The Hyundai Elantra N has only been around for two years, and Hyundai is already fiddling with its compact performance sedan. Not only does the turbocharged four-door get the same updated face and rear bumper as the rest of the Elantra lineup does for 2024, it also scores revisions to its engine mounts, suspension bushings, stability control system, and steering linkage. For those really into the weeds with Hyundai’s N cars, the Elantra even gets new recommended tire pressures front and rear.

For many, the Mazda Miata MX-5 "is the answer" when it comes to a fun, affordable sports car. And why not? After all, the Miata has built itself quite the reputation over the course of the last four generations, offering consumers sharp, low-weight handling, plus legendary driver engagement. While not the quickest thing in a straight line, there should be little doubt that the Miata is a fantastic little roadster, especially in the twisty bits, and it's every bit deserving of its many titles and accolades. That said, when it comes to raw sales figures, the Miata is simply not the answer. In fact, there's one American sports car in particular that has outsold the plucky little Mazda by a factor of six this year.

The V-6 engine used to be the happy medium, providing more power than a four-cylinder and better gas mileage than a V-8. Now, thanks to forced induction, V-6s can chug gas with the best of them and outperform many iconic eight-cylinders. In fact, there are cars packing V-6 engines that blow away anything with a Hemi V-8 under the hood.

Who knew the first high-volume EV from Ram and Stellantis would be a delivery van? We certainly didn’t—the Ram Rev comes to mind—but Ram expects the Class 2 commercial van segment to grow until 2026, where it will stabilize though the end of the decade. The 2024 ProMaster EV is Ram’s electric entry into the segment, and with two electric models planned, it hopes to capture as much of that business as it can.

It’s not exactly Doc Brown’s DeLorean, but the Kia EV9 can show you the future.

We’re speeding toward a day when using a phone as a car key, receiving weekly over-the-air updates, and downloading new features at the tap of a button are the norm. For Kia EV9 drivers like us, that future is today’s reality.

Rimac Automobili recently wiped out all of its social media posts, which is something that a brand usually only does when things are going very well or very badly. Either way, the decision always signifies the start of something new, and for Rimac, that something new is teased as "a new vision" and "the next big thing." The Rimac Automobili website shows a pixelated image with more than 40,000 pixels still to be revealed at the time of writing, and every comment on Rimac's social media posts, as well as every share of the post to individual feeds, will reveal another pixel, according to the automaker.
