Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica brings style to daily driving
The Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica uses a familiar Stellantis platform, but it manages to feel different through its design. With compact crossover proportions, Italian red paint, muscular details, and a front end inspired by Alfa Romeo history, it has more visual character than many of its close relatives. Inside, the cabin mixes practical Stellantis controls with Alfa touches like Alcantara trim and sporty seats. The physical climate buttons are easy to use, but some materials, especially piano black surfaces and hard plastics in the rear, feel less impressive. On the road, the Junior Elettrica works best as a city car. It has light steering, easy parking manners, good front visibility, and quick electric response at everyday speeds. It is not the most practical family EV, and the rear seats are a clear weakness, but for daily urban driving with strong style, the standard electric version may be the most sensible Junior to choose.

He rebuilt a 200,000-mile Land Cruiser - and found a huge problem
We spend four days rebuilding the heart of a high-mileage Toyota Land Cruiser, replacing the transfer case, front and rear differentials, axle shafts, bearings, seals, gears, and manual locking hubs to restore its four-wheel-drive system. With upgraded components throughout the drivetrain, the legendary 80 Series is almost ready for some of America's toughest off-road trails. But just when everything seems complete, one final mystery keeps the four-wheel-drive system from working as planned, setting the stage for the next chapter of the build.
