Currently listed on AutoHunter is this 2009 Volkswagen New Beetle custom pickup. If you remember the Volkswagen Rabbit pickup from 1979-82, then allow us to introduce its heir apparent! This New Beetle was converted with a kit from Smyth Performance, Inc,. which was founded by the same guy who started Factory Five Racing. Quite a handsome ute, innit? This VW is powered by a 2.5-liter inline-five paired with a six-speed automatic. Other features include a metal bed, power sunroof, air conditioning, power windows and locks, and more. Finished in cream and orange metallic over a custom cream and tan leather interior, this professional pickup conversion is offered by the selling dealer with a clear title.

The exterior is painted in a two-tone combination of cream and orange metallic. Unique, aftermarket taillights have replaced the original New Beetle taillights and, boy, do they look good on this vehicle. Other exterior features include color-matched adjustable side mirrors, a power sunroof, and a custom metal bed. A set of 16-inch alloy wheels (with anti-theft wheel locks) is wrapped in 205/55 Kelly Edge A/S radials.

The interior features cream and orange leather upholstery. A set of bucket seats surrounds a console housing an automatic shifter with Tiptronic manual control and a sport mode. Other features include air conditioning, an aftermarket three-spoke wooden steering wheel with power steering, power windows and locks, and aftermarket Jensen AM/FM stereo with USB and Bluetooth compatibility.

Instruments include a 160-mph speedometer, 7,000-rpm tachometer, and fuel gauge. The odometer currently reads 63,853 miles, which is the true mileage, according to the seller.

Powering this Volkswagen is a fuel-injected 2.5-liter DOHC inline-five that was rated at 150 horsepower when new. It is paired with a six-speed automatic.

The undercarriage features four-wheel disc brakes, Anti-Slip Regulation, 4.24 gears, and a single-exit exhaust system.

Light-duty pickups come and go, with the Honda Ridgeline bringing it back to the market (now joined by the Hyundai Santa Cruz). Neither of those have the style of our AutoHunter Spotlight, this 2009 Volkswagen New Beetle custom pickup. And neither of those have the quasi-Audi feel that Volkswagens of this era have baked in. Is your curiosity piqued? If so, you have some time to sneak in a bid or two, but not forever—once the clock strikes 12:15 p.m. (MST) on Friday, November 14, 2025, your chance for utilitarian fun will expire. Happy bidding!

Much like my Pick of the Day from last week, the Porsche 986 Boxster represents a ton of sports car for the money. In the Boxster, you get a traditional boxer six-cylinder, an amazing chassis helped by the mid-engine design, and a car that is as good at track days as it is for long road trips or just day-to-day driving. Dynamically, it is a better-handling and better-driving car than the 996-era 911, and I say that after having owned both. No, it is not a 911 but rather a more advanced design. Our Pick of the Day is one of the more special 986s out there, a 2004 Porsche Boxster S 550 Edition listed on ClassicCars.com by a seller in Wittmann, Arizona.

And what a design it is! Penned by Grant Larson as somewhat a modern take on the 550 Spyder, the Boxter was an immediate hit with journalists as well as buyers thanks to the 550 design cues yet still a modern-driving car. It also was an incredibly important car for Porsche as it was the first true, entry-level model Porsche had built in years, bringing new owners to the brand. It was also the first all-Porsche-DNA entry-level model since the 912.

Behind the wheel, the Boxster feels like a complete driver’s car, with everything you want as a driver and nothing you don’t. It has comforts such as good air conditioning, comfortable seats, and a decent stereo, but foregoes a lot of the things you see in many modern-day cars. It is also very analog in its driving experience, with incredibly communicative steering, a great gearbox, and an engine that is not only very capable, but one that also sounds amazing.

