I found a 58-year-old car with only 1,000 miles on it - and bought it

Richard receives an incredible 1968 classic car that Dennis found near Dayton, Ohio, with only around 1,000 original miles and an almost completely untouched appearance. The story is that a young woman got the car around the time she received her driver’s license, but discovered that taking the city bus was cheaper than paying for gas, so the car ended up spending most of its life parked in a garage. It still has all five original tires, an amazingly preserved interior, original markings, dealer-installed air conditioning with its paperwork, and only minor paint touch-ups from decades of storage. The crew believes it may be the lowest-mileage 1968 example they could find records for and debates whether something this original belongs in a museum rather than being modified. After inspecting it closely, Richard decides to keep the remarkable time capsule.

Toyota Proace Electric brings quiet EV driving to work life

The Toyota Proace Electric is a practical work van built for professionals who need to enter low emission city zones without losing everyday usefulness. It shares its platform with Stellantis vans, but adds Toyota’s support, including warranty and service confidence. The tested long double cab worker version can carry a crew while still offering around 6 cubic meters of cargo space, with a rear area prepared for racks, tools, and roof equipment. Inside, the cabin is simple, roomy, and easy to clean, with hard plastics, strong visibility, many storage compartments, and physical controls for climate, audio, and windows that remain easy to use with work gloves. On the road, the electric drive makes it quiet and calm, though tire noise from the cargo area is still noticeable and performance is modest, especially with a full load. The 75 kWh battery gives around 300 km real range, making it best for daily routes of 100 to 150 km. Payload, towing, and floor modification limits mean it cannot replace every diesel van, but for city based trades, it is a useful electric tool.

'Egregious behavior:' Brampton mayor, auto workers outraged as Stellantis decides to sell Brampton assembly plant

Automaker Stellantis has signed a memorandum of understanding to sell its assembly plant in Brampton to a Canadian company that makes armored vehicles. The move comes as workers at the plant remain on temporary lay-off, and multiple governments question why Stellantis took federal subsidies with a promise to boost Canadian production -- only to move it to the US.

Tesla data shows driver-assist was active in fatal stop-sign crash as key software details stay redacted

This car finally drove after a $3 repair - then every warning light came back on

After rebuilding a badly wrecked car, the team takes it on a road trip of more than 1,000 miles toward an abandoned racing circuit outside Barcelona. The nearly 100-year-old track features enormous banked sections reaching around 78 degrees, an extremely rough concrete surface and a history stretching back to the 1920s. Four cars are selected for a challenge to see who can record the highest speed coming off the banking, despite suspension and four-wheel-drive faults appearing almost immediately. The rebuilt car repeatedly hits the rough surface, briefly goes airborne and damages its front splitter while pushing higher up the banking. In the final results, it records 81 MPH, while the winning car reaches 85 MPH on one of the most unusual tracks the group has ever attempted.

Second-gen 2028 Volvo XC40 updates design, tech, and safety

The biggest news surrounding the all-wheel-drive 2028 Volvo XC40 isn’t really about its major refresh: it’s the fact its all-electric sibling, the updated EX40, won’t be coming to Canada. Due to low sales, Volvo Canada has decided it will not be bringing back the all-electric crossover; instead, it will focus its EV marketing on the EX30, the all-new EX60, and the EX90. That’s a shame, as the all-electric version of the -40 crossovers really hit...

Polestar 3 offers big battery luxury and a different SUV feel

The Polestar 3 is a large electric SUV that focuses on calm luxury, long distance comfort, and clean Scandinavian design. Despite the name, Polestar 3 refers to launch order, not size, and this model shares its platform with the Volvo EX90. At 4.9 meters long, it is big, but its low profile and aerodynamic details, including a front bonnet spoiler and large rear roof spoiler, make it feel less boxy than a traditional SUV. The tested Long Range Single Motor version uses rear wheel drive, around 300 hp, and a 111 kWh battery, with up to 700 km WLTP range and around 600 km in real use. It is not the fastest version, but 0 to 100 km per hour in 7.8 seconds is enough for daily driving, while efficiency is strongest at steady 80 to 100 km per hour speeds. Inside, the Polestar 3 offers excellent 18 way seats, sustainable Bioattributed Weavetech material, Google infotainment, Bowers and Wilkins audio, a panoramic roof, huge rear space, a 600 liter boot, and a useful frunk. Heavy piano black trim is the main frustration, but the Single Motor version feels like the smartest choice.
