Just 860 examples of this glorious, Performance Pack-equipped special edition will be offered in the US. Skip 16 photos in the image carousel and continue reading. Toyota calls this new Hakone Edition “a blast from the past”, but it’s not referring to the old-school 2+2, three-pedal layout of the GR86.

This assembly kit creates an R/C model of the Citroën front-wheel drive saloon car DS which was honored with third place in the 1999 Car of the Century awards. In 1955, the Citroën DS was announced in Paris and it was sometimes dubbed the “spaceship’’ for its aerodynamic design. This model artfully captures that legendary styling with a lightweight polycarbonate body, based upon the compact 2WD of the MB-01 chassis. Chrome plated wheels are paired with radial tires.

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 Porsche introduced the electric Macan at the beginning of the year, it only showed the 4 and Turbo models. Now the rear-wheel-drive and 4S trims join the lineup.

It wasn’t terribly long ago that one could purchase a nice F-Series pickup from the 1990s for reasonable money, but things have certainly changed as old models quickly skyrocketed in value. These days, finding a clean Ford pickup of any kind from the modern era for little money isn’t exactly an easy task, but there are still some decent deals to be found here and there. It’s unclear if this 1989 Ford F-250 will land on that list, but it’s certainly a solid target for anyone in the market for one, regardless.

The Honda Odyssey gets another facelift after its last revamp in 2021. While sedans are exiting the market left and right, the long-standing players in the minivan market continue to duke it out for their slice of the family hauling market each year. The 2025 Honda Odyssey gets some updates aiming to keep it competitive in the segment, including some fresh styling as well as some noteworthy tech updates. In line with some of its crossovers, Honda also saw fit to drop its base model from the lineup, making the Odyssey EX-L the new entry point (rather than the EX, as it was in 2024) with a higher $43,315 price tag.
