In a celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, TIME Magazine teamed up with Statista to create a ranking of the 250 most iconic American companies — organizations that have shaped not just the economy, but the cultural fabric of the nation itself. At the very top of that list sits an unmistakable symbol of American innovation and enterprise: Ford Motor Company.
Ford’s position as the #1 most iconic American company isn’t just about market share or sales figures — it’s about cultural impact, historical influence, and the role the brand has played in shaping the way Americans live, work, and move.
Founded in 1903 by Henry Ford, Ford Motor Company transformed manufacturing forever. Its introduction of the moving assembly line brought down production costs and made automobiles accessible to ordinary Americans, not just the wealthy elite. This wasn’t merely a business breakthrough — it was a social one. By making cars affordable and reliable, Ford helped redefine American life, enabling freedom of movement, expanding suburbs, and fueling the growth of commerce nationwide.
Today, that legacy still resonates. TIME’s ranking highlights Ford’s influence not just historically, but in the present as it continues to innovate in areas like electric and autonomous vehicles — a testament to its enduring relevance and adaptability in a rapidly changing world.
The TIME and Statista methodology wasn’t based solely on financial success. To be considered “iconic,” companies had to demonstrate:
Ford exemplifies each of these traits. From the Model T — often credited with putting the world on wheels — to the F-Series trucks that have become staples in American life, Ford’s products have woven themselves into everyday experience. Its innovations aren’t just engineering feats; they’ve become cultural touchstones.
While Ford’s roots are deeply historical, its future focus shows a company eager to evolve. Embracing electric vehicle technology and exploring autonomous systems, Ford is striking a balance between honoring its legacy and leading into the next chapter of mobility. TIME’s profile highlights how the company aims to keep making vehicles that matter to everyday people — a modern embodiment of Henry Ford’s original vision.
Being named America’s most iconic company isn’t just a title — it’s recognition of a story that parallels the nation’s own. Ford has stood through economic shifts, global competition, and technological revolutions, yet it remains emblematic of American ingenuity, resilience, and spirit.
For many, the Ford name doesn’t just represent cars — it represents freedom of movement, innovation that transforms lives, and a distinctly American identity. In earning this honor from TIME, Ford isn’t just celebrating its past — it’s reaffirming its place in the country’s ongoing narrative.
At Toyota, racing isn’t just about trophies, lap times, or bragging rights. It’s about building better cars—period. And at the heart of that belief is TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (GR), a motorsports program born not in a boardroom, but on the racetrack, shaped by grit, failure, learning, and an unshakable passion for driving.
The story begins with Akio Toyoda, grandson of Toyota founder Kiichiro Toyoda, and a man who never saw cars as just appliances. Long before he became Toyota’s global leader, Akio was a genuine car enthusiast—drawn to the adrenaline, challenge, and honesty of motorsports. That passion would collide with the wisdom of Hiromu Naruse, a legendary Toyota test driver whose influence would change the company forever.
Naruse believed something radical yet simple: racing is the ultimate proving ground for both cars and people. He once told Akio bluntly that someone who didn’t truly understand driving had no business commenting on cars. Rather than taking offense, Akio took the challenge.
Naruse offered to teach him how to drive—properly. Through countless hours behind the wheel, including rigorous testing at the Nürburgring, Akio began to understand what performance really meant. Not just speed, but balance, durability, feedback, and trust between driver and machine.
The Nürburgring, often called the world’s toughest racetrack, became central to this philosophy. It wasn’t just a place to test vehicles to their limits—it was a place to develop engineers, drivers, and teams. Cars broke. Mistakes happened. Lessons stuck. From this partnership between Naruse and Akio, the core philosophy of the GR brand was born: refine people and cars through racing.
In 2007, that philosophy became reality. Akio Toyoda entered the 24 Hours of Nürburgring endurance race—one of the most demanding motorsports events on the planet. To race freely and learn without the weight of his title, he competed under a pseudonym: Morizo.
The goal wasn’t to win. It was to learn.
