Let’s take a trip back to the 1950s, a time when aviation was on the rise, and rocket ships were the future. This set the perfect stage for the design of sleek and streamlined vehicles, some of which looked like they could launch into space.

Since it first popped onto the scene in 1997, the Toyota Prius has been known for its fuel efficiency, but most certainly not for its good looks. That all changed today with the reveal of the new 2023 Prius and Prius Prime.

During the 2022 SEMA show, master customizers the Ringbrothers turned up with one of the best Chevy K5 Blazer restomods ever. Based on a 1972 K5 Blazer, the Bully now packs a 6.8-liter GM LS3 engine from Wegner Motorsports, along with a massive 4.5-liter Whipple supercharger.

When it comes to everyday SUVs, the Volkswagen Atlas is a solid, purposeful vehicle that does exactly what it sets out to do. It’s a purposeful daily driver with exceptional space, a thoughtful and pragmatic cargo area, and clean straight-down-the-middle styling that’s far less divisive than most competing models on the market.

Futurists have dreamt of flying cars for decades, with notable contributions from HG Wells, The Jetsons, Blade Runner, and The Fifth Element. But our dreams of flying over traffic jams have yet to come true. Now and then, we’ll see a prototype of a flying car that looks like an airplane and a car had a love child, but none of them have ever been mass-produced.

The reputation of the AMC Pacer certainly precedes itself. But the late 1970s bubble-shaped car certainly has its fans, too, if nothing else but for its kitsch factor. Or its appearance in Wayne’s World. Whether you love or hate the Pacer, there’s no question that it’s an iconic part of automotive history.

When it comes to family-friendly vehicles on the road in America these days, SUVs and crossovers get most of the love. While minivans are known for being boring, they offer a significant amount of cabin space, comfortable seating for all passengers, and cargo-hauling versatility.

When it comes to automotive durability, Toyota trucks are at the top of the game. And sitting at the top of the heap is the classic Toyota Hilux, which the guys from Top Gear famously drowned, lit on fire, and subjected to a 240-foot drop from a building.

Volvo spin-off Polestar continues to add to its line of performance-oriented electric vehicles with its first production SUV. Like other Polestar vehicles, the Polestar 3 has a sleek, modern look and a powerful drivetrain. All Polestar 3 models come standard with a dual-motor, all-wheel drive system and a long-range battery pack.

It seems like only yesterday that I attended the reveal of the drop-dead gorgeous Ford GT. In fact, it’s been more than seven years since the car debuted at NAIAS in Detroit. Wow, does time fly or what?

A dazzling, one-of-a-kind stunner from the collection of finance executive Peter Mullin and his wife, Merle, is getting used to sweeping awards. First, the 1938 Hispano-Suiza H6B Dubonnet Xenia stole the coveted “Best in Show” award at the 2016 Hampton Court Palace Concours of Elegance.

The 1990s were generally not a good decade for automotive design and performance. It was the era of awkward, bubble-shaped cars and the rise of the minivan. The 1990 Plymouth Voyager III concept is undoubtedly unique, but that doesn’t make it any more attractive.

Nissan’s battery electric crossover is coming out for the 2023 model year, and we now know how much it will cost. The base model of the Ariya will start at $43,190. That’s the front-wheel drive model with the smaller 63 kWh battery pack.

Not to be confused with the insanely fast 1750 horsepower SSC Tuatara, The SSC SC-01 from China’s Small Sports Car Company is still pretty quick by most standards. It’s slated to have a 429 horsepower battery-electric drivetrain with a targeted 0-to-62 mph time of 3.9 seconds.

The Batmobile that ended up in the late ’60s Batman TV series was a highly customized 1955 Lincoln Futura. But there was also a chance it could have been a Chevy Corvette. According to Randy Leffingwell’s 2012 book Corvette Sixty Years, before the show went into production, its creators approached General Motors’ designers to create their take on the Dynamic Duo’s ride.
