There's a new plug-in SUV in town, and it hails from Toyota. The 2021 RAV4 Prime packs a pretty great range rating, and it's seriously quick. It was enough to bring some wow factor to the segment, according to Reviews Editor Craig Cole.

Managing Editor Steve Ewing slid behind the wheel of the 2020 Ferrari F8, and although he's no fan of this sports car's face, he found it a delightful car with gobs of power to enjoy.

Ewing also drove something a little less... shall we say wild. The 2020 Encore GX seems like a pretty good sweet spot in the Buick lineup, but a buzzy engine and lack of value didn't make it an all-out winner in his eyes.

- Ford Bronco teasers galore: The Blue Oval is clearly excited to finally show off its reborn off-road SUV. We rounded up all the teasers so far.
- Tesla surprises: The electric carmaker beat estimates and said it delivered just over 90,000 cars in Q2. That's down from Q1, but Tesla's factory in California was also shut down for quite a while amid the coronavirus pandemic.
- Where's the CX-5 Diesel?: Mazda's diesel crossover still hasn't shown up for 2020, and it could perhaps be a one-and-done kind of deal.

- Lincolns bids farewell to the Continental: The luxury sedan will die at the end of this year with no replacement. Instead, the luxury brand will focus on SUVs . Shocker.
- Subscribe to luxury at BMW: The German brand will roll out new services that basically make it possible to subscribe to features. Like, you could only get heated seats for a few months, should you wish. It's a pretty controversial decision.