The team faced plenty of obstacles. They raced discontinued models like the fourth-generation Supra and Altezza RS200, while competitors showed up with near-future production cars. But the brutal conditions of the race forced the team to listen to the cars—how they behaved, where they failed, and what needed improvement.
That experience ignited something inside Toyota. Racing was no longer a side activity. It became a catalyst for innovation and a spark that reawakened excitement throughout the company. GAZOO Racing was officially underway.
As GAZOO Racing gained experience, the feedback from endurance racing began flowing directly into production vehicles. Cars like the Toyota 86 benefited from lessons learned under real racing pressure—where weaknesses can’t hide.
One of the most powerful examples is the Lexus LFA. Before its official release in 2009, the LFA underwent two full years of testing at the Nürburgring 24 Hours. In 2010, two LFAs competed again, holding their own against full-fledged race cars. One secured GAZOO Racing’s first-class win, while the other suffered severe engine trouble—but instead of quitting, the team replaced the engine mid-event and sent it back out.
That kind of experience can’t be replicated in a lab. It taught the team how cars fail, how teams respond, and how designs can be improved to survive the extreme. Those lessons fed directly back into Toyota’s engineering culture.
By 2014, GAZOO Racing achieved a major milestone—winning every class it entered. The racing success of the 86 led to the creation of the limited-edition 86 GRMN, a clear signal that Toyota was serious about reclaiming its performance heritage.
The journey didn’t slow down. Lexus models like the RC and later the LC continued to race at Nürburgring, gathering valuable data even when results were mixed. In 2019, GAZOO Racing brought back a name that meant everything to enthusiasts: the Supra.
The GR Supra completed the Nürburgring 24 Hours and earned third place in its class. The Lexus LC struggled with unexpected issues—but those struggles were just as valuable. Racing isn’t about perfection. It’s about learning faster than everyone else.
That year’s race held special meaning for Akio. It fell on the anniversary of Naruse’s passing. As Morizo drove the revived Supra, he reflected on the mentor who had taught him what driving—and responsibility—really meant.
At its core, GAZOO Racing embodies kaizen, the Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement. Every race is a lesson. Every mistake is data. Every success is temporary fuel to push harder next time.
This mindset extends beyond cars to people. Racing develops engineers, mechanics, and drivers by forcing them to adapt, collaborate, and solve problems under pressure. Knowledge is passed down, refined, and preserved—much like the ancient Japanese tradition of rebuilding the Ise Grand Shrine every 20 years to transfer skills across generations.
Akio once compared sports car development to this ritual, emphasizing that even in difficult times, it’s essential to continue building for the future rather than abandoning craftsmanship.
In 2025, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing returned to the Nürburgring 24 Hours with the GR Yaris and a new team, continuing a journey that started nearly two decades earlier. But the mission remains unchanged.
GR isn’t about racing for racing’s sake. It’s about ensuring that future generations can experience cars that are fun, emotional, and alive. Cars that reflect human passion—not just efficiency charts.
GAZOO Racing’s success proves that motorsports isn’t separate from everyday cars. It’s the forge where better cars—and better people—are made.
As Akio Toyoda puts it: “Refining people and cars, thereby contributing to the making of ever-better cars—that’s always been a constant.”
And that constant is exactly what makes Toyota’s cars better, lap after lap.
When Car and Driver drops its annual 10Best list, the automotive world pays attention. After weeks of intense testing, comparison drives, and editor debates, only 10 vehicles per category make the cut. For 2026, Chevrolet didn’t just show up—it showed out.
Three very different Chevy nameplates earned 10Best honors this year: the legendary Corvette, the smart and affordable Trax, and the massively capable Tahoe/Suburban. Different segments, different price points, same result: best in class.
The Chevrolet Corvette continues to be one of the most decorated vehicles in Car and Driver history. For 2026, both the Corvette Stingray and Corvette E-Ray landed on the 10Best Cars list, marking the 10th consecutive year a Corvette model has earned the honor.
That’s not just impressive—that’s historic. Overall, the Corvette has now racked up 27 10Best wins over the award’s 43-year history.
Editors once again praised the Corvette for delivering world-class performance at a price that undercuts many of its exotic competitors. The E-Ray’s electrified all-wheel-drive setup adds another layer of capability, proving the Corvette formula can evolve without losing its soul.
