I climbed into the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas for the first time full of optimism. My wife and I own a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan and we love it. It’s a great little family car with some of the best steering and balance I’ve ever felt in a crossover. It’s my wife’s daily driver but I’m happy whenever I get to drive it. So when it came time to drive the Atlas, I was pretty confident I would like it. Right up until I turned the steering wheel and made a face like I just smelled moldy garbage.

Guenther Steiner, the most meme-worthyFormula 1 team principal, was let go by Haas F1 at the end of last season. Despite being among the most famous F1 team bosses, Haas decided not to renew his contract for the 2024 season. However, Steiner is now suing his former team, not for being fired but because Haas allegedly hasn't paid him.
The Castrol livery is hands-down one of the most iconic racing liveries of the 1990s. From the JGTC Supra to WRC Celica, it's widely remembered for appearing on some of the decade's most dominant Toyotas—and then again in games likeGran Turismo. But the design is about to go in a new direction, as the classic livery is returning in an unexpected way. It's coming to NASCAR, where it'll adorn a Ford Mustang of all things, like a Trading Paints masterpiece you'd never think to see outside iRacing.
In spite of the car industry as a whole cutting back on liters and cylinders in the name of electrified efficiency, Aston Martin is still out here representing staunch enthusiasts of internal combustion and has announced it is introducing a new V12 engine in 2024. In other real, totally not made-up news: Apple is working on a new typewriter.
