This year’s New York International Auto Show is a special one: 2025 marks 125 years of bringing the latest autos direct to the consumers. While the spectacle has waned in recent years, auto shows continue to serve that very same role; and this year’s NYIAS is putting the spotlight on a number of new products, from refreshed currents to all-new generations, and even a few concept cars.

Our final pair of subjects are being grouped together due to their similar nature, both Jeep Gladiators adorned with the name “Honcho.” The J6, a four-door Rubicon turned two-door truck, features a 6-foot bed and a 118.4-inch wheelbase, the former matching the current four-door Wrangler. A throwback theme again, Honcho is painted white with a triplet of blue graphics, and its off-road truck styling is bolstered by a custom roll bar with six TYRI lights (four front, two rear).

Jeep has unveiled another new color for the 2025 Wrangler and Gladiator: “Joose,” a very, very concentrated shade of orange. Hold the pulp. Joose joins three other shades entering the Jeep color palette for ‘25, including “Mojito!,” “Fathom Blue,” and “‘41.” Joose, unveiled on April 4 for 4X4 Day, is about as bold looking as it is expensive, costing an additional $895.

The Toyota GR86 isn’t shy of receiving the special edition treatment, with 2024’s TRUENO Edition and this year’s Hakone Edition occupying a third slot above the Base and Premium grades. 2026 will be no exception, as Toyota has debuted the Yuzu Special Edition. Like the TRUENO, the Yuzu pays homage to a part of Toyota’s past, though this homage only goes back about a decade or so to the Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0, a predecessor to the 86.

With the number of special editions Toyota has released for their Gazoo Racing models, the GR Supra, GR Corolla and GR86, the announcement of another limited run trim might not seem all too “special” at first. But this one most certainly is, as the 2026 Toyota GR Supra MkV Final Edition is the sendoff for this two-seater sports car. It certainly looks the part, but the Final Edition treatment goes deeper than its sheet metal and carbon-fiber bodywork.

While money can’t necessarily buy happiness, it can buy some really cool stuff. For example, a component from the exact Honda RA100E V10 engine used during the 1990 F1 season to power the championship-winning car driven by Ayrton Senna, as well as Gerhard Berger. With enough dinero, you might be able to walk away with one of those components thanks to a new memorabilia business started up by Honda Racing Corporation.

Nissan has unveiled price cuts for their 2025 Rogue and Pathfinder SUVs, with savings as small as $640 and as large as $1,930, model and trim dependent. The Rogue S front-wheel drive sees that smaller decrease, now with a starting price of $29,980 with destination, placing the Rogue just under the attractive $30,000 margin. That larger price slash applies to the Rogue Rock Creek, which comes exclusively with all-wheel drive and now starts at $34,880.

We’ve seen it happen with a number of EVs by this point, and the GMC Sierra EV is no exception: The vehicle arrives on dealership lots, only for those launch models to be of the highest trim– and thus, a higher price. In the case of the Sierra EV, that meant a 2024 Denali Edition 1, followed by a 2025 Denali, the latter starting at $91,995 with destination and before any incentives.

President Donald Trump has enacted a 25 percent tariff on autos built outside of the U.S., to go into effect on April 3, through an executive order signed on March 26. Along with this move, part of the president’s ongoing economic and trade reforms, a 25 percent tariff will also be placed on auto parts, like engines and transmissions, that originate from outside the U.S., to go into effect no later than May 3, according to the official statement published by the White House.

Region-specific releases for vehicles aren’t a terribly uncommon practice if you consider those makes and/or models not released here in the U.S., for example; but to get more granular, offering a new vehicle only in certain states is a little less common, usually the result of laws or regulations, typically emissions related. Still, the practice has happened before and is happening again with the 2025 Jeep Gladiator Big Bear Edition, limited to just 5,000 units for California customers.
