Performance

Shoppers looking for a gasoline-swilling American muscle car have precisely one option at the moment: the 2026 Ford Mustang. But there are many choices for the nameplate.

With plenty of power from its high-output twin-turbo V-6 engine and a stable, easy-to-drive demeanor, we found towing with the 2025 Ford Expedition to be a breeze.

The limited-production Yuzu Edition pays tribute to the GR86’s forebear, the Scion FR-S, but Toyota’s fun-loving little coupe is otherwise unchanged for the 2026 model year.

We used rock-crawling, hill climb, hill descent, off-road course and on-road testing to determine which is the best mid-size off-road pickup truck for 2025.

Of the four trucks in our comparison, the Ford Ranger Raptor did the best in our on-road testing thanks to its fun-to-drive nature, test-leading ride quality and comfortable seats.

For the 2026 model year, the BRZ’s entry-level Premium trim has been discontinued, but a Series.Yellow limited edition is available and its starting price is $37,055 (with destination).

For 2026, the Toyota GR Corolla’s structure is reinforced with an additional 45.6 feet of adhesive, which Toyota says improves body rigidity for higher-fidelity steering and handling.

The 2026 Prelude features good comfort, practicality and nice materials inside while differentiating itself from the rest of the Honda lineup with unique front and rear styling, a double-bubble roof and flared fenders.

Honda is hoping to reignite interest in affordable two-door performance cars with the 2026 Prelude.

The McLaren Artura may look like other McLarens, but it’s McLaren’s first street car with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. We take it for a spin to see how well it works.
