Toyota Launches Remarkable 2025 Corolla Cross Lease Deal For August
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. A pristine 2018 Ferrari 488 GTB is up on Exotic Car Trader. This powerful supercar, with its 660-hp twin-turbo V8, has just 10,000 miles on the odometer and is ready for its next owner. If you compare the off-road-worthy Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 to the new Nissan Armada Pro-4X, you might be surprised at how evenly matched they are on paper. In practice, one outshines the other. Don't miss out on one of August's top luxury car deals. Find out all the details on the new 2025 Genesis G90, including its special lease offers and other incentives. The smallest Toyota SUV is an incredible lease value in August The Corolla Cross isn't the most iconic Toyota model, but for August, it's one of the best values in the crowded and very competitive small SUV segment. You can lease one for just $259 per month for 36 months with a 12,000-mile-per-year limit, which means you could potentially lower that payment even more by opting for 10,000 miles per year. You'll need to come up with $2,999 due at signing, and the figure doesn't include taxes or fees, and it may not be available in all markets. For example, shoppers in the Southwest are quoted at $349 per month with the same terms, while shoppers in the New York metro area will need to fork over $289 per month. We always recommend checking out the deals and incentives on the Toyota website with your ZIP code for the most accurate estimates. 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross Prefer $0 down? Using our initial $259 per month offer with $2,999 down, we can get a rough idea of what a zero-down lease looks like for the 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross. Spreading the amount out over the 36-month lease term will add $83.30 to the monthly payment, bringing the new total to $342.30 before local taxes, fees, and other potential costs. This isn't an official quote, just an estimate. Additional info on the Toyota Corolla Cross The 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross L — the base model for which this lease offer is valid — is the smallest and most affordable SUV in the Toyota lineup. It represents a decent enough value, with an MSRP that's technically under $25,000 and standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Just a few years ago, that would've been reserved for the highest trim models only. The Corolla Cross comes with a range of other goodies, including radar cruise control, lane departure alert, automatic high beams, and an eight-inch center display. The little SUV offers 46.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down. While that trails the competition, it offers 95 cubic feet of total passenger volume, which is only five cubic feet less than rivals in the next segment up, like the Mazda CX-50. 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross — Source: Toyota Final thoughts The Corolla Cross SUV arguably defines the subcompact SUV segment. It's small inside, outside, and under the hood, but if you can make it work for your goals, it's also a commensurately small portion of your monthly budget. Assuming the small SUV's few shortcomings aren't dealbreakers, we think this is a lease offer worth investigating further. It's simply hard to lease anything under $300 per month, let alone an SUV wearing a Toyota badge. Autoblog Newsletter Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video.

Alpina's Next Chapter: BMW Plans To Reinvent Its Most Elegant Performance Brand
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. A pristine 2018 Ferrari 488 GTB is up on Exotic Car Trader. This powerful supercar, with its 660-hp twin-turbo V8, has just 10,000 miles on the odometer and is ready for its next owner. If you compare the off-road-worthy Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 to the new Nissan Armada Pro-4X, you might be surprised at how evenly matched they are on paper. In practice, one outshines the other. Alpina And BMW: Always Aligned Ever heard of Alpina? If you're not a BMW fan, the name may not mean much, but it's been around for more than half a century, and it's preparing for a new future under BMW ownership. Similarly to how RUF is a manufacturer of its own vehicles with their own chassis and powertrain designs and not a tuner of Porsche 911s, Alpina is a manufacturer of cars. But while RUF comprehensively reengineers the few components it doesn't design and develop in-house, and although Alpina is a separate entity from BMW, its line of high-performance luxury cars is very closely related to the Bimmers that underpin them. BMW and Alpina have always worked hand in hand, with the latter's B7 today being produced on the same Dingolfing assembly line as the former's 7 Series. The two have become so cosy that BMW now owns the brand, and it