Toyota FT-1 Concept
The Toyota FT-1 Concept originally debuted at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, previewing a potential reborn Supra. The example displayed here is the second iteration of the concept, known as the Toyota FT-1 Graphite; the first iteration came in a shade of red. Under the hood of the FT-1 is a hybridized inline-four; otherwise, not too many important details were given. This car was designed by the crew at the CALTY Design Center in southern California. I think the Toyota FT-1 a very impressive concept and should hit production sooner than later.

Bentley Flying Spur (2014-)
When the current-gen Flying Spur debuted for the 2014 model year, Bentley decided to drop the "Continental" name from it, even though it remains a Continental GT with an extra set of doors. The Bentley Flying Spur has the same engine options as the base Continental GT and Continental GT V8. However, the Flying Spur isn't quite as fast or as performance-oriented as the Continental GT. I think the Flying Spur is a wonderful car, but I don't find it as appealing as a Rolls-Royce Ghost or Phantom. All the examples above are W12 models.

1967-1972 Chevy C10 Pickup
There aren't usually a lot of trucks on this website, but I have decided to spice things up a bit. There have been multiple versions of this truck, carrying names such as C10, K10, Silverado, Cheyenne, Custom Deluxe, and Fleetside. Engine options consist of mainly small- and large-displacement V8s. Most of the examples above have unoriginal, modified powerplants. I believe the 1967-1972 Chevy Pickup was only offered as a single cab. Expect overall fuel economy to be less than 10 mpg. In general, regular-cab pickups aren't as popular as they were back in the day because they aren't as practical and, in some cases, stylish as extended- and crew-cab pickups. Also, I personally would rather be driving an extended-cab or crew cab pickup. Lastly, the Chevy/GMC pickup from 1967-1972 is the best truck from that era, according to me.
