This week we discuss our Subaru BRZ vs Toyota GR86 sibling rivalry comparison, the Hyundai N Vision 74 Concept heading into production, and a beefier off-road version of the Ford Bronco Sport. Kyle also takes a drive in the new Mini Cooper S three-door as well as the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio.

Audi fully commits to all-wheel drive (and AWD performance) for 2025. The A3’s base front-wheel drive trim is now gone, and there’s more RS in the S3 than ever. It’s a good time to like small, turbocharged sedans.

Our man in Denver, Chase Bierenkoven, recently took the GMC Canyon AT4X AEV off the beaten path to see how it stacks up in the highly competitive off-road mid-size truck segment.
