As the automotive world edges closer to an all-electric future, some brands are making the most of their high-performance internal combustion engines before they bid them farewell. The 2025 Audi RS3 and Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing are prime examples of this, both featuring a unique combination of performance features that almost put them in a league of their own. Turbocharging unites them, but from there, they're wildly different: five-cylinder to V6, AWD to RWD, manual to DCT.

Kia phased out the Cadenza from the United States in 2021, but later that year, a replacement was launched in South Korea. In its domestic market, the big sedan had been known as the K7, but for the latest generation, it switched to the K8 moniker. Now, there's a mid-cycle update.

While the world moves more and more towards an eco-friendly future, certain aspects of the automotive industry suffer. As emission restrictions tighten and Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) metrics become harder and harder for manufacturers to meet, engine sizes are becoming smaller in order to meet those goals. That's why we've seen so many six-cylinder engines drop to four-pots, while V8s have been downgraded (or upgraded depending on where you stand) to twin-turbocharged sixes.

We’ve all had our “Oh, crap!” moments—I remember running over my own foot when I used a screwdriver to bridge the starter solenoid in my 1967 Camaro when it was still in gear. I also saw a buddy’s hood nearly ripped off when he failed to latch it all the way. Stuff happens, and if you’re lucky the damage is minimal and you learn a lesson. Sometimes those lessons cost a bit more, when luck takes a vacation, and things go as badly as possible.

If you have a basic understanding of how a turbocharged engine like the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla's souped-up three-cylinder works, it's not hard to figure out that they pose reliability issues you won't get with a naturally aspirated engine. Before we get into the higher heat and pressure that comes with turbocharging, the bottom line is there are more moving parts, meaning there's more stuff that can break.

When it comes to the outgoing Chevrolet Equinox, our opinions were... mixed. A perfectly fine compact SUV, it was nevertheless generally bland and featured a turbocharged powertrain with lag akin to turbo cars of a bygone era, only without the power to match. Well, now there is a new gas-fired Equinox for 2025 (there's also a fancy electric one). It’s not exactly all-new given the carryover mechanicals, but it does have a fresh new bod and interior and it seems the bow-tie folks at GM took everyone’s complaints to heart.
