This is the second fastest car that Toyota sells, just behind the Supra.

Happy Fourth of July, Roadshow readers! The week before the break was not a quiet one, especially as Ford prepares to finally reveal the 2021 Ford Bronco.
But our editors also kept busy driving lots of new cars. We first tested the second fastest car in the Toyota lineup, the 2021 RAV4 Prime.
Take a seat and let us explain everything you have missed this week.
Here is the best of the best from June 28 to July 4.
The best comments
There’s a new plug-in SUV in town, and it comes from Toyota. The 2021 RAV4 Prime has a fairly large range rating, and it’s really fast. It was enough to bring a surprise factor to the segment, according to comment editor Craig Cole.

Editor-in-chief Steve Ewing slipped behind the wheel of the 2020 Ferrari F8, and while not a fan of the face of this sports car, he found it a charming car with plenty of power to enjoy.

Ewing also drove something a little less … let’s say wild. The 2020 Encore GX looks like a good sweet spot in Buick’s lineup, but a bustling engine and lack of value didn’t make him an absolute winner in his eyes.

The most important news
- Ford Bronco teasers galore: The Blue Oval is clearly excited to finally show off its reborn off-road SUV. We have put together all the progress so far.
- Tesla surprises: The electric car maker beat estimates and said it delivered just over 90,000 cars in the second quarter. That’s lower than Q1, but the Tesla factory in California also closed for quite some time amid the coronavirus pandemic.
- Where’s the CX-5 diesel?: Mazda’s diesel crossover has yet to be unveiled for 2020, and perhaps it could be a one-of-a-kind deal.
- Dodge displays 8,950 horsepower: The brand’s line of new muscle cars is here, led by the Challenger Super Stock and a year-old Dodge Durango Hellcat.
- Lincolns says goodbye to the Continental: The luxury sedan will die later this year without replacement. Instead, the luxury brand will focus on SUVs. Disgusting surprise.
- Subscribe to luxury at BMW: The German brand will launch new services that basically allow subscribing to functions. For example, you could only get heated seats for a few months, if you want. It is quite a controversial decision.
