'The Worst Of Both Worlds:' Polestar Slams Plug-In Hybrids

People are spoiled for choice when shopping for a new car. Gasoline, diesel, mild hybrid, full hybrid, plug-in hybrid, battery EVs, and even fuel-cell hydrogen vehicles all make up today’s vastly diverse automotive universe. However, one automaker has put all its eggs in the electric basket and no longer considers…

Mazda Will Keep Its Cheapest Cars Alive In Some Markets

It’s been five years since Mazda discontinued the CX-3 and more than a decade since it killed the 2 in the United States. Sadly, the company has no plans to bring either model back to America. That said, Mazda continues to sell the two compacts in other markets and will…

BMW Says In-Car Subscriptions Make Sense

BMW got the memo about putting heated seats behind a paywall and abandoned the harshly criticized subscription service. However, that doesn’t mean it’s completely moving away from charging extra for features you might want after buying the car. The company’s thinking is that a customer may want to save money…

Audi CEO: A Truck Is The Last Thing We'd Build

Audi is known for thinking outside the box, and the quirky A2 is probably the best example of Ingolstadt’s willingness to experiment. There was also a time when you could buy a Q7 with a V12 diesel engine, while an R8 powered by a five-cylinder nearly became reality. At one…

'It Should Not Be Bigger:' Porsche Explains Why a Plug-In Hybrid 911 Won't Happen

As with most vehicles as they age, today's Porsche 911 is bigger than its predecessors. That said, it's also safer, more luxurious, more capable, and as of recently, electrified. But even as the 911 has grown, Porsche has no plans to fundamentally change the shape of its iconic sports car just…

Lexus F Models May Be in Trouble

Remember the original Lexus IS F? Lexus took an otherwise ordinary compact luxury sedan, stuffed a snarling 5.0-liter V-8 under the hood, added flared fenders and stacked exhaust tips, and unleashed it into the world. That car kicked off an entire lineup of V-8-powered F models, including the RC F…

Honda Engineers Want a New S2000. We're Not Holding Out Hope

Honda introduced the S2000 at the turn of the century, just over 25 years ago. It was a purpose-built convertible sports car that the automaker produced for a decade, and rumors of its return swirled for years, with no new car ever materializing. There are no definitive plans to resurrect the model, but there’s clearly still…

Toyota Says What Everyone Thinks: Mild-Hybrids Aren't Really Hybrids

For many decades, choosing a powertrain for your next car was simple. You had to pick between gasoline and diesel engines, and that was largely it. In the last couple of decades, however, as technology has advanced and emissions regulations have tightened, buyers have been flooded with acronyms that make…

Toyota Planning a New Sports Car Without Anyone's Help

Developing a dedicated sports car is no easy task. Automakers must engineer bespoke parts for a model that won’t sell in large numbers. Without the ability to spread costs by sharing components with mainstream cars and SUVs, achieving economies of scale becomes nearly impossible. Slapping on a high price tag…

BMW Isn't Ruling Out an Electric Sports Car

Combustion-engine purists will argue there’s no such thing as a "fun electric car," but if any brand can disprove that oxymoron, it’s probably BMW. Munich is taking its time launching the first full-fat M without a gas engine, with the M3 EV not expected to arrive until around 2028. When…

The Hyundai Elantra N Will Live To See Another Generation

The seventh-generation Hyundai Elantra isn’t that old, but there are already rumors that the automaker will soon replace the sedan. When it does, the next-generation model will likely include a performance N variant, and it won’t have any electrical assist to get in the way of the fun.

Hyundai Is Building a Real Pickup Truck

The Hyundai Santa Cruz pickup debuted in the US in 2021, and it's been a solid alternative to the Ford Maverick ever since. But it's not a real pickup truck—it's a Tucson with a bed. Now, though, Hyundai has confirmed production of a real, genuinely capable pickup. It just probably…

BMW: Four-Cylinder Engine Isn't Good Enough for an M3

BMW has been widely criticized for its odd design language, but the Bavarian luxury brand has done some things right. It has pledged to keep its large-displacement engines as long as legally possible while retaining the manual gearbox alive in several M cars and the Z4 M40i roadster. Even though…

Aston Martin Says Emissions Regulations Are Killing the V-12

Last year, Alex Long, Aston Martin's Director of Product Strategy, spoke the simple truth about what enthusiasts really want—big engines. The bigger the powertrain, the more it creates a "true emotional connection" between the driver and the car. But time is running out for these "dinosaurs" of the automotive industry.…

With Alpine signing Colapinto, is Hirakawa right to continue to dream about F1?

Ryo Hirakawa’s move to Alpine as a test and reserve driver was overshadowed by the news that ex-Williams racer Franco Colapinto has been appointed for the same role on Thursday. Beyond obvious questions as to why Alpine chose to have three drivers for a position usually held by a single…

Mazda Will Make a New RWD, Six-Cylinder Sedan Under One Condition

When Mazda killed the 6 in Japan at the beginning of the year, it ruled out a next-generation sedan on the new rear-wheel-drive platform. Why? The company said its large SUVs with inline-six engines would act as their replacements (which they're not). The statement followed a similar announcement made in…

Nissan's Next Nismo Model Will Be a 'Beast' of an SUV

In 2015, Nissan did the unthinkable: It launched a Nismo-badged SUV. The Patrol (Armada in the United States) was souped up for the Middle East with extra power and more aggressive styling. The full-size, body-on-frame performance SUV got a facelift in 2021, but we’re hearing the next-gen model will retain…
