1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Convertible wins ‘Best In Show’ at Concours of Elegance 2024

Hampton Court Palace hosted 500 of the rarest cars in the world

A 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Convertible, one of just a few constructed in the U.S., was chosen Best in Show at the 13th annual Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace in London. The winning 1937 Rolls-Royce was designed by JS Inskip.
Why the 1937 Phantom III Convertible is significant

Any Rolls-Royce convertible is significant, but the Phantom III, which was the final large Rolls-Royce produced before World War II, was also the last model to which Henry Royce contributed considerable input. Royce, the co-founder of Rolls-Royce, was an engineer who contributed to the design of the company's large cars in the last part of his career. Royce died in 1933.

Audi launches 2025 Q5 and SQ5 SUVs based on PPC flexible combustion platform

Audi's MHEV plus system combines ICE, mild hybrid, and conventional hybrid features

Third generation Audi SQ5 and Q5 parked with concrete walls in the background.

Audi CEO Gernot Döllner introduced the 2025 Q5 and sportier SQ5 SUVs with high expectations. The third-generation Q5s are the first SUVs in Audi's model lineup based on the company's Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) architecture, which emphasizes fuel efficiency for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. The 2025 Audi A5 sedan was the automaker's first PPC model.
Why the Q5 matters to Audi

The flexibility of PPC is wonderful from a manufacturer's viewpoint because, with it, the brand can produce a range of models, each with unique attributes. The Q5 is particularly important because it is Audi's best seller.

VW releases 2025 Jetta and Jetta GLI starting prices: Two models are gone

VW simplied the Jetta gas engine model lineup by dropping two models

VW released the starting prices for the restyled and updated 2025 Jetta and Jetta GLI. Volkswagen followed up on its earlier promise that the 2025 Jetta would have a lower starting price than the previous model year's cost with an automatic transmission. VW added value to both models, but what's missing?

The 2025 Jetta S with an automatic transmission starts at $23,220, including delivery and destination fees, $40 less than a comparable 2024 model. The 2025 Jetta GLI Autobahn, with either manual or automatic transmission, also with fees, starts at $33,940, $930 more than the 2024 Jetta Autobahn it replaces.
So what's missing?
