In the world of road signs, some have meanings that are a lot less obvious than others, and some road signs are so simple that modern cars can recognize them automatically. Those wordless, arrowless, retroreflective signs with diagonal black-and-yellow stripes seem to fall into a vague middle ground. On color and vibes alone, one would probably assume that they're telling drivers some shade of "be careful" or "slow down," such as yellow speed limit signs that announce sharp speed limit decreases or hazards, and they'd be right.
The 2027 Subaru Impreza is now the most affordable all-wheel-drive compact car.
Along with adopting a more powerful engine, the entry-level Impreza now starts at $25,840; the $30,740 RS trim remains the same as last year.
Subaru dealerships will begin receiving 2027 Imprezas toward the end of this year.
So far, the most affordable compact car for the 2027 model year will be the Subaru Impreza. That comes after Subaru slashed its starting price by $1950, putting it at $25,840. Meanwhile, the RS trim level’s price carries over from last year, so it still starts at $30,740.
Honda is considering a larger SUV, according to a report from Automotive News that cites as its source “a person briefed on the plans.”
Reportedly, the flagship three-row SUV would stretch eight inches longer than the Honda Pilot and would house a hybrid powertrain.
Production could start in early 2032 at one of Honda’s North American plants, though it’s unclear which.
Honda is looking to compete in the bigger three-row SUV segment by introducing a “Pilot XXL,” according to an Automotive News report, with a production date at least six years away.
Short of the addition of an available Bronze package, the 2026 Ford Bronco Sport is largely identical to the 2025 model. So, why spend extra bucks on a 2026 Bronco Sport when there are hundreds of new 2025 Bronco Sports in stock that dealers are surely eager to get rid of? We recommend searching for a nearby 2025 Bronco Sport Badlands, given the trim’s 250-hp turbocharged four-cylinder packs a punch that the base 180-hp turbo three-cylinder simply lacks.
If you're pure of heart, you know that God's one true drivetrain configuration is rear-wheel drive. Sure, some could argue that there are good applications for front- and all-wheel drive, but I'm not interested in hearing about them. When I'm driving a FWD car, I can't help but think about how fun it would be if I could pop the tail out every once in a while — safely, of course. That idea is what brought me to the question I asked you all last week.
After nearly a decade of construction and delays, a spaceship has touched down in Exposition Park in Los Angeles: the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which opens to the public on September 22. The massive $1 billion project is the home for more than 40,000 works of art and pieces of pop culture history, essentially all of which have come from the personal collections of "Star Wars" creator George Lucas and his wife Mellody Hobson, one of the most accomplished businesswomen in the world.
With the world converging on New York City for the United Nations General Assembly, it was the perfect time to grind the Big Apple's airspace to a halt. An Amtrak construction contractor cut a fiber-optic cable in New Jersey alongside the Northeast Corridor on Monday, sparking a regional FAA communication equipment outage. The agency halted flights in and out of Newark Liberty, John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia, Teterboro and Philadelphia as it works quickly to restore the link.
Rocketeer has been V-6-swapping Mazda Miatas since 2013.
Unusually, the V-6 is sourced from Jaguar, but you can’t argue with around 300 naturally aspirated horsepower.
Now, the sometimes-overlooked NC is getting the V-6 treatment.
If you want to know what it’s like to be Luke Hemsworth, just ask the third-generation Mazda MX-5. Overshadowed by its brothers, the NC-chassis is often dismissed as the worst of the Miata range, not as lighthearted as the original or as lean and focused as the current car. The thing is, the NC is actually terrific to drive, and it has huge aftermarket support to make it even better.
A boxer engine is a relatively unique configuration. In the car world, it's famously the layout of many Subarus and some Porsches, especially going back to air-cooled 911s. It was also used in old air-cooled Volkswagen Beetles, Karmann Ghias, VW Buses, and other models. If you could see through the front of the engine, you'd notice the pistons bouncing outward and inward in opposition to each other, virtually boxing. This is in comparison to a V8 or V6 configuration, where the pistons move up and down at an angle.
Buying a car is one of the most expensive purchases a person is expected to make in their life. So is buying a phone, apparently — at least if that phone is Apple's $3,199 2TB iPhone Duo. It's a strange sign of the times that a smartphone can now sit in the same price bracket as a used vehicle with four wheels, a functional engine, and the ability to get you to work every morning.
