General Motors may have retired the Pontiac name more than a decade ago, but it continues to have tremendous brand recall among car enthusiasts worldwide. From the '50s and well into the '90s, Pontiac was behind some of the most iconic cars of the era. Some of the more popular cars from Pontiac's golden era include the Pontiac Firebird, GTO, and the Pontiac 2+2. These vehicles are usually the first ones that come to the minds of the average auto enthusiast when they think of legendary Pontiacs.

In most cases, electric vehicles (EVs) have a much higher initial purchase price when compared to an internal combustion engine (ICE) car. So, in order to get the best of both worlds, most people will land on a hybrid model. But for each hybrid, there can be steep depreciation over the first few years after its release, resulting in a lot of lost value. On the other hand, this means that the slightly older models are offered at a significant discount. For hybrid SUVs, there are only a handful of answers if you want something reliable, efficient, and at a good price point. The answer lies in Toyota.

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.

The Explorer’s more luxurious counterpart – the 2025 Lincoln Aviator – was on a similar trajectory, and also entered production alongside its platform mate.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter.

After having returned to the U.S. market as a mid-size pickup for the 2019 model year, the Ford Ranger has since gone on to receive a total redesign, and is quite a bit larger than the old, compact model that many of us remember – or owned in the past. Thus, earlier Ford Ranger models have become somewhat collectible as of late, though for the most part, we’ve seen newer examples from the late 1990s or 2000s make frequent appearances on collector car auction sites – not older models like this 1991 Ford Ranger XLT.
