Plymouth Prowler Trailers Are Surprisingly Cheap
Looking for a quirky way to augment your '90s regalia? How about one of these custom utility trailers built for (and authorized by) Plymouth to accompany its quirkiest production car, the hot-rod-inspired Prowler. You don't even need a Plymouth to haul one of these suckers; it's a trailer like any other, and even offers power brakes. And one of them could be yours for less than you might think, judging by what we're seeing on Bring a Trailer. Bring a Trailer
Plymouth didn't sell a whole lot of Prowlers, and its companion trailers were rarer still. Manufactured for Chrysler Corporation by Ajax Trailers (in Warren, not far from the mothership in Auburn Hills), they're surprisingly sophisticated little things. The trunk lid comes with gas struts, and the interior is lined with grey fabric, which is fancier than some actual trunks from the late 1990s.
Not surprisingly, there's a reasonable amount of style to go with its substance. The Prowler was all about making a scene, after all, and the trailer doesn't disappoint. The chrome wheels fit the aesthetic perfectly. This one even comes with a black vinyl protector for the paint job. It doesn't look amazing when installed, but that's a small price to pay to prevent the inevitable rock chips.
Based on this previous listing, they're reasonably useful little things. It can carry 615 pounds (which would probably be tough to hit unless you're trying to stack bags of Quickcrete in there). It also notes that only about 1,400 were produced, making the nearly-$5,000 price tag pretty easy to digest.
While you'd certainly get bonus points for pairing this with a Prowler, it would look right at home behind a few of the little roadsters' contemporaries. The PT Cruiser was rated to tow up to 1,000 pounds for some model years—precisely the same as the little Ajax trailer's gross vehicle weight rating. But if you're hoping for something a little less… stigmatized, there's always the Chevy SSR.

The Next Supra Will Actually Be A Toyota Rather Than A Reskinned BMW
The fifth-generation A90 Toyota Supra has been a pretty curious vehicle since it went on sale for the 2020 model year. At first, folks were excited to be getting a new Supra at all, considering the fact that Toyota discontinued the U.S. model back in 1998. Pretty quickly, though, folks realized it was pretty much just a G29 BMW Z4 with a different body on top. Its engine options, transmissions and running gear were pretty much identical to the Z4. Now, Toyota is said to be rectifying this slight oversight with its next-generation GR Supra. The sixth-generation model is expected to come around sometime in 2027, and it's going to be powered by a Toyota-built turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four hybrid that is said to put out around 400 horsepower, according to a Best Car report reviewed by Forbes. Right now, the GR Supra uses a BMW B48 inline-four and a B58 inline-six. Granted, these are both very good motors, but they're sort of inauthentic when it comes to a Toyota sports car. Read more: Cheap-Feeling, Underpowered, Or Just Ugly, These Cars Don't Justify Their Price More Than An Engine Engines aren't the only difference between the A90 and whatever comes next for Gazoo Racing. Best Car says it will sit on a rear-wheel-drive platform. There's no word on whether this will be an all-new platform for the automaker or if it'll take an existing one from Lexus. One thing is for sure: it won't be shared with the Z4. That being said, there still might be some sharing among automakers. While it's likely the next Supra will get that aforementioned inline-four, Forbes says it's possible Toyota is testing a Supra prototype fitted with Mazda's turbocharged 3.3-liter inline-six mild-hybrid powertrain found in the CX-70 and CX-90 crossover. In those applications, it makes 340 hp and 369 pound-feet of torque. If I had to guess, it would be tuned to put out a bit more power than that in a possible next-gen Supra. Since the Supra went on sale back in 2019, it has been a bit of a sales success compared to its more expensive, convertible brother — selling over 24,000 units compared to the Z4's 13,000. I know for the most part that people dig the Supra, but it always just felt inauthentic to me. Sure, on paper, the B48 and B58 are probably better than Toyota's equivalent engines, and it's probably the same story with the car's platform, but I don't know. If I'm buying a Toyota, I want a Toyota. It seems the automaker has realized this issue and is working to fix it. Want more like this?

Why Garret Motion Stock Triumphed on Thursday
Key Points Management's raised guidance for the entirety of 2025 didn't hurt, either. It increased its forecasts for both sales and headline net income. 10 stocks we like better than Garrett Motion › The stop lights were green for automotive technology company Garrett Motion (NASDAQ: GTX) on Thursday at least as far as its stock was concerned. Investors bid Garrett up by more than 3% that day, due mainly to its encouraging set of quarterly earnings figures. That rise was notably higher than that of the S&P 500 index, which crawled less than 0.1% higher. An accelerating bottom line Garrett's second-quarter results, published Thursday morning, featured rises in key metrics. The company's net sales didn't exactly boom, but they did increase almost 3% year over year to $913 million. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net income rose more strongly, advancing by nearly 36% to $87 million. On a non-GAAP (adjusted), per-share basis, the bottom line grew by 48% to $0.43. Although the consensus analyst estimate was $918 million, Garrett crushed the adjusted bottom-line pundit forecast of $0.42. In the earnings release, Garrett attributed its improvements to broad gains in a number of cutting-edge product segments. It quoted CEO Olivier Rabiller as saying the company "reinforced our leadership in turbocharging, by securing awards for more than $1 billion in light vehicle program extensions while continuing to advance our zero-emission technologies, achieving new milestones in our e-powertrain, e-cooling, and fuel cell programs." Turbocharged guidance Garrett clearly believes the positive momentum will continue, as it raised both its top-line and profitability guidance for the entirety of 2025. The company is now projecting that net sales will come in at $3.4 billion to $3.6 billion (previous guidance: $3.3 billion to $3.5 billion). GAAP net income should be $233 million to $278 million, up from the former estimate of $209 million to $254 million. Should you invest $1,000 in Garrett Motion right now?
