Shopping for a new car and wanna check the boxes for all your personal non-negotiables while also keeping your USD in the USA?

And while you won’t find deep discounts on the all-new-for-2020 mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette C8, our No. 2 story of the week makes a strong case for why you could do worse than hand over your federal diplomas for this American icon. In addition to its legitimately reasonable-for-what-you-get starting price under 60 stacks, the blue-collar supercar — as Cars.com reviewer Aaron Bragman explains in his story — is shockingly livable as a daily driver, boasting formidable cabin comfort, a calm and quiet ride, and exceptional gas mileage.

Also popular this week was the unveiling of the subtly redesigned 2021 Ford F-150 pickup truck. You’ll have to squint hard to detect physical changes to the exterior design, but the big news lies in the much-needed interior upgrade, all-new hybrid variant and available onboard power generator. Our coverage of the overhauled F-150 ranks at both No. 3 and No. 10 among the week’s most popular headlines, but for a comprehensive preview on America’s best-selling truck (and vehicle overall), be sure to pop over to Cars.com sister site PickupTrucks.com.

Rounding out the week’s top five are our rapid-fire rundown of the things we like (and those we don’t much care for) about the 2020 Ford Mustang EcoBoost High Performance Package, at No. 4, and our comparison of rival hybrid versions of the 2020 Honda CR-V and 2020 Toyota RAV4 on the scale-tipping factors of acceleration, gas mileage and price.
