We changed everything but the name” is the slogan Renault has devised for its all-new, all-electric Scenic model, and, for better and for worse, that’s a fairly accurate appraisal. The old Scenic, originally the Megane Scenic from the 1990s, was an ovoid people carrier or “multipurpose vehicle”.  This new Scenic is a rather larger rectilinear affair, styled more as an SUV, as is the fashion (a little confusingly, Renault still also make a Megane, now electric, built on the same platform as the Scenic but a bit shorter).

The only manual V8 RWD sedan left in America is a compelling proposition all on its own; the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a reminder of what AMG used to be, and after being refreshed for 2025 with new looks and a 33-inch touchscreen, it's on par with German automakers in the interior tech department. The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing didn't get any performance enhancements when it was revealed at the beginning of this year, and we didn't think it needed any, but now Cadillac has addressed the issue with a new Precision Package that promises enhanced handling for all driving conditions.

America's Last Manual, V8, RWD Sedan Just Got Even Better For 2025

The manual transmission may be dying, but the 7-speed manual transmission is all but dead. This peculiar transmission type first popped up in 2012 with the introduction of the 991 generation of the Porsche 911. In that instance, Porsche and transmission supplier ZF engineered the manual and PDK to share many of the same components to help fuel economy and make parts more common along the range. Today, only one vehicle still uses a 7-speed manual in the US, and instead of speed and fuel efficiency, it's built for improved off-road prowess.

This week, a rather significant Maserati Quattroporte was delivered to a customer. Not only was it the last of the current Quattroportes, but it was also the final car Maserati will ever build with a V8 engine. The Italian marque hasn’t been without an eight-pot of some sort in its lineup since 1959, so it’s a big moment for the company, and one that’s got us feeling a little nostalgic.
