Kia will be presenting the latest successor to the Kia Forte / Cerato at next Wednesday’s opening of the 2024 New York International Auto Show. The C-segment sedan will be given a new name, now simply known as the Kia K4. The model will sit between the D-segment Kia K5 (Optima name is no longer used) and the B-segment Kia K3 (new name for Kia Rio Sedan).

The keyboard warriors demanded it and Toyota has finally given them what they’ll never be able to afford; a manual Toyota Supra.

Take a good look at these two cars above.

You can thank new crash test regulations and an increasing disdain of internal combustion engines (ICE) for that. Golf GTI Mk8 continues to be fast, capable, and immensely practical. GR86 / BRZ represents the apogee in affordable RWD driving purity. Last ch

If you’ve been to Legoland, one of the most appealing attractions is definitely the scaled-down recreation of famous landmarks made entirely of the ubiquitous plastic bricks. Though the company has produced a few scaled down models of actual cars you can build at home, this life-size recreation of the Toyota GR Supra is not one of them.

Fast forward to today, and self-shifting transmissions have gotten so good, no human input could possibly match its
