HOTTEST

  • The Kia Concept EV4 debuted in Korea at Kia’s EV Day event.Call it a sedan, call it a hatchback, just don’t call it late for dinner.We’d say it’s a pretty safe bet that the EV4 will make its way to the U.S.When is a sedan not a sedan? When it’s the Kia Concept EV4. Yes, this electric concept has four doors and the proportions we expect from a sedan—and don’t get us wrong, we’re glad to see this body style remain relevant for longer—but Kia claims it’s an entirely new kind of sedan. Either way, hey, it’s not a crossover!The Kia Concept EV4 is part of the automaker’s strategy to release a series of electric vehicles across a greater swath of the vehicular kingdom. Alongside the Concept EV3 that also debuted at Kia’s EV Day event in Korea, the EV4 promises to break into smaller segments, now that the automaker has unveiled larger battery-electrics including the EV5, EV6, and EV9. And while nearly the entire portfolio consists of crossovers, the EV4 toes the line between sedan and hatchback in the hope of reconverting some utility-vehicle owners who still want to maximize spaciousness.Andrew Krok|Car and DriverWhile the EV4’s silhouette is unlike anything we’ve seen, there are a few influences we can see making their way down from the EV6, which itself rides that fine line between hatchback and crossover. That long, sloping nose (yes, complete with a frunk) and heavily raked windshield should cut through the air quite nicely, but it’s the rear end that really gets weird. Looking like the love child of an EV6 and a Cadillac CT4, the rear glass starts its downward progression at the rear wheel and continues on through three zip codes, finally terminating at a familiarly shaped integrated spoiler. There are some design elements that the Concept EV4 shares with its more diminutive sibling, the blocky Concept EV3. The trim around the wheel wells contains all sorts of interesting angles. That rugged-looking gray stuff also creeps its way upward on both bumpers, adding variety to some otherwise clean body lines. The concept’s matte-gold paint is pretty slick, too.The emphasis on width makes its way inside, where a relatively clean cabin layout keeps things feeling nice and spacious. A single binnacle rises from the dashboard, but most other elements are tucked away—in this case literally, as the climate controls retract when they aren’t needed. The pin-style air vents, which are also found on the EV3, are a unique take on an oft-ignored part of the car, using individual jets to change how the air flows. If you’re wondering how much ambient lighting there is in here, the answer is “plenty.”This being a concept, Kia didn’t bring any sort of powertrain specs along for the ride, but we don’t expect the EV4 to stay in the conceptual realm for long, even though the automaker has yet to confirm whether or not this slick electric sedan will come to the U.S. With the EV9, the EV5, and both the Concept EV3 and Concept EV4, Kia has a whole lot of interesting stuff coming down the pipeline before the end of the decade.More Kia EVsSenior EditorCars are Andrew Krok’s jam, along with boysenberry.

  • This rare Ford Pinto is one of the oddest vehicles of the Seventies.Side panels and porthole windows replaced the standard side glass, and a choice of graphics was offered.This example also sports a mad-plaid interior and an eye-searing ’70s color scheme.Car and DriverMany, many questionable decisions were made in the 1970s, but one easily understandable craze was the mania for heavily customized vans. Just scroll through the #vanlife hashtag on Instagram, and you’ll see plenty of people dedicated to turning boxy utility vehicles into a lifestyle accessory—although maybe not with shag carpeting and airbrushed unicorns these days. But, in 1978, what if you were a would-be vanner on a budget? Ford had you covered with the frugal and fun Pinto Cruising Wagon. Bring a TrailerThis 1978 example, up for sale on Bring a Trailer—which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos—is a tangerine-hued fever dream and features porthole windows, an interior that looks like an industrial accident at the Creamsicle factory, and far-out exterior graphics. It is 10 pounds of Bee Gees in a five-pound bag.Bring a TrailerIntroduced in 1970 after a breakneck-paced development championed by Lee Iacocca, the Pinto was meant to be Ford’s riposte to the Volkswagen Beetle. Much was made of the early Pinto’s reputation for catching fire in collisions—and it did—but in retrospect, plenty of other 1970s subcompact cars were also relatively unsafe. By the late 1970s, Ford had a recall solution for the fuel tank issue and was still selling nearly 200,000 Pintos a year.Bring a TrailerHowever, the platform was aging, and the rise of cheap and cheerful Japanese subcompacts had changed the market forever. Looking to inject a little fun into the Pinto, Ford’s marketing department cast about for anything the kids were into these days. Rock music? Vans? Smoking the Devil’s Lettuce? Bell-bottom jeans and platform shoes? Well, maybe let’s do the van thing.Bring a TrailerBased on a humble Pinto station wagon, the Cruising Wagon featured metal panels in the back with the requisite bubble window. This 1978 example shows 59,000 miles on the odometer and is powered by a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 88 horsepower. A four-speed transmission wakes things up a little, and Pintos are pretty light cars, so it should be able to keep up with modern traffic.And anyway, this is a machine for cruising, man. Hardly any of these oddball van-wagons are left, what with the semi-disposable nature of the Pinto. A survivor like this is a time capsule of the SoCal Seventies vibe, all sun-soaked days and long evenings at the beach. This one has a cassette stereo rather than an eight-track, so it should be easy to put together a suitably 1970s soundtrack for your summer cruising.But you’d better move fast. This no-reserve auction ends on August 2. Contributing EditorBrendan McAleer is a freelance writer and photographer based in North Vancouver, B.C., Canada. He grew up splitting his knuckles on British automobiles, came of age in the golden era of Japanese sport-compact performance, and began writing about cars and people in 2008. His particular interest is the intersection between humanity and machinery, whether it is the racing career of Walter Cronkite or Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki’s half-century obsession with the Citroën 2CV. He has taught both of his young daughters how to shift a manual transmission and is grateful for the excuse they provide to be perpetually buying Hot Wheels. More

  • Chevy and GMC have announced pricing for the new 2023 Colorado and Canyon pickup trucks.The Colorado starts at $30,695 and the Canyon starts at $38,095.There’s a special AT4X Edition 1 version of the Canyon that costs a ridiculous $66,290.Although Chevy and GMC have both simplified their mid-size pickup lineups along with the Colorado and Canyon’s redesigns for 2023, there’s still a wide pricing spread ranging from $30,695 all the way up to over $66,000. Both trucks now come only as a crew cab and with a turbocharged 2.7-liter inline-four as the sole engine choice—the old 3.6-liter V-6 and 2.8-liter turbo-diesel are gone—but many trim levels remain, including off-road variants such as the Chevy’s ZR2 and the Canyon’s new AT4X.The 2023 Colorado is the cheaper of the two, as it offers a Work Truck trim level starting at $30,695. This model comes with rear-wheel drive and the lower-output, 237-hp version of the turbo-four engine. The 2023 Canyon, meanwhile, starts at $38,095 for the Elevation trim level and comes standard with the high-output, 310-hp version of the 2.7L engine. The Colorado’s lower trim levels offer the high-output engine upgrade as a standalone option.More on Colorado and CanyonOff-roaders will want to check out the Colorado’s Trail Boss trim level, starting at $38,495, or the more extreme Colorado ZR2 ($48,295) and Canyon AT4X ($56,995) models. The most absurdly priced of all these trucks is the Canyon AT4X with the Edition 1 package that costs $66,290. Its extra equipment includes a light bar, beadlock-capable wheels, skid plates, a winch, different bumpers, and special badges.Chevy and GMC say these new trucks will go on sale in early 2023, and dealerships are currently taking reservations for the AT4X Edition 1.This content is imported from poll.
