    Super Bee, Copperhead, And Wrangler Scrambler: 5 Dead Muscle Car Names Making A Comeback (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    One of the big takeaways from the Stellantis Investor Day that happened earlier this year was that SRT is back, and it's gearing up to launch an onslaught of new vehicles – 10 by 2030 to be exact – and many of them will be using old names. From a hot hatch to a full-blown sports car, with lots of stuff in between, SRT should have something for nearly everyone by the end of this decade. While some of them are still a couple of years away, a few of these long-dormant nameplates will be back in dea

    2027 Kia Telluride Vs 2027 Hyundai Palisade Vs 2027 Mazda CX-90: Which One Has the Better Interior? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In the fiercely competitive three-row crossover segment, companies go to great lengths to try to one-up each other and vie for the position as the family hauler to have. This manifests itself in a variety of ways, but one of the main areas we see this is on the interior, where things previously never imagined, like a heated third row, help one of these to nab the title of plushest offering in the class. The Kia Telluride is all-new for 2027, and the Hyundai Palisade was all-new last year. Meanwh

    Hyundai's $35,300 Sport Sedan Hits 60 mph Quicker Than A Civic Type R That Costs $10,000 More (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    The Hyundai Elantra N is one of the best performance values on the market today. It's one of the last affordable performance cars to offer both a quick-shifting dual-clutch automatic and an old-school 6-speed manual. It's also one of the highest-horsepower cars under $40,000 and it's the best handling sedan under that price as well. Its interior is no penalty box either, with big screens, heated seats, and even a Bose stereo. When all this goodness can be had for $10,000 less than a Honda Civic

    The 6 Loudest Supercharged V8s You Can Still Order Brand-New In 2026 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Supercharged V8s are a lot of fun, of course, but that hasn't saved them from slowly going the way of the dodo. While Americans can largely ignore emissions regulations for a couple more years, the rest of the world isn't doing the same. Foreign automakers have figured out that a modern turbocharged V8 gives you the same great boost without the parasitic loss and extra fuel burn of constantly turning a supercharger. Jaguar and Land Rover were the last two to let them go in the Defender and F-Pac

    The Quickest Manuals Still Sold In 2026, Ranked By 0-60 MPH Times (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The manual transmission is having a bittersweet year. On the positive side, there has been a huge resurgence in manual demand at the exotic and sports car level, with Porsche bringing it back on the Carrera S, and Nissan doing the same with the Z Nismo, for example. But we've also had many casualties in the past 12 months, from the loss of the 718 Cayman/Boxster, Supra, Z4, and CT4-V Blackwing, to affordable cars like the Civic Si, and the manual transmission for the Integra and Jetta GLI.
