Road Ethos

There is a particular kind of stubbornness at work here. BMW ended Z4 production earlier this year, which closed the Magna Steyr line in Graz that also built the Toyota Supra. The two-seat roadster is a segment almost every manufacturer has walked away from. And the company doing this is not even allowed to use the name it operated under for five decades.

The Kona costs $770 less, returns 5 mpg more in the city and holds 5.3 cubic feet more behind its seats. Add all-wheel drive and the price gap flips to Mazda. 2026 Mazda CX-30 Mazda Hyundai undercuts Mazda by $770 here, which is the figure most comparisons lead with and the one that stops being true the moment you add all-wheel drive. Mazda includes it on every CX-30 and Hyundai charges $1,500 for it, so a buyer who wants four driven wheels pays $730 more for the Kona rather than $770 less.

Extracampionario Canna Di Fucile over Cuoio is a combination the seller helped choose when the car was ordered, an unusual thing for a consignment listing to say. Bidding on Bring a Trailer has reached $106,000 with five days left. Front-end paint protection film and full Ferrari service history come with it. 2012 Ferrari FF Bring a Trailer Where the market sits Market data from Classic.com puts the average FF sale at $120,762, with a $398,750 high and a $53,000 low for a 2012 car in March 2025.

On paper this is a tie. Both return 22 mpg combined on their standard engines and both are rated at 26 mpg highway, which is as level as two midsize SUVs get. Then a controlled real-world test put a non-hybrid Grand Cherokee against a long-term 4Runner Hybrid on the same 200-mile route, and the Jeep won.

BBoxwood Green over a coral bench seat from a 1968 Lincoln Continental is bolder than most bumpside builds attempt, and the nickel-plated grille and bumper finish it properly. Bidding on Bring a Trailer has reached $32,000 with five days left. The truck left the factory with a 240ci inline-six.

These two produce exactly the same horsepower and return exactly the same fuel economy, which is a rare starting point and it forces the comparison somewhere more interesting. Three hundred ten horsepower apiece and 21 mpg combined apiece, from a turbocharged four in one and a naturally aspirated V6 in the other. Everything that separates them sits in how that power is delivered, what body styles you can order, and how far each will go off pavement. Here are the five differences that decide it.

The headline writes itself and it is wrong. Porsche did not sell Bugatti. It sold a minority position in a joint venture that somebody else already controlled, and it sold a minority position in the technology company that runs it. What makes the transaction worth reading is not what happened to Bugatti, which is largely nothing, but what Porsche did with the money and why it needed it.

Toyota launched the Grand Highlander in 2024 and it posted a reliability record most nameplates take a decade to build. Kia’s Telluride ran from 2020 through 2025, finished on its strongest year, and was completely redesigned for 2027. Comparing them means comparing a new arrival that got it right immediately against an outgoing generation that improved steadily and never quite caught up. The scores are 85 out of 100 against 71, and the complaint rates are further apart still.

Corris Grey Metallic over Ebony with the Black Exterior Package is a restrained way to order 518 horsepower, and the list runs to the Driver Assist and Vision Assist packs, 20-way heated and cooled front seats, and a Meridian system. Bidding on Cars and Bids sits at $21,250 with six days left.

The Toyota Corolla is celebrating six decades on the market, a major milestone most nameplates will never come close to achieving. To kick things off, the Japanese automaker is offering a limited-run model built on the SE Hybrid. Designed to stand out and commemorate the best-selling car’s achievement, the 2027 Toyota Corolla 60th Anniversary Special Edition includes several notable cosmetic and equipment upgrades.
