Toyota has taken a bold approach with the all-new Camry by ditching the much-loved V-6 powertrain option, while only keeping the four-cylinder hybrid option. Toyota motivates this decision by revealing that most of its customers prefer their Camry models with a downsized engine by a near 94-percent margin. Toyota's hybrid systems are some of the most appreciated and admired pieces of drivetrain technology thanks to the brand's nearly 27-year experience in the field that dates back to the original Camry.

To the uninitiated, the Toyota Camry and Lexus ES are unlikely sparring partners due to their different classes. The 2025 Toyota Camry is an economical mid-sized sedan, while the Lexus ES is the premium brand's mid-sized entry-level sedan. Both are the bread and butter of their respective brand's sedan lineup, and both have made leaps and bounds in technology and style to get to where they are today.

The Lexus LC500 is not doing very well. After a banner year of 2,782 sales in 2021, Lexus moved fewer than half that many units in 2022. An uptick was recorded in 2023, and year-to-date sales for 2024 have outpaced those of last year. Regardless, it’s not looking like the LC500 will surpass its sales prime.

Four-cylinder engines still don't have the same cachet as their bigger 6-and-8-cylinder siblings, but the auto industry is in love with them. Using a turbocharged 4-pot is an easy way to reach traditional 6- and 8-cylinder power while simultaneously reducing emissions. Although the 4-cylinder might never reach the iconic status of a V8, there are some impressive examples out there.

We are unabashed fans of the Lexus LC. With its smooth and sonorous 471-horsepower V8 under the hood, concept car come-to-life styling, and luxurious and detailed interior, there's an argument to be made that it's the finest grand touring car on the market here in 2024. Particularly as Lexus fixed it's biggest niggle - the only thing we complained about.

5 Affordable Car Brands That Will Last Over 10 Years With Proper Maintenance

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ll be aware that multi-million-dollar cars require eye-watering amounts of money just for simple maintenance and servicing, especially if it’s a Bugatti. Over the years, we’ve had many Bugatti owners tell us how insanely expensive it is to own a hypercar. While a 27-year-old recently claimed that his $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Carbon goes a mere 62 miles on a full tank of fuel, renowned entrepreneur and influencer Manny Khoshbin has given a detailed account of the ownership cost of his Veyron in the past. He claimed that all fluids have to be changed each year, and that costs a whopping $25,000.

The owner of a $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron was shocked when the official service center quoted him $12,000 to replace a faulty door mirror switch. The clever owner took it to a supercar specialist who swapped it with an identical part from a Volkswagen van, which cost just $1.

Both Lexus and Toyota have been killing the game in 2024 with success across a variety of automotive segments. Toyota knows that it's lonely at the top, but they aren't looking to give up their dominance in the automotive space anytime soon. The industry-standard compact SUV, the 2024 Toyota RAV4, is the best-selling Japanese vehicle in America. The Lexus IS Line has the highest overall reliability ratings for any Japanese car in 2024. What exactly can't the Japanese brand do?
