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.

There's Only One 7-Speed Manual Car Left In America

Well before the NSX, Honda had a beautiful wedge-shaped concept called the HP-X—the brand's first modern concept car. Designed by Pininfarina, the HP-X debuted at the 1984 Turin Motor Show and previewed a radical, ultra-aerodynamic sports car. The HP-X had a 2.0-liter V-6 engine derived from Honda's Formula 2...

Mazda has revealed pricing and specifications for the 2025 CX-5, which has been around since 2017. While it's getting up there in age, the CX-5 is one of America's favorite small crossovers, with strong sales since it arrived. Mazda emphasizes value for money for MY2025 by reintroducing the entry-level 2.5 S trim, which comes in at a competitive $28,570. It would appear Mazda has discontinued the 2.5 S Premium trim.

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.

For many, the Mazda Miata MX-5 "is the answer" when it comes to a fun, affordable sports car. And why not? After all, the Miata has built itself quite the reputation over the course of the last four generations, offering consumers sharp, low-weight handling, plus legendary driver engagement. While not the quickest thing in a straight line, there should be little doubt that the Miata is a fantastic little roadster, especially in the twisty bits, and it's every bit deserving of its many titles and accolades. That said, when it comes to raw sales figures, the Miata is simply not the answer. In fact, there's one American sports car in particular that has outsold the plucky little Mazda by a factor of six this year.

The Nissan Skyline GT-R is one of the most revered, and almost mythical, sports cars in JDM lore. For those unfamiliar with it, the Nissan GT-R is the brand's halo sports car that became popular in the 90s and early 2000s in the U.S., mostly due to video games like “Gran Turismo ” and “Forza.” In the early 90s, the third-generation GT-R (R32) won the Japanese Touring Car Championship from 1990 to 1993, earning it the nickname “Godzilla.”

Intel, last week, announced it is moving strategically into the automotive market with its most advanced discrete graphics system, ARC.

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.

Contrary to the doom and gloom you see online about the demise of combustion-powered performance and luxury, the reality is that there are plenty of gas-drinking grand tourers still available for those who have the coin. Those who are in the enviable position of choosing from the current crop of flagship sports cars will no doubt consider the latest offerings from Maserati and Mercedes-AMG, the 2023 MC20 Cielo and the 2024 GT63. Maserati’s flagship looks the part of a supercar, with tight haunches and beautiful proportions; this one has a removable hard top, but there is an identical MC20 coupe. AMG’s offering is handsome, too, an evolution of the first-generation two-door hatchback complete with its signature long hood and gracefully resolved silhouette; opposite the MC20, it, too, is available as a droptop, though it’s technically a different albeit mechanically similar model: the newest SL-Class.