has big plans for 2026 and beyond. But before we get there, we need to understand where Alpina came from. Born From The Desire For Higher Performance Source: Noah Joseph/AOL The original Alpina brand produced typewriters, but it disappeared by the end of the 1960s after attempting to move into textiles. Alpina as we know it was founded in 1965 by Burkard Bovensiepen in an outbuilding of the original typewriter factory, though its true genesis began in 1962 when the man developed a Weber dual carburetor for the BMW 1500. BMW itself was impressed, and in 1964, it certified the quality of the Alpina component by providing a full factory guarantee, leading to more revised carburetor, crankshaft, and cylinder head products. Come 1967, the current Alpina logo was created, incorporating a dual carburetor and a camshaft. By 1970, with nearly ten times the workforce, Alpina relocated to its current location in Buchloe, a town in Bavaria roughly 45 miles from Munich. That year, Alpina cars won the European Touring Car Championship, the Spa 24 Hours, the German Hillclimb Championship, and other track and rally racing championships. The company withdrew from racing in 1988. Its reason? Capacity restrictions were limiting its competitive chances, but just as importantly, the company was preparing a new line of BMW Alpina road cars after becoming recognized as an automobile manufacturer by the German Federal Ministry of Transport five years earlier. What Alpina Does Now Source: Alpina It's worth noting at this point that the E30 BMW M3 arrived in 1986 and became the most successful racecar in history, despite only having a four-cylinder engine. Not the most successful BMW – the most successful racecar. With roadgoing Alpina cars being hand-manufactured in lower volumes and BMW M cars now in existence to cater to performance enthusiasts, Alpina leaned further into its luxury image, and while many Alpinas can be more powerful and faster in a straight line than some similar Bimmers, they're intentionally never as sharp. Examples of its creations include the B3, a G20 3 Series-based sedan that uses the S58 engine from the M3 but with less power (456 hp versus 503) and more torque (516 lb-ft versus 479). Basically, if you see a B3 badge, you're looking at a more powerful, more luxurious 3 Series; if you see a B5, you're looking at a more powerful, more luxurious 5 Series. Alpinas with a D instead of a B in their name are modified versions of diesel-powered Bimmers. Tell-tale signs of Alpina fettling are the multi-spoke wheels, pinstripe body detailing, and additional vanes on bodywork, particularly on the front spoiler and rear fascia. Green and blue are its preferred paint colors, though more are available. Autoblog Newsletter Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video.

You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. With that close relationship with BMW, Alpina cars (both diesel and gasoline-powered) continue to be serviced and covered by BMW dealerships and warranties, despite being sold and registered without any mention of BMW. The differentiation will become less clear soon, however. How Alpina Is Preparing To Evolve In 2022, the BMW Group announced that it had acquired the rights to the Alpina brand in full, a year after Alpina had achieved the most successful year in its history. At the time, the pair said that the existing 'long-standing cooperation agreement' that was extended by five years in 2020 would expire on 31 December 2025. The reason for the change in ownership was described as follows: 'The transformation towards electromobility and increasing regulation worldwide – particularly emissions legislation, software validation, and requirements for driver assistance and monitoring systems – results in significantly higher risks for small-series manufacturers. The management of Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen GmbH + Co. KG is addressing this with a strategic realignment that will secure the long-term viability of the Buchloe operations.' Basically, Alpina builds too many cars to dodge emissions in the same way that ultra-low-volume manufacturers like Pagani and Koenigsegg might, but too few to have the engineering might and software expertise to be adequately prepared for an uncertain future. The gas-powered Porsche Macan crossover and 718 sports car were discontinued in Europe because their architecture could not accommodate new cybersecurity regulations, so the threat is real. And although emissions targets in Europe have been mildly relaxed and those in the U.S. have been all but eliminated, reducing carbon emissions remains an important goal for all automakers, and having the financial might of BMW fully behind the brand will surely lead to other opportunities. What We Might Expect The 2022 announcement confirmed that the sale of Alpina trademark rights would result in the discontinuation of the