Drawing Board 2015 Lexus RC Coupe: It seems that Toyota's premium brand is finally getting a bit sporty, as evidenced by this sleeklooking GS-sedan-based coupe. The RC 350 arriving this spring features a 314-horsepower 3.5-litre V6, while the RC 300h gets a 2.5-litre four-cylinder coupled with an electric motor that puts out a net 217 horses. A performance-based F version will follow later in 2014.
Auto Trivia The 3,900-kilometre-long Route 66 was commissioned in 1926 and extended across eight states, from Chicago, Ill., to Santa Monica, Calif. The road was officially decommissioned in 1985.
The first BMW 3-Series arrived in North America for the 1977 model year, replacing the popular 2002 model.
