IS THIS REALLY THE LAST GAS(P)?

There is no doubt that we are in the beginning/middle/end (you pick) of an automotive era. We have seen your letters complaining about too much electric-car coverage-they're in an overflowing postal bin marked "Angry Letters to Santa." We get it. Unfortunately, many of the new vehicles being introduced are electric or electrified. But, most isn't everything, nor does it mean the next time you head to a dealership you'll have to buy a vehicle with some variation of the following words: "Eco i Lightning tron ID Prime Dream." There are still some great gas-burning machines coming to showrooms soon, and we've carefully selected 12 that we think are worth the wait. After you buy one of these models, consider keeping it for the long run because vehicles of this ilk will become increasingly rare in the coming decades.