current Alpina vehicle program at the end of 2025, affecting jobs at the Buchloe site. This could imply that either Alpina-branded vehicles will eventually be made at BMW factories exclusively or that overall Alpina production volumes will be significantly reduced, potentially to produce even rarer, more profitable BMW-based creations. BMW has been expanding access to its Individual color palette and launching M Performance kits for just about every car with an M badge, indicating that more and more buyers are happy to spend a few thousand extra on customization. At the same time, the sold-out 3.0 CSL, Skytop, and Speedtop prove that there's a strong appetite for high-end Bimmers that cost six figures, so long as they're produced in low volumes. With the BMW Group also owning Rolls-Royce, it looks like a logical move to position Buchloe's products between Munich's and Goodwood's. If the Speedtop could be a success despite being based on the slow-selling 8 Series, perhaps Alpina could be just as successful in presenting some bespoke creations of its own at the annual BMW-backed Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance. A recent Autocar interview with BMW Group Head of Design Adrian van Hooydonk did not reveal anything about a bespoke Alpina model just yet, but he did say that while Maximillian Misoni's styling of future Alpinas will share 'one design language' with BMW, each brand would have distinct identities. Whatever the future holds, a new logo discovered by CarBuzz suggests that the changes from next year will be evident throughout the company. The revised imagery does away with the traditional shield shape that houses the Alpina brand marks, now enclosing them in a roundel that aligns the Alpina corporate identity even more closely with BMW's. This follows a new wordmark discovered by the BMW i5Talk forum in 2023, so BMW is certainly evaluating multiple ways of representing the brand from 2026. Keep an eye on the shores of Lake Como next year – we have a sneaking suspicion BMW will relaunch the brand at Villa d'Este. About the Author Sebastian Cenizo View Profile

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 N: A Shockingly Fun EV That Might Win Over Gas Fans
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. A pristine 2018 Ferrari 488 GTB is up on Exotic Car Trader. This powerful supercar, with its 660-hp twin-turbo V8, has just 10,000 miles on the odometer and is ready for its next owner. The quick and the mostly dead For the most part, EVs are quick and efficient, but they are not particularly engaging to drive. Yes, the torque is immediate, and the sheer acceleration can be astounding, but the absence of gear changes, vibrations, and sounds makes the EV driving experience feel disconnected. There's a visceral feel of internal combustion that simply can't be replicated. I recognize that the tsunami-like arrival of EVs constitutes the biggest change in automotive history, but I'm just not on board yet. Previous Pause Next Unmute 0:09 / 0:09 Full screen 2024 Kia EV6 GT-Line review: Is this the EV that will convert you? Watch More Most of the EVs I've driven in my career as an automotive editor haven't thrilled me much. Vehicles like the Nissan Ariya, Volkswagen ID.4, and the Toyota bZ4X put me to sleep with their quiet and isolating driving experience. On the flipside, I was pleasantly surprised by the Volkswagen because it was quick, responsive, and drove very differently from its modern minivan looks. The Kia EV6 GT is an electric land rocket, and then there's the comically insane Hyundai IONIQ 5 N. But as a middle-aged man, I also wouldn't park any one of those in my garage based on looks alone. Don't even get me started on Teslas, and it's not even remotely for political reasons. I just can't. 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6 N — Source: Hyundai Then came the news of the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N. 641 horsepower, all-wheel drive, special chassis tuning, and a redesigned suspension setup for track-worthiness. Like the IONIQ 5 N, it has the N eShift that simulates gear shifts via steering wheel-mounted paddles, a huge step in the right direction for performance-minded EVs. But it's a bit more mature in its styling than the IONIQ 5 N, and that's what I'm looking for if I were ever to consider switching to electric. Why the IONIQ 6 N is so convincing Before diving into performance metrics and driving dynamics, let's talk about presence. Take one look at the IONIQ 6 N's more curvaceous sedan body, even in the bright Performance Blue Pearl paint, and it wouldn't look wrong with a grown-up behind the wheel. The sloping roofline, revised front fascia, and sculpted doors change the way the IONIQ 6 is perceived, as opposed to its hatchback/crossover sibling. There are no cut-lines in the doors, the wheels are more subdued, and even the red body trim is toned down.

