| December 7, 2024 | Hey everyone! Managing Editor Roger Biermann here from CarBuzz and this is your Saturday automotive recap! |
Today, we look at the Ford Mustang Mach-E's 'baby brother', the Ford Escort MK1 being resurrected, the top CarBuzz videos of the week, and the best editorials from the past seven days. Let's dive in! |
Ford has taken the wraps off its newest EV, turning the European-market Puma crossover into a mini Mustang Mach-E lookalike called the Puma Gen-E. This new model isn't a replacement for the existing lineup, which comprises hybrid powertrains and the Puma ST - the de facto replacement for the now-defunct Ford Fiesta ST. |
Here are some other standout news stories of the day: |
We all thought it was coming. Now it's official. |
Remember when sitting three abreast in the front was common? |
The Miata is still a sub-$30k treat for enthusiasts. |
Hypercar refers to a vehicle that moves the performance and technological goalposts so far forward that it redefines its segment. A modern example of the breed is the Mercedes-AMG One. One such vehicle usually comes along every decade: the '50s had the Mercedes 300SL, the '60s got the mid-engine Lamborghini Miura, and the 1980s saw the Porsche 959 head to the top of the pack. In the 1990s, the McLaren F1 was given this honor above all others. |
When it comes to performance, Lincoln is a brand seldom thought of. Sure, models like the Mark VIII may come to mind, but these weren't nearly as honed or quick as other performance-oriented luxury vehicles such as those produced by BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Jaguar. |
Roughly half a century ago, Buick's name was virtually synonymous with the V8, along with several other American manufacturers of the time. Buick's 455-CID (7.45L) big-block is one of the most coveted engines to come out of the late 1960s and 1970s. |
The Chevrolet Cobalt has become synonymous with the idea of a rental car. Given the abundance of the sedan and its price point, it was generally revered as a reliable A-to-B appliance, making it an easy choice for rental car duties. |