At the opposite end of the spectrum sits the Chevrolet Trax, which continues its run on the 10Best Trucks and SUVs list. Redesigned for the 2024 model year, the Trax made waves by delivering standout design, interior space, and refinement—without the premium price tag.
Starting at $21,900, the Trax earned praise from Car and Driver editors for its:
It first cracked the 10Best list in 2024, and defending that title for 2026 proves Chevy’s smallest SUV is doing something very right.
Rounding out Chevrolet’s 10Best sweep are the Tahoe and Suburban, which earned spots on the 2026 10Best Trucks and SUVs list following significant updates.
These full-size SUVs impressed editors with their:
Few vehicles can balance size, comfort, technology, and real-world utility the way the Tahoe and Suburban do—and Car and Driver took notice.
From a mid-engine sports car to an entry-level SUV to full-size family haulers, Chevrolet’s 2026 10Best wins highlight something important: excellence doesn’t live in just one corner of the lineup. Whether you’re chasing lap times, stretching your budget, or packing up the whole crew, Chevy has a vehicle that’s officially among the best you can buy. And when Car and Driver says you’re 10Best? That’s about as real as it gets.
Jeep is giving Gladiator fans something they’ve been asking for—whether they realized it or not. For the first time ever, the iconic Sahara trim is joining the Jeep Gladiator lineup, bringing a new balance of rugged capability and everyday comfort to the midsize pickup.
Announced December 19, 2025, from Auburn Hills, Michigan, the 2026 Jeep Gladiator Sahara builds on a nameplate that’s been part of Jeep history since 1988. And just like it has on the Wrangler for decades, Sahara on the Gladiator is all about blending trail-ready confidence with premium, livable features.
Visually, the Gladiator Sahara leans into a cleaner, more upscale aesthetic without losing its Jeep DNA. Body-color fender flares and a body-color three-piece hardtop give it a more cohesive, polished appearance, while standard LED headlamps and fog lamps modernize the front end.
Rolling stock comes in the form of 18-inch aluminum wheels paired with all-season tires, making the Sahara equally comfortable on pavement or light trails. For buyers who plan to spend more time off-road, Jeep is offering a no-cost upgrade to all-terrain tires (available later), which is a nice touch—and an easy win for value-conscious shoppers.
Inside, the Gladiator Sahara steps things up in a big way. The cabin features premium McKinley leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel—features that make daily driving and cold-weather commutes far more pleasant.
Technology is front and center as well, with a 7-inch digital driver cluster and Jeep’s 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Remote start, remote keyless entry, and modern connectivity features round out an interior that feels far more “daily driver” than “bare-bones pickup.”
One of the most compelling parts of the Gladiator Sahara story is the pricing. Starting at $47,125 (excluding the $1,995 destination charge), the Sahara includes $4,685 worth of content from a typically equipped Gladiator Sport S—for just a $2,210 MSRP increase. That works out to a 53% value add, which is impressive in today’s truck market. In other words, you’re getting a lot more comfort, style, and tech without a massive jump in price.
The Gladiator Sahara feels like it’s aimed squarely at buyers who love Jeep capability but don’t necessarily want the hardcore, trail-only focus of trims like Rubicon. It’s for drivers who want a truck that looks great in the driveway, feels comfortable on a long road trip, and can still handle dirt roads, snow, and weekend adventures without breaking a sweat.
The 2026 Jeep Gladiator Sahara is available to order now, with builds live at Jeep.com and availability at local Jeep dealers. If you’ve ever thought, “I want a Gladiator, but just a bit more polished,” Jeep just built your trim.
The 2026 Honda Prelude is officially back — and it’s turning heads. After a 25-year hiatus, Honda has revived this iconic sports coupe with hybrid power, upgraded performance hardware, and cutting-edge tech that blend nostalgia with modern capability. Whether you’re a long-time Honda fan or new to the Prelude nameplate, the 2026 model delivers a fresh take on what makes Honda vehicles exciting.
