In recent years, electric vehicle development has reached new heights, with brands such as Lucid Motors and Rivian finding new ways to extract the most out of their electric powertrains.

Those who are dismissive of Lexus will generally describe the brand as merely selling expensive Toyotas. That's unfair, in our opinion, as Lexus does some wonderful things with Toyota's platforms, creating an entirely new dynamic. That being said, the Lexus ES lineup isn't exactly mind-blowing. What it is is a sedan with a soft, isolated ride boasting a comfortable premium interior wrapped up in Lexus style. The total package is a car that provides serious value for money if you're not looking for something that will provide some semblance of fun when driving. If that's what you want from sedan, you best look elsewhere. However, if understated elegance, fuss-free driving, and the benefits of a hybrid powertrain are on your priority list, read on.

It’s a strange time to be an auto enthusiast. As an outpouring of all-electric models hits the market, long-standing nameplates that were once mainstays of our automotive landscape are falling to the wayside on what feels like a weekly basis. With the arrival of the next-generation Audi A5, we bow our heads in remembrance of the fallen as the German automaker discontinues the A4 sedan in favor of a slimmed-down car platform. While we mourn the loss of yet another low-slung gas-powered car, Audi has given us plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the code-named B10 A5.

Is there still a place for the MX-5 in 2024 Britain?. It's no understatement to say the MX-5 is the world's most popular two-seat sports car. Before BG24 FCC arrived, I have to admit I took very little notice of how many baby Mazdas were sharing the road with me, but now I’m behind the wheel of one, I’m seeing them everywhere (well, not often in the supermarket car park... more on that another time).

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
