Bench racing will only get you so far. Car enthusiasts love to line up numbers on a spreadsheet to crown a performance king, but the real world isn't that simple. Take this Carwow race between a new Tesla Model 3 Performance and a Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. A competition between 460 hp and 601 hp, respectively. Open and shut. Hyundai by a mile.

Tesla Model 3 Performance Races Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: Not What You'd Expect

Around a decade ago, I was asked, for the first and last time, to attend an analyst meeting with the then-CEO of Ford. I told him that if he didn’t understand what Tesla was doing better, he’d lose his job, and the other analysts yelled me down, arguing that Ford was doing fine with electric cars. That CEO was gone in around two years, and now Hyundai has passed both Ford and GM, moving into 2nd place with electric car sales.

Why The Hyundai Ioniq 5 Has Resulted In Huge Market Share Gains

This morning I saw a Tesla Model 3 owner detail her frustrating experience with Tesla's service department, highlighting long distances, unfulfilled appointments, and storage charges. This negative experience led her to switch to the Hyundai Ioniq 6, which she believes to be superior in every way. And actually, I did review the Ioniq 6 here, and said it's the best alternative to the Tesla Model 3.

Cadillac has just rolled out the pricing schedule for the brand new, 2025 Escalade. This SUV has been one of the company's more popular models for decades, as it combines the luxury that the brand is known for with the utility of a larger and more versatile vehicle. The new 2025 model already has a lot of eyes on it ever since Cadillac reported that it would come with awesome new features like huge screens, V8 grunt, and power doors. Those who've been thinking about getting one of these vehicles might be interested in seeing what they would have to pay to get their hands on the latest model. That price will vary depending on what trim you decide to go with, however.

If you're in the market for any hybrid or plug-in hybrid vehicle in 2024, you're in for a treat. These electrified vehicles are experiencing rapid sales growth at the moment, and it's Toyota that's benefitting from this sales surge the most. It's no surprise that Toyota also has the broadest lineup of hybrids in 2024, giving buyers a diverse range of options if they want a practical, desirable, and highly efficient electrified vehicle that doesn't require any lifestyle change.

On paper, the Caterpillar Pickup checks all the boxes but one big one. On the positive side it is an automotive marvel. It is really good looking and has a far more classic pickup truck appearance than the Tesla Cybertruck monstrosity. It is designed for work but looks really nice. It has impressive ground clearance, built-in step rail, a really nice functional truck bed with multiple 120-volt plugs, an engineering wonder of a tail-gate that splits horizontally, decent (for a truck) aerodynamics, an integrated hidden winch, a huge cab, and some interesting power options that include a 500 HP Diesel with 1,000 lb. of Torque, a hybrid version with 450 HP and 600 lb. of Torque with an optimal 40-mile electric range, and an electric version with 600 HP and 850 lb. of torque (available at 0 RPMs) and a up to 300 miles of range.

It's not a big surprise that the manual-transmission SUV is next up on the chopping block for vehicles sending the manual the way of the dodo. The appeal of the manual gearbox largely has to do with driver engagement. The appeal of the sports utility vehicle is mostly down to convenience in the modern automotive landscape. These two qualities are, if not incompatible, at least difficult to counterbalance. Then you add cost concerns into the mix, and it's easy to see why SUV makers would rather avoid spending millions developing a new stick shift and passing the expenses on to the buyer in a segment that frequently competes on price alone.

Toyota has announced 2025 model year updates for the Sequoia. Completely redesigned for MY2023, the three-row SUV gains the 1794 Edition trim, a special paint color for the TRD trim, and more luxury for the front-row occupants. Already offered on the Tundra pickup truck, the 1794 grade gives customers more choice when specifying their Sequoia. These improvements come at a cost, though, with the 2025 Sequoia receiving a price hike. It would appear Toyota has discontinued the 4x2 variants of the Platinum and Capstone trims. CarBuzz has contacted Toyota USA for comment and will update the article once we receive a reply.

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.

I have not bought a Craftsman Tool in over three years. My last Craftsman Tool purchase was an impact wrench that I found on sale with a seasonal coupon that was just too good of a deal to pass on at the time. While the impact wrench has served me—as the old saw goes—“Good enough for Government work”, I know now that I could have done better with a Harbor Freight model that tested better for less money.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
