When it comes to the outgoing Chevrolet Equinox, our opinions were... mixed. A perfectly fine compact SUV, it was nevertheless generally bland and featured a turbocharged powertrain with lag akin to turbo cars of a bygone era, only without the power to match. Well, now there is a new gas-fired Equinox for 2025 (there's also a fancy electric one). It’s not exactly all-new given the carryover mechanicals, but it does have a fresh new bod and interior and it seems the bow-tie folks at GM took everyone’s complaints to heart.

We’ve all had our “Oh, crap!” moments—I remember running over my own foot when I used a screwdriver to bridge the starter solenoid in my 1967 Camaro when it was still in gear. I also saw a buddy’s hood nearly ripped off when he failed to latch it all the way. Stuff happens, and if you’re lucky the damage is minimal and you learn a lesson. Sometimes those lessons cost a bit more, when luck takes a vacation, and things go as badly as possible.

As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Land Rover has been throwing burly V-8 engines into its classic Defender line of off-road trucks sporadically since the late 1970s, and the new Defender is regularly available with a V-8. But those old V-8s hardly stack up to a modern engine, hence the inspiration for this new machine blending a classic Defender body with some of that new V-8 flavor. This new restomod featuring a modern engine isn't some third-party deal, either—it comes from the Land Rover Classic Works Bespoke division. Here's what you get, and what it'll cost ya.

A fire broke out in the parking lot of Rivian’s plant in Normal, Illinois, over the weekend, damaging several dozen Rivian vehicles. Aerial photos of a large parking lot outside the factory shows a cordoned-off area containing nearly 60 Rivian R1T electric pickup trucks and R1S electric SUVs, most showing fire damage. A source close to Rivian told MotorTrend the affected vehicles had been set aside for scrapping, though other sources have said that the vehicles were awaiting repair. Local news reports say the fire department responded to the fire just before 9:45 pm on Saturday and that the fire was out by midnight. Standard operating procedure for electric car fires is to let them burn themselves out instead of trying to extinguish them, which accounts for the size and scope of the fire. Crews remained on the scene to monitor the trucks, as is common with EV fires, which have been known to re-ignite. While EV fires tend to make headlines, statistics show that electric vehicles are far less likely to catch fire than internal-combustion vehicles, though EV fires are often more difficult to extinguish. MotorTrend reached out to Rivian for a comment and was told, “We are investigating the cause of a fire that damaged a number of vehicles in a parking lot at our Normal plant late Saturday night. The plant itself is unaffected. There were no injuries.”
