Looking back at my purchase of a 2014 Subaru Outback, I've come to the realization that I should have chosen a different trim level. Let me share my story of making the wrong choice and the regret that followed. The Subaru Outback is an excellent vehicle, so I purchased a...

I Regret Buying This Subaru Outback

Subaru doesn't have any models in the five best-selling new SUVs, but it has one in the top ten. The Subaru Forester ranked eighth in the best-selling SUVs list in 2024. With half a year gone, we now have a good evaluation of the top models and car brands. Keep...

My first question about the 2024 Honda Ridgeline TrailSport was, “Can we take it on the extreme course?” I was at Mudfest, an annual off-road vehicle shootout hosted by the Northwest Automotive Press Association (NWAPA). There are two off-road courses at the event, a general one that even relatively pedestrian crossovers like the Hyundai Kona can handle and an extreme one meant for hard-core machines like the Ineos Grenadier. You have to bring a PR person with you on that one. “Absolutely,” replied Honda PR man Brad Nelson, and off we went.

Subaru's 670-HP Monster WRX Is Even Wilder Than We Thought

There’s a lot going on with the 2025 Nissan Frontier, which has been refreshed to better take on the likes of its midsized truck competition. New styling should help, with an updated front fascia, and grille, as well as new tailgate finishers for Pro-X and Pro-4X trims. The paint you see here is new too, dubbed “Afterburn Orange.” Inside, there’s a new dash that houses (in SV and higher trims) a 12.3-inch display with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto functionality. Nissan also adds a telescoping steering wheel as standard along with four-way powered passenger seats on Pro-X, Pro-4X, and SL trims. Any Frontier above the SV trim will also benefit from a six-way powered driver’s seat with two-way lumbar adjustment.

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 refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer debuted back in early February bearing a number of changes including slight exterior styling tweaks, along with a host of interior revisions and the addition of the brand new Ford Digital Experience software. However, along with a pared-down trim level lineup that saw the deletion of the King Ranch trim, the 2025 Ford Explorer was also curiously missing any sort of hybrid powertrain option. Now, we know why that’s the case.

Here’s Why There’s No 2025 Ford Explorer Hybrid

The hybrid SUV and crossover market is rapidly becoming a competitive and popular market in the U.S. for a number of reasons. New car buyers are desperately trying to cut their monthly gasoline bills down, even if that means spending more on an efficient car option. The new generation of hybrid technology also makes cars more efficient than ever while still producing impressive performance outputs. Manufacturers from all corners of the globe are so invested in hybridization, that they're now reeling back their full electrification transition strategies.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. 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.

The issue of trust is a complex topic with many factors behind it. Some zodiac signs are simply known for innately being more cautious or guarded, which can sometimes manifest as difficulty trusting others. Here are 6 signs that tend to be more reserved in their trust:

Opinion - 6 Zodiac Signs that Find it Impossible to Trust Anyone

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.

Mazda has revealed pricing and specifications for the 2025 CX-5, which has been around since 2017. While it's getting up there in age, the CX-5 is one of America's favorite small crossovers, with strong sales since it arrived. Mazda emphasizes value for money for MY2025 by reintroducing the entry-level 2.5 S trim, which comes in at a competitive $28,570. It would appear Mazda has discontinued the 2.5 S Premium trim. CarBuzz has reached out to the automaker for more information.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.
