Kia has a new K8 sedan on sale — for the Korean market, at least. It didn’t exactly set American buyers’ hearts racing when it was on sale here, but the Kia Cadenza was a solid midsize sedan that offered premium features at a budget-friendly price tag. The brand’s midsize sedan didn’t kick the bucket entirely when the Korean automaker withdrew it from the U.S. market in 2020, but it’s instead lived on as the K8. Now, the Korean market Kia K8 gets a bold mid-cycle update, with dramatic styling and a host of interior tweaks to boot.

The full-size Kia Cadenza was discontinued in the United States due to slow sales, but the large sedan lives on in other markets as the K8. The Kia K8 was already an attractive looking vehicle, and it just got more interesting with a mid-cycle refresh. Kia completely changed the front end styling, made improvements to the interior, and offers several different powertrain options, more than the Cadenza ever came with in the US.

Kia phased out the Cadenza from the United States in 2021, but later that year, a replacement was launched in South Korea. In its domestic market, the big sedan had been known as the K7, but for the latest generation, it switched to the K8 moniker. Now, there's a mid-cycle update. In typical Kia fashion, the changes are significant, even though this is technically just a facelift.

When the current fifth generation "R53"Nissan Pathfinder arrived back in 2021 as a 2022 model year car, succeeding the fourth-generation "R52" after nearly eight years, I actually got excited. Not just because I was excited to see its boring, unremarkable, and totally forgettable predecessor go away. But because, in my opinion, the Pathfinder went back to looking like a rugged, four-by-four with its overhaul.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny 8lb dog named Bingo who is looking for her forever home.

Living in the area of Wood Dale, I am always on the hunt to try somewhere local and support them. I remember trying Elio Pizza several years ago and I was not really impressed with the food. However, my biggest complaint was the atmosphere created by the employees. My first interaction felt very cliquey, with preferential treatment given to people they knew instead of new customers.

Although the Honda Civic has made recent headlines with its new hybrid powertrain, the beloved Si trim is sticking around, joined by its own 2025 refresh. The Civic Si has never been short on fun, revered as a reliable, comfortable and affordable commuter angled more towards the performance-inclined. While not as “to the wall” as its Type R sibling, the Si is sporty enough for most enthusiast drivers thanks to its peppy engine and, best of all, six-speed manual transmission.
