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.

The only manual V8 RWD sedan left in America is a compelling proposition all on its own; the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a reminder of what AMG used to be, and after being refreshed for 2025 with new looks and a 33-inch touchscreen, it's on par with German automakers in the interior tech department.

A car is an intricate assembly of tens of thousands of parts, from tiny screws and washers to a sometimes massive engine block that can weigh well over 100 pounds. The failure of just one part like an ignition switch or coil wire can disable a car, and some vehicle components like engines and transmissions are made up of dozens or hundreds of even smaller parts. These intricate assemblies require a fascinating synchronicity of those parts to work correctly, as well as proper lubrication.

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.

Owning a vintage or classic car can be a fulfilling and educational experience. Some people enjoy buying antique vehicles in immaculate condition to add to custom collections or to cruise to car shows on the weekend. Others are all about the transformative experience of restoring a classic car.
