But like everyone else, we’re ready to turn the page on 2020 here at the Gear Patrol motoring desk. Here are 11 cars we can’t wait to drive (and will finally get a chance to) in 2021.
2021 BMW M3 / M4
BMW
BMW’s quintessential performance car keeps the manual transmission as an option. That unsightly kidney grille, alas, is mandatory.
The CT5-V proved to be a great driver’s car. But the CT5-V Blackwing — thanks to the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 from the CTS-V and a manual gearbox — should be a proper “V” car.
The new GMC Hummer EV defies belief. It will be as quick off the line as a Porsche, more capable off-road than a Jeep Wrangler, and offer better range than the Hummer H2…all while not using a drop of gasoline.
At long last, Jeep will launch its new full-size flagship SUV in 2021. It eschews the wood trim from the classic Grand Wagoneer for luxury finishes. Running on the Ram 1500’s platform, it should deliver an excellent ride.
Nissan’s long-awaited replacement for the 370Z should be more powerful than the Toyota Supra, cheaper than the Supra — and have the manual transmission the Supra lacks.
We’ve tested the Porsche 911 Carrera and Turbo models. Next comes the GT3. Reportedly, Porsche will give the enthusiasts what they want: a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six and a six-speed manual.
Subaru stuck to the rear-wheel-drive, manual transmission, naturally-aspirated formula for the new second-generation BRZ. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.