In 2004, Porsche created its first special-edition Boxster with the 550 edition. This version was only available as a Boxster S and included options that you could not get on any other Boxster: upgraded 266-horsepower engine (the highest output of any 986 Boxster), Carrera GT Silver paint (the same color that had been used only on the Carrera GT), special double, overlapping exhaust pipes, cocoa brown full-leather interior (with grey natural leather as a no-cost option), unique interior paintwork, special aluminum shift knob, factory short-shifter kit, high-end Bose sound system, two-tone gray and silver 18-inch Carrera wheels (available unpainted as another zero-cost option), 5mm wheel spacers, Boxster S sport exhaust, M030 option sports suspension, and a limited-edition plaque on the center console that shows the car’s number out of the 1953 built.

The sellers description is a bit low on content, but it does include some important information. First, this is #1709 of the 1953 cars built. According to the seller, this Boxster has had a complete mechanical overhaul including the IMS bearing. It is stated that the engine has received a full tear-down with all new seals, rings, gaskets, water pump cooler and air separator, new flywheel, and new clutch. It also has a brand-new set of four Michelin Pilot sport tires. The seller adds that this amounted to $10,000 worth of labor and parts, and that all receipts will be included.

This Boxster has covered a total of 75,000 from new, but this sounds like an example of a car that has literally had everything done that might need to be done. Of all the first-generation Boxsters, the 550 edition is my favorite due to the exclusive paint and interior options plus the added horsepower. It is also likely the least-expensive special-edition Porsche you can find, with this one available for the asking price of $20,000. That to me represents a great deal, especially with the service history of this example.

This 2004 Boxster S 550 Edition might not be quite as fast as a modern 718 Boxster, but what I love about these first-generation Boxsters is that they are still powered by a six-cylinder engine, sound unmistakably like a Porsche, and represented the start of something new for Porsche as a company. The fact that this vehicle is at the end of the run for the 986 makes it even more interesting and special. Don’t forget what Joel Goodson said in Risky Business: “Porsche: there is no substitute.”

You may have heard the joke that a car with a manual transmission is the best theft deterrent available. However, parents of teens are changing tack on the traditional standard transmission.

Everyone knows that distracted driving is a problem, but it’s out there front-and-center every day for me. As a motorcycle rider, I often have a good vantage point to notice the distracted people who threaten my safety. I even see people in modern cars that have Bluetooth, yet they have their cell phone stuck to their ear. That’s unacceptable.

A small segment of parents understands this and wishes to contribute to safer roads for their loved ones and the rest of us. They believe teaching their teens how to navigate a shifter and clutch will result in fewer opportunities to be distracted while driving. According to one parent, “Driving a stick shift requires constant focus and anticipation. You need to think ahead about when to upshift and downshift, coordinate the clutch and gas pedal and stay mentally engaged with every aspect of driving. There’s something about that engagement that makes you a better, more attentive driver. The room for distraction shrinks.”

Parenting certainly is different these days. Sure, that could be said about any generation, but there is plenty of uncharted territory when it comes to cell phones, the Internet, and our children. As cell phones may appear to be a natural extension of a teen’s persona, it is realistic to assume they will be a distraction behind the wheel (because, after all, it doesn’t happen with adults, right?). According to the Centers for Disease Control, the risk of motor vehicle crashes for those 16-19 are higher than for any other age group. If it’s nighttime or the weekend, the risk goes up. Males are three times as likely to be killed as females in the same age group. Passengers also increase the risk of crashing—no, not you, but your kid’s friends, even those considered “young adults” by you old fogeys. Each young passenger increases the crash risk.

This is not to say teens driving a car with a manual transmission cannot be distracted, as even we adults develop clever ways to multitask. “The manual transmission might keep your teens’ hands occupied and off their cellphone for some time, but it’s unlikely that this alone will prevent them from driving distracted long-term,” says Dr. Shimoji-Krishnan, a Kaiser Permanente child/adolescent psychologist.

One parent raises the point that cars are more automatic than ever, giving teens the opportunity to use their phones for even more distractions. “There are so many functions the car does for you that it’s easy for [my son’s] mind to wander more.” Another parent adds, “Given today’s landscape, where teens often go through drive-throughs and eat in their cars while using their phones and talking to friends, it definitely forces [my son] to pay more attention to what he is doing behind the wheel than if he were driving an automatic.”

