The 4 Cars We're Loving for Future Drives

Here are the vehicles that caught our eye and have us excited for a test drive.

A VOLKSWAGEN ID. BUZZ

Aside from some Easter eggs, the ID. Buzz also features quite a few nods to the original VW Microbus. At the front fascia, you'll notice the same oversize Volkswagen insignia. Moving toward the back, it keeps the same vents that would've provided ventilation for the original air-cooled engine-only these are now more of a design exercise, not functional. We won't get this exact vehicle in the United States. Rather, we'll be getting a long-wheelbase variant in 2024.

Why Orange Cats Exist

GARFIELD MIGHT BE THE MOST ICONIC orange tabby cat around, but he has so far refused to give up orange tabbies' most guarded beauty secret-how do they get their auburn coats?
