This week on America on the Road, host Jack Nerad and co-host Chris Teague dive into a feature-filled show that includes two compelling road tests: Chris drives the newly rugged 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport, and Jack gets behind the wheel of the refined and powerful 2025 BMW M340i. The pair also unpack one of the tech world's most surprising automotive announcements from NVIDIA, discuss a major tariff shift favoring Korean brands, and look at gigantic EV discounts. Plus, they cover the swan-song BMW Z4 Final Edition and comment on the new threats to racetracks that are looming nationwide. Jack also sits down with Tom Kearns, lead designer of the 2027 Kia Telluride, for an exclusive interview recorded at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1210: President Trump moves to unwind fuel-economy rules, hybrids surge while EV sales stumble across major brands, and OpenAI hits “code red” as the AI race heats up.Show Notes with links:The Trump administration is preparing to undo Biden-era fuel economy rules, arguing the standards have inflated new-car prices and forced unwanted EV adoption.Proposed rules expected to significantly soften the Biden-era 2031 target of ~50 mpg.Detroit automaker execs, including Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa, will attend Wednesday's announcement.Trump frames the rollback as necessary to reduce vehicle prices, despite economists noting price drops wouldn't be immediate.Trump said he's “bringing back the automobile business,” predicting the industry will be “bigger than we've ever been.”He noted he likes EVs and believes hybrids “are working really well,” but defended ending what he called the “insane electric vehicle mandate” to ensure buyers “have a choice.”November delivered a clear message from American shoppers: hybrids are in, EVs… not so much. Across Toyota, Ford, Honda, Hyundai and Kia, strong hybrid gains couldn't offset steep EV drop-offs after the loss of federal tax credits—shaking up sales trends as dealers prep for year-end pushes.Toyota sales rose 2.7%, powered by light trucks, but EV volume cratered; electrified sales (mostly hybrids) still made up 44% of all deliveries.Ford deliveries dipped 0.7% as F-150 Lightning sales fell 72% and Mustang Mach-E dropped 49%, while hybrids climbed 14%.Honda sales slid 15% on semiconductor shortages; EVs collapsed—Prologue down 87% and ZDX down 98%.Hyundai-Kia stayed mixed: Hyundai down 2.3% as EV demand tanked again, Kia up 2.7% on strong hybrids and core crossovers.“With more tariffed products replacing existing nontariffed inventory, prices are drifting higher, leading to slower sales… and this may last through the remainder of the year and into next year,” said Cox Automotive's Charlie Chesbrough.OpenAI is hitting the panic button—literally—declaring a “code red” to overhaul ChatGPT's quality as Google's Gemini surge and Anthropic's business traction close the gap. With massive data-center spending, user expectations rising, and now early signs of ads coming to ChatGPT, the pressure is officially on.Sam Altman told staff OpenAI is pausing other projects to focus entirely on ChatGPT's speed, reliability, personalization, and question-handling, including starting a daily call for those responsible for improving ChatGPT.Competitor pressure is mounting: Google's latest Gemini model beat OpenAI onJoin 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/

