Back in the early 1970s, a full-size Detroit sedan or coupe was still considered the American basic transportation unit. Ford was a superpower in that department in 1973, with the big Ford available as the Custom 500, Galaxie 500, LTD, and LTD Brougham that year. And if you wanted a wagon, sporty car, or econo-commuter, Dearborn had you covered in those departments as well.

The Toyota Prius might not have been a style icon when it launched in 1997, but it did quickly become a symbol of fuel savings. The fuel-sipper entered its fifth generation with the 2023 model year and ushered in a new era for ‘Yota’s hybrid. This new Prius sports a wholly redesigned shell but sticks with traditional hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains.

The 2000s were a remarkable decade for the automotive industry, marked by a surge in the development of high-performance sedans that took hair-brained performance and melted it together with practicality. Among some of these phenomenal machines were the Cadillac CTS-V and the Maserati Quattroporte, both of which set new benchmarks for what a sedan is capable of.

When senior editor Ezra Dyer recently presented the idea that convertibles only need around 150 horsepower to deliver a relaxing and sometimes sporty open-air experience, it made sense. However, the 2024 Mercedes-AMG SL63 S E Performance, which produces roughly five times that amount, presents an interesting counterargument.

Remember a time when you could get a manual gearbox in an all-wheel drive car and send it down a dusty trail for maximum fun? Those were the good days, and when rally racing and hot hatches hit their peak in the 1980s and 1990s, nothing made you feel more like a rally driver than the combination of AWD and a manual gearbox. But times have changed, the manual has fallen out of favor, and hot hatches, well, while there were once nearly a dozen or more to choose from, we're now down to just three or four genuine contenders. But of those that still remain, only one gives you that combination of a shift-it-yourself gearbox and drive to all four corners: the Toyota GR Corolla.

The high-performance pickup truck is nothing new, but recent entries in this class have tended to be off-road, dune-bashing beasts – think the Ford F-150 Raptor or Ram RHO. This, though, is the Ford Maverick Lobo, and it’s a very different interpretation of the performance truck. Around the...
