1961 Morgan Plus 4 Super Sport
When I search ClassicCars.com For my daily vehicle picks, I treat the process like a treasure hunt. Among the tens of thousands of cars on the site, some are real gems. I never know what I'll find there. Many cars have incredible stories from when they were new.

Today's Pick of the Day is a very special 1961 Morgan Plus 4 Super Sports located at the dealership in Stratford, Connecticut.

Tuner builds Ferrari Purosangue for Toyota Crown Sport
Fake badges and diffuser with quad tailpipes make Japanese SUV look like a Ferrari clone Japanese tuner Aero Over has made the Toyota Crown Sport look more like a Ferrari. Modifications include a splitter, diffuser, quad exhaust pipes, wheels and fake badging. The SUV was displayed at the Tokyo Auto Salon, right next to the real car.

Japanese tuning company Aero Over decided to try out these similarities. They paid homage to the Italian SUV at a fraction of the cost by outfitting the Crown Sport with a custom body kit, quad exhaust pipes, Ferrari-style badging, and some new wheels. This modified Toyota Crown Sport was unveiled at the 2025 Tokyo Auto Salon, strategically parked next to a real Ferrari Purosangue so visitors could play the "Spot the Imposter"…
2025 Lexus UX 300h F Sport Handling All-Wheel Drive
Think about the automaker's lineup As high-rise hotels and the most expensive and prestigious models as penthouses. Not everyone has the means to get there, but many can afford to live on the lower floors. No matter which room they got, they had to start in the lobby on the first floor. If their experience at the entry level goes well, maybe that customer will come back in the future and stay in increasingly nicer, more expensive rooms. This is the 2025 Lexus UX 300h in the automaker's lineup: the entry level. With a starting price of $37,515, it's Lexus' least expensive model and could be the path to lifelong Lexus ownership.

This time, it's the Niva Sport, a "sporty" trim with a more powerful engine and some sporty aspirations.

Australia’s 10 cheapest new V8-powered cars
There was a time when the roar of eight-cylinder engines could be heard across Australia. In particular, a pair of quintessential Australian V8s dominate our roads: the Ford Falcon and the Holden Commodore. But those days are gone, and both of the above models no longer exist. Instead, the Australian car market is now dominated by SUVs and pickup trucks, which feature low-displacement turbocharged powertrains with six cylinders or less. While this won't bother many people (and it certainly hasn't stopped us from flocking to buy new cars), some enthusiast buyers still crave V8 power.

2024 Subaru Crosstrek Sport review: Drive safely
Advantages >> Good passenger and cargo space, high ground clearance, standard all-wheel drive, robust suite of safety features Disadvantages>> Weak performance, sluggish driving dynamics, sluggish infotainment system, easily scratched trim Twenty years ago, Subaru was a brand known for its low prices and cars like the Outback and WRX. It's sporty, it's unconventional, it bucks trends while managing to carve out its own space in the market. In 2022, Subaru's best-selling car was the Crosstrek, with 155,142 units sold. Looking back 20 years to 2003, the entire brand moved just 186,819 vehicles. How come this little car sells so well? What makes it so popular? Is Subaru doing the right thing by revamping it for the 2024 model year? Carscoops just had a full week of trying out this little grocery store and we learned a lot. There's no doubt that Subaru is still unconventional in its own way, but the Crosstrek is a proven product in the small crossover…

The new Audi RS5 combines powerful design with cutting-edge technology to rival rivals such as the BMW M3 and AMG C63. Both sedan and Avant models will feature a plug-in hybrid system that combines a twin-turbocharged V6 engine with electric power. North American buyers will likely only get the RS5 sedan, as the Avant isn't expected to be offered here. 11/10 Update: The Audi RS5 flexed its muscles again, this time in sedan form, and passed another round of testing with great pride.

Subaru’s old Forester gets a “collectible” STI Sport
The STI Sport is based on the outgoing Subaru Forester, with the next-generation model not expected to arrive in Australia until 2025
2024 Genesis G70 3.3T RWD Sport Prestige
Fill in as many gaps as possible In an effort to blend existing vehicles as closely as possible, automakers have developed models that incorporate elements that have never been blended before. We've become accustomed to seeing "four-door coupes" such as the Mercedes-Benz CLS, sedan/hatchback hybrids such as the Toyota Crown, and SUVs with supercar power and fast rooflines that give them a more racing feel with less space. There was a time when luxury sports sedans were introduced as portfolio fillers, but that was a long time ago. The battle between the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4, and others has been going on for some time. A relative latecomer to the fray is the Genesis G70, which arrived in the U.S. as a 2019 model. After a 2022 redesign, it has been updated for the 2024 model year. Given its seemingly mutually exclusive goals of being a comfortable cruiser and a sporty performer, it raises some questions: Is…

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Mule hints at truck-based next-gen model
The redesigned Pajero Sport will borrow heavily from the latest Triton and could feature a new turbodiesel engine Spy photographers have captured a vehicle that is suspected to be the mule of the next-generation Pajero Sport. The ladder-frame SUV will borrow heavily from the redesigned L200/Triton pickup truck. Power will most likely be provided by a new 2.4-liter turbodiesel engine with different outputs. The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (also sold as the Montero Sport in some markets) received a minor facelift earlier this year, and now spy photographers have captured the first photos of the redesigned SUV. It's instantly recognisable and unsurprisingly follows in the footsteps of the latest L200 / Triton. The model was spotted testing in Europe with an all-new front end that's identical to the one used on the pickup truck. The rest of the design is pretty much the same, leading spy photographers to believe the SUV is a mule rather than a traditional prototype. That certainly…
