EV vs ICE: Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT

A Porsche and a Hyundai. It’s a match-up that makes no sense, because here in 2024 that’s the world we live in.

2025 Toyota GR Corolla First Drive: Automatically Better

The new GR Corolla has a lot going on, from general mechanical improvements right through to an entirely new transmission. Now, Toyota will sell you a GR Corolla with an 8-speed “Direct Automatic Transmission.” It’s marketing speak for an 8-speed torque converter automatic. It’s a massive leap forward in automatic transmissions for Toyota, who has predominantly stuck to much more dated CVTs and traditional automatics until now. So does it make the GR Corolla better too?

First Drive Review: 2025 Volkswagen Jetta and Jetta GLI
