Overview
There’s no mistaking the GR Supra coupe’s sports car intentions. From its rakish double-bubble roof to its sculptured flanks and posterior, and from its standard 382-horsepower inline six-cylinder engine to its six-speed manual transmission, it’s clear the GR Supra is all about performance and driver involvement. Built alongside the BMW Z4 convertible, the Supra’s swoopy styling hews to a more modern and lively aesthetic than its Bavarian cousin, but the rest of the car utilizes the engine and most of the mechanical bits from the BMW. Although most drivers will find enough interior room, it can be tight for drivers on the larger side—but that’s true of competitors like the Nissan Z and Lotus Emira too. But even if the Supra requires you to fold yourself in an ungainly manner to enter, those gymnastics will be but a distant memory as soon as the road opens, your eyes find the next turn, and you dip into the prodigious power for a little motorized me time.

2026 Ford Bronco
Like its equine namesake, the Ford Bronco SUV is far from tame. It can venture deep into the wilds and, with its roof and doors removed, will make you feel as free and unencumbered as a wild horse as you tear through the woods or leap over sand dunes. Unlike its namesake, however, this SUV…
2026 Volvo XC60
An elder statesman of the compact luxury SUV segment, the 2026 Volvo XC60 leans heavily on its Scandinavian heritage to present an understated yet dignified option in this crowded and highly competitive segment.

2026 Porsche Macan
It can’t be easy to distill over 70 years of sports-car pedigree into a compact luxury SUV, but Porsche managed to do exactly that with the Macan. Just as the 911 is a benchmark sports car, the Macan is a yardstick for other crossovers with sporty pretensions. Both the base 261-hp turbocharged inline-four and punchier…
