Write What You Don't Know
Write what you know!\" Everyone who has ever picked up a pen and tried their hand at words, ideas, and stories has heard that one. It's something like the Second Commandment of writing. Between \"Don't forget to write your name,\" and \"Don't steal others' work.\"

Mia P. Manansala
Much like Lila Macapagal, protagonist of the Tita Rosie’ Kitchen Mystery series, author Mia P. Manansala has had a very busy few years. Since her first novel (and first book in the series), Arsenic and Adobo, was published in 2021, Manansala has written and published five additional books in the series, released her first YA novel, and written a second, forthcoming YA novel. And like her protagonist, whose life changes dramatically over the course of the cozy mysteries, Manansala’s own life has changed significantly.

BMW M2
At this point, there's no denying it. We just can't get enough of the BMW 2 Series Coupe, especially the spicy M2. The regular 2 Coupe was a Car of the Year finalist in 2022, the M2 a finalist in 2023, and in 2024 we named the M2 our Performance Vehicle of the Year. Why is it back again, a record fourth time? Because BMW just keeps making it better.

Audi RS E-Tron GT
Audi has come a long way since the debut of its first E-Tron electric vehicle. Case in point: the 2026 RS E-Tron GT Performance. The four-door tourer is an electric-propelled rocket that delivers blistering acceleration at any speed, with a massive 912 horsepower emanating from its dual motors, aided particularly by its newly redesigned rear motor. The power is breathtaking.

Audi A5/S5
The smaller end of Audi's lineup is undergoing what's known in corporate parlance as a restructuring, shrinking from the A4 sedan, A5 coupe and convertible, and A5 Sportback (plus each one's sportier S version) to just one model: the A5 and the more powerful S5.

FORD'S EXCELLENT SMALL PICKUP EARNS OUR HIGHEST HONOR AT LAST
Are pickups becoming caricatures of their former selves? They seem to grow larger and heavier with each successive redesign to the point where you need staircase tailgates just to load them. Swimming against this tsunami is the wee Ford Maverick, a pickup that allows normal-sized human adults to reach in over the side rail and grab items off the bed floor without even standing on tippy-toes. The climb into the bed is manageable without steps, and many tailgate partiers may find their feet resting on the ground. Revolutionary.

Kia EV6
The automotive midcycle update can go in a lot of ways. Ideally, the automaker fixes any issues with the existing model and changes the styling in an agreeable way. Most of the time, the refreshed vehicle is at least a little better than the one it replaces, but there's no guarantee. For the EV6, though, that's exactly what it is.