But make no mistake, there are still visual cues that show the world this EV means business: the black five-spoke wheels, the black grille, the black bumper/diffuser, and that fixed rear wing all add a menacing edge that looks more Nürburgring-ready than your typical EV. The IONIQ 6's streamlined, fastback silhouette already turned heads when it debuted, but the N variant is even more dramatic. This is not your typical electric family sedan. Hyundai didn't just slap on a body kit and call it a day. The design serves a functional purpose. The widened stance and larger wheels, paired with sticky high-performance tires, and the downforce-generating wing make it clear: this isn't an EV built for great range, it's one to be hammered, pushed, and enjoyed for the performance vehicle it is. So, aside from the visuals and aero bits, what's underneath it all? Building emotion into an EV 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6 N — Source: Hyundai There's no messing around with the power found in the IONIQ 6 N. It packs dual electric motors delivering an exotic sports sedan-level 641 horsepower (with N Grin Boost engaged) and a rocketship-like 0–60 mph in just 3.2 seconds. These aren't just big numbers—they're numbers that rewrite your expectations the moment you mash the accelerator. Yes, there are quicker EVs out there, but that's not what makes the case for me. If it's anything like the IONIQ 5 N, then it's more rewarding to drive than just about any other mainstream EV sold today. 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6 N — Source: Hyundai Hyundai's N division has translated its track-honed expertise into an electric format. The chassis is stiff, the steering sharp, and the electronically controlled suspension actively adapts to every road imperfection and driving mode. Even the regenerative braking can be fine-tuned to mimic engine braking in a manual transmission car—one of the many touches that makes ICE diehards like me feel drawn to it over less interesting fare. 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6 N — Source: Hyundai Now, let's address the elephant in the room: sound. For many enthusiasts, the lack of exhaust note in an EV is a deal-breaker. Passionate drivers want to hear their cars work for it. Hyundai went to work solving this with what they call N Active Sound+, essentially a system that pipes synthetic engine noise through the cabin using eight internal and two external speakers. Drivers can choose between sounds that mimic a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, a fighter jet-inspired EV whine, or a futuristic spaceship hum (the last one is fun but weird). 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6 N — Source: Hyundai It's not real, but surprisingly, it kinda works. The system is customizable, nuanced, and reactive to throttle input and gear shifts. This is a level of 'engagement' that is unheard of in the EV world, and it emotionally connects you in a very different way. It's almost like you're shifting through a dual-clutch gearbox, thanks to N e-Shift, which simulates the feeling of gear changes—complete with torque interruptions. Don't draw comparisons to vegetarians and their plant-based 'Almost Steak' that's meant to mimic beef. This is far more rewarding. It's not trying to replace the ICE experience—it's reinterpreting it in a way that honors the past while embracing the future. It's what performance EVs should strive for. Everyday usability makes the IONIQ 6 N family-friendly 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6 N — Source: Hyundai I have to drive my kids every day, and I don't want an SUV. The IONIQ 6 N has a whopping 39.2 inches of legroom the the back row, which is better than the Toyota Camry. Its headroom is limited in the IONIQ 6 N because of the sloping roof, but there's ample space for most folks, and it's cavernous for my kids. It also has a real trunk with 11.2 cubic feet of space. That's not as big as a Honda Accord, but it's more than enough for groceries, backpacks, and sports gear. Done and done. 