As enthusiasts, we know the take rate of stick-shift vehicles has been in decline for a long time. Several years ago, that number was 1.7 percent of cars sold in the U.S. That’s not to say many teens will buy new cars, but the pickings are quite slim. Nonetheless, one point of solace is that the ritual of obtaining a driver’s license has declined over the past 20 years—while I couldn’t wait to turn 16, many teens are “meh” about driving. And today we have Uber and Lyft as well, which provide a service that has proliferated on local roads.

This story was sourced from “Distracted driving is a real problem for teens. These parents think they’ve found the solution” on Yahoo.

Car spotting is a pastime that almost every automotive enthusiast enjoys. We go about our daily lives while keeping our eyes open for noteworthy vehicles out in the wild. I was out for my morning walk recently when I was seduced by a sculpted coupe lit up by the Arizona sunrise. I knew it was a Cadillac ATS, but couldn’t resist the urge to cross the street and get a closer look. With styling so crisp and modern, I was surprised to check the VIN and learn that it was about 10 years old. Without trying to be too much of a creep, I took a few photos of the car to share.

Finished in Red Passion Tintcoat, it was incredibly well kept, and it made me realize something: This was Cadillac’s last coupe. The ATS paved the way for the Cadillac CT4, which launched in 2020, but there is no CT4 coupe. Cadillac simply does not have a coupe in its production lineup. The Coupe de Ville, launched in 1949, put Cadillac on the map when it came to personal luxury. Who would have thought that 70 years later, Cadillac would phase out coupes entirely?

ATS Attributes

The ATS launched in 2013 as a compact executive sedan on the GM “Alpha” platform; a coupe version followed two years later in 2015. True to its mission of personal luxury, it boasted a long list of creature comforts like premium interior materials, cutting-edge tech for the time, and a CUE infotainment system. Fun fact: The ATS coupe was actually six inches longer than the ATS sedan. No wonder it had such a commanding presence that I couldn’t take my eyes off it.

There were several engine options available for 2016, the model year the car I saw rolled off the line: a 272-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four and a 335-horsepower 3.6-liter V6. At the top of the ATS coupe hierarchy was the ATS-V. It featured twin turbochargers added to the V6, as well as a unique crank and titanium rods. Most impressive of all: The rating for that car was 464 horsepower, making it a formidable competitor to the Audi A5/S5, BMW 4 Series, and Lexus RC. Depending on optioning, the ATS could come with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Transmission offerings included an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed manual.

The ATS coupe that I spotted had the naturally aspirated V6, which had more than enough performance for most people. Motor Trend said about the car, “The ATS continues to be a quick, responsive car, with a sonorous snarl that makes us eager to wind out the engine as often as possible. The 2016 coupe will tear to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds.” An added bonus: The ATS could also stop with confidence, since Brembo brakes were standard.

Discontinuation and Legacy

The sad truth was that the Cadillac ATS coupe offered features that enthusiasts asked for, yet the car failed to meet sales expectations. As we’ve seen in the marketplace in recent years, buyers are overwhelmingly choosing crossovers for their new vehicles. So, if you’re one of the lucky ones who owns an ATS coupe, enjoy that future collectible. And if you don’t have one yet, maybe this is your sign to start hunting for a clean example of Caddy’s last coupe.

There is without a doubt a “honeymoon phase” when it comes to acquiring a classic car. In just a few weeks of ownership, my friend (and devout BMW enthusiast), Lawrence, has put about 2,000 miles on his newly acquired 1995 BMW 5-Series. He just can’t seem to get enough time behind the wheel. And who could blame him? BMW, after all, prides itself in building the “Ultimate Driving Machine.”

Lawrence’s road-tripping adventures took him first and foremost from the Bay Area of California to Phoenix following his initial purchase. Then, he promptly took the car back to California for RADwood and, most recently, he joined a group drive to the Tucson area for some canyon carving. Specifically, he ascended Mount Lemmon, one of the most panoramic roads in the southwest region.

