Historically, Chevrolet’s iconic sports car was known for delivering exotic supercar performance at a fraction of the price, though its cabin design and materials often left enthusiast drivers wishing for more.Up until the C7 generation, interior quality remained one of the few noticeable trade-offs in an otherwise formidable performance package.The latest C8 Corvette's interior is already a massive upgrade, but this Grand Sport Launch Edition is particularly noteworthy.Beyond headline features like its massive 6.7-liter V8 engine, this specialized model showcases a cabin that takes the Corvette to a new level.

It’s hard to say what the most important thing about the new 2027 Corvette Grand Sport is, but it most certainly has to do with not just performance, but power.For starters the Grand Sport gets an all new 6.7-liter V8 engine making 535 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque.That’s more torque than any other naturally aspirated engine on sale today.This is a solid increase from the old Stingray’s 6.2L V8 with 495 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque.

After first announcing that 2026 would bring to an end the production of its popular pickup, Honda has finally provided an answer to if the Ridgeline would continue to be a part of the brand's product cadence in the future.Ending speculation, the Japanese automaker has formally confirmed that a third-generation Ridgeline is currently in development, scheduling its arrival within the next two years.Designed at Honda's Southern California studio and engineered at the Auto Development Center in Ohio, the redesigned midsize pickup will feature an updated, more rugged aesthetic.Production will remain anchored at the Honda Alabama Auto Plant alongside the Pilot, Passport, and Odyssey.To prepare the assembly line for the incoming model, assembly of the current 2026 Ridgeline will pause later this year.While Honda has not yet detailed official powertrain specifications for the upcoming pickup, the redesign aligns directly with a broader corporate strategy to pivot toward hybrid technology.“The award-winning Honda R
