It has been just over one year since the 2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette, the first-ever mid-engined Vette, made its debut.  In that time it has garnered acclaim, praise, and proved so thoroughly excellent that we named it the 2020 MotorTrend Car of the Year. But what if none of the performance matters to you? What if you just want an exotic-looking mid-engine supercar to be seen in? Perhaps the Ferrari F8 Tributo and the Lamborghini Huracan Evo are exactly what you’d want, but they’re a little out of your price range. Well, fear not, the C8 Corvette can play that role, too, although it can do so a whole lot better with Sigala Designs’ decidedly unsubtle body kit. The Sigala kit for the new Corvette is transformative, least not because the C8’s styling is fairl...

The GR Sport won’t make its way to the United States, though. For now, the only GR-branded product Toyota plans on bringing to the U.S. is the Supra (we’ll see how long that lasts, though). But that doesn’t mean we can’t look on from afar. The whole point of the Corolla GR Sport, per Toyota, is to bring the Gazoo Racing brand to other segments and thereby introduce it to younger buyers. Both Mercedes and BMW have done something similar with their AMG and M sub-brands, which offer less powerful variants as sporty entry-level options to many of the two performance arms’ racier models. The GR Sport is essentially an accent package to give the Euro-market Corolla a little bit more visual oomph. There are small changes all over the exterior of the car: black m...

What’s the cure for too much chrome? Why, a monochromatic exterior—which is exactly what you’ll find on Ram‘s latest blacked-out special edition for its HD trucks, which won our 2020 Truck of the Year award. Taking cues from the 2020 Ram 1500 Limited Black Edition, the 2020 Ram Heavy Duty Limited Black Edition is a 3/4- or 1-ton truck absolutely peppered with black exterior accents. The idea of a black-on-black truck isn’t a revolutionary trend—after all, other factory and aftermarket customizers have adopted the theme for years—but instead of dying out, it seems to be here to stay for a while. Even if it is a bit tiresome, we’ll admit the all-black look is a mysterious, somewhat sophisticated, menacing, and—importa...
