S2000 CR Delete Appears for $75K. Deal or No Deal?

43k-Mile S2000 CR Delete Hitting $75K: Market Correction or Nostalgia Tax

A low-mileage S2000 CR Delete—the stripped, naturally aspirated variant that never got enough respect—is asking $75K. Clean examples are vanishing fast, but this pricing assumes you're willing to pay peak enthusiasm money for a car that spent years as the forgotten sibling to the base model.

S2000 values finally peaked. This one's asking the right price if it's garage-kept and unmolested; asking too much if the owner thinks "CR Delete" is a flex.

The concerns emerging for Newey’s Aston-Honda F1 superteam already

Newey's Aston-Honda F1 project is already showing cracks before it starts

Adrian Newey's much-hyped move to Aston Martin with Honda's return to F1 is hitting early turbulence—the kind that suggests Lawrence Stroll's checkbook might not fix fundamental coordination problems between a heritage British marque and a Japanese manufacturer learning F1 again. Technical delays, organizational friction, and the reality that even genius-level engineering can't overcome poor execution are already surfacing.

Newey doesn't build cars in a vacuum—he needs a team that can actually execute, and Aston Martin's track record suggests they'll find new ways to disappoint.

Mugen Made The Honda Prelude Sharper, Louder, And Nearly Impossible To Buy

Mugen's Prelude Spec.III Kit Is Retro Styling For People Who Actually Remember The Original

Honda's hybrid Prelude got the Mugen treatment—a limited tuning package that layers retro visual callbacks onto modern underpinnings. The spec sheet promises sharper lines and a louder exhaust note, but availability is so restricted you'll spend more time finding one than driving it.

Mugen kits are heritage tax. You're paying for the Mugen badge and the nostalgia, not engineering that moves the needle on a hybrid coupe that already drives fine.

2027 Kia Telluride Price Starts At $39,190, Tops Out Over $56,000

2027 Kia Telluride Still Undercuts Pilot and Grand Highlander—But For How Long

Kia's keeping the Telluride pricing aggressive: $39,190 to $56,000 for the three-row. The real story isn't the starting number—it's that Kia's willing to eat margin on family haulers while Honda and Toyota play portfolio math. Base model gets the 3.8L V6; top trims add the amenities that actually move units.

The Telluride's value proposition won't last once supply stabilizes and Kia needs profitability more than market share.

Honda Passport Sales Are on Fire, TrailSport Accounts for 80%

Honda Passport TrailSport is selling faster than Honda can build them—here's why that matters

The 2025 Passport just posted its best year ever, with the TrailSport trim accounting for 80% of sales. Honda's finally figured out that people want a real SUV with actual off-road geometry, not another crossover with plastic cladding. The market's correcting itself.

The Passport's success isn't about nostalgia—it's proof that enthusiasts will pay for honest design when the alternative is another bloated CUV with fake skid plates.

62 BaT Auctions Closing Today

62 BaT Lots Closing Today: 2.9L Carrera RS, 512 TR, and the Truck Renaissance

Today's Bring a Trailer slate spans the full spectrum—from air-cooled 911s to family-kept '51 GMC pickups to a fresh 992 GT3 RS still wearing dealer plates. The trucks are the real story here: vintage F-250s and Dodges are moving on no reserve, a sign the market finally remembers that 1970s iron holds its own against euro exotica. One eye on the Ferrari 512 TR; Euro cars from that era are getting their due.

BaT's truck presence has quietly become the most honest meter of collector priorities—when 45-year-family-owned pickups outsell hype cycles, the market's telling you something real.

Debate settled: We name every car maker's best model of all time

Every manufacturer's peak, ranked—and yes, the arguments are worse than you'd think

Autocar's staff went to war over which model defined each marque. From the MG ZT-T 260's sleeper credibility to whether a 911 variant beats the 356, they're parsing the real difference between good and generational. The gap between what journalists remember and what the market actually values keeps widening.

Ranking 'best ever' by brand is content comfort food—safe, divisive, and missing the point. The real story isn't the pick, it's that half these manufacturers peaked 15 years ago and everyone knows it.

I did the longest motorcycle road trip of my life on my Honda CB350 RS!

CB350 RS isn't a bike for conquering—it's for understanding what you actually need

The CB350 RS has quietly become the thinking person's retro, and this long-distance run proves why. Modern enough to be reliable, analog enough to demand your attention, and cheap enough that you're not financing someone else's lifestyle. Turns out the real adventure isn't the miles—it's realizing a 350cc parallel-twin that weighs nothing teaches you more about riding than any liter bike ever could.

The CB350 RS is doing what retros are supposed to do: make you question why anyone needs more. Values staying flat because it's not about the spec sheet.
