Rumored Toyota GR Corolla Feature Won't Please Enthusiasts

The upcoming Q4 e-tron will soon introduce a more affordable electric option to the Audi brand, but the push towards EVs won't stop there. Audi has already confirmed that its two smallest European models, the A1 and Q2, will not receive new generations and will instead be replaced by EVs. A new report from German publication Auto Motor und Sport now claims that the next-generation Audi A3 Sedan won't be offered with a gasoline-powered variant.

At the 1954 Detroit Auto Show, Ford lifted the lid on a two-seater convertible that, to this day, is much loved by enthusiasts and collectors alike. Introduced as the Thunderbird, the gorgeous styling and V8 powertrains brought many into Dearborn's fold and, interestingly, the Blue Oval's offering outsold the Corvette of the day by thousands.

Under the hood of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupe sits a masterpiece of engineering. There you'll find a potent, turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 with 541 horsepower and 567 lb-ft of torque. That translates into a 3.7-second dash to 60 mph and a top speed of 177 mph - although we've seen some examples hit 185 mph. Still, if these numbers leave you uninspired, perhaps Manhart's CRT 800 will interest you.

Following the launch of the ID.4 SUV, Volkswagen has an electrified product onslaught currently in the works. CarBuzz recently discovered a new trademark filing with the EUIPO, which reveals the name for one of these upcoming ID-branded EVs. VW trademarked the name "ID.7 Tourer" on May 17, 2022, likely for a production version of the stunning ID.Space Vizzion Concept from the 2019 LA Auto Show.

The BMW 3 Series is a true icon of the German automotive landscape, and the global one too, for that matter. It's been around for decades, and while some generations are better than others, they all have the same goal: to be the best. The current G20 generation was launched in 2019, so it's due for an update, and while some markets have given us an early preview of what to expect, we've had little more than rumors to help us as we try to predict what changes are coming for the segment-defining benchmark. Fortunately, the time for speculation has now come to an end, and the new 2023 BMW 3 Series is here to show Audi and Mercedes who's boss.

Electric vehicles like the Tesla Model S Plaid have entirely redefined our definitions of rapid acceleration. Before, a Nissan GT-R cracking 60 mph in under three seconds was considered blistering, but now we're rapidly being conditioned to believe the 0-60 time needs to have a one as the first number. While we believe this never-ending search for quicker acceleration is completely pointless, Bentley seems to be ready to meet customer demands.

If you've got around $220,000 burning a hole in your Gucci wallet, you may want to take a look at the Ferrari Roma. Maranello's grand tourer is a thing of beauty; sweeping graceful lines flow from stem to stern and hint at the continent-crossing performance on offer - under the long hood sits a twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 with 612 horsepower.

Japanese automakers need to make a change in regard to EVs. At least, according to climate thinktank InfluenceMap. The organization recently conducted a study that found Honda, Nissan, and Toyota to all be the least prepared for a transition to zero-emissions vehicles compared with their competition. You don't have to look hard to see it either. Right now, Honda is set to produce the e:Ny1 for the 2024 model year, but its EV offerings aren't expanding as rapidly as other OEMs.

If anyone is having a tough time with markups right now, it's Ford. The brand's models, like the Ford Bronco, have long suffered from unreasonable markups from dealers. It's a story we've all heard before, and it's starting to repeat itself with the Ford F-150 Lightning. Platinum trim models are already marked up past $100,000.

The bastion of dependability that is the Toyota Tacoma has arrived for the 2023 model year, sporting new packages for the SR5 trim. The rugged midsize truck is now available with a decidedly classy Chrome Package. Those who opt for this package will gain 18-inch polished wheels, while the door handles, exhaust tip, and tailgate badging also receive the chrome treatment. Inside, a leather-wrapped gear lever lends the cabin a premium touch.

Towing is what trucks are for. Well, at least, that's one thing they can be used for. Ford, being one who makes trucks, has filed patents to make towing a little easier. The patent was filed back in September of 2019 and was published on May 17 this year. In short, Ford is expanding its current repertoire of trailer-oriented driver assists to include sideswipe avoidance. We're expecting it to be available via software updates or as options from the factory on trucks like the F-150 Lightning.

Despite its age and various flaws, the 2022 Lexus RX is the Japanese automaker's best-selling product here in the US. Lexus has attempted to keep the RX relevant with the addition of Apple CarPlay and some sporty Black Line packages, but it's time for an all-new model. We've known for a while that the next-generation RX was in the works, but now Lexus has officially provided a reveal date.

Volkswagen has been working very hard on electrification and design as it aims to bring Tesla down, and the latest reveal from the German automaker is the ID.Buzz electric van. As you may already know, the bus that was revealed in March is destined for European shores, and American buyers will have access to a longer-wheelbase model with more power and possibly even some unique features. The regular version has some pretty cool features too, and VW expects that this new offering will be extremely popular. Of course, part of its potential success depends on what it costs, and now Volkswagen has finally revealed pricing for the first-ever ID.Buzz.

The BMW XM is arguably the most hated car on the internet right now, but while the Concept model that previews the final production version is certainly designed to go viral, it appears that BMW is showing a little bit of restraint with the final design. Numerous spy shots have already suggested that the jaggedness and extremism of its design will be pared back somewhat, and now we have our first clear look at the final styling and it confirms that, while this will still be a very controversial machine, it will be slightly more conventional than originally anticipated. Not much, but a little.

With the Cadillac Lyriq now rolling down the production line, General Motors is hoping to claw its way into the fiercely competitive EV luxury crossover segment. Monied buyers have plenty of choices already; Tesla's Model X and the Jaguar I-Pace provide a modern package with plenty of tech and performance.

Mercedes-Benz has some big reveals coming up. In the next few weeks alone, the German automaker will reveal a new GLC-Class, an AMG-Vision electric sports car, and a new special edition Maybach model. With so many new products (especially electrified ones) on the horizon, Mercedes thought it was a good time to publish some of its long-term goals as the world's most valuable car company.

Having made its debut mere months ago, and with order books allegedly opening soon, people are still going crazy about the new Chevrolet Corvette Z06. This high-performance version of the already impressive C8-generation sports car has caused such a stir that someone recently paid $3.6 million for the very first one, and we've seen dealers putting a $100k markup on these all-American sports cars before they even arrive. While we've been privy to information about what will power the Z06, some information is still as-yet-unpublished, like acceleration figures and top speed. But the latter may have been revealed as someone just spotted something interesting in the car's owner's manual that hints at a 200+ mph V-max.

In recent years, Hyundai (along with sister brands Kia and Genesis) has proven itself to be a stellar carmaker, often producing vehicles (like the Telluride) that outclass the European, Japanese and American competition. And it seems this trend is carrying over into the EV segment. Perusing the latest US electric...

In 2021, Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus announced plans to build an all-terrain car called the 008. Our first glimpse at the proposed concept had us salivating. With futuristic dune buggy styling, it looked as if someone had prepared a supercar for the apocalypse, with its sleek bodywork propped up by massive tires and lifted suspension.

Apart from the Hummer EV and Yukon, GMC doesn't have any exciting products at the moment. That's perfectly fine, considering its part of the much larger General Motors conglomerate, and has its place selling more upmarket models based on Chevrolets. It made some waves recently after the unveiling of the Yukon Denali Ultimate, but it stays quietly in the background for the most part.
