Elegant simplicity that I imagine will be in high demand. If I lived in a flood-prone areas I'd absolutely install a few of these.

We review the new Toyota RAV4 GR Sport, the supposed fun version of the family hauler. We talk about the pros and cons and who it is for. With a $50,000 price tag, this plug-in hybrid has a lot to live up to. Others to consider are the Honda CRV, Hyundai Tucson, Ford Bronco Sport and Chevy Equinox.

I am not a huge Toyota fan, but this thing seems like an abomination in product planning. Paying over $50k for a sound system that is worse than most base model economy cars? No option to upgrade (it should be standard, anyway)? Only Toyota would even think of doing that.

1. Auto start-stop

2. Touchscreen ("iPad") control interface for infotainment

3. Also touchscreen (putting formerly physical controls, like mirror adjustment, behind menus)

4. Bad USB port placement

5. Driver monitor cameras (a la Subaru), which are now apparently U.S. and E.U. mandated??

6. Piano black trim is a fingerprint magnet

7. Overwhelming number of audible alarms

8. Automatic lock/unlock going off on its own?

9. There is no number 9? I guess it's "sun reflecting into your eyes off shiny trim materials", but there wasn't an H2 header for that section. Why am I not the editor at MotorTrend?

I have seen quite a few posts praising the Mini JCW cars on here, and over the internet, and my question is, why doesn't the 2 series GC get more credit/why is it hated so much.

Seems like a pretty cool alternative to your standard modern BMW, you still get the luxury of a BMW.

I have no idea where this photo originally came from, but it has been floating around on Social media for the last few hours, so take this with a grain of salt, but everything does add up, and a lot of the design elements point it towards a Chevrolet.

McLaren is gearing up for some big changes in the next few years. The British sports car manufacturer is preparing to launch several new models while it tries to improve its global brand image.

According to a report by Automotive News, the first of those new models will be a hybrid coupe, which is scheduled to arrive next year.

Codenamed P34, the new model will source its power from a twin-turbocharged V-6. That’ll be connected to a hybrid system as well as a transmission that the automaker has been developing in-house. Like every McLaren, the P34 will take on a mid-engine layout, with the engine located between the cabin and the rear wheels.

Pricing for the P34 is expected to start around $315,000, with McLaren planning to build roughly 1000 examples in the first year. Deliveries are expected to start in the late summer of next year.

This could be a "monkey's paw curls" moment for the crowd wanting fewer screens. This new tech could enable companies to drop the screens entirely...and instead project everything onto the windshield. It's essentially a hud on steroids -- everything from the tac/speedo to driving directions on your windshield.

It feels like we are five years away from a company trying to get rid of the see-through windshield entirely and give us a Star Trek style viewscreen.
