Reviews SummaryThe 2025 model year marks the beginning of the refreshed 992.2-generation Porsche 911. It brings a handful of subtle changes throughout, particularly when it comes to the face, interior, and power output. While it’s dimensionally much larger than 911s or yore, that characteristic rear-engine shape is still there as well. Verdict: Between its thrilling performance, excellent ride, great usability, and handsome looks, it’s hard to fault the latest-generation Porsche 911 Carrera. | |
Reviews SummaryAvailable in coupe, convertible, and sedan (Gran Coupe) body styles, the M8 is based on the BMW 8 Series and gets a full workup from the wizards who perform their magic at the BMW M division. This year, all M8 models come in Competition specification, a new 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system is standard, and a new M Carbon front bucket seat option is available. Plus, BMW offers the 2023 M8 in more exterior colors than before. | |
