//The Wire//2300Z November 10, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: TRIBAL TENSIONS INCREASE IN MINNEAPOLIS AFTER ELECTION LOSS. GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN ENDS AFTER FAA CLOSES AIRSPACE TO PRIVATE JETS. TERROR ATTACK IN INDIA KILLS 10X IN DELHI.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Caribbean: This morning the Pentagon announced two more kinetic strikes on narco-vessels in the eastern Pacific Ocean. 6x people were KIA as a result of the strike.India: This morning at least one (possibly more) Vehicle-Borne IED(s) were detonated at the Red Fort monument in Delhi. 8-10x people were killed during the attack, and dozens more wounded. Reports initially stated that one VBIED was the primary attack vector, however throughout the day reports emerged that up to 3x separate VBIEDs might have been involved. However, it is not clear as to if these other vehicles exploded because of their proximity to the original blast seat, or if they were separate VBIEDs altogether. The American Embassy in Delhi has issued a security notice, warning of additional attacks. Indian authorities have also observably increased security at other sites around the country, and 3x people have been arrested in conjunction with the attack.Analyst Comment: The culprit of the attack is not yet known. The choice of target, Red Fort (an old fortification from the Mughal Empire) doesn't really provide any indication either, since there's nothing really that political about the site. Some locals have claimed that the entire affair was not a terror attack, but an industrial accident. Considering the social media situation at present, it's not possible to determine the truth of the matter. However, the US State Department immediately issuing a travel notice indicates that this probably wasn't an accident.Right now it looks like this was a genuine terror attack, and this target was chosen simply due to this monument being a popular site among locals; there are always large crowds at this venue and it's very easy to get a vehicle in the middle of a crowd there. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, however lately Indian officials have been cracking down on ISIS-K militants which have been aided by Pakistan. In short, India backs the Taliban in Afghanistan, while Pakistan backs ISIS-K (which oppose the Taliban) in Afghanistan as well. As such, it's very likely that this attack is the latest development in the proxy war between the two nations, which has become increasingly more complicated over the years. India will be quick to blame Pakistan (which is probably not completely inaccurate), but at this point the entire proxy war between the two nations is so muddled that it's hard to discern who did what.-HomeFront-Minnesota: Following the loss of Omar Fateh in his race for Mayor of Minneapolis, tribal conflict has begun to simmer in the city. In a speech that was given in the Somali language only, Rep. Ilhan Omar expressed hostility towards the members of other Somali clans, which sided with Omar's opponent during the election. She openly called for casting out these other tribes from Minneapolis, and chastised those who translated her speeches into English...and thus revealing what she said.Utah: A large high-density housing complex under construction burned down yesterday. A catastrophic structure fire was reported at the facility under construction in Lehi, in the Traverse Mountain area. No cause of the fire has been released, but the facility burned completely to the ground.Washington D.C. - The FAA has announced more airspace restrictions due to the shortage of air traffic controllers. Private planes have been banned from 12x major airports around the country, in an effort to reduce the strain on control towers, most of which are running skeleton crews during off-peak hours. Shortly after the announcement of this policy was posted by the National Business