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6 N — Source: Hyundai I also don't want crappy range, but my expectation isn't at Lucid levels. Hyundai hasn't released official range numbers as of writing, but it could end up being around 250 miles with an 84-kWh battery.. It supports 800V ultra-fast charging, allowing a 10% to 80% charge in just 18 minutes under optimal conditions. So even if you're burning electrons on a spirited run, getting charged back up to near capacity won't take long. Then there's the cabin: sporty yet comfortable, with heavily bolstered N sport seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and intuitive infotainment. Performance data is also at your fingertips thanks to specific displays for N Mode that provide real-time data on the vehicle's G-force during acceleration, braking, and cornering. It will also time your laps and acceleration figures via the Performance Timer. There's even an N Track Manager that allows drivers to create custom tracks, monitor speed data, and analyze performance with real-time ghost car visuals. Try that in your 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 6 N — Source: Hyundai As insane as the IONIQ 6 N is from a performance standpoint, it's still a four-door sedan, so there's very little compromise for the kind of figures it puts down. Hyundai understands that straight-line quickness isn't enough to satisfy driving enthusiasts; engagement really does matter. It would've been enough to build the IONIQ 5 N, but they went one more step and created a sedan version that tugs at our automotive heartstrings. The IONIQ 6 N offers performance and practicality with a dose of mature looks. Who says you can't have it all? Final thoughts The Hyundai IONIQ 6 N is about as close as I might get to converting to electric. It isn't just a good electric performance car—it's a driver's car, period. It's a car that makes lifelong gearheads like me stop and think: If this is what EVs can be, maybe the future isn't so bleak after all. Hyundai has done what few thought possible: they've built an EV that makes ICE folks do a double-take. For the first time, I'm seriously considering putting down the gas pump and plugging in instead. Driving it will be the final litmus test. I can't wait. About the Author Amos Kwon View Profile

2018 Ferrari 488 GTB For Sale With Just 10,000 Miles
The Ferrari 488 GTB came out in 2015 as the replacement for the similarly styled 458. It was the first Ferrari to use a mid-mounted turbocharged V8 since the F40, and spawned numerous variants and one-offs during its five-year production span. One such 488 is for sale on Exotic Car Trader, and you can check out the listing by clicking here. The Ferrari 488 GTB used a twin-turbo 3.9L V8 with an all-aluminum dry sump. In the regular GTB and Spider variants, it made 661 hp and 561 lb-ft of torque through a Getrag 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Ferrari claimed a 0-60 mph time of 3 seconds flat, with a blazing top speed of 205 mph. Bringing all of those horses to a stop takes some effort, but it's a task that's handily taken care of by the carbon-ceramic brakes derived from technology used in the LaFerrari. With massive 398 mm discs up front and 360 mm discs at the back, Ferrari claimed that the 488 has up to 9% reduced braking distance compared to the previous 458. Visually, the 488 draws inspiration from the 458, with the same sleek lines, wide haunches, and elongated headlamps that find their way up the front fender. The rear fenders give way to two massive air ducts on each side, with a central piece that gives them a look similar to a flying buttress. The rear end is equally as curvy, with rounded taillights at either end that share a space with the exits of the fender air ducts. Thinking about selling your car? Get a value estimate and list it online with Exotic Car Trader. Click here to learn more. This particular 2018 Ferrari 488 GTB boasts just over 10,000 miles on the odometer as well as the Carbon Fiber Racing Package, draping bits like the exterior air ducts, steering wheel, and parts of the dashboard in carbon fiber. That exterior is finished in the classic Ferrari shade of Rosso Corsa with 20" forged dark painted wheels. The cabin is finished in a contrasting Nero leather interior, evoking the classic racing look of red over black, while incorporating some exterior details inside, including Cavallino-stitched Daytona racing seats, red stitching throughout, and Rosso-colored seatbelts. Any fears of damaging that exotic red paint will also be alleviated by the inclusion of paint protection film (PPF) over the entire body. The Ferrari 488 is about as Ferrari as you can get without shelling out a lifetime's fortune for an F40 or F50. It is undeniably one of the most recognizable models in the Prancing Horse's stables, much like the 458 that preceded it. I'd say something like "the $239,000 asking price isn't cheap," but this is one of Ferrari's flagship models, so of course it won't be. Given that this particular example has some tasteful options that perfectly complement the car and shows such low miles on the odometer, it's one of the best ones available on the market right now. It's certainly not for everyone, but those fortunate enough to sit behind its wheel know that they're in the presence of Italian royalty. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
