Cars,
BY K.C. COLWELL | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Cars Caddy's last V-8-powered V car is so good, fans will demand a follow-up before the performance subbrand goes electric.

Of course, though sausage is a perfectly serviceable topping, pepperoni is the pizza king — and even last year, we were already asking if a meat-free pepperoni was in the cards. Well, wait no…