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with the mess in the US is getting worse as 'retribution' is ramped up. Markets are getting nervous.First, the US government shutdown is masking official data that would show growing troubles in their economy. Today the Challenger job cut report for October revealed that softening consumer demand, the shutdown, AI adoption and higher tariff-taxes are driving hiring freezes and actual labour force reductions. This report said there were 153,000 layoffs in the month, the most since 2003. For all of 2025 so far, there have been more than 1 mln people laid off as counted in this survey. Hiring activity is slowing fast. The last time it was this bad was in the first Trump presidency (in 2020) but there was an excuse then. This time its all on his policies.Meanwhile, the New York Fed's Global Supply Chain Pressure Index has eased again as US consumer demand falls away.Financial markets reacted badly to the jobs cut report, going into a more risk-averse mode. That had the effect of punishing commodity currencies as a second-level consequence.And a new shutdown pressure is about to hit the US. The FAA is restricting air traffic control services to many airports because they can't pay the controllers and rostering of the ones they can pay is a "safety issue". In true Trump style, the cutbacks will focus on states with Democrat governors. Large numbers of flights are being cancelled today.The US has added ten minerals to its Critical Minerals List. Being on the list invokes a US Section 232 legal probe for potential tariffs and trade restrictions. It is a stick used to beat its trading partners and gives Trump-supporting investors cover to profit from re-opening unprofitable US capacity.In Canada, they have released the 2025 Budget and it is a bit unusual. Rather than focusing on short-term benefits, even in the face of painful reactions to the US border restrictions, they have chosen a long-term focus to re-orient their economy away from US dependence. That will no doubt bring short-term political stresses, but is an unusual approach by a democracy. More like the Chinese approach. Carney is betting Canadian voters will have the patience for the payoff. His opposition smells an opportunity.Meanwhile across the Pacific, Taiwanese inflation ticked up from its unusually low 1.3% rate in September to 1.5% in October, a level they had been at for the prior four months.There were three central bank rate decisions out overnight and all held unchanged; Malaysia at 2.75%, Norway at 4.0%, and England also at 4.0%.In the EU, they measure their retail sales on a volume (inflation-adjusted) basis and in September it eased lower from August to be +1.0% higher than year-ago levels. The weaker September was less than expected, but the year-on-year gain was as anticipated.In Australia, their merchandise exports are rising fast again. They were up +7.9% in September from August, up +10.3% from the same month a year ago. But the surge is largely due to exports of gold which took an unusual breather in August. Mineral exports were up +9.7%, rural exports were up just +0.7%. Interestingly it was China (and Hong Kong) that drove the demand. But also exports to the US rose by almost a quarter despite the tariffs. Those tariffs have had little impact because the Americans themselves are paying them, taxing themselves.The rise of global container freight rates we noted last week has pushed on into this latest update, up +8% for the week, to take it to -39% lower than year-ago levels. Outbound cargoes from China are driving the resurgence. US importers are resigned to paying the tariff-taxes, the Europeans taking advantage of the Chinese desire to pivot away from dependence on the US. Meanwhile bulk cargo rates rose +3% in the past week to be +41 higher than year-ago levels.Another measure of global shipping's prospects is Danish shipping giant Maersk's share price. It is up +1.3% for the month, up +20% from a year ago. Much of their optimism is centered on China.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.08%, back down -7 bps from yesterday at this time to the prior day's level.The price of gold will start today at US$3979/oz, down -US$3 from this time yesterday.American oil prices are -US$1 lower from yesterday at just on US$59/bbl, with the international Brent price now just on US$63/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at just under 56.3 USc, and down -30 bps from yesterday. That makes it at its lowest level in seven months. Against the Aussie we are holding lower at 87 AUc but that is a 12 year low. Against the euro we are down -50 bps at 49.8 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 60.9 and down -40 bps from yesterday, basically equalizing the April dip and the lowest since July 2009 and a 16 year low.The bitcoin price starts today at US$100,519 and back down -3.2% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/- 1.9%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston.

How Australia's new "solar sharer" program will give every household three hours of free solar power a day—even if they don't have panels! It's a bold experiment to shift energy use to the middle of the day when the sun is strongest. In California, the state quietly pulled the plug on its long-delayed e-bike rebate program, shuffling the remaining funds into clean car subsidies instead. The hosts argue it's a short-sighted move that favors more expensive solutions over the most efficient ones. Meanwhile, South Korea now requires solar canopies over large parking lots nationwide—providing clean power, shade, and EV charging. The hosts also mark ten years since the Paris Accord and look back at how renewables blew past early forecasts. Other stories include Kia's big EV push into Japan, Chery's 800-mile solid-state battery breakthrough, and listener mail about Chinese automakers. The Lightning Round: Waymo expands robotaxis to new cities, Hyundai's global EV sales surge 47%, France tops global energy efficiency rankings, and a shocking stat—rising heat now kills one person every minute.

