As car enthusiasts, it’s basically our moral obligation to love fast estate cars, even if the actual market for something that’ll outdrag a supercar while easily swallowing up a family of five and a boisterous labradoodle is incredibly niche. The latest entrant in this segment that gets car nerds all sweaty and cross eyed is one we’ve been particularly excited about: the G91 BMW M5 Touring.

The New BMW M5 Touring Is Here And Your Dog Is Going To Hate It

Guess who’s back? That’s right: a 7.3-litre V12 monster with a manual gearbox. Skip 6 photos in the image carousel and continue reading. This is the Pagani Zonda Arrivederci, what we’re promised really is the very, very last new Zonda. Though try telling that to a hypercar that simply refuses to leave the party at a respectable hour.

This really is the last one: behold, the V12 Pagani Zonda Arrivederci

The sad truth that every car enthusiast has faced over the past decade is that the manual transmission is slowly being phased out. While there are certain cars in the market like the Honda Civic Si, Acura Integra Type S, Mazda MX-5, and some pony cars still available with a stick shift, most other models are not. Let's face it, most drivers look at driving as something to do between point A to B, while enthusiasts look at it as an experience to be enjoyed.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

The list includes rigorous testing and evaluation by a panel of the publication's editors who consider factors such as horsepower, torque, fuel economy, and the application of new technologies. Many iconic engines have appeared multiple times on the list since its inception in 1994.

With its production run spanning four decades, and eight generations, the Pontiac Grand Prix was among the GM-owned carmaker's most popular vehicles. For most of the decade after its 1962 introduction, Pontiac positioned the Grand Prix as a full-size performance coupe. Over successive generations, however, the car would undergo several transformational changes, culminating in it eventually becoming a four-door sedan by the time its production run ended in 2008. Well over a decade since the last Pontiac Grand Prix rolled out of the assembly lines, the car is still very much in demand — especially the older variants of the car dating back to the '60s and '70s.

We’ve all seen those videos on TikTok of some brave soul charging into a gigantic puddle along some tiny country road, only for their car to comically seize up moments later in a plume of steam.

For a number of years, a company called Centurion Vehicles based in White Pigeon, Michigan, created a handful of models that The Blue Oval didn’t at the time – including large SUVs based on the F-Series, not to mention oddities like van/pickup conversions with dual rear wheels. These Ford Centurion models are quickly becoming red-hot collector’s items, meaning that this 1990 C-350 is more likely than not to attract a lot of attention at auction.
