Mazda’s strategy to market its largest SUV under different names depending on how many rows of seats they have—CX-90 for three-row versions, CX-70 for two-row ones—was an odd decision from the beginning. Now that’s (perhaps unsurprisingly) changing, as the CX-70 apparently won’t make it to the 2027 model year. The news was initially reported by CarScoops; Road & Track has reached out to Mazda to confirm the CX-70’s demise, and will update this post upon hearing back. That said, rumors and reports from dealer sources on forums foreshadowed this news, and this report seems set to put a proverbial nail in the coffin. MazdaThe CX-90 initially launched as the three-row; then, shortly thereafter, Mazda released the CX-70. For the most part, the CX-70 was an identical car, minus the last couple seats. There were some minor tweaks in exterior trim color and style, but to put it simply, Mazda sold the same car under different names depending on their seat configurations for the past few years. It’s an odd strategy, as most OEMs simply offer a two-row or three-row option for the same model; for example, the Toyota 4Runner has an optional third row, as does the Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class.

Every day, we all see stuff on the internet that doesn’t add up. It’s kind of just a basic part of being alive now. One that caught our attention was a viral post comparing three Hot Wheels die casts—one from 1997, one from 2012, and one from 2026. Through the years, undercarriage detail is reduced, and the idea is that this is analogous to the decline of civilization. You could say it made us shake our collective heads here at the site, though not really in the way whoever started this hoax was probably aiming for. As usual, posts like this are founded on a grain of truth, extrapolated and artificially altered to make a far more sweeping statement with zero context. For starters, it’s AI generated, which at least the creator in this case didn’t attempt to hide. Even if they had, though, you could tell by the fact that Mattel, even today, doesn’t make Hot Wheels cars with the logo on the underside and absolutely nothing else.

The United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas was the first Formula One race I ever attended and therefore has a special place in my heart. Also, it took place in Texas, and as a native Texan that makes it better than any other race that was ever held anywhere else. When I heard that Cadillac would be doing a special livery for this year’s GP in Texas I was pleased, as any Texan would be. And then I saw the mistake most graphic designers make when trying to create something that looks Texan. Any stereotype you have about Texas is probably true, because Texas is big enough, and contains enough people, to find an example to prove anything you want. Texans are reserved and boisterous, proud and humble, god-fearing and hell-raising, sometimes all at once. It is our nature.

Few, if any, supercar manufacturers have perfected the art of building high-priced, limited-edition models quite like Lamborghini. Over the past two decades, the Italian brand has released dozens of ultra-exclusive cars that are even more dramatic than the company's standard modes. The Reventon Roadster stands out as one of its most remarkable. Unveiled in 2009, two years after the hardtop Reventon shocked the world at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Reventon Roadster was capped at just 15 units worldwide with prices starting at around $2.1 million. Most of these cars disappeared from public view the moment they were delivered to customers, and it's rare for one to hit the market. One is now up for auction in the U. S. where it's expected to fetch upwards of $3 million.
