You wouldn’t be able to tell just by looking at it, but the new Volkswagen Transporter cargo van (also available as the Caravelle people carrier) shares its underpinnings with the Ford Transit. The Blue Oval also provides powertrains, which include several diesel engines, which remain popular in Europe despite their negative reputation, as well as plug-in hybrid and fully electric variants.

Another thing that just won't end is the horsepower war that continues to wage on, year after year. With EV manufacturers leaning towards sedan platforms, there has been a resurgence in sports sedans popularity. The EV market has cooled off more than most expected, with many reverting to hybrid tech. Because of that, we still luckily have a decent variety of sporty gas-powered sedans at our fingertips.

After slapping the Puma badge on a crossover, Ford is doing it again with another fabled European nameplate. Say hello to the new Capri, which represents a striking change from the fastback coupe sold between the late 1960s and the mid-1980s. While the original model was marketed as the Euro Mustang, its modern-day equivalent is just another electric SUV.