BMW 540i Backstory

The 1995 BMW 540i was an autobahn-cruising powerhouse in its day. It represented the final model year of the “E34” chassis 5-Series, boasting a potent 282-horsepower 4.0-liter DOHC V8 under the hood. Best of all, for enthusiasts like Lawrence, the car could be optioned with a six-speed manual transmission for the most engaging driving experience possible. When equipped with options like the M-Sport package, heated seats, and other amenities, the manufacturer retail price could soar into the low $60,000 range when new. That price tag comes out to a jaw-dropping $120,000-plus in modern-day money when accounting for inflation.

Thirty years ago, the 540i was at the cutting edge of automotive innovation. Standard equipment included anti-lock brakes, cruise control, power-adjustable steering column, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote keyless entry, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and dual-position electric sunroof. Well-optioned, indeed, and well-kept, low-mileage examples usually come at a premium price. Lawrence’s car has only about 91,000 miles on the odometer.

While the 540i was sometimes criticized for its fuel economy, not too many people cared about that. It was an executive sedan with a sporty side. The New York Times said, “With the new manual transmission, zero-to-60 acceleration takes only 6.2 seconds, making it a half-second quicker than the same car with BMW’s five-speed automatic. The top speed is electronically limited to 128 mph, which is no doubt zippy enough for the craziest among us.” The powertrain was praised for its strong low-end torque and smooth power delivery. No wonder one of the most popular magazine ads for the car said it was the “Torque of the Town.”

Mount Lemmon Experience

The Mount Lemmon Scenic Byway, also known as the Catalina Highway, is a 28-mile stretch of twisty road that climbs about 6,000 feet from Tucson to a small town called Summerhaven in the Santa Catalina Mountains (at about 8,200 feet in elevation). There are only about 71 residents who call Summerhaven home year-round.

The spirited roads were the perfect place for Lawrence to assess his BMW’s handling capabilities. Our group dined at Sawmill Run Restaurant and enjoyed the fall colors—something we don’t get to see in the Phoenix area due to the climate at lower elevations. My 1992 Acura Integra GS-R (the same car that was featured on Jay Leno’s Garage a few years ago) did the best it could at keeping up with Lawrence’s 4.0-liter V8 sedan. A few other vehicles in the convoy were a Honda Accord, Honda S2000, Acura TL, and Ford Ranger Raptor pickup.

At the end of the day, it was a satisfying excursion among car enthusiasts—and here’s to hoping Lawrence’s honeymoon with the 5-Series continues for a long road ahead.

I was the previous owner of a 1987 Buick Grand National; however, due to life’s circumstances, I was forced to sell it more than 20 years ago. I made a promise to myself that when I retired, I would be on the hunt for another one.

Fast-forward to last year, when I was about eight months out from retirement. After countless hours of hunting while bringing my wife, family and friends along with me through this classic car search journey, I came across this 1987 Buick Turbo T. The fact that I live in Hawaii and I found this vehicle in South Carolina is nothing short of a miracle. This rare, barn-kept find with unique options was well worth the wait.

These days, everyone’s in such a hurry. With a top speed of only about 65 miles per hour, our Pick of the Day is a classic car that will help you learn to enjoy the scenery and take things slowly for a change. This 1931 Ford Model A listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Spicewood, Texas.

“Some recent repairs completed, and it starts right up,” the listing says. “Purchased about three years ago from a classic car dealer.”

The Model A was a key vehicle for not just the Ford brand, but also for the automotive industry as a whole. It originally debuted in 1927 and marked a strong evolution in safety and equipment from its predecessor, the Model T. Some of those advancements included a more powerful 201ci inline-four, three-speed transmission (in place of the prior two-speed), four-wheel mechanical drum brakes, longer wheelbase, and a zippy top speed of 25 miles per hour faster than the Model T’s.

