The average motorist doesn’t care about downforce, heritage, horsepower or off-road capacity. To most, a car is a car like a fridge is a fridge. There are times when, for a plethora of reasons, a car successfully makes the leap from a basic mode of transportation to a passion and, sometimes, a cultural icon. You’ll recognize them when you’re out and about: owners wave at each other, flash their lights, stop to chat, and will pull over to help when you have a breakdown. Here are some of the cars that have achieved cult status around the world and a few
Yet for this relatively trifling sum there's a vast array of great cars within reach, including sports cars, family hacks, luxury saloons and the odd 4x4.

BMW’s Skytop Concept car is ready for homologation and could be built in very small numbers with deliveries as soon as next year, according to company bosses. The 8 Series-based car was officially revealed at Villa d’Este on May 24 and uses the M8’s 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8, tuned for 635hp. It is inspired by the Z8 and has several design nods to the 2000s car.
Implying its outright track ability, Volkswagen has unveiled the all-new GTI Clubsport ahead of the 24h Nürburgring and it aims squarely at Honda’s FWD Type R which holds the record at the hallowed German circuit.
Mahindra, a leading automotive company in India, has reported outstanding sales results for May 2024. Apart from the new XUV3XO, the company’s UV lineup also includes the Scorpio N, Scorpio Classic, Thar, XUV700, XUV300, XUV400, Bolero and Bolero Neo.
When we last tested a Chevrolet Malibu, the 2019 sedan in RS trim, we ended our First Drive with, «If Chevy wants to keep selling Malibus a few years on, it's going to need more than a revised grille and some exhaust tips — or a shady plot in the graveyard of runner-up sedans, next to the Fusion, awaits.» We got the timing wrong. In 2024, the Malibu still shows up on the Cars page of Chevrolet's retail web site — the only car. The fate, however, was inevitable. At the beginning of this month, The Detroit News reported that the page will soon be empty, GM having made the decision to send the Malibu to meet the Grim Reaper this fall. The move comes despite the Malibu being the third-best-selling vehicle in the Chevrolet roster last year, outdone only by the Silverado and Equinox. Looking to the future, GM needs to get the Fairfax Assembly plant that builds the sedan ready to build the all-new Chevrolet Bolt.
