This week brought an unexpected surprise as Dodge released completely undisguised images of the next-gen Charger. Given its status as one of the most highly anticipated vehicle debuts in 2024, seeing it without camouflage so soon was quite a revelation.
Toyota also made headlines with the revelation of a refreshed GR Yaris. While the exterior design maintains subtle differences, significant mechanical tweaks under the surface have been introduced. The engine now boasts 300 hp, and buyers have the option of an eight-speed automatic transmission.
In her recent series of retro vehicle reviews, Victoria takes us on a journey with a drive in a 1995 Buick Roadmaster Estate wagon. She also provides a sneak peek into an upcoming story about her experiences with a Honda Beat and a classic S600.
To wrap things up, we delve into a cheap car challenge. This time, the objective is to find an off-road capable vehicle, preferably with at least one locking differential, all within a budget of $7,000.
