Car and Driver

Grandiose Plan • The Grand Sport returns to the Corvette lineup and introduces Chevrolet’s next-generation small-block V-8.

Credit Market Crash • The days of raking in revenue from selling regulatory emission credits to non-compliant competitors are effectively over.

Ran When Pimped • What happened to the cars of MTV’s Pimp My Ride?

Locked Out When Loaded • Mandating automakers to implement ignition interlock devices in future vehicles is good in theory but has the potential for trouble in practice.

EVs are still in their infancy. If a big leap comes, that’ll be good for everybody—even people who’d never drive one.

Second chances aren’t just for rom-coms. Sometimes project cars give you another shot at love—and paint.

turning the tide • CAN A NEW ENTRY-LEVEL SEDAN BE THE FRESH START MERCEDES-BENZ’S ELECTRIFIED DIVISION NEEDS? MAYBE, BUT ONE THING’S FOR CERTAIN: THE CLA250+ IS DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER MERC EV TO DATE.

COUNTERPOINTS

ATTACK OF THE KILLER GEES • PORSCHE’S 911 GT3 AND MERCEDES-AMG’S GT63 PRO FACE OFF IN A SHOWDOWN FOR SUPREMACY.

GENERALLY SPEAKING • Jamie Kitman sits down with General Motors president Mark Reuss to talk about the company’s past, present, and future.

Power to the People • Ram 2500 Tradesman HIGHS: Power Wagon capability for thousands less, no bro-dozer aesthetics, forgiving on-road ride. LOWS: Mandatory Tradesman package reduces the savings, some quality-of-life upgrades are out of reach, tows and hauls less than other heavy-duty Rams.

‘S’ Is Not for Speed • The luxury grand tourer Bentley Continental GTS gets the Speed’s chassis upgrades but not its higher-output powertrain.

The Fix Is In • Toyota GR Corolla HIGHS: Quickest one yet, improved engine cooling, fantastic brakes. LOWS: Thermal gremlins still live in the driveline.

Rules of Engagement • The dynamic Aston Martin DB12 S is bound to find well-heeled suitors.

A Not So Mighty Wind • Jeep Grand Cherokee HIGHS: Quicker and more efficient than the V-6 Grand Cherokee, Summit interior wow factor, bounty of luxury features. LOWS: Laggy engine, crashing ride, frustrating haptic climate controls.

Serenity Now • Land Rover Range Rover Sport P550e HIGHS: Lavish Range Rover comfort, commendable EV range, isolationchamber cabin. LOWS: No volume knob, hybrid programming hiccups, price and weight rival a Lockheed Martin product.

Brisk but Bland • 2026 Subaru Uncharted GT HIGHS: STIbeating acceleration, strong brakes, large for the class. LOWS: Disappointing real-world range, forgettable driving experience, little to distinguish it from a Toyota.

The Best Odds • The cars I recall most fondly were neither the prettiest nor the quickest. Certainly not the most expensive. They were machines that emerged willfully peculiar and intractably idiosyncratic.
