Kia Stonic went on sale a little while ago, and its numbers, though already impressive, are set to explode once supply is sorted out. Last month, Kia moved 745 Stonics, a great total by any measure.

Covid has strip-mined the auto industry with delivery promises left in tatters.

From humble beginning with just a single model, the range has grown. 25 years ago, Subaru introduced the first ever cross vehicle, and its own brand of AWD. Outback’s grandmother is the quirky AWD Leonie wagon, so it is fitting that a wagon fills a gap vacated by most manufacturers.
Nissan Pathfinder has taken a bold, positive direction with the release of the latest, all-new, model. “Thirty-five years after the launch of the original model, Pathfinder has returned to its rugged roots, loaded with the benefit of everything learned along the way,” said Jared Haslam, vice president, Product and Services Planning, Nissan North America. “Today’s large SUV owners want a vehicle that conveys strength and rugged capability, while using advanced safety and technology features to keep their family safe and comfortable during every-day adventures, and the all-new 2022 Pathfinder is ready to take on those adventures.”
Yaris Cross: When is a Yaris, not a Yaris When Toyota released the Yaris, it was lambasted for no longer having an entry level car under 20k, and quite right too. It is a nonsense.
