The Ford Probe was originally destined to replace the Mustang. But instead of ditching its rear-drive muscle car for a Mazda-based front-driver, Ford simply added the Probe to the lineup alongside the venerable 'Stang.

Ford Slashes 2025 Bronco Raptor Base Price By More Than $10,000
The Ford Bronco Raptor just got $10,040 less expensive in the middle of the 2025 model year, with the price of the hardcore off-road SUV coming down to a starting MSRP of $79,995. This price reduction, initially reported by Ford Authority, arrives as a mid-model year shift. The 2025 Raptor initially went on sale for $90,035, but as of this story's publication, the configurator now lists it with the new $79,995 starting point. Adding the destination charge of $1995 (up $100 since the beginning of the 2025 model year) brings you to an out-the-door price of $81,990. Don't get too hype about the big decrease, however, as it's just the latest adjustment in what has been a pricing merry-go-round for the Bronco Raptor ever since it launched. The starting price for the Raptor at launch was a mere $68,500, but multiple price increases soon after brought prices into the mid-$80,000 range. The 2024 and beginning of 2025 model years saw the highest starting price yet, cresting $90,000 even before options. Today, though, the price for a Bronco Raptor is as cheap as it's been since 2023. It's common to see prices for a vehicle increase over time, but the massive shifts of the Bronco Raptor are anything but the norm. (Road & Track queried Ford to get a handle on why the price suddenly decreased mid-model year by such a large amount, but had not heard back as of this story's original publication time; we'll update this story if we hear back) Ford already had an advantage over the Jeep Wrangler 392 on price, but now the gap between the two is $20,000. Yes, Jeep's V8-powered Wrangler starts at $99,995 these days. That said, tacking on a few high-dollar options to the 2025 Raptor will get you within shouting distance of the pricey Wrangler, so mind your spec if you want to make the most of these new savings.

Mazda Recalls 12K Miatas for Traction-Control Light That Might Not Work
Mazda is recalling 12,244 Miata models due to an issue where certain warning lights don't display. The recall involves 2024–2025 models, whose traction- and stability-control systems might not properly behave. Miata owners affected by the recall can bring their car to the dealer to fix the issue free of charge—though some will have to wait for an available part. Sideways shenanigans might go unsupervised in newer Mazda Miatas due to an issue with their dynamic stability control (a.k.a. DSC), which can fail to illuminate a warning light in the required situation. This has led the Japanese automaker to recall over 12,000 Miatas from the 2024 and 2025 model years. Mazda filed a recall report with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on June 3, 2025. The report states that the lights for the DSC as well as the traction-control (TC) systems may not light up when an abnormal yaw rate (see: getting sideways) is detected. Without the warning lights, drivers could potentially get themselves in trouble with sudden steering inputs that could lead to oversteering or understeering. Since the DSC/TC software is malfunctioning, the systems might not come to the rescue, which obviously raises the risk of a crash. View Interior Photos Mazda According to Mazda's NHTSA filing, the issue is caused by an error with the DSC unit's software diagnostic programming. To fix the problem, Miata will ask owners to bring their vehicles to a dealer who will replace the faulty part with improved software. This won't cost customers a penny. However, Mazda says this will be a phased (long-lead) recall, as the necessary parts for all the affected vehicles aren't expected to be available until the second quarter of 2026. Still, individual owners will be notified whether the part for their Miata is available or not available by July 21, 2025.

His aspiration growing up was to become a millionaire with a Jay Leno–like car collection. Apparently, getting rich is harder than social-media influencers make it seem, so he avoided financial success entirely to become an automotive journalist and drive new cars for a living. After earning a journalism degree at Central Michigan University and working at a daily newspaper, the years of basically burning money on failed project cars and lemon-flavored jalopies finally paid off when Car and Driver hired him. His garage currently includes a 2010 Acura RDX, a manual '97 Chevy Camaro Z/28, and a '90 Honda CRX Si. Read full bio
