It hasn't been a great few weeks for BMW. After recalling nearly 400,000 3 Series models for airbag-related issues, the German marque had to recall a further 1,145 cars for the same problem. Now, it's the turn of the MY2018-MY2023 X3. A total of 292,112 examples have been recalled, as the interior cargo rail can become damaged in a rear collision, resulting in the detachment of the cargo rail.

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?

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.

V8s get a lot of attention when it comes to enthusiast cars, but the humble six-cylinder has become remarkably prevalent in an era where downsizing and turbocharging give you more power with a lower cylinder count. The six-cylinder strikes the balance between four and eight by providing a mix of an engine that can be smooth, reliable, and highly tuneable in the right scenarios. Six-cylinder engines in automotive use are typically found in four configurations:

Full-size luxury convertibles are scarce in today's automotive landscape, but Cadillac may be reviving the segment with the gorgeous Sollei, an all-electric concept that celebrates the automaker's legacy of high-end convertibles. Cadillac says the design pushes the envelope of "future bespoke commissions," which suggests the Sollei may make it to production - perhaps as a bespoke Spectre rival built in limited numbers. Sollei is a portmanteau of sun (Sol) and leisure (Lei), which is what this vehicle is all about.

In the 1960s, big-block engines were the top choice for muscle cars because they provided a lot of power by increasing engine size. However, these heavy engines made handling more difficult.

The MY2025 Odyssey arrives with subtle styling revisions, more standard features, enhanced technology, and a revamped rear entertainment system.
