When it comes to blending luxury and performance, the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a serious piece of equipment with its supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine, delivering a staggering 668 horsepower and a top speed of 205 mph. Priced at a competitive point, it offers a remarkable balance of power and cost. However, for those seeking even greater speeds without breaking the bank, several cars on the market exceed the CT5-V Blackwing’s performance while remaining under $150,000. This list highlights ten such vehicles, showcasing that high performance and affordability can indeed go hand in hand.

Cadillac’s big hauler gains an update for 2025. I won’t say the current fifth-generation Escalade is aging, but 2021 was its last major redesign. In the world of autos, that’s an eternity. Sure, the company has poked and prodded its iconic SUV since, updating some styling details and adding new tech inside to keep with the times.

The Cadillac Sollei is an all-electric, 2+2 convertible that’s a “design exercise”, at least for now. This is far from the first time Cadillac has introduced a larger-than-life convertible concept.

Which luxury electric SUV would you choose, the Acura ZDX or Cadillac Lyriq? After slashing financing rates, the Acura ZDX may be a better buy than the Cadillac Lyriq or Chevy Blazer EV. With up to $7,200 off a fully loaded ZDX, Acura looks to take a piece of the EV market.

Decades ago, before General Motors was anything like the homogenized company it is today, brands under its wide-reaching corporate umbrella operated mostly independently of one another. Competition between the marques was commonplace and, in some cases, even encouraged by GM senior management. That meant each brand, for the most part, came up with their own engine designs. That all changed in the mid-1970s when GM shifted its outlook to be more streamlined and, unfortunately, cheaper.

As has historically been the case, the debut of the all-new 2024 Ford Mustang was quickly followed by the release of a large number of new parts and accessories for the S650 generation pony car. Long one of the most popular models to customize, the newest Mustang carries on that tradition of giving owners countless options when it comes to altering the looks and performance of their rides, with Roush Performance continuing to add to that list.

For the first time, Porsche has officially shown off the fourth-generation Cayenne, albeit with heavy camouflage. But it's no secret that this time, it's also a rival to the likes of Tesla and Rivian when it goes on sale sometime in 2025 or 2026. But Porsche's also got a back-up plan of sorts if those buyers aren't ready to go fully electric.

Porsche production manager Albrecht Reimold tells Automobilewoche that the 718 lineup, comprised of the Boxster and Cayman, will end production in 2025. Porsche has already been forced to retire the 718 twins in Europe due to more stringent cybersecurity regulations (and the Macan along with it). More stringent emissions requirements across the pond would have done the pair in at some point as it is. The 718’s electric replacement is underway, and while Reimold didn’t share further details on the upcoming models, it’s hard to imagine Porsche will leave much of a gap between the end of 718 production and the next model’s introduction.