Kia ora,Welcome to Tuesday'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 news the global economic expansion is tailing off as we come to the end of 2025.First in the US, we can report that new orders in their factory sector are falling. That is a key factor that has driven the closely-watched ISM manufacturing PMI lower, for a ninth consecutive month, and falling at a faster pace. Survey respondents cite problems with the tariff-taxes, and "trade confusion". And they report high price pressure, and rising The November result is below the deterioration expected. It's a result that has cast a pall over Wall Street today.But the ISM report is only one perspective. The rival S&PGlobal factory PMI reported a November expansion, even a modest rise in new orders. But it also noted that a lot of this 'positive activity' is related to inventory building which won't be sustainable without final customer demand. Financial markets seemed to ignore this alternate PMI.The Canadian factory PMi wasn't positive either for November which reported a marginal contraction. Interestingly, it also reported lower inflation pressures.These two North American factory PMIs feed into a global report that has overall output and new orders rising at slower rates but business optimism rising to a five-month high.In India, their October report for industrial production brought an unexpectedly sharp slowdown, hardly above year-ago levels when +4% year-on-year gains had become the norm for the past two years. We will need to wait for their November result to see if October was just an aberration. They will be hoping so.In Japan, their central bank governor has been speaking and has hinted that a rate hike at their next meeting on December 19 is a live possibility. (see pages 6 & 7.)In China, the alternative PMI to the official version has also slipped in a similar way. The S&PGlobal manufacturing sector PMI shows that conditions deteriorated in November, not by a lot, but certainly going the wrong way. There was no growth in new orders.In Australia, the Melbourne Institute inflation gauge for November rose again and is now further above the RBA's 2-3% inflation target range. Interestingly, while this result is higher, it is lower than the official October CPI rate of 3.8%.After a -2.6% quarter-on-quarter fall in Australian company profits in Q2-2025, they were expected to bounce back in Q3-2025. But in the event they stalled, unchanged, in a disappointing outcome and only +1.1% higher than year-ago levels.And staying in Australia, the Cotality house price tracking rose +1.0% in November, a slight softening from the +1.1% gain in October. Annual growth lifted to +7.1%, with quarterly gains tracking a +13.2% annualised pace. Sydney and Melbourne are the laggards, indicating that affordability has reached its serviceability limits.The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.09%, up +7 bps from this time yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$4233/oz, and up just +US$15 from yesterday. But silver has surged again to a new record high of US$58.50/oz, up +US$2 from yesterday.American oil prices are -50 USc softer at just over US$59/bbl, while the international Brent price is unchanged at just on US$63/bbl. And we should probably also note that natural gas prices are rising and are now at their highest except for the pandemic period.The Kiwi dollar is unchanged from yesterday, still at just under 57.4 USc. Against the Aussie we are down -10 bps at just on 87.5 AUc. Against the euro we have held at 49.4 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 61.9, and up +10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$85,426 and down -7.0%% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been very high, at just on +/- 4.3%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

Women's Running Collective: Fueling & Nutrition for Female Runners with Laura and Kia  Episode 63 Welcome back runners! Episode 63 is here and WOW is it a good one. This week, Hayles and Jussie catch up on their latest training sessions including some interval goodness, a spicy little pyramid set, and the usual rollercoaster of running adventures (plus a few setbacks, because we keep it real around here

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday'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 news we are waiting for the first indications of retail sales, as the US and EU economies make their run to the end-of-year holiday season. It is this retail impulse that powers much of the global economy.Also, in the week ahead we will get local and Australian building consent data, and the Aussies will release the Q3-2025 GDP growth rate, expected to be +2.2% from a year agoIn the US, there will be more catch-up official data releases but their non-farm payroll data for November has been delayed until mid-December now. However ADP will release its new weekly update and the Challenger job cut report will still come out on time. There will be PMIs for the US and no-one expects much change in any of this. Of special interest will be the end-of-week release of the UofM sentiment survey. Few see any improvement there either with it hovering around record lows.Elsewhere there will be a raft of PMI and trade and inflation releases from many countries. And the Indian central bank meets and is widely expected to cut its policy rate by -25 bps to 4.25% despite the surging growth. Fast-falling food prices means inflation is seen as under control there.Over the weekend India said their economy expanded by +8.2% in September from the previous year from the previous year and well above the expected +7.3% Q3-2025 rise and above the +7.8% growth rate from Q2-2025. It was the sharpest annual growth rate rise since March 2024. India trimmed its GST rates and increased government spending when they were faced with swingeing US tariffs, and that, along with re-orienting trade has supported consumer confidence and private investment. In late September, they simplified their multi-slab GST system with the rates for most goods falling from 12% or 28%, to 5% and 18%. This change has been a big part of their boost, giving more of an effect than anticipated.China said its official November PMIs were weaker and their tepid expansion has turned into a general but small contraction. The main change was for their services sector, shrinking for the first time in three years and joining the ongoing small contraction in their factory sector. That factory sector has now contracted for eight straight months. Both measures would be a lot worse if they didn't have deflation in their input costs. The private S&PGlobal version isn't expected to vary much from that when it is released later today, although it may be on the more positive side. Either way, these indicators are not pointing to an economy expanding like their GDP claims.Japan said retail sales were +1.7% higher in October than a year ago (real) and that was very much better than the +0.8% expected and the +0.2% in September. And Japanese industrial production rose +1.5% in the year to October, an unexpected second consecutive month of expansion and the October month also came in much better than expected.In South Korea there was a big separation between the two sectors. Industrial production declined, and quite sharply in October, although this largely reverses the big surge in September. And their retail sales took an unexpected surge, up +3.5% from September to be +2.2% higher than a year ago.In Canada, they released their September GDP growth outcome over the weekend and their forecast for October. The picture was mixed and they seem to be settling into a bit of a yo-yo pattern. July was up +0.3% for the month, August down -0.3%, September up +0.2% and October's 'flash' result down -0.3%. There is a tendency for the 'flash' results to be revised higher. Generally their goods-producing sector is marginally weaker while their services sector is mixed. From a year ago, Canada's economic activity is up +1.4%.Early reports of US retail trade over the weekend seem positive, but heavily focused online.The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.02%, unchanged from Saturday but down -5 bps from a week ago.The price of gold will start today at US$4218/oz, and up +US$7 from Saturday. And that is a +US$134/oz rise for the week, or +3.2%.Silver surged in Friday US trade to a record high US$56.50/oz. Chinese inventories have dropped to their lowest level in a decade following heavy shipments to London triggered by a supply squeeze. A Comex outage in the US didn't help either.American oil prices are unchanged from Saturday to be just on US$59.50/bbl, while the international Brent price is little-changed at just over US$63/bbl. A week ago these prices were US$58/bbl and US$62.50/bbl, so a +US$1.50 rise in the US but far less internationally.The Kiwi dollar is up another +10 bps from Saturday, now at just under 57.4 USc. A week ago it was at 56.1 USc so a +120 bps rise since then or a +2.1% appreciation. Against the Aussie we are little-changed overnight at just on 87.6 AUc. Against the euro we have held at 49.4 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 62, and essentially unchanged from Saturday, up +110 bps for the week.The bitcoin price starts today at US$91,838 and up +1.5% from Saturday. And it is up +6.9% from this time last week. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low however, at just on +/- 0.9%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston.

 Kia ora e te whānau. It turns out, the Wai2k is hard mahi. I mean, we always thought that, but to have our suspicions confirmed by AMCD as he valiantly sent it in the weekend's 100km was oddly satisfying. Gareth Thomas builds hard races, as those who have had the pleasure of attempting the WUU2K will attest. To hear that compared the the WAI, the WUU is “a kid's run” apparently. AMCD's pain is indeed our gain. This week, the gang debriefs Andrew's most epic weekend, we've got a sweet little interview that Andrew did with Gareth himself, and we run down our upcoming travels (to Kosci, Kepler, and Nelson), all the trail tea, and how awesome Tamaki is for heavy music.

The Breath Space began as a live recording during Kia's in-depth training in Paris and has since evolved into a full album with the same name, now available on all platforms. This original recording opens with Kia guiding a brief breath-awareness practice, helping us notice the subtle currents that shape our body with each in- and out-breath. From there, we gather in Samastitihi, aligning body, breath, and mind, before moving through 80 minutes of Yotam's immersive soundscapes designed to carry us through our Asana practice. Throughout, gentle reminders invite us to return to the openness and presence of our inner breath. Kia also shares one of her favourite quotes by Ani Pema Chödrön.Thank you for your practice With Love and Blessingskia & yotam xFor more info about Kia´s International Workshop Schedule, Trainings, Retreats and Global Sangha, please visit: http://mysoreyogaparis.comInstagram: mysoreyogaparis For more free resources please sign up to our newsletter: https://www.mysoreyogaparis.com/newsletter-sign-upMore music by Yotam can be found at: https://www.yotamagam.com/music

Recenzia skvelého auta vyrobeného v Žiline, Kie EV4, a rozhovor s expertom na autopriemysel aj o tom, ako zasiahne konsolidácia verejných financií strednú triedu. Stredná vrstva si nové auto môže dovoliť čoraz menej. Expert na autopriemysel vidí dve cesty pre príjmovú skupinu do tritisíc eur: kúpu jazdeného auta alebo dlhodobý prenájom. Odpočty DPH sa museli zmeniť, na firmy si ľudia písali aj kabriolety a Porsche, hovorí Vladimír Orth v rozhovore. Koniec spaľovákov sa zrejme odkladáPlán Európskej únie zakázať nové registrácie benzínových a naftových áut od roku 2035 naráža na realitu.Svedčí o tom nielen vývoj v autopriemysle, ale aj silnejúci politický tlak. Paradoxne, práve v čase neistoty prichádzajú na trh elektromobily, ktoré sú lepšie než kedykoľvek predtým. Dôkazom je aj horúca novinka z Tepličky nad Váhom – Kia EV4, ktorú sme jazdili jeden týždeň.V dnešnej časti podcastu Autobazar.EU sme sa pozreli nielen na novú slovenskú Kiu, ale aj aktuálnu situáciu na trhu. Pozvanie do štúdia prijal Vladimír Orth, expert na autopriemysel. Prebrali sme aj tieto témy: Prečo je zníženie odpočtov DPH na nové autá takou výbušnou témou. Ako konsolidácia verejných financií dodatočne ovplyvní peňaženky majiteľov áut. Prečo sa v Európe začína prejavovať expanzia čínskych značiek, zatiaľ čo na Slovensku ani nie.TEST: Kia EV4 – Slovenská, luxusná a prekvapivo dospeláKia nám na týždenný test poskytla svoj novší prírastok, model EV4. Hoci ide technicky o hatchback, so svetlou výškou podvozka 14 cm ju môžeme zaradiť aj do kategórie nižších, dynamických crossoverov.Mali sme tú česť byť priamo pri spustení výroby v septembri v Tepličke nad Váhom, takže nami testovaný exemplár v nádhernej modrej farbe bol doslova "ešte horúci z výroby".Interiér: Luxus bez chémiePrvé, čo vás po nasadnutí zaujme – alebo skôr nezaujme – je absencia špecifickej arómy nových koncernových áut. V interiéri necítiť výpary lepidiel ani farieb. Je to zrejme dôsledok masívneho využívania recyklovaných a dlhodobo udržateľných materiálov. Napriek tomu pôsobí vnútro auta krásne, priam luxusne.Dojem čerstvosti potvrdzovali aj reakcie okolia, ľuďom sa nová Kia skutočne páčila. Vyzerá moderne, nadčasovo a úspešne sa vyhýba gýču. Nesnaží sa za každú cenu kričať "som elektromobil". Namiesto prvoplánových oblín tu vidíme ostro rezané línie a agresívny výraz, ktorý osloví aj konzervatívnejšieho zákazníka. Mnohí okoloidúci ani netipovali, že ide o čistý elektromobil.Baby EV6: Dosť miesta pre rodinuPokiaľ ide o priestor, EV4 pocitovo pripomína skôr väčší model EV6, než hierarchicky bližšie postavený model EV3. Cítiť to najmä na hodnotnom spracovaní interiéru a jazdnom komforte.Funkčne sú si tieto vozidlá veľmi blízke, rozdielna je najmä veľkosť. EV6 je podstatne dlhšia, ale priestor v prvom aj druhom rade je veľmi porovnateľný.Úžitková hodnota EV4 hatchback bez problémov pokrýva bežné rodinné potreby. Kufor má kapacitu 459 litrov, v interiéri je množstvo odkladacích priestorov, miesto pre zavesenie oblečenia, nechýba ani zadná stredová opierka. Praktickosť dopĺňa nosnosť strechy 80 kg a možnosť ťahať brzdený príves do 1 tony.Technologický náskok Kie v praxiV čom Kia skutočne exceluje, je technologická výbava. Asistenčné systémy sú spoľahlivé nielen na diaľnici, ale aj v meste. Udržiavanie v strede jazdného pruhu zvláda aj ostrejšie zákruty v hustej premávke nadštandardne dobre.Špeciálnu pochvalu si zaslúžia výkonné svetlomety. Podľa našich skúseností osvetľujú vozovku (najmä v noci na diaľnici) dokonca efektívnejšie než pri modeli EV6.Veľkým plusom je funkcia V2L (Vehicle-to-Load). Vďaka 230 V adaptéru na nabíjací konektor...

Toyota just redrew its playbook, and we're unpacking the boldest moves: Century stepping into bespoke ultra-luxury, Lexus getting room to grow, Daihatsu anchoring the entry tier, and GR leveling up from a badge to a performance brand with a rumored GRGT supercar. We break down how this five-brand architecture could reshape showrooms, challenge dealer agreements, and influence what you'll actually be able to buy next year.From there, we pivot to the realities of ownership with a rapid-fire recall rundown: Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee 4xe engines flagged for sand contamination and fire risk, a sweeping Lexus rearview camera fix, Kia spare tire mismatches, and BMW airbag inflator concerns. We share practical steps to navigate NHTSA notices, verify parts, and protect your safety and resale value without losing a weekend to service limbo.For a change of pace, we play our sold-cars price game and get schooled by a stunning 1961 Chevrolet Impala SS convertible that crushed expectations, proving that the right spec list still makes collectors open their wallets. Then we hit the racing calendar, rewind through auto history—from Daimler's two-wheeler to the EV1—and explore two market signals: McLaren building a V8 hybrid SUV and EV prices climbing as incentives fade. It's a mix of strategy, safety, and pure car love, delivered with the same energy we bring to the garage on a Saturday morning.If you enjoy smart car talk without the fluff, follow the show, share this episode with a friend who loves a good spec sheet, and leave a quick review to help more enthusiasts find us.

A living room PC that wants to be your next console, a cloned dog that raises bigger questions than it answers, and a museum heist made possible by the world's laziest password. That's the lineup we tackle as we break down the most head-scratching, revealing tech stories of the week with equal parts clarity and humor.We start with Valve's Steam machine: a sleek, SteamOS-powered box aiming for 4K/60 on your TV. We unpack the real-world hurdles—8GB VRAM limits, upgrade ambiguity, and the make-or-break pricing line—while noting the window of opportunity as Sony stays quiet on PS6 and Microsoft doubles down on cloud and subscriptions. If Valve can balance performance, cost, and openness, they might just rewrite the console conversation.From there, the show gets wonderfully weird—and instructive. Tom Brady's reported dog clone spotlights the gap between genetics and identity. A Russian humanoid robot faceplants onstage, underscoring how hard dynamic stabilization really is. A Florida homeowner learns her address has been hijacked by a fake garage-door business, the kind of “legitimacy theater” scam that thrives on stolen photos and Google listings. And a payroll glitch sends $87,000 to a factory worker who spends first and argues later, setting up a courtroom lesson in what “salary” really means.We also get practical: holiday travel phishing is spiking, with fake Booking, Expedia, and Airbnb pages skimming cards in seconds. We share simple, effective defenses: go direct to official apps, inspect URLs, and enable card alerts. Then we pour Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B520 and compare notes—rich chocolate, caramel, and spice at a hefty 127.2 proof—while reflecting on why the Nintendo Wii's motion-first design still matters. To top it off, Kia's gas-scented EV air freshener proves sensory nostalgia can be a clever bridge to cleaner tech.The jaw-dropper comes from Paris: a Louvre security failure reportedly tied to a camera password you could guess in two tries. It's a blunt reminder that protecting treasures requires basic cyber hygiene: strong unique credentials, MFA, segmentation, and monitoring.

 Kia ora e te whānau. We want to invite all who can be upstanding to welcome one R. Croft of Greymouth back for her Tenth appearance on Dirt Church Radio. We are Ruth fans. If there was a RAT for it (Ruth Antigen Test), we'd be positive. Or is that CAT? (Croft Antigen Test?). ANYWAYS. It's been a minute since we've talked to old mate, and after an abortive attempt post UTMB (Thanks, French Internet, you dork), Ali P gets together for a long overdue catch-up with Ruth about the year she's had, and what it was like to finally knock the bastard off. The bastard in question is of course, UTMB. This episode also finds our heroes discussing if they'd volunteer themselves as tribute for a fox hunt (them being the fox), the Queenstown and Aotearoa Afghanistan Marathon, and a Greatest Run Ever for the ages..

Tom opens the show by recapping briefly his time in the Lucid Air Touring electric luxury sedan. Tom is impressed by the Lucid, but does have one (big) complaint. The hosts go on to discuss rumors that Tesla will be ADDING the Apple CarPlay feature to some or all of its models in the near future. A huge new Honda recall will affect the owners of certain late-model Civics. Listen in for details. Jill and Tom chat briefly about Ford making Blue Advantage certified preowned vehicles available on Amazon. Still in the first segment, Jill shares her impressions of the 2027 Kia Telluride midsize crossover, a clay model of which she recently checked out. In the second segment, the hosts welcome Tiago Castro, Vice President of Infiniti of the Americas, to the podcast. Tiago walks Tom and Jill through the luxury carmaker's plans for the near- and midterm, focusing on new-product opportunities. In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's “Was it a Nissan?” quiz, and Jill reviews the all-new Polestar 4 crossover coupe. 

Hyundai, Kia, Genesis Logitech, Princeton, The Washington Post, DoorDash and so much more is part of this week's breaches!

 Kia ora e te whānau. Things we learned on this week's episode. We suck collectively at Maths, there is such a thing called a Wet Globe Bulb Temperature (WHAT?!?!?), We are all pro-Kipchoge winning Western States. Despite their relative masses, Andrew and Matt cope conversely in the heat (at least psychologically) and are aligned in our distaste of the UTMB kilometre effort industrial complex. The gang is back together for the literal and figurative heat of the Grapian's Peak Trail and Arrowtown Ultra.

Car prices are heating up, but your strategy can stay cool. We sat down with Patrick Olsen of Carfax to cut through the noise and map a smarter path to your next vehicle—whether you're shopping new to beat tariff-driven pressure or hunting for a reliable used car with real value. We dig into timing the market, reading shifting inventory, and setting practical guardrails that protect your budget without giving up tech, safety, or comfort.If you're weighing used options, we break down why sedans are the overlooked bargains: late-model Civics, Accords, Camrys, and Malibus that deliver strong mpg and long-haul reliability. We talk about lease-return realities, the must-know red flags on history reports, and the truth about extended warranties versus building your own repair fund. For parents and grads, we call out the safety features that matter most—blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking—and why they deliver day-to-day dividends.Curious about used EVs? We get real on costs, home charging, and how to think about range so an affordable 150–200 mile car can be your low-cost daily driver. We compare brand trends—Tesla, Hyundai, Kia, Ford—and what's shifting in resale. Plus, we look at rental-fleet buys, separating maintenance positives from driver-abuse concerns so you can make a clear-eyed choice. To round it out, we fire up a detailed review of the 2024 Ford Mustang GT: design updates, tech quirks, driving feel, performance, and pricing that explains why the GT remains a crowd favorite.Want to browse smarter? We point to Carfax research tools and free reports on listings so you can verify history, surface hidden risks, and focus on the best candidates for your needs.

Looking for a family SUV that doesn't force you to choose between comfort, efficiency, and price? We dive into the 2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid SX Prestige and unpack how this three-row “small” SUV manages a big presence, refined ride, and impressive mpg without blowing the budget. From first impressions to real-world numbers, we bring a driver's-eye view of what stands out and where it lands among the best hybrids on sale today.We start with design: a crisp Kia grille, distinctive orange DRLs, quad vertical tail lights, and straight-line sculpting that reads clean and upscale. Inside, the tone shifts to near-luxury with quilted seat accents, a sculpted dash, and an available 12.3-inch screen that keeps driving info and entertainment simple and sharp. The dial shifter frees up space on the console, and the three-row, six-seat layout offers flexibility—small cargo hold with the third row up, generous room when it's folded.Then we get into the hardware. The hybrid pairing of a 1.6-liter turbo and electric assistance delivers 227 hp and 258 lb-ft through a six-speed automatic, skipping the drone of a CVT for a more traditional feel. All-wheel drive confidence, a 1,654-pound tow rating for weekend toys, and real-world efficiency of 32.8 mpg over 429 miles underline its breadth. On the road, ride quality is a standout: smooth, quiet, and composed, the sort of tuning that keeps everyone relaxed over long stretches.Finally, we tackle value and rivals. With a tested price of $49,130 and a hybrid starting point at $38,690, the Sorento sits below today's average new-car price while looking and riding like more. We stack it against the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, RAV4 Hybrid, and Honda CR-V Hybrid to show where the Sorento's extra row and upscale feel pay off. If you need space for six, crave low fuel bills, and appreciate a cabin that feels a class above, this is one to drive.Enjoyed the breakdown? Follow the show, share this episode with a friend who's SUV shopping, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find us.

//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

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. They have bombers (same as us), submarine launched missiles (again, same as us), some static silos, a lot of mobile launchers to include some train-based options, and now entering more widespread operational use, nuclear torpedos to supplement their very substantial submarine force. While it may seem new to
