The end of the world has seemingly arrived for car enthusiasts as the 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 emerges on US soil, now packing half as many cylinders and half as many turbochargers as before. In an effort to reduce pollution and save the polar bears, the AMG-flavored C-Class sedan ditches its fire-breathing twin-turbo V8 in favor of a turbocharged four-cylinder plug-in hybrid powertrain. This might seem like sacrilege against the worshipers of speed, but don't accuse AMG of heresy until you hear what the new C63 can do.

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.

Fans are essential in any garage, especially during the sweltering summer months. They not only cool us down but also keep air circulating, prevent stagnation, and maintain proper ventilation. While air conditioning would be ideal, it's often impractical or too costly for many garages. That's where fans come in, making those hot summer days more bearable.

There’s a lot of profit in selling SUVs, but you know what? These hot wagons are just damn cool. After three decades and two other generations of selling a wagon (or “estate”) version of its M5 in other markets, BMW finally sees fit to bring the latest M5 Touring to the U.S. market. To that, I and several other enthusiasts say “halle-freaking-lujah”. Later this year, this twin-turbocharged, plug-in hybrid wagon pumping out 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque will hit the market to take on the Audi RS6 Avant and, hopefully, a new version of the Mercedes-AMG E63 S Wagon.

BMW has completely redesigned the popular X2 compact SUV for the 2024 model year, enhancing the small crossover's "fastback coupe" styling. I've previously noted that these slope-backed crossovers have more appeal to buyers who want the SUV's all-weather capability, but don't necessarily like the square box design that most SUVs use.
                The thing to remember about the X2 is that first and foremost, this is a BMW, so performance is at the heart of the vehicle's personality. Like most automakers, BMW has gone to a...

BMW is set to unveil the next generation X5, codenamed G65, in 2026. Alongside the base model, BMW’s M Division will release a high-performance variant, the fourth-generation X5 M, codenamed G95, in 2027. Both models will be manufactured at the Spartanburg Plant in South Carolina. While details about the G65 and G95 remain scarce, early spy shots suggest strong influences from the Neue Klasse design language. According to a dealer who recently previewed the G65 X5, the new generation features X-shaped daytime running lights and slim, elongated taillights that give the vehicle a sporty, premium appearance. Recent spy photos also reveal a taller, wider, and thinner grille, with the license plate positioned lower into the bumper, similar to the new X3. Overall, the G65 and G95 X5 M models will be longer, heavier and sit lower than their predecessors. Sources who have seen the finalized design of the X5 M describe it as having a “mean look.”
