You are looking at the new flagship Bentley, the Bentley Mulsanne with a price tag near $300,000. Announced at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on August 16th, the Mulsanne is scheduled to begin delivery to the chosen few in mid 2010. Purchasers of this vehicle will be able to customize every aspect of their Mulsanne, including well over 100 color choices, numerous interior materials, and nearly 200 man hours of interior finishing. It’s no surprise that the Mulsanne follows in the footsteps of all other Bentleys with massive power. A 6.75 liter twin-turbo V8 sits under the hood, pumping out over 500 horsepower and 750 foot-pounds of torque. A car of this caliber is usually reserved for those with a full time driver, but these specs just might persuade even the most comfortably chauffeured passenger to take the wheel.

Mercedes-Benz G580 first drive: old-school off-roader goes electric

2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

American car buyers mostly know Mercedes-Benz as a luxury brand. But for decades, the automaker has also produced the tough, rugged G-Class (also known as the Geländewagen or G-Wagen), an SUV not afraid to get its leather upholstery muddy. And now, this iconic Mercedes is going electric.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology — the final name of the SUV previously known as the EQG — isn’t the first electric off-roader. The Rivian R1S and R1T and GMC Hummer EV have proven that electric powertrains and off-roading are a great combination. But the electric G-Wagen is different because it’s based on an internal-combustion model — and a very traditional one at that.

The Onn. Dual Dash Cam, installed in a vehicle.

Owning a dash cam is like owning a second or third set of eyes for the road. While these devices can be a bit expensive, they’re worth their weight in gold. Not only will a dash cam provide critical footage of any accidents that may occur, but they’re also great deterrents for would-be malcontents who may want to break into your car.

Like most automotive tech, there’s no shortage of front and rear dash cams to choose from. But when there’s a lot of one thing, shopping can become quite the challenge. That’s why we’ve put together this roundup of our five favorite models.