The 2026 Honda Prelude marks a significant milestone for Honda vehicles, reimagining a beloved coupe for the era of electrification. Instead of the high-revving VTEC engines of the past, this generation uses a sophisticated two-motor hybrid powertrain that balances performance with efficiency.
Unlike traditional hybrids, the Prelude’s setup simulates gear shifts through Honda’s new S+ Shift system — complete with paddle shifters and virtual rev-matched downshifts to bring excitement back to hybrid driving.
Though labeled as a grand touring coupe, the 2026 Prelude borrows some serious performance DNA from the Honda Civic Type R:
This mix of advanced suspension and braking hardware — tuned specifically for the Prelude — elevates it above average hybrids while keeping it comfortable for daily driving.
Visually, the 2026 Prelude delivers a sleek coupe silhouette with contemporary Honda design cues — flush door handles, LED lighting, and a slightly hatch-like rear for extra cargo versatility.
Inside, the driver-centric cabin combines premium comfort with the latest in connectivity:
The result is a cockpit that’s as tech-savvy as it is engaging — just what drivers expect from Honda vehicles today.
Honda has set the starting MSRP around $42,000 for the 2026 Prelude, positioning it between the Civic Hybrid and high-performance models in the Honda lineup. While exact U.S. availability was confirmed for late 2025 deliveries, the Prelude will be widely recognized as a 2026 model year offering.
For years, hardcore truck fans have been asking the same question: Why doesn’t the Ram Power Wagon get the Cummins diesel? Now there’s an answer, and it’s loud, torquey, and unapologetically overbuilt.
Ram has officially unveiled the 2027 Ram Power Wagon with the 6.7-liter Cummins High-Output turbo diesel, and it’s exactly what enthusiasts have been waiting for. This is the most off-road-capable full-size pickup on the market, now paired with the most legendary diesel engine in the heavy-duty segment.
At the heart of the new Power Wagon is the 6.7-liter Cummins HO inline-six, producing 430 horsepower and a best-in-class 1,075 lb.-ft. of torque. That torque figure alone puts it at the top of the diesel HD class, but the real story is how Ram has integrated that power into a truck built to leave pavement behind.
This marks the first time a Cummins diesel has ever been offered in a Power Wagon, expanding Ram’s halo truck lineup and answering one of the longest-running fan requests in the brand’s history.
Paired with the TorqueFlite HD eight-speed automatic transmission and a new 3.42 rear axle ratio, the setup delivers confident towing and strong low-end grunt, while also improving highway efficiency and reducing noise and vibration at speed.
Despite adding diesel muscle and serious towing capability, the Power Wagon hasn’t softened its off-road edge—far from it.
The 2027 Power Wagon with Cummins retains its title as the most off-road-capable full-size pickup, thanks to a long list of purpose-built hardware:
Out back, Ram’s class-exclusive five-link coil rear suspension replaces traditional leaf springs, improving ride quality and articulation while maintaining serious payload capability. For the first time ever, buyers can also option automatic-leveling rear air suspension, which keeps the truck level under load and even includes a bed-lowering mode for easier trailer hookup.
Overlanders and long-haul adventurers will appreciate the Power Wagon’s new endurance-focused upgrades. A 31-gallon fuel tank, combined with diesel efficiency, delivers an estimated 600 miles of driving range, making it ideal for remote travel where fuel stops are few and far between.
With 13.2 inches of ground clearance, a 26.1-degree approach angle, and 34-inch all-terrain tires, the Power Wagon is ready for rocky trails, deep ruts, and everything in between—straight from the factory.
The Cummins-powered Power Wagon isn’t just about trails—it’s also a legit workhorse.
Whether you’re hauling toys, equipment, or a camper into the backcountry, this Power Wagon is built to handle it.
Visually, the Power Wagon leans into its rugged identity with:
Inside, Ram delivers what may be the most premium interior in the heavy-duty segment. Buyers can choose everything from a heated cloth bench seat to heated and ventilated leather-trimmed buckets, with available features like:
The Power Wagon name dates all the way back to 1945, when it evolved from military-duty Dodge trucks into a civilian four-wheel-drive icon. Reintroduced in 2005, the Power Wagon has always represented the extreme end of factory off-road capability—and the 2027 model takes that legacy further than ever before.
