| December 16, 2024 | Hey everyone! Managing Editor Roger Biermann here from CarBuzz and this is your Monday automotive recap! |
Tonight, we look at the 2025 Toyota Camry which has just been crowned the first-ever CarBuzz car of the year, Porsche developing in-wheel hub motors for EVs long before they were popular, the most affordable 400 HP sports car on sale in the USA, more CarBuzz editorials, and our latest have your say thread. Let's dive in! |
In the 12 months since last year's CarBuzz Awards, we've driven over 160 cars, ranging from pickup trucks and SUVs to sports cars and supercars. But for the first time ever, we've crowned an outright winner: a single car to be crowned the CarBuzz Car of The Year and our top pick to buy in 2025. |
Here are some other standout news stories of the day: |
In automotive terms, it's largely accepted that more horsepower equals more fun. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule, such is the case with some hot hatchbacks, but generally speaking, more horsepower is an easier way to increase both performance and the size of the smile on your face. |
When we think of sports cars going off-road today, some high-profile names are likely to come to mind, such as the Porsche 911 Dakar or the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato. The long history of rallying has built a connection between performance and off-road capability, and today it's not unusual to see cars that can hold their own on a racetrack but also venture out on a dirt road without breaking a sweat. |
Who doesn't love a homologation special? The Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution is one of the most significant. |
The Honda Accord is nothing new. In fact, it's one of the oldest-running models still for sale in America. Despite first debuting as a cut-price compact, the Accord has since evolved into a midsize sedan that means all things to all drivers – it's immense value for money, packed full of tech, offers great value for money, and, if you buy the right one, surprisingly fast, too. |
In most cars today and for decades prior, brake rotors have been made from metal because metal is cheap, reliable, and easy to manufacture car parts from. This didn't stop manufacturers around the globe from tinkering with braking technology, and eventually, carbon ceramic brakes were born. |
We've all sold cars we later regretted, but did you ever pass up the opportunity to buy one only to have prices skyrocket afterward, putting them out of reach? The Honda S2000 is a fine example, but we know there must be others, so which car did you nearly buy and then later regret not pulling the trigger on? For me, it was a Caterham 7 which was priced right and would've been a great weekend toy. I had a company car so didn't have to worry about daily transport, but hesitated too long and the car was sold from under me. As is the case with life, the money found its way elsewhere, and now I still yearn for that Caterham that I missed out on. |
