The Lexus LC500 is not doing very well. After a banner year of 2,782 sales in 2021, Lexus moved fewer than half that many units in 2022.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

The Chrysler PT Cruiser played a significant role in kick-starting the compact crossover craze.

It's not a big surprise that the manual-transmission SUV is next up on the chopping block for vehicles sending the manual the way of the dodo. The appeal of the manual gearbox largely has to do with driver engagement. The appeal of the sports utility vehicle is mostly down to convenience in the modern automotive landscape. These two qualities are, if not incompatible, at least difficult to counterbalance. Then you add cost concerns into the mix, and it's easy to see why SUV makers would rather avoid spending millions developing a new stick shift and passing the expenses on to the buyer in a segment that frequently competes on price alone.