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with the good bits of news which seem to dominate today are in fact masking some less-than-good trends nested within them.First up, US ADP employment report on private payrolls for October reported a +42,000 rise in filled jobs, much better than the -29,000 shedding in September and also better than the expected +25,000 gain observers had thought. They also reported that pay growth has been largely flat for more than a year. However the October jobs gains are all concentrated in California and the other two Pacific states. Without their +37,000 gain, things would look rather somber - which is what the rest of the country faces. This survey does not cover public sector employees and of course that is currently very negative given Trump's shutdown.And we should note that this Federal government shutdown is now the longest in US history, and now longer than his first 2018-19 one.And we should also note that oral arguments are being heard in the US Supreme Court's review of the legality of the Trump tariffs. Given the stacked nature of the court, no-one really expects them to rule the Trump actions as 'illegal', but there was a surprising amount of sceptical questioning around the legal basis earlier today.US mortgage applications fell -1.9% last week from the prior week, the fifth decrease in the past six weeks.In a notable contrast to the weak factory sector, the giant American services sector expanded faster in October according to the ISM services PMI. It rose more than expected to its best level since February, putting its September stall behind it. But forward looking sentiment isn't strong, with these firms still contracting workforce levels, and frustration at the level of tariff-taxes they have to bear.Meanwhile, American household debt rose by +US$197 bln in Q3-2025 from the prior quarter to a new record high of almost US$$18.6 tln and up +4.4% from a year earlier. Mortgage balances grew by +US$137 bln and credit card balances rose by US$$24 bln in the quarter. These shifts are being considered 'steady' rather than indicating added riskAcross the Pacific in China, the private S&P Global services PMI has remained modestly expansionary in October, and still better than the official version. The sector continues supported by a faster rise in overall new business, although export sales fell modestly. Meanwhile, 'efficiency' drives led to staffing levels reducing in part due to cost concerns. Despite higher input prices, output charges fell fractionally, while business confidence regarding the year ahead softened.In Europe, Germany reported a rise in factory orders in September from the prior month, however that still leaves than -4.4% lower than year-ago levels. They will be encouraged by the recent uptick, which was better than expected. The new order uptick in the car, electrical and transportation sectors were particularly encouraging.Sweden's central bank kept its policy rate unchanged at 1.75% at its October meeting, as widely anticipated. Tonight the Norwegians will review their 4% rate too, and they aren't expected to make any changes either.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.15%, up +7 bps from yesterday at this time. The price of gold will start today at US$3982/oz, up +US$14 from this time yesterday.American oil prices are -50 USc lower from yesterday at just under US$60/bbl, with the international Brent price now just under US$64/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at just under 56.6 USc, and down -10 bps from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are down -20 bps at 87 AUc. Against the euro we are unchanged at 49.3 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 61.3 and only marginally softer from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$103,811 and recovering +1.1% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at just on +/- 2.2%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1187: GM trims its workforce and tech leadership as it reassesses priorities. Kia hits pause on its next U.S. EV launch amid regulatory roadblocks. And Walmart leans into nostalgia with a print catalog push designed to elevate its home game.Show Notes with links:General Motors made sweeping changes last week, laying off workers and restructuring leadership as it adjusted to shifting market signals. What began as a response to softening EV demand quickly expanded into a broader corporate shakeup.GM eliminated 1,750 jobs, including 1,200 from Factory Zero in Detroit and hundreds more at paused battery plants in Ohio and Tennessee.The company cited weaker EV sales and regulatory uncertainty as reasons for scaling back production.Senior VP of Software David Richardson abruptly exited following an internal reorg just days after presenting at GM's tech event.His responsibilities were shifted under product leadership led by Tesla/Aurora alum Sterling Anderson.CEO Mary Barra assumed oversight of cybersecurity and IT, signaling a more hands-on approach to GM's tech transformation.Kia has officially delayed the U.S. release of its compact EV4 sedan, which was initially slated to arrive in early 2026.The EV4, revealed at the New York Auto Show, was expected to start under $40K with up to 330 miles of range.Kia confirmed the delay, citing “changing market conditions for EVs” as primary cause.The expiration of the $7,500 EV tax credit and new import tariffs have reshaped the economics of launching foreign-built EVs in the U.S.The EV4 was to be manufactured in South Korea and imported to the U.S.; that plan is now on hold indefinitely.Kia's EV lineup already includes the EV6, EV9, and Niro EVIn an unexpected move, Walmart has revived the old-school print catalog to boost its home goods visibility. The retailer's latest campaign mixes nostalgia with strategy, aiming to reintroduce shoppers to a broader, more style-forward product lineup.Walmart released a full-scale home catalog in August, targeting new, existing, and lapsed customers ahead of the holidays.The catalog showcases furniture, decor, and appliances with QR codes linking to Walmart's online store.SVP Creighton Kiper described the catalog as a static creative tool to reposition Walmart as a destination for affordable, high-style home goods.Despite rapid execution, early impressions and engagement exceeded expectations — though no follow-up editions have been confirmed.“Most retailers recognize… you have to have a marketing mix across online and offline channels to really reach the consumer,” said Polly Wong, President of Belardi Wong.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:03 Upcoming Edge Webinar Tomorrow!1:39 GM Shakes Up ExeJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