The 2027 Ram Power Wagon with Cummins turbo diesel arrives in the second half of 2026, with a starting price of $88,470, including destination. For fans who’ve been asking for a diesel Power Wagon for years, this isn’t just another trim level—it’s the truck they’ve been waiting for.
Volkswagen is starting the new year with a big safety win. The 2026 Volkswagen Atlas and 2026 Atlas Cross Sport have both earned the 2025 TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the organization’s highest safety honor. Even better? This marks the third TOP SAFETY PICK award for the Atlas family since its redesign for the 2024 model year—clear proof that Volkswagen’s focus on safety is paying off.
IIHS continues to raise the bar, and the 2025 TOP SAFETY PICK+ criteria are tougher than ever. To qualify, vehicles must earn:
The 2026 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport check every one of these boxes.
Both models come standard with LED headlights that earned a good IIHS rating. These headlights also include Volkswagen’s Adaptive Front-lighting System, which swivels with steering input to help illuminate the road while cornering—especially useful on dark, winding roads.
Pedestrian safety is another standout. The standard front crash prevention system earned an acceptable rating in IIHS pedestrian testing, helping drivers detect and respond to people crossing or traveling alongside the vehicle.
Every 2026 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport includes Volkswagen IQ.DRIVE®, a suite of advanced driver assistance technologies designed to make daily driving easier and safer.
On the highway, IQ.DRIVE offers hands-on semi-automated capability with features like Travel Assist, lane centering, and a capacitive steering wheel. Around town, the system uses front and rear radar, a front camera, and multiple ultrasound sensors to monitor the vehicle’s surroundings.
Standard IQ.DRIVE features include:
Beyond IQ.DRIVE, the Atlas family adds even more standard and available safety tech, including Exit Warning and Light Assist (automatic high-beam control). Available features include Park Distance Control, Park Assist, a Head-up Display, Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control, Dynamic Road Sign Display, and Area View, which provides an overhead camera perspective for easier parking and maneuvering.
Safety doesn’t come at the expense of value. The 2026 Volkswagen Atlas starts at $39,310, while the Atlas Cross Sport starts at $38,300 (both with a $1,475 destination charge). For families and drivers who want space, style, and top-tier safety credentials, these midsize SUVs make a compelling case.
With another TOP SAFETY PICK+ honor under its belt, the Volkswagen Atlas family continues to prove that smart design, advanced technology, and strong safety performance can go hand in hand.
Ram didn’t tiptoe the TRX back into the world—it kicked the door off its hinges. The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX Bloodshot Night Edition arrives as the official launch model for the reborn TRX nameplate, and it’s about as subtle as a supercharger scream at full throttle. This isn’t a nostalgia remix or a softened comeback. It’s a bold reminder of what Street & Racing Technology (SRT) is all about: extreme performance, aggressive design, and zero apologies.
Visually, the Bloodshot Night Edition takes the already intimidating TRX and turns the intensity knob way past ten. The standout feature is its bespoke, hand-painted Blacktop finish in Diamond Black Crystal Pearl Coat, which gives the truck a deep, liquid darkness under the light. Cutting straight through that black is a Flame Red center stripe, sharp and deliberate, adding just the right amount of menace.
Along the sides, a unique splash graphic stretches from the front door through the bedside, blending seamlessly into the familiar TRX logo. It’s aggressive without being over-the-top—more “factory concept truck” than cartoon muscle. This is the kind of design that stops conversations at gas stations and makes standard TRXs look a little tame.
The attitude continues down to the wheels. Beadlock-capable wheels come standard, finished in Satin Black and paired with Satin Titanium beadlock rings. Sure, they look incredible—but they’re also a serious nod to off-road credibility. This isn’t just a truck for flexing under parking lot lights. It’s built to be driven hard, whether that’s across open desert or straight down a stretch of asphalt.
Inside, the Bloodshot Night Edition keeps things dark, focused, and intentionally special. You won’t find loud gimmicks or flashy distractions here. Instead, SRT went for detail-driven upgrades that reward a closer look.