Indeed, it was a lot more car, and Ford worked hard to promote its merits. One of the magazine ads for the Model A said, “You will find new joy in motoring because you will have a new feeling of confidence and security. No matter how long the trip, or rough or devious the roadway, you know that your Ford will take you safely, comfortably, and speedily to the journey’s end.”

This clean Washington Blue roadster has a charming and classic look to it. The seller says that the car even has a period-correct “Ahooga” horn (here’s a YouTube demo of what that sounds like). Exterior features include chrome bumpers, black fenders, tan canvas top, radiator ornament, wire wheels, Firestone wide whitewall tires, rumble seat, and rear-mounted luggage with newer leather straps. I like how the taillights have the word “STOP” in them. That isn’t a feature we see in modern-day vehicles!

The cabin is a very simple space, upholstered in brown vinyl and equipped with just a few basic instruments. The odometer says 419 miles, although true mileage on the car is unknown. “Overall, in really good condition for a 94-year-old,” the seller says. “A blast to drive around, and could be close to show worthy.”

It’s fun to celebrate “newer” classics like vehicles from around the Y2K era, but it’s even more impressive to see a car that’s nearly 100 years old still out there racking up miles and turning heads. This Model A would be the star of any date night or cruise-in. Just don’t try getting on any high-speed interstates.

The asking price is $26,000 or best offer.

Fans of certain vehicles have had to wait a long time for them to return to the U.S. market. There were 25 years between the last and current generations of the Ford Bronco. Jeep took more than three decades to bring out a new Grand Wagoneer for the 2022 model year. Stateside Toyota Crown fans had it even worse: The automaker sold the sedan here from 1958 until 1972, but brought it back more than 50 years later as a high-riding, all-wheel-drive hybrid with available two-tone finishes.

As it eventually does with many of its models, Toyota added a Nightshade trim level to the Crown lineup last year. Based on the Limited, the Nightshade model comes standard with quad-LED headlights, a panoramic fixed-glass roof, leather seats with heating and ventilation in the first row and heat in the second row, 12.3-inch gauge and infotainment screens, and an 11-speaker JBL audio system. The Nightshade package consists of dark badging, mirror caps, window trim, and door handles, and matte black 21-inch wheels. The 2026 Crown Nightshade that my colleague Luke Lamendola and I tested separately had a starting price of $48,765 and – thanks to a lack of optional extras – an as-tested price of $49,900.

The word “hybrid” applies to the Crown Nightshade in a couple of major ways. One of the reasons people like crossovers and SUVs more than sedans is that they ride higher and provide a better view of the road ahead. The Crown is officially a sedan, but its Toyota GA-K platform-derived underpinnings make it nearly four inches taller than the Camry.

Of course, the Crown Nightshade is also a hybrid under the hood. Its 2.5-liter I4 joins forces with a pair of electric motors and a nickel-metal hydride battery pack to produce a total of 236 horsepower, which an eCVT and an all-wheel drive system with an on-demand rear electric motor delivers to the road. According to the EPA, the Crown Nightshade is capable of hitting 42 mpg in the city, 41 on the highway, and 41 combined. Acceleration was modest and noisy, but my test vehicle performed as advertised, returning 42.1 mpg across 360.2 miles.

The Crown Nightshade was not what it seemed to be at first glance. Its fast roofline made it appear to be a liftback along the lines of an Audi A7, but its rear glass stayed in place above the conventional rear trunk lid.

It was a similar situation inside. Given the Nightshade’s standard equipment, I wasn’t surprised that the first row was comfortable and convenient. Once again, the roofline was misleading: I thought its dramatic slope would significantly detract from second-row headroom, but I’m 5’10” and I had no issues sitting back there. Legroom was also abundant, giving the Crown Nightshade an unexpected touch of luxury. I felt like a VIP. It’s too bad that nobody in my family was authorized by Toyota to drive me around in it.

Perhaps I should’ve asked Luke to do that. Then again, maybe it’s a good thing that I didn’t. As you’ll learn in Luke’s full video review below, he enjoyed whipping the 2026 Toyota Crown Nightshade around.

It’s difficult to be a Dodge fan these days, but there is something called faith that keeps enthusiasts alive while they hold their collective breaths for a Hemi V8. It’s the same reason people follow a long-dead carpenter or a Chicago football team, but no one ever said following those things is difficult. Why is it different for a Dodge enthusiast?

Perhaps because, despite the odds, Dodge was able to persevere into relevance. Both the Charger and Challenger were based on quasi-obsolete components (thanks—but no thanks—Mercedes-Benz!), yet sales were robust thanks to strong, cheeky marketing, giving a nod to the past with colors and features, and being instrumental in the horsepower wars the likes of America hadn’t seen since 1970. Dodge has been the American anti-hero, rubbing Yankee sensibility into the face of a global industry while playing the part of a lonely brand within a multinational automotive corporation.

And then, it felt that America lost—not a war, but something even bigger. No more Hemi V8 sedans and coupes. None of the spirit that had brought us the Viper, revitalized Ram, Prowler, or (gulp) the PT Cruiser or Magnum. Globalism won, and it didn’t feel right. All that brand equity that made kids want a Dodge went down the drain. How’s that working for ya, Dodge?

The good news is that Dodge will once again produce a Hemi Charger for 2026, but it will not be street-legal as it’s part of the serial Drag Pak racers for the drag strip. It is the first race car to be produced under the umbrella of the newly reestablished SRT Performance division, a promising development that aids in the faith. Officially, it’s known as the Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak by Direct Connection, and it will be powered by a supercharged 354ci Hemi V8. For you folks who lived it (or those well-versed in muscle car history), Hustle Stuff was Dodge’s branding of “in-house aftermarket equipment” for folks who wanted to modify their cars for drag racing, from the lowly 198ci “Slant Six” to the 426 Hemi.

The new Hustle Stuff drag car is constructed “with select carbon-fiber components” that makes this Charger 100 pounds lighter than the Challenger Drag Pak that preceded it. Like that car, the new Charger is powered by a supercharged 354ci Hemi V8 that helps it run sub-8-second ETs. Engine upgrades include a new Generation III aluminum Hemi block, new H-beam connecting rods, Diamond aluminum pistons, forged steel eight-counterweight crankshaft, and new lightweight billet supercharger belt tensioner, among other items (you can read about all the modifications on, ahem, Stellantis North America’s media website) Only 50 Dodge Charger Hustle Stuff Drag Pak by Direct Connection cars will be produced, all serialized. They will be race-prepped by Riley Technologies, a Mooresville, North Carolina-based shop that has a history of collaborating with SRT. The limited-production drag car is engineered for grassroots NHRA Sportsman drag racers, with each of the 50 race cars NHRA-approved for Factory Stock Showdown (FSS) competition.

For those of you headed to the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, we won’t be surprised if this Charger will be on display, perhaps in the Dick Landy-esque paint scheme showed here. However, if you’re planning on being one of the 50, you will have the ability to choose from classic hues like B5 Blue, Go Mango, Sublime, and the ever-popular Plum Crazy (just like the old days . . . if the old days were two years ago), or newer classics like Frostbite and Sinamon Stick. Dodge also will offer optional graphic packages because, well, you know how faith manifests.

If you’re a modern guy or gal who loves the new Charger and are fine with going fast without the burble of a V8, then it’s worth mentioning that you now can officially place an order for a Sixpack-powered Dodge Charger Scat Pack four-door, which is claimed to be the most powerful sedan under $60,000. The Dodge Charger Scat Pack will be capable of 0-60 in 3.9 seconds thanks to a high-output 550-horsepower 3.0-liter, twin-turbo, inline-six Hurricane and standard all-wheel drive. Though 12.2 ETs pales in comparison to the Track Pak Charger’s, it bears mentioning the Sixpack is completely street-legal.

But, for now, keep the faith!
