There are few automotive pleasures quite like a sporty wagon. You get the practicality of a family hauler, the soul of a backroad bandit, and the timeless satisfaction of being the weirdest person in the parking lot—and knowing you’re also the coolest.

Jeep is one of the great auto brands. Its design language has influenced more SUVs than not. The Willys, Wrangler, Wagoneer, J10, Cherokee, and more have their prints all over car market. This is, in part, what makes the bubbly, softer Jeep models over the last 10 years confusing and, at times, downright upsetting. Well, Jeep is looking to fix all that with the 2026 Jeep Cherokee.

If you were a rational person in the 1980s, you didn’t buy a turbocharged coupe. You bought a Camry, maybe a Civic, and congratulated yourself on outsmarting the car industry. But if you were a bit more curious about the world and what it had to offer, you bought a Saab 900 Turbo, a car that ignored convention, disproved norms, and arguably pioneered the inline-four turbo engine for the masses. No, Saab didn’t invent turbocharging.

Here’s a fun question: Would you rather have a new Honda Civic with wireless CarPlay and eight cupholders, or a used BMW Z4 that makes 300 horsepower, goes topless, and makes you feel that fizz even when you’re just leaving the grocery store? Right now, you can get a clean 2013 BMW Z4, a proper luxury roadster, for under $20,000. That’s less than the average down payment for a new car.

Even if Harley has struggled in sales from new riders and younger riders, there is still a strong contingent of motorcycle riders who want the heavy-laden chromed cruisers and heritage-inspired machines. You've got to hand it to the brand, as it knows how to craft nostalgia.

When it comes to British sports cars, few names are as endearing and nostalgic as MG. And within MG’s joyful lineup, the Midget stands as one of the stranger, sort of black sheep of the MG line. That said, racers loved it. It was compact, simple, and so fun to drive. More than just a very cheap roadster, the MG Midget also punched high above its weight in motorsports, carving out a racing pedigree that lives on today. Even better? You can still pick one up for under $15,000.

In a move that feels more like a "Black Mirror" episode plot than a business plan, Tesla has officially begun testing its fully autonomous robotaxi service in Austin, Texas. Yup, Model Ys are cruising city streets with no humans behind the wheel. Elon Musk confirmed that the driverless trials have been going on “for several days,” and so far, there haven’t been any notable hiccups, or at least none he’s chosen to tweet about.