Red-outlined TRX badging adds contrast without overwhelming the cabin, while a glass-encased TRX badge in the center console gives the interior a premium, almost collector-grade feel. One of the coolest touches is the carbon fiber trim, which integrates red anodized thread directly into the weave. It’s subtle, technical, and very on-brand for a truck that lives at the intersection of engineering and attitude.
Let’s be honest—this is why the TRX came back. Under the hood sits the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® HELLCAT V8, now producing an astonishing 777 horsepower and 680 lb.-ft. of torque for 2027. Those numbers don’t just lead the segment—they completely redefine it. This makes the TRX the most powerful production, street-legal, gas-powered half-ton pickup ever built.
And this isn’t some fragile, dyno-queen setup. The HELLCAT V8 has been engineered specifically for truck duty, designed to handle heat, load, and sustained abuse without flinching. Power delivery is exactly what you’d expect: instant, brutal, and wildly addictive. The supercharger whine is unmistakable, and the acceleration feels borderline absurd for something with this much ground clearance and capability.
Yet somehow, the TRX remains controllable. Credit a well-sorted drivetrain and suspension tuned to balance chaos with confidence. It’s the kind of truck that makes wide-open roads feel too short and off-road trails feel like proving grounds.
What really sets the Bloodshot Night Edition apart is its role in the bigger picture. This isn’t just another special trim—it’s the launch model for the renewed TRX lineup. Ram is planting a flag here, signaling loud and clear that SRT performance trucks are back and they’re not interested in easing their way in.
The Bloodshot Night Edition sets expectations sky-high, blending outrageous power with design details that feel intentional, premium, and purpose-built. It’s all show, sure—but it’s very much all go, too.
For Mopar fans, there’s no confusion here. The TRX didn’t return quietly, and it definitely didn’t return watered down. The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX Bloodshot Night Edition is aggressive, unapologetic, and overflowing with attitude—exactly the way an SRT truck should be.
Pricing will be announced closer to launch, but one thing’s already certain: the TRX is back, and it’s here to remind everyone who runs the performance truck game.
The Toyota 4Runner continues its sixth-generation run for 2026, and it’s more capable, refined, and adventure-ready than ever. Built for drivers who demand durability without giving up modern tech, the latest 4Runner delivers serious off-road credentials alongside everyday comfort.

The TRD Pro is tuned for high-speed off-road performance. It comes equipped with TRD-tuned FOX® QS3 adjustable shocks with rear remote reservoirs, a TRD performance air intake and exhaust, and 33-inch Toyo® tires on black 18-inch alloy wheels.
Inside, the TRD Pro features heated and ventilated SofTex® seats with technical camo inserts, available in Black or Cockpit Red.
The 2026 4Runner is built on Toyota’s TNGA-F body-on-frame platform, shared with the Tacoma, Tundra, Land Cruiser, and Sequoia.
High-strength steel, reinforced frame crossmembers, and aluminum upper-body components increase rigidity while reducing weight. The result is improved ride quality, durability, and handling.

The 2026 4Runner offers a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 pounds, making it well-suited for trailers, boats, and recreational gear.
Available towing tech includes a trailer brake controller, digital rearview mirror, and Trailer Back-Up Guide with Straight Path Assist. Blind Spot Monitoring can also detect when a trailer is attached and adjust alerts accordingly.
Toyota offers the 2026 4Runner in nine grades, from the well-equipped SR5 to the premium Platinum.
The SR5 includes LED lighting, an 8-inch touchscreen, a power rear window, Smart Key access, and multiple cup holders. TRD Sport models add a sport-tuned suspension, 20-inch wheels, a digital gauge cluster, and wireless charging. TRD Off-Road trims focus on trail capability with underbody protection, all-terrain tires, and off-road drive modes. Limited and Platinum grades emphasize comfort with leather seating, advanced displays, premium audio, and luxury-focused features.
Inside the cabin, the 4Runner offers either an 8-inch or available 14-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster is standard on i-FORCE MAX models. USB-C charging ports and available Qi wireless charging are placed throughout the cabin.
