Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

The new Ducati Panigale V4 was unveiled at the World Ducati Week, and it is a substantial upgrade over the outgoing model. As before, it has two versions, the Panigale V4 (with conventional suspension) for $25,995, and the S for $33,895. For the extra money, you get Öhlins electronic suspension at both ends and new forged wheels, among other things. Together, these bits make the V4 S one of the most capable superbikes out there, probably second to Ducati's own WSBK-spec Panigale V4 R. However, dive into the market, and you'll see the competition is higher than ever in this space. Big industry names offer sports bikes with similar features without the premium price tag borne by Team Red. So on that note, here are 10 cheaper alternatives to the new Panigale V4 S.

Four months early specs on two Dodge Charger Daytona First Editions leaked. Now, thanks to a YouTuber known as Butter da Insider, via Mopar Insiders, we've got what's claimed to be MSRPs for those First Editions; someone apparently took a picture of a Stellantis computer screen with the details. According to the dealer guides, the First Editions will only offer three exterior colors: Diamond Black, Triple Nickel and White Knuckle. Starting with the entry-level R/T First Edition, it comes with the eStage 1 Upgrade that adds 40 horsepower in PowerShot mode, taking peak output to 496 hp and 404 pound-feet of torque. The base configuration will come with the Demonic Red Seats with red and silver stitching and perforated inserts. Also standard is the Plus Group of heated and ventilated leather front seats and heated back seats, interior ambient lighting, a 16-inch gauge cluster, LED headlights with a full-width LED light bar, and illuminated door handles. The fully loaded version of this First Edition sheds the red interior but adds the Sun & Sound Group of a fixed tinted glass roof and 18-speaker, 914-watt Alpine audio. The Blacktop Appearance Package comes along as well, fitting dark 20-inch aluminum wheels on 255/45 all-season tires and some dark R/T graphics. Outside, the car sits on 20-inch aluminum wheels. The rumored price: $68,570 before destination.
