For over 40 years, Toyota Camry has excelled at being the ubiquitous choice for those seeking family transportation that isn’t minivan- or SUV-shaped. Now in its ninth generation, this all-new 2025 Toyota Camry all-new model seems some changes to cater to ever-changing buyer demographics, so we spent some time with it to see how the traditional midsize sedan fares in a market dominated by crossovers of all shapes and sizes.

Nostalgia is one hell of a drug, or so I’ve been hearing. I grew up in the suburbs of Toronto and got my driver’s license in the mid-2000s. This puts me right at driving age when the Fast & Furious franchise was at its peak, and every young guy wearing oversized clothing suddenly wanted an Infiniti — but not just any Infiniti. This 2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe was quite literally peak motoring for my 18-year-old self. Of course, being a student at the time, I didn’t have the money for a brand-new one.

We’ve now tested the all-electric Porsche Taycan on multiple occasions, in a variety of configurations.

There seems to be an odd stigma with scooters in North America, and I didn’t quite understand it before I spent some time in Tuscany earlier this summer.

I like Mazda Miatas. A lot. I always have. In my collection of Micro Machines as a kid, the little blue car, (which I would later learn was a Mariner Blue Miata) was my favorite. In Gran Turismo, I loved the little Miata for being so easy to pilot. One of the first few cars I ever drove was an immaculate example of a very early first-generation “NA” Miata, and it was about as close to a religious experience as I’ve ever had.
