The 2027 Subaru Solterra, Trailseeker, and Uncharted all avoid price increases for the new model year.
The Uncharted remains the least expensive, starting at $36,470, while the Solterra and Trailseeker start at $39,970 and $41,470, respectively.
Typically, automakers raise model prices every year, so this suggests Subaru is trying to incentivize sales of its existing EV SUVs.
The average price of a new car has ballooned to over $52,000, and while that's a byproduct of many factors, the reality is that most new cars get a little more expensive every year. However, Subaru is taking a different approach with its trio of electric SUVs, as it has decided to keep the prices of the 2027 Solterra, Trailseeker, and Uncharted the same as last year.
Imagine getting a car, nay, winning a car, only to find out you don't fit in it. The excitement of this newly acquired, no-cost-to-you vehicle wears as you try and stuff yourself into the seat and behind the wheel in what might be a desperate attempt to drive it at least once. You come to realize you'll never get to truly enjoy the car, and must part with it, which was the disappointing reality of the Michigan man who won the very pink 1997 BMW Z3 roadster topping this page.
The FAA proposed a new rule that would unwind the current ban against supersonic flight over U.S. soil on Tuesday, replacing it instead with limits on the strength of sonic booms. The original rule was set all the way back in 1973, when any aircraft flying beyond the speed of sound would produce sonic booms powerful enough to affect people and buildings. Shattered glass, structural damage, and hearing loss are all pretty bad, so despite the obvious advantages of getting from Point A to Point B faster, the ban was set. What the FAA is saying now is that, hey, the speed of the plane isn't the problem; the sonic boom's power is. So why not regulate the latter instead of the former?
If you've come to terms with the idea that you'll never actually have enough money to fully retire but do happen to have enough money for very fun cars, there's a 2001 Renault Clio V6 Sport on sale right now on Hemmings for $92,000. If that feels like a lot for a 25-year-old French compact, remember that this isn't any ordinary econobox. It's the V6, Renault's mid-engine hot hatch it made seemingly on a dare.
Jeep refreshed the Grand Wagoneer for 2026 and reconfigured the lineup, with the mainstream Wagoneer models now also wearing the "Grand" prefix. The move to consolidate Jeep's massive SUVs under one name and the fresh styling seem to be paying off, with Grand Wagoneer sales surging. They're up 57 percent year-over-year in Q2 to 14,905 units sold and up 80 percent through the first half with 30,147 units sold. The Grand Wagoneer is the sole bright spot at Jeep, where sales were down 5 percent overall in Q2, as popular models like the Compass, Wrangler, and Grand Cherokee all experienced declines.

Looks can be deceiving. The Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit's handsome face pairs with a lavish cabin full of leather and wood. But a new engine and a clunky ride mar this SUV's sparkle.
Owning a car ain't cheap. Understatement of the century, right? At the very least, it's a runner-up for understatement of the decade and gives an obligatory side-hug to the victorious understatement. But, even with the inevitable "duh" to follow a statement like that, the data suggests that owning a car isn't just expensive – it's surprisingly so for drivers nationwide.
When we first drove the all-electric Porsche Taycan, there was no escaping the mass of the battery stashed between the wheels, but it still drove like a Porsche. The Taycan proved to be quick, nimble, eager to turn, and happier to hang its rear end out than other EVs we'd driven up to that point. Like most Porsches, the only problem was the Taycan's high pricetag. We weren't too worried, though. EVs are known for their quick depreciation, and in a couple of years, you'd be able to buy a used Taycan for next to nothing.

It's far too easy to be swept up by the vast world of vehicle modification on the internet these days. Every other post, every other hour, there's someone with too much money showcasing SEMA-level builds that the average enthusiast could never dream of completing. And this fact becomes even more prevalent when popular platforms are involved. The aftermarket is larger, the options grow, and deciding what direction to take your build becomes that much more difficult.
Ian Callum, the legendary designer behind such works of art as the Aston Martin DB7 and the Jaguar F-type, just revealed his latest masterpieces.
Callum Designs, Ian Callum's personal design house, revealed the first few photos of its modern reimagining of the Jaguar XJ220 and its racing companion, the XJ220-C.
Callum Designs describes the projects as both a concept and a design study, so not a full production model, though a large enough pile of cash could probably change that.
Remember the Jaguar XJ220? That darling little thing was developed by Jaguar and TWR and topped out at 217 mph, making it the fastest production car in the world at the time. Turns out the designer, Ian Callum, remembers it. On the eve of the XJ220's 35th anniversary, the renowned designer revealed his modern rendition of the supercar through his eponymously named studio.
