Tesla is taking a buzzsaw to the price of its best-selling Model Y electric crossover in an attempt to clear out its biggest-ever inventory stockpile.

Toyota’s replacement for the long running Avalon, the Crown, might have thrown some people off. It’s a near-luxury full-size sedan with crossover-like styling that’s nearly as tall as a Mazda CX-30. None of that is turning away buyers, as just over 7,600 Crowns have been sold so far this year. While the Crown is…

I just got back from a visit to the paint shop, and I’m absolutely giddy. I had a vision in my head of what my Porsche 996 Turbo would look like when the paint was changed from boring and common Seal Grey to the period-correct and gorgeous Ocean Jade Metallic, but I never imagined it would look quite this good.
