9 big-block muscle cars dealers are practically giving away

For most collectors, the dream of owning a real big-block muscle car died somewhere between the EPA's arrival in 1970 and a dramatic insurance premium hike that strangled the market by 1973. What survived that regulatory demolition was something nobody expected: a quiet inventory of thunderous, displacement-heavy machines that dealers genuinely cannot price correctly. A few of them are sitting on lots right now for less than a base-model crossover SUV.

Why she chose a BMW M2 DCT over a BMW M4 + Lexus GX470 overland build review

Niel upgraded from a Mini Cooper S to a BMW M2, purchasing it before the M2 CS had been unveiled. The choice between an M3, M4, or the M2 was a tough one, but the M2's appeal proved irresistible. Her license plate amusingly makes other drivers want to race her all the time. Niel's M2 is stock, offering an authentic ownership experience straight from the dealer. She shares her car adventures on Instagram @turrbokitty. If I were to own an M2, I'd consider a Stage 1 tune, smaller wheels, a valved catback exhaust, and maybe a roof wrap, though the toughest choice remains between a DCT or manual transmission. Ansrwd, a series of car reviews by real owners, offers insights not from automotive journalists like Chris Harris or Doug Demuro, but from actual enthusiasts. Cars featured in this series include models like the Gaglardi Vex, Porsche 911 GT3, McLaren 600LT, Ferrari F12/F430 and 458 Italia, Acura NSX, Corvette, FRS, BMWs, Drift Cars, and more.

Automakers dump PHEVs after largest emissions study ever exposes 300% fuel lie on 1.4M vehicles

The largest real-world emissions study ever conducted just gutted the plug-in hybrid industry. Fraunhofer ISI and Ariadne Projekt researchers analyzed over 1.4 million European PHEVs using onboard fuel consumption monitoring data and found drivers burn 6.0 to 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers. Manufacturers claimed 1.25. That gap exceeds 300%. Multiple automakers are now publicly distancing themselves from the technology, with Polestar and Renault leading the rejection and Stellantis retreating after a €22.3 billion loss. The number everyone saw was fake, and the cascade from that fakeness reaches further than anyone expected.
