This Isuzu Truck Is the Coolest Restomod We've Ever Seen

Anyone with a few hundred thousand dollars and half a business sense can restomod a Ford Mustang or Porsche 911. Yawn. It takes a truly unique mind to reinvent the 1988 Isuzu TFR as a modern pickup. Thankfully, that's exactly what Isuzu engineers did for the Bangkok International Motor Show.

Boxy Is Back: Why SUVs Are More Square Than Ever

Blob-shaped crossovers dominate our roads. It’s impossible to avoid them, each more devoid of appeal than the last. Aerodynamics and safety standards have shaped today’s cars to be largely the same flavor of bland. A few special vehicles break from that mold.

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera S Is Annoyingly Perfect: First Drive Review

Carrera is an evocative word—Spanish for "race." Once upon a time, Porsche reserved that term for its most hardcore sports cars, ones that required specialist knowledge to operate. Famously, the Fuhrmann four-cam in the original 1955 Porsche 356A Carrera was essentially a race engine that would shake itself to death…

Meet Hyundai's Adorable Drift Machine

As much as we’d love for Hyundai to bring its ultra-compact Inster EV Stateside, the brand’s battery-powered lineup in the US is already pretty robust, with the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, and Kona. But we may not make it to the new year without the Insteroid. We need it. Right…

The Lexus LX Overtrail Is the King of Toyota Trucks: Video Review

I love Toyota trucks, but I was skeptical here. With a $115,350 starting price, how could the 2025 Lexus LX700h Overtrail justify a $42,000 premium over the superb GX550 Overtrail? Surely, there’s no way it’s worth it? But after a day on the trail, I realized I was asking the…

Watch In Agony as a BMW M5 Safety Car Crashes

The Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, served as an eventful third round of the 2025 MotoGP season.

Want a Two-Door Bronco With a V-6? It'll Cost You

When the new Ford Bronco debuted in 2021, it was available in dozens of two- and four-door configurations. And that's been the case for the past few years. However, those wanting the stubbier version with a V-6 have fewer options to choose from in 2025—and it will cost you quite a bit.

How to Design a Timeless Hypercar: Interview With Horacio Pagani

At automaker dinners, you’ll often find designers scribbling on their napkins. To design is their compulsion, and if you ask them to sketch a car, they sure as hell won’t draw a Pinto. Invariably these sketches lean swoopy and sleek, even though in their day jobs, designers are most likely…

Volkswagen's W-10 BMW M5 Prototype Makes Big Power

Better late than never—the Valhalla is almost ready for prime time. It’s hard to believe it's been six years since Aston Martin showed the AM-RB 003 concept.

Aston Martin Valkyrie Breaks Top Gear Track Record for Road Cars

The Valkyrie may be one of the most impractical production cars ever created, but there’s a good reason for that. While it carries a license plate and is street-legal, its true home is the race track. Although hypercar manufacturers often throw around the phrase "race car for the road," few…

It's not exactly easy to find great deals on Mercedes-Benz G-Wagens. Since older models look nearly identical to newer examples, the old trucks hold their value fairly well.
