The 2024 Subaru Impreza Makes Me Wish For a WRX Hatchback

Whenever I’m helping someone pick out a new car, I ask four questions: What do you need, what do you want, what don’t you want, and how much are you willing to spend? Those first two questions are important — they split the requirements from the desires, to make a prospective buyer think about what really matters to them. Subaru, it seems, asked its owners the same few questions when developing the 2024 Impreza. We’re Driving the 2024 Subaru Impreza, What Do You Want to Know? Impreza buyers need to haul dogs, mountain bikes, kayaks — y’know, Subaru things — and the new wagon-only Impreza

Lamborghini’s first electric car will be 2+2 GT

Lamborghini’s first electric vehicle won’t be a supercar or an SUV but rather a new body style, a grand tourer with 2+2 seating to serve as a fourth model line for the brand. Such a body style was previously hinted at by former Lamborghini CEO Stefano Domenicali in 2019, and the brand’s current chief, Stephan Winkelmann, has finally confirmed it in an interview with

GM Wanted You to Buy Its Aging Pontiac Parisienne With This Incredible Promo Video

I know the 1980s were a different time. But sometimes I see things from back then and it shows me just how much cocaine was going around. Take the world of automotive promotional videos. Friend or Fiero? Pontiac’s Mid-Engine Sports Car When I’m bored, I like to dig around YouTube for old automotive promo videos of obscure models, especially from the 1980s. I find the effort — or lack thereof – that automakers put into these things fascinating. But some were straight-up weird. Take the promo video for the 1984 Pontiac Parisienne. 1984 Pontiac Parisienne SedanImage: Pontiac The fifth

Hyundai Ioniq 5 N runs on electrons but simulates an ICE car

Hyundai’s first electric performance model, the 2024 Ioniq 5 N, made its debut on Wednesday at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. While it has up to 641 hp, the Ioniq 5 N is meant to perform around corners and on a track, as well as in a straight line.

What We Know So Far

Overview Chevrolet’s legendary sports car is about to get even fiercer. The 670-horsepower Corvette Z06 —motivated by a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V-8 engine—will be upstaged by a new ZR1 in 2025. The ZR1 will build upon the excellent Z06, cranking power output to new heights and elevating the American icon to compete with Ferraris and Lamborghinis. The prodigious performance will likely come with equally wild styling, sporting race-car-inspired aerodynamics that should help the Corvette improve even further upon the Z06’s absurdly quick Lightning Lap times. We also expect an even more

2024 Lotus Eletre defies company roots for more EV appeal

Calling the Eletre a Lotus takes a big leap of faith. A large, heavy, electric SUV couldn’t be a greater departure from the lithe sports cars that drove Lotus into the hearts of enthusiasts everywhere. Just looking at this 2024 Lotus Eletre, you can imagine Colin Chapman rolling in his grave. But Lotus—or, perhaps more importantly, Chinese parent company Geely—knows that niche little two-seaters do not a profitable car company make. So if Lotus wants to have the funding for special projects like the Evija hypercar, it has to balance that by making vehicles with greater mass-market appeal.
