Why This 717 Horsepower BMW M5 Touring Could Finally End America's Wagon Hate

Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) are often considered the perfect bridge between traditional gasoline-powered cars and fully electric vehicles (EVs), offering you the best of both worlds and a way to dip your toes into the EV segment without diving in completely. With the ability to switch between electric power and internal combustion, these vehicles promise a more sustainable and cost-effective driving experience. However, despite their potential, many PHEV owners aren't really taking advantage of this because they simply aren't plugging the vehicles in.

When it comes to building engines, one philosophy is that the bigger, the better. Six cylinders? Why not eight? Ten? Twelve? Another philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. If you can get supercar specs out of six cylinders, why drag the car down with all that extra aluminum and cast iron? Track records are frequently made and broken on a difference of 100 pounds of curb weight, and with how much juice you can get out of turbochargers and electric motors these days, it's no wonder some of the quickest cars in the world have some of the leanest engines.

The Toyota RAV4 Is The New Camry For More Than One Reason

Let’s face it, America is primarily a four-wheeler-dominated market. Trucks, SUVs, and muscle cars have been the driving forces for years, and you’ll spot them way more than any other automobile. Accordingly, motorcycles have largely been considered sidekicks or simply fun purchases rather than essential items. As a domino effect, purely American bikemakers are a rarity, and there’s a high chance you can count them all on one hand.
