Toyota had several options regarding the second generation 86 sports car. Never an especially strong seller, the quick and easy decision could have been to let the original model age out with no successor. CEO Akio Toyoda, who's pledged to build more emotional cars, did not accept that. Therefore, two alternatives remained: update an existing and proven formula or take a radically different and pricier approach. The former was chosen and we couldn't be happier. The new 2022 Toyota GR 86 ('GR' stands for Gazoo Racing) keeps the sporty rear-wheel-drive spirit alive and shares an engine, design,...

Sleek And Aerodynamic Exterior Kia wanted to avoid the typical-looking crossover so it charted a new path. Notice the reinterpretation of the brand's "tiger face" grille, now dubbed the "Digital Tiger Face" with an overall sleeker appearance that includes daytime running lights and a sequential dynamic light pattern. A wide and low air intake can be found beneath it. Moving to the sides, you'll notice a character line running beneath the doors as it heads towards the rear end where it curves upward towards the wheel arches. The sloping C-pillar with an integrated black glossy insert gives the...

Classic Sportwagon Styling, With A Twist The Taycan Cross Turismo's unique roofline is longer and flatter compared to that of the sedan. To emphasize its off-road adventure capabilities, Porsche added a standard roof transport system that integrates nicely into the roof rails along with a rear-mounted bike rack, courtesy of Tequipment.

Its coupe-like styling comes by way of a lower roofline that tapers more directly into the rear end. The taillights are integrated into the sides of the tailgate and a small spoiler has been added for both aesthetic and aerodynamic purposes. The front-end design is new and different from that of the XC40. In fact, the C40 introduces a new face for fully electrified Volvos and we wouldn't be surprised to see this styling continue for future models.

This is the car many enthusiasts have been waiting for, although it's been rumored for months. And now it's finally here. Presenting the 2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance, a V8-powered Japanese hot-rod sedan that also represents the naturally aspirated engine's final hurrah. In the very near future, this motor will no longer meet emissions requirements, but Lexus wanted to make sure it went out with a bang. The 2022 Lexus IS 500 is a rear-wheel-drive compact sedan that, in base form, was refreshed for the current model year. Those upgrades inside and out carry over to the V8 model. As the...
