Non-Existent Tesla Roadster Claimed To Be "Last Best Driver's Car":TDS
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Good morning and welcome to The Down Shift , or TDS for short. The Down Shift is a new weekday early morning quick rundown of the latest news that's bubbling. It's meant to be something that can be easily glanced at while drinking that first cup of coffee. Each day TDS will start with a quick paragraph, maybe an update on what I'm driving, and then about five headlines each summarized in a sentence with a link for those seeking to read more and go deeper into the stories. The formatting will absolutely evolve, and feedback in both the comments and via email are welcome at tips@ TDS is light, it's quick, and it's meant to pair with your coffee. I'm already one cup into the day. Lets get into it. 🚘 What I'm driving: I just spent a long weekend with the 2025 Lexus LC 500 Convertible and it makes the most lovely sounds. 🔋 Tesla's Vice President of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy claimed in front of a crowd at X Takeover 2025 that the upcoming Tesla Roadster, which debuted in 2017, will be the 'last best driver's car.' 💰 Audi had a 'challenging' first half of the year due to 'tariffs and expenses,' and the result will be a 'fundamental realignment of Audi,' according to the automaker. ⚙️ Santo Ficili, CEO of both Maserati and Alfa Romeo, said a 'few-off' set of cars could come from the Trident and the manual transmission might even be revived. 🌎 As the midwest gets pummeled with heat and storms the EPA reportedly drafted a plan to end the agency's ability to fight climate change and remove limits on tailpipe emissions. 🏎️ With the results of the F1 Belgian Grand Prix over the weekend it sounds like Max Verstappen won't be able to trigger his supposed exit clause with Red Bull for the 2026 season, if that was part of the champ's plans.

An Acura Integra Type R Just Sold for $204,000
The latest car news, reviews, and features. I don't know precisely when it happened, but the Acura Integra Type R has become the bellwether and poster child for controversially valued modern enthusiast classics. My friend Caleb wrote about one with fewer than 2,000 miles on the odometer that sold for $63,800 back in 2018. That may have seemed like a lot back then, but the Gran Turismo staple has, regrettably, more than kept up with inflation. Today, a Phoenix Yellow example from 2001 with 4,800 recorded miles sold on Bring a Trailer for $204,204. This vehicle was one of 1,173 supposedly built for U.S. sale for its model year. It is absolutely pristine as you'd expect; a totally unmodified coupe with 25-year-old tires belonging to the RealTime Collection Hall, which may, in part, explain the astronomical sale price. Peter Cunningham's RealTime Racing famously dominated North American touring car competition with these, and if anyone knows how special the Integra Type R can be, that's the crew. Like all American Integra Type Rs, the high-revving 1.8-liter four-cylinder in this one makes 195 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque, and is connected to a five-speed manual. When new, this car cost $24,930, equivalent to $45,176 today. That inflation adjustment actually maps shockingly well onto a new Civic Type R, which will set you back no less than $47,045 in 2025 dollars. And you could afford four of those for what this Integra's third owner has paid for this car. Bring a Trailer Everything that could be said about this phenomenon of working-class performance cars encased in amber, trading hands for 911 Turbo figures, has pretty much been said before. Some will bemoan it. Others will take no position, throw their hands up, and say the market sets the value. And others still in the comments section will celebrate it, because they already own one or three. The Integra Type R deserves its vaunted status, as those lucky enough to have driven one would agree. A 2,400-pound curb weight, 8,400-rpm redline, and the front-wheel-drive chassis to which all will forever be compared will earn you that distinction. Everyone's got their line, though. If you asked me seven years ago what mine was, it's fair to assume it would have been lower than $63,000. But now, after this? $63K looks like a pretty good deal, and that's how a line gets moved. I would only spend that on a Japanese one with the better headlights, though. Got a tip? Send us a note: tips@

Should You Buy a 2025 CR-V Hybrid Instead of the New One?
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. Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video. Research and compare vehicles, too. View post: Which is the Cooler Rally‑Car Homage: MAT New Stratos or the Kimera Automobili EVO37? Popular SUV Meets Rising 2026 Prices The Honda CR‑V is one of the most popular vehicles in the US, ranking in the five best-selling models in 2024. There are several reasons for its appeal, primarily because it combines practicality, fuel efficiency, and a solid reputation for dependability. The hybrid variant, in particular, gained traction as more buyers look for electrified options without making the jump to full EVs. 0:08 / 0:09 Thinking about buying a Toyota RAV4? These 5 rivals might change your mind Watch More Now that the 2026 model is available to order, buyers will see updated features and an expanded hybrid lineup. But these come with higher starting prices. The base LX begins at $32,315 (excluding destination charges), while the hybrid trims now range from $37,025 for the Sport to $43,645 for the Sport Touring. The price increase puts the 2026 CR‑V Hybrid lineup noticeably above the outgoing models, many of which are still available as dealer inventory. As a result, 2025 CR‑V Hybrid models, particularly the entry-level trims, are starting to look like better value propositions. Dealer Inventories are Discounted Right Now Searching inventory through shows that several 2025 CR‑V Hybrid trims are available with dealer discounts, especially the Sport and Sport-L variants. The front-wheel-drive Sport is listed around $34,650, and the AWD version is going for roughly $36,150. Moving up, Sport-L FWD units are priced near $37,650, while AWD versions hover around $39,150. However, pricing for the top-tier 2025 Sport Touring Hybrid tells a different story. Rather than being discounted, many listings show markups pushing prices above $45,000 – more than the starting MSRP for the 2026 equivalent. This limits the value appeal of the fully loaded model and narrows the real savings opportunity to the lower trims.

You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. For buyers aiming to get the best deal, the 2025 CR‑V Hybrid Sport offers the most consistent value and availability at under $35,000. What Buyers are Giving Up by Skipping 2026 Buyers opting for a 2025 model will miss out on a few updates introduced with the 2026 refresh. These include a larger 9-inch touchscreen as standard, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto across all trims, and a 10.2-inch display on the higher trims. The Sport Touring trim now includes native Google services like Assistant, Maps, and Play. Visually, there's not much of a difference between the new version and the inventory units. There's also a new, off-road-oriented TrailSport trim that brings some visual differentiation, as well as upgrades like a standard all-wheel drive and an improved traction control system. However, it does not feature off-road-specific tuning or suspension hardware, limiting its impact beyond aesthetics and traction software. While 2026 models carry more tech and minor upgrades, the 2025 CR‑V Hybrid, especially in Sport trim, still delivers strong value, familiar performance, and modern features without the steeper price. If you're in the market for a hybrid SUV right now, make sure to shop around and don't ignore the inventory units while they still last. About the Author Jacob Oliva View Profile
