13 Pricey Sports Cars and Their Affordable Alternatives

Porsche recently unveiled the latest iteration of the quintessential sports car – the 992.2-gen Porsche 911. We predict you’ll be hearing a lot about this sports car for a long time. Even folks who’ve never seen the inside of the car will have plenty to say about the 911’s departure from its traditional naturally-aspirated flat-sixes to a hybrid drive system. It marks the first time in over six decades that Porsche would equip a road-going 911 with a hybrid powertrain. It probably won’t matter what you think of this shift if you can’t fork over around $115,000 to get one. It doesn’t have to be a sad reality, though. There’s always an Emira for every Evija: A 370Z for every 8 Series. Indeed, the market brims with alternatives that capture these elite sports cars’ spirit, performance, and excitement at a fraction of the cost.

When asked to name the most beautiful sports cars ever made, most gearheads mention cars like the iconic Jaguar E-Type, 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray, Lamborghini Miura, Ferrari 250 GTO, and other mainstream options.

14 Old-School Oldsmobiles No One Remembers Anymore

During its long history, Oldsmobile manufactured more than 35 million vehicles. When General Motors (GM) owned the brand in 1908, Oldsmobile became part of the GM family, producing iconic rides that left their mark on American roads. Remember those classic muscle cars and comfy daily cruisers? Yes, Oldsmobile made them all. From the powerful 4-4-2, the all-around Cutlass, to the game-changing Toronado, they were a household name on American roads. However, with all the new cars around, some of these once-famous Oldsmobiles started to fade from the memory. So, let’s time-travel to the past and rediscover old-school Oldsmobiles that deserve a second look – for once, at least!

Why EVs have a leasing problem

In the first three months of 2024, less than a quarter of car buyers leased vehicles, but more than a third of them were EVs. By May, nearly 70% of customers getting EVs through dealerships were leased. But EV leasing is problematic for carmakers. These numbers are partly because automakers are offering steep incentives. While discounts suggest automakers could be offsetting losses in their EV businesses, the resale values are especially low for them and can really hurt the companies long-term.

13 Irresistible Luxury Cars That Tempt Even the Most Thrifty Shoppers

Luxury cars are supposed to alienate those who can’t or are unwilling to pay big money for them. At least, that’s how we’ve always perceived “luxury.” At the same time, some folks are ‘cheap’ regardless of their financial status. Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a car that serves the same primary purpose as a $30,000 model doesn’t make sense to such people. Financial expert Dave Ramsey recently published a list of the top ten cars driven by millionaires, and there was not a Ferrari or Rolls-Royce among them. Ramsey might have a point. A 2022 survey by Experian Automotive found that 61% of rich people (with household incomes over $250,000) go for regular brands like Toyota, Ford, and Honda. It makes you wonder who buys the expensive cars, then. Those who can’t resist them, maybe? It shows enthusiasts, rich and poor — fuel the market for expensive, niche cars. It’s more about attraction than money. Here are 13 luxury cars that are so compelling that even cheap people can’t stay away.
