2024 Porsche Macan Electric First Drive Review: The revolution begins
NICE, France — We expect evolutionary changes when a new Porsche comes out; the new Panamera is more of an update of its predecessor than a fresh start, for example. Unveiled earlier this year, the second-generation, 2024 Porsche Macan defies this trend. It all starts under the hood: There’s a frunk there instead of an engine.

Close to the ground and pretty to behold, lowriders get museum honors
Lowriders — and we don't mean low-rise jeans — are custom cars that cruise low to the ground, and so slowly, so that onlookers can get a good view of the paint job, the fantastic suspension, and most importantly the driver showing off his or her good looks.
