Does The Honda Prelude e:HEV Deserve All The Hate? We Drive It To Find Out
This is 2026’s most hated car, and not for reasons you think. When Honda decided to revive the Prelude nameplate for a sixth generation, the first time in over 20 years, expectations were high that one: it would kick the GR 86 and Miata’s ass and that two: it would be priced just as well.

Review: 2026 Subaru Forester e-Boxer Hybrid
You could argue that the Forester, and more generally Subaru, has lost its mojo. From making slightly oddball cars and SUVs, including high-performance turbocharged ones, they’re now as safe as vanilla in a Baskin-Robbins shop. The fifth-generation Forester, the SK as it’s known by its model code, is notorious for being the blandest of them all. About as exciting as watching two people play Scrabble, at least it was competent at the typical family SUV stuff. This brings us to the all-new Forester, or the SL if you tend to call Subarus by their model code. It’s still as innocuous as ever, but it now boasts of quality ingredients. Yes, it’s still every bit the vanilla ice cream, but this is one of those sea salt Tahitian vanilla variety.
