Continuing its streak of reveals, Dodge is showcasing the Challenger “Black Ghost,” the sixth out of seventh “Last Call” models to be introduced for the Challenger’s (and Charger’s) twilight year.

The 2023 Challenger Black Ghost pays homage to a similarly named model of Woodward Avenue legend. Owned by Godfrey Qualls, the original Black Ghost was a 1970 Challenger RT SE powered by a 426 HEMI. It went on to earn a spot in the National Historic Vehicle Register in 2020, and remains in the Qualls family.

The OG famously flexed its muscle before driving off into the night, gone without a trace; the new one should be equally stealthy thanks to the black and chrome appearance dressing the SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody. Under the hood is something less inconspicuous; the Hellcat Redeye’s supercharged 6.2-liter V8 beefed up to 807 horsepower.

Some of the more standout appearance features include the bright Dodge badging upfront and the “gator skin” roof vinyl. Less noticeable is the Midnight Metallic SRT grille badge, black MOPAR hood pins and six-piston Brembo brakes. The undercover interior is wrapped in a mix of Alcantara and leather, broken up by the red SRT logo on the wheel and carbon fiber bezels.

The sad news is that only 300 of these will be made, allocated to specific dealerships. As with all “Last Call” models, pricing and ordering details will be shared once ordering opens later this fall.

You may read that headline and think we’re being cheeky– and, to an extent, we are– but it’s very true: The Honda Odyssey minivan is being refreshed for the 2025 model year, and while this mid-cycle update isn’t bringing any extra performance to this bona fide people mover, it does bring some noteworthy improvements to the onboard tech and some slick new styling elements.

Spearheading the aesthetic changes is a new grille, self-defined as “sporty,” matched by a pair of tweaked fascias forward and aft. The front bumper is gussied up by black fog light surrounds, while the rear sees the same vertical reflectors used on the Acura NSX– yeah, that NSX. Not quite as illustrious, but still plenty welcome, are the new wheel designs, including 19-inch alloys on the top-trim Odyssey Elite; however, both new paint options, Solar Silver Metallic and Smoke Blue Pearl, can be had on all trims, EX-L, Sport-L and Touring comprising the other three.

Inside, drivers now benefit from a new 7-inch instrument panel with a physical speedometer integrated into the right side. Model standard is a larger 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless smartphone integration, joined by a wireless device charger. USB-C charge ports are situated throughout the cabin. The rear passenger rear entertainment unit has also been enlarged, now 12.8-inches, with its HDMI input relocated into the center console, which also features a dedicated bin for storing your selected streaming device.

As mentioned, performance remains at a healthy level: 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque supplied by a 3.5-liter V6 engine. This naturally-aspirated power plant sends all that minivan might to the front wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission, controllable by a pair of paddle shifters should those expressway merges warrant some precise maneuvering.

In all seriousness, the minivan may be a less common breed now, but they’re mighty practical for family hauling; and entries like the Honda Odyssey continue to prove their worth. To that extent, the 2025 Honda Odyssey, available at dealerships beginning July 23, starts at $43,315 with delivery. That covers the cost of a base EX-L; the Sport-L starts at $44,465; the Touring makes a larger leap at $48,005; and the Elite tops the charts at $52,275.