//The Wire//2300Z October 30, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: WAR CONTINUES IN LEBANON AS TENSIONS REMAIN HIGH. UNREST UNDERWAY IN TANZANIA. AIRSTRIKES CONTINUE IN CARIBBEAN. WHITE HOUSE PLANS TO INCREASE NUCLEAR TESTING FOLLOWING RUSSIA'S INTENSIFICATION OF SIMILAR EFFORTS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Overnight Israeli targeting in Lebanon continued with new strikes in the southern regions of the country. This comes after a few days of airstrikes and rising tensions in Lebanon. Analyst Comment: Details are sketchy on all sides, however a series of events have transpired over the past few days that have deteriorated relations. On Sunday, French troops stationed in Lebanon as part of the UN observation mission shot down an Israeli drone that was harassing their position. In response to that, a different drone approached the French position and dropped a grenade near them. An Israeli tank also fired a round that landed near the French observation post, continuing a long-standing tradition in the region (The IDF will frequently shoot near an international power that they don't like, they have hit a few observation posts with tank rounds before). In addition to this, IDF bombings adjacent to UN locations in Lebanon have continued to send the message, but mostly have just increased tensions in Lebanon once again and served as a reminder that the relationship between Israel and France is not particularly great.Tanzania: A state of civil unrest is underway nationwide following the deterioration of protests over the past few days, most of which have been prompted by recent election woes. The incumbent President excluded his main political rivals from the ballot, which prompted protests and demonstrations. These efforts have now become more widespread, and around a dozen fatalities have been reported so far during the riots.Caribbean: Yesterday evening the Pentagon announced another strike in the region, which resulted in the sinking of one more narco-vessel in the Pacific. 4x KIA were reported as a result of the strike.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Much rhetoric has abounded following various developments in the field of nuclear weapons. Earlier this week, Russia publicly announced the successful test of their latest nuclear-powered, nuclear-capable torpedo system, which has been a class of weapons in development since the 1980's. This latest version, dubbed the "Poseidon" in the open source world, is the latest version to be publicly and successfully tested. This in turn produced much fanfare surrounding these tests, and President Trump has stated that the US intends to increase nuclear testing over the next few months; because other nations have increased their efforts, so will the United States.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Regarding this recent rhetoric, there appears to be a "lost in translation" factor to what has been said by world leaders so far. Russia, for instance, has not stated that they intend to carry out testing of actual atomic weapons themselves. The last time Russia conducted a test of the detonation of a nuclear warhead was in 1990. China similarly conducted an underground nuclear test a little more recently, back in 1996. Russia in particular also has a slightly different "nuclear triad" than the United States. The US has bombers, submarine launched missiles, and static missile silos, all of which form the main methods for the deployment of nuclear weapons (thus the three legs of the "triad").Russia has a different, more diverse view of nuclear deterrence.

Bringing back a bit of summer with the first recorded interview from this past @dimensionsfestival in Tisno, Croatia. This was my second year hosting talks at the lovely Haze stage and the first guest in our little series is Australian DJ and Animalia label boss, @kia-sydney. A longtime lover of dance music who started DJing in 2015, Kia's sets travel from dark and driving to playful and euphoric with complete ease — she's an artist who refuses to limit herself, and her sound only benefits from not being boxed in, while her label's exports are as adventurous and exciting as she is. More than just a creative outlet, music is a form of personal expression for Kia, and she is an expert in crafting not only DJ performances, but mixes that are often akin to a diary. As always for these live talks, rather than honing in on one topic, we're exploring each artist's journey and the musical pursuits that make them who they are.

In this episode, we dive into the latest developments in electric and autonomous vehicle technology. Uber selects the first city for its Lucid Gravity robotaxi rollout, signaling a major step forward in driverless ride-hailing. Meanwhile, Tesla's Full Self-Driving v14 continues to underwhelm with reports of erratic behavior including braking and hallucinations. Kia makes headlines with its electric van setting a Guinness World Record for range. We also look at Lucid's ambitions to deliver a ‘mind-off' autonomous driving experience with Nvidia's tech. And for a deeper understanding of EV range testing, a YouTube breakdown of WLTP and EPA procedures is featured.

Hay un “gigante silencioso” del que pocos parecen acordarse. Mientras el debate del motor se centra en la nueva ofensiva china, en el diseño europeo o en la fiabilidad japonesa, hay un actor que, sin hacer mucho ruido, se está comiendo el mercado. ¡Los coreanos! ¿Cómo lo han hecho? Por supuesto, cuando hablamos de “Corea”, sin más, nos referimos a Corea del Sur que en su propio país en 2023 fabricación 4,25 millones de coches mientras Corea del Norte… a ver, no hay cifras fiables, pero las estimaciones dicen que no llegan a las 1.000 unidades… Corea del Sur fabrica 4.000 veces más coches que Corea del Norte. Ahí lo dejo. Tras esta aclaración y como aperitivo vamos con más datos. En 2023, el grupo formado por Hyundai y Kia vendió la friolera de 7,3 millones de vehículos en todo el mundo. Y no están contentos, pues su objetivo era superar los 7 millones y medio porque las marcas coreanas fabrican en otros muchos países, entre ellos, por ejemplo, China, EE.UU. de Norteamérica, India y al menos 5 países más. En Europa, su avance es más notable. En 2023, la cuota de mercado combinada de ambas marcas superó el 7 por ciento. Y en un mercado tan competitivo como el español, Kia fue la segunda marca más vendida y Hyundai la cuarta, sumando entre ambas un 13,18 por ciento del total. La historia del motor en Corea del Sur es relativamente reciente y es una epopeya de superación industrial. Tras la devastadora Guerra de Corea, el país necesitaba reconstruirse y el gobierno apostó fuerte por la industrialización. En la década de los 60, los fabricantes coreanos empezaron ensamblando coches de marcas europeas y americanas, aprendiendo el oficio desde cero. Kia, fundada en 1944, empezó fabricando bicicletas y luego pequeñas camionetas. Hyundai, por su parte, nació como una constructora en 1947, y no fue hasta 1967 que fundó su división de motor. Su primer coche propio, el Hyundai Pony de 1975, es el perfecto ejemplo de sus inicios: diseño italiano de Giugiaro, motor y transmisión de Mitsubishi... un puzle de piezas extranjeras. Era un coche honesto, pero básico y de calidad digamos que justa. Durante los 80 y 90, los coches coreanos llegaron a Europa y Estados Unidos con una única carta de presentación: el precio. Eran baratos, sí, pero también poco fiables, con diseños anodinos y una calidad de materiales que dejaba mucho que desear. Se ganaron una reputación de "coche para salir del paso" que les ha costado décadas sacudirse. ¿Qué hicieron para pasar de ser el patito feo a uno de los cisnes del sector? No hay una sola razón, sino una estrategia múltiple ejecutada con una disciplina férrea. Uno. Obsesión por la calidad y la fiabilidad: Aprendieron de la mejor escuela, la japonesa. Muchos los consideran los “Nuevos japoneses”. Invirtieron miles de millones en mejorar sus procesos de producción, en control de calidad y en desarrollar su propia tecnología. Dos. El diseño como bandera: A principios del siglo XXI, entendieron que, para competir en Europa, no bastaba con ser fiable; había que ser atractivo. En 2006, Kia fichó a Peter Schreyer, un reputado diseñador proveniente de Audi y responsable, entre otros, del Audi TT original. Schreyer revolucionó la imagen de la marca, introduciendo la parrilla "Tiger Nose" y dotando a los modelos de una identidad más audaz y europea. Tres. Tecnología para todos: Los fabricantes coreanos democratizaron el equipamiento. Elementos que hace una década estaban reservados a las marcas premium como pantallas táctiles, asistentes a la conducción, conectividad avanzada, empezaron a venir de serie o en acabados intermedios en modelos generalistas. Un camino que han seguido los chinos. Un argumento de venta potentísimo. más por menos dinero. Cuatro. Una gama para cada necesidad: Han sabido leer el mercado a la perfección. Su gama abarca desde utilitarios asequibles como el Hyundai i10 hasta grandes SUV como el Kia Sorento, pasando por compactos superventas como el Ceed o el i30. Y, sobre todo, han apostado por los SUV en el momento justo y con los productos adecuados. Cinco. Integración vertical. Este conglomerado es líder en la producción de acero, componentes y baterías. No nos olvidemos que el grupo cuenta con divisiones como Hyundai Steel, líder en el acero, Hyundai Mobis fabricante de los componentes de sus coches entre otras cosas y alianzas estratégicas y “joint ventures” con los gigantes coreanos de las baterías, como SK On y LG Energy Solution. Seis. Electrificación, Ahora o Nunca: Aquí es donde han dado el verdadero golpe de autoridad. Mientras muchos fabricantes europeos y japoneses parecían dudar o moverse con lentitud, Hyundai y Kia se lanzaron de cabeza a la electrificación, con tecnología de 800V que permite cargas rápidas. Aunque, el tiempo lo dirá, esta apuesta por la electrificación, puede volverse en su contra.

As we head to the end of the year, with new 2026 models out or on the way, many buyers are looking for end of year deals.  We are doing a review of some of our reviews of popular models, just in case....A trail tamer or a family hauler—what truly fits your life right now? We put two 2025 standouts under the microscope: Chevrolet's Colorado ZR2, a factory-built off-road machine with real armor and beadlock-capable wheels, and Kia's Sorento SX Prestige with the X Pro package, a smart three-row SUV tuned for comfort, tech, and daily ease. Along the way, we unpack the details that matter beyond the brochure: how the ZR2's underbody camera and rocker protection change your confidence on rocky terrain, why the lifted suspension improves clearance but complicates step-in height, and how the TurboMax four-cylinder's 430 pound-feet moves the truck even when it sounds busy.Shift to the Sorento and the vibe changes. Dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays streamline navigation and driver info, while a digital rearview mirror widens your view in traffic. Heated and ventilated seats in both the front and second-row captain's chairs elevate comfort, and rear door sunshades beat tint when you don't want darkness at night. On the road, 17-inch wheels with taller sidewalls calm bumps and cut harshness in a way low-profile tires rarely can. With up to 4,500 pounds of towing in the 2.5-liter turbo AWD setup, the Sorento handles small trailers and weekend projects without drama, and city maneuverability stays stress-free.We also get practical about numbers. The Colorado's ZR2 pricing reflects serious hardware and a 7,700-pound tow rating when equipped, all in a package that still fits a standard garage. The Sorento's value story spans from accessible base models to a feature-rich SX Prestige around the high $40Ks as tested, competing in a crowded segment with a flexible third row that doesn't feel oversized. By the end, you'll know whether your miles call for rock gardens and skid plates or a calm commute with room for kids and cargo.If you enjoyed this breakdown, follow the show, share it with a friend who's shopping, and leave a quick review to help others find us. Which one would you park in your garage and why?

//The Wire//2300Z October 28, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: LONDON STABBING KILLS ONE, WOUNDS TWO. FRENCH RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE TARGETED IN ARSON ATTACKS. USA STRIKES 4X NARCO-VESSELS IN PACIFIC OCEAN. MEDICAL RESEARCH MONKEYS ESCAPE AFTER VEHICLE CRASH IN MISSISSIPPI.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: This morning a mass stabbing was reported in a residential area of Uxbridge, a suburb of London. One person was killed and two others wounded during the attack, with at least one of the wounded being a child. The assailant has been reported to be an Afghan refugee.Analyst Comment: While knife attacks are incredibly common in London, this one was particularly brutal because it was so random and caught on video. The victim was out walking his dog when an Afghan migrant attacked him and stabbed him to death on the street.France: Multiple arson attacks were carried out on the high speed rail lines between Marseille, Nice, and Montpellier. These arson attacks took the form of unknown malign actors setting fire to the signaling equipment (and really anything that looked important) at several points along the tracks. These incidents ended up causing many delays as trains had to be re-routed to other lines to continue service.South America: Overnight, the War Department announced several more airstrikes in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Three kinetic strikes were carried out on a total of four vessels (one strike targeted two boats that were tied together to exchange bundles of drugs at sea). 14x KIA were reported in total as a result of these strikes, along with 1x survivor.-HomeFront-Massachusetts: Yesterday the DoJ announced the indictment of an Indian national who conducted a stabbing attack onboard a Lufthansa flight on Saturday. The DoJ states that Praneeth Kumar Usiripalli was arrested in Boston after the Germany-bound flight was diverted due to his attack. The press release states that one of the victims awoke to find Usiripalli standing over them, before trying to stab the victim to death. In the ensuing fray, at least one other passenger was stabbed. The assailant also attempted to stab several crew members while attempting to be subdued. Both victims are juveniles, and it's not clear as to why Usiripalli attempted to murder them during the flight.Mississippi: This afternoon a vehicle accident involving a research truck filled with biological specimens was reported on I-59 in Jasper County. This accident resulted in the inadvertent release of several Rhesus monkeys that were being used for medical research at Tulane University. Initial reports from the Sheriff's Department stated that these monkeys are infected with a variety of diseases, including COVID and Hepatitis. However, this afternoon a representative from the University stated that the monkeys were not infectious.Analyst Comment: Yes, this is a real thing that happened. The escape of medical research monkeys happens surprisingly often, usually without much fanfare. In this case, the initial information that these monkeys were carrying the plot of about 4 different apocalyptic movies caused the story to gain a lot of traction immediately. Most of the monkeys have been re-captured and/or killed, but at least one remains on the loose. As such, locals have been advised to keep a lookout.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The attacks on French rail infrastructure are a very common attack vector that is carried out daily throughout the nation. Arson attacks on electrical infrastructure (or in this case, signaling boxes beside the tracks) are carried out with such frequency that the local media doesn't usually report on them unless it causes major disruptions. Usually, the culprits are officially "unidentified", but in the overwhelming majority of cases the attacks are mostly ANTIFA or other types of anarchist groups whi

Uber Green gets a new name as Uber doubles down on electric rides, the world's largest heat battery comes online in California, a massive new floating twin wind turbine from China smashes records, and California tightens fire safety rules after a major grid battery blaze. Plus, why cold wind actually generates more electricity — and why Kia's newest EV comes with a gasoline-scented air freshener. Brian goes all the way to Boston to see a Paul Thomas Anderson film in VistaVision then gets stranded there thanks to Air Canada. Then we discuss the Blue Jays going to the World Series. More chitchat in our extended Patreon episode this week. China's MingYang Ocean X floating wind turbine doubles the size of current designs with 290-meter rotors and 50 MW capacity. James vents about nuclear plans in Saskatchewan More: Nissan's Sakura EV gets a solar roof generating up to 3,000 km of free driving per year. Beyond Meat stock surges over 1,000%. Chinese automakers outsell Toyota in Japan's EV market. Fossil-fuel heat linked to a 38% decline in tropical birds. Finland finds cold air produces more wind energy than warm — but watch out for ice on the blades.

Recap From Listener Chris: Daisy and Ellyn recap Love is Blind Season 9, Episode 5 and force us all relive the most painful tunnel of love encounter with Patrick and Kacie.  They also inspire us to hate Mike more than we ever thought we could... which is an impressive skill, since this dude is a diabetes-shaming loser who thinks everyone's favorite honeymoon destination, spring break spot, and cruise port, Tulum, is "exotic." Meanwhile...we all agree that although we sorta like Sparkle Pony Pinkie Pie and Kia-driving Jordan, we're a little concerned about Megan's use of the word "mom" when she talks about Jordan's son. Finally, Edmond jumps really high and Daisy and Ellyn thankfully remind us all that Ali and Anton still exist... where are those guys?

 Kia ora e te whānau. Best laid plans and all that…We had a bumper episode lined up for you this week, with a lot of stuff to talk about, and an amazing GRE, that was even before we got to Andrew's conversation with the mighty Helene Barron. Annoying story short, our entire episode got zoinked by the AWS outage. Perfect. So please enjoy this distilled episode of DCR, with the one and only Helene Barron, elite trail athlete, high-performance physiotherapist, coach, mother, wife, sister, friend, and legend. The trail exploits are but a small part of Helene's story, as she has recently gone through a two-year battle with tongue cancer.

Continuing this month's topic on attachment and attunement, we have with us today the Life Model Works Executive Director, Marlene Allen. So many of our clients and listeners ask how I can have joy in pain or return to joy when things seem hopeless. Isn't that like just being happy and faking it until you make it?No!Today, we talk about adversity, pain, and lament, and how they differ from complaining and venting, which are stuck in disgust or contempt. Lament is a release and offering, and complaining amplifies your pain and can blind you. So join our discussion today to learn more about:Self-attunmentAttunement to God and developing iSight, is Immanuel always with me?How does pain impact me?Lamenting vs Complaining About our Guest:Marlene Allen currently serves as the Executive Director of Life Model Works.

It started as one woman's unusual plan to control ticks on her family's old Wisconsin farm: drive hours in a tiny Kia, pick up ten ring-neck pheasants in burlap sacks, and release them on the land. But the road trip spiraled into a comedy of chaos—hissing birds, Jurassic-Park-like screeches, an unforgettable smell, and a surprise waiting in the back seat. Out of that disastrous adventure came an unexpected miracle: one tiny life that would change everything. What began as a spur-of-the-moment farm solution became a heartfelt bond with a bold little pheasant named Darby, who had no fear of anything—not even the family dog. But years later, after Darby's time on earth came to an end, the story took a turn no one could have predicted. When grief lingered and memories wouldn't fade, something impossible happened—an unmistakable sign that love doesn't always leave when the body does. Was it coincidence… or proof that some bonds really do outlast death? #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalPetStory #HauntedFeather #MessagesFromBeyond #SignFromBeyond #PetAfterlife #EmotionalParanormal #AnimalSpirit #RealHaunting #SupernaturalEncounters #HeartwarmingHaunting #GhostStories Love real ghost stories?

Kelly is feeling better, but the anxiety from the steroids sure did a number on her. Luckily Lizz was there to step in and host a 4Runner tour to rave reviews. But now that she's feeling better, Kelly is ready to shop the Prime Day deals. The deals weren't the best, but she managed to get some great finds. One of those finds is a belt she needed for the influencer party both Kelly and Lizz are headed to this week. Does this mean they are fashion influencers now? If they are, Lizz has the perfect brooch! Speaking of brooches, they'll be perfect for a holiday outfit. Kelly is excited for most of the holidays, except the fall salad she perfected last year that could now kill her....  Kelly and Lizz continue to be enthralled with the current season of 'Dancing with the Stars' and have a lot to say about this week's episode. Did the right person go home? How much does personality matter more than dance ability? They'll talk about their favorite dances and the ones that creeped them out.  In Industry News, a list of the top 25 cars that could last 250,000 was released and the top four are Toyota vehicles. Then some unfortunate news as Kia announced the Soul will not be sold after 2025. Then in Ditch the Drive-Thru, Lizz is bringing back the parmesan asparagus and Kelly is making an easy carbonara.  Lastly, Kelly and Lizz celebrate the lives of more of Blake's Besties including the stories of Claire, Molly Grace, Jude and Violet.
