We Americans carry quite a bit of national pride when it comes to our homegrown car manufacturers, be they Fords, Chevys, or Mopar. On this, the fourth day of the month of July, we celebrate American independence. Given the current political climate, however, I know why I’m not feeling very patriotic, but it turns out our American car companies aren’t very patriotic either.

The pickup truck is synonymous with blue-collar Americans as a vehicle doing double duty as both a mode of transport and a means of carrying out hard work. The latter is a trait that would seem to perfectly line up with the concept of a manual gearbox, as both the pickup truck and the stick shift are signs that the operator is not afraid to put in the effort. The manual gearbox is simple, robust, and hard-working, as are America's pickups. So why, then, have their numbers dwindled?
