Editor-at-large @thesmokingtire recently took out a 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport to explore the best roads Idaho has to offer. "When seeking the finest driving roads, it helps to have a strategy for where best to look. Tracts along and around mountain ranges are generally a good place to start browsing, as are areas with lots of lakes and rivers. Following this to its logical conclusion, where might we find the best of the best in driving roads? Around dams."
Following this hypothesis, Farah's trip started at the Dworshak Dam, where he was behind the wheel of the revived Corvette Grand Sport. "Along with all base-model variants for ’27, the Grand Sport gets the new LS6 engine, a pushrod 6.7-liter V-8 cranking out 535 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque—a healthy bump of 40 horses and 50 lb-ft over the old 6.2-liter LT2’s maximums, with a more guttural auditory accompaniment one might expect as a side order to the extra displacement."

With a chairman like Akio Toyoda, it's not exactly surprising that Toyota has invested significant time and money into improving the enthusiast market with models like the GR Corolla and GR86. At Toyota's Gazoo Racing Garage outside Dallas, Texas, a replica of chairman Toyoda's personal garage in Japan reveals just how committed the executive is to motorsport excellence. An active GR Corolla rally car and Toyoda's lifted GR86 collide with a genuine Toyota Celica WRC car driven by Carlos Sainz Sr. and Luis Moya. Which of these cars would you take for a rip?

Scion lived a short life, the victim of bad financial timing and millennial misunderstandings. But its parent company, Toyota, is about to give the brand another go—and its market research appears to be spot-on this time, as the Japanese automaker announces a new three-cylinder Kei truck for the U.S. market. Are you looking forward to seeing Toyota officially bring Kei trucks to America?
