The Chevrolet Camaro will cease production after the 2024 model year. However, it’s going out with a bang. Earlier this week, Chevrolet announced the Collector’s Edition, and it has now unveiled the 2024 Camaro ZL1 Garage 56 Edition to celebrate the NASCAR Cup Camaro ZL1 racing in this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Camaro receives a handful of visual upgrades replicating the race car’s look, although we doubt the two will sound the same . The car wears a new-for-2024 Riptide Blue exterior that is available across the model line, which Chevy spruces up with a graphics package that mimics the race car’s livery. Gallery: 2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Garage 56 Edition 2 Photos A white stripe extends from the hood to the decklid outlined in gold, similar to the race car, but narrower. A monochrome stars and stripes motif extends from the hood cowl to the roof. Other exterior visual upgrades include Garage 56 badging on the front … [Read more...] about 2024 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Garage 56 Edition Brings Le Mans Racer To The Road

2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE Review: One Expensive Electric
Verdict 8.5 / 10 Design | Comfort | Tech | Performance | Safety | Fuel Economy | Pricing | FAQs –Los Angeles, California The Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan is a polarizing figure in the modern EV marketplace. From the cab-forward stance to the tech-laden cabin, the EQE does nothing to hide its electrified credentials, looking more like a space pod than the E-Class to which it is nominally related. But there’s more to the mid-size Mercedes EV than meets the eye. With a dual-motor powertrain pumping out 402 horsepower and 633 pound-feet of torque, the 2023 EQE500 is as overpowered as it is overstyled. And yet, I can’t help but be charmed by its insistent futurism, with Speed Racer four-wheel steering and synthwave interior illumination keeping things interesting when the off-the-line thrust starts to feel passé. A vehicle's ratings are relative only to its own segment and not the new-vehicle market as a whole.

1996 Lexus LX 450 Project Car: From Ragged To Rugged Part 2 – Tires
One of the first things I noticed when I inspected the new-to-me 1996 Lexus LX 450 sitting in my driveway was the horrid condition of the tires. Date-coded to 2011, the Toyo Open Country A/T rubber showed plenty of dry-rotting and visible cracks – as well as some regrettable gloss black overspray on the spare tire from when the previous owner repainted the trailer hitch. The first order of business was a $1,700 trip to the mechanic, who resealed the front axle, replaced the front wheel bearings, installed a new set of oil pan gaskets, cleaned the throttle body, and reset a check-engine light. But with that out of the way, Noah and I sourced a set of LT285/75R16 Firestone Destination X/T tires. The stock 275/70R16 size is surprisingly hard to find, and the 265/70s already on the Lexus look like roller skate wheels. Hopefully, the 32.8-inch-diameter Destination X/Ts would fit the bill, so to speak, measuring 2.2 inches taller and about eight-tenths of an inch wider than the … [Read more...] about 1996 Lexus LX 450 Project Car: From Ragged To Rugged Part 2 – Tires
Regency Xalta Ranger Sprinter Camper Features Huge Bathroom For B-Class RV
Class B RVs use a commercial van chassis to create a compact camping rig, but their small physical footprint means that the interior layout has to use space efficiently. The new Regency Xalta Ranger RB features a floor plan that makes room for a huge bathroom in comparison to other vehicles in this segment. On the outside, the Xalta Ranger RB looks like a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter other than the power awning on the passenger side. Regency Recreation offers it in 144-inch and 170-inch wheelbase lengths. The interior is where builders differentiate their campers from competitors' offerings. This video offers a tour of the 170-inch version. Compared to the 144-inch variant, this one offers two captain's chairs in the second row. Behind the seating area, there's a split gallery kitchen. A sink, microwave, and storage spot for a cooktop are on one side. The other has a counter, a refrigerator, and the stereo controls. The TV is also in this area. A bracket lets campers swing it … [Read more...] about Regency Xalta Ranger Sprinter Camper Features Huge Bathroom For B-Class RV
DS Automobiles Previews Future Interiors As Carmakers Focus On Comfy Cabins
The era of battery-electric vehicles, driver-assistance features, and other emerging technologies have automakers thinking more about the cabin than ever. The packaging and possibilities allow for new freedoms in designing interiors, and DS Automobiles is previewing the vision that will influence the brand's future cars with a design study. It's called the M.i. 21, and it's more than just a concept. DS calls the cabin a "design manifesto" because it "incorporates certain regulatory, industrial, and economic demands to be able to ensure faster production." The cabin features an assortment of technological and stylistic tricks, using light that's adaptive and connected to its environment, like the big circle lights in the doors. Gallery: DS Automobiles M.i. 21 13 Photos The automaker has also expanded the available space, eliminating the central tunnel and center … [Read more...] about DS Automobiles Previews Future Interiors As Carmakers Focus On Comfy Cabins
2024 Lexus GX Debuts With 389-HP V6, New Overtrail Off-Road-Focused Trim
The 2024 Lexus GX brings the SUV into its third generation to replace the current iteration that dates all the way back to a debut for the 2010 model year. The new model has a much more chiseled, rugged-looking appearance than the outgoing one. There's more modern tech, too. The new SUV goes on sale in early 2024, and no pricing is available at this time. The Oily Bits The 2024 GX rides on the body-on-frame GA-F platform that's also underneath the LX 600 . It features a double-wishbone front suspension and a multi-link setup at the rear. The new model adopts electronic power steering, which Lexus claims offers increased steering feel on- and off-road. An Adaptive Variable Suspension with active dampers is an option.

The Lexus GX’s New Overtrail Trim May Come To Other Models
The 2024 Lexus GX is notable for a few big reasons. Yes, it’s a redesign of a 14-year-old product, and yeah, it looks pretty damn cool. If you asked ChatGPT to render a 70-Series Toyota Land Cruiser with a modern Lexus face, the 2024 GX would probably be the result. But beyond looking cool and reviving a nearly dormant model line, the new GX comes not with an F-Sport badge, but repping the new Overtrail trim. To put it simply, Overtrail is to Lexus as Trailsport is to Honda or, for that matter, what F-Sport is to road-focused Lexus products. It’s a light collection of mechanical upgrades that includes some aesthetic touches – the result is improved performance with little to no sacrifice to everyday civility. And if the Trailsports and Rock Creeks and Trailhawks of the world are any indication, the consumers should love it. So that leads to the obvious question: when will we see another Lexus Overtrail, and will it come to the brawny LX ?
