First drive photos of the 2016 Scion iM five-door hatchback, shown in both white and silver with dark multi-spoke alloy wheels. Images cover the sport front fascia with projector headlights, the clean hatchback roofline, the driver-side profile, and the 1.8-liter VALVEMATIC four-cylinder engine. The iM was Scion's compact hatchback entry derived from the Toyota Auris, and would become the Toyota Corolla iM after Scion's discontinuation.

Mercedez Benz News 2027 Mercedes-Benz VLE MPV: Electric Luxury Minivan With 434-Mile Range
The VLE probably has better interior space for passengers than a GLS or Escalade, and can offer roomier seating like a big first class airline seats. Better kid hauler too. But this won't sell in the US. Probably works in China. I don't know what the price is going to be, but I feel like people won't pay it, they'll buy an SUV even if it doesn't suit their needs as well.- 800v

Most of that is old stuff. M5 processor is out now and six of those devices are M3s, one is an M2 iPad. The iPhone 15 Pro an Pro Max were not some of Apple's best work and we're on 17 now. I just can't with 4-cylinder turbos on premium aiming products. No one has really fixed the NVH of these engines and they all sound terrible. I'd really rather a small displacement 6 cylinder, say 2.5 liters with a turbo for premium stuff. Buick to Benz, they all sound bad. -

I know. When I was talking about USC, I then went over to Mossimo and Lori Loughlin. They participated in the bribed admissions snafu at USC for their daughters and did time. I rechecked and those two are separated instead of divorced. As for Bezos and his arm candy, only time will tell what that will look like. -

Hmm....I was talking about Lauren Sanchez... they just got married last year. Had been Bezo's girlfriend since 2018. He divorced his first wife in 2019. -

USC grad and I believe a SoCal upbringing. USC was once not that hard to get into. I'm not commenting on her intellectual abilities (she's not a rocket scientist, that's for sure), just the statistics. Admission percentages for freshmen at the best public universities in America have dropped like a lead balloon. I don't know if I'd want to go to a school where Mossimo* and Lori Loughlin* had to swindle the system to get their daughters in. It's also in a somewhat dangerous neighborhood. What it does is beg the question as to who and what she is thinking about when she's got her thighs wrapped around his waist. I'm just calling a spade a spade. * I just did a wiki on them. They got divorced last year. -

She looks like a fake plastic surgery disaster bimbo...no substance there. Just a wannabe Kardashian...- 1

What I was really going to say: Just based on what is being fed to me on my phone and the photos they pose for, it doesn't look like Jeff Bezos is too happy with this trophy wife he bagged. Once you study her more, it looks like most of her existence is about being a poseur. I'm not so sure I like her. -

$45k for an appliance FWD CUV w/ a 4cyl in white w/ a gray interior is pretty depressing to imagine. My Jeep was in that price range 12 years ago, much nicer design inside and out and well equipped w/ a V6 and AWD...and with inflation, the equivalent spec to that on a 2025 is about $53k..same engine and transmission, AWD, same color scheme, trim level and options. My sister's '23 Chevy Equinox LT was $34k out the door new at the end of 2022. She got $15k in trade on her 2015 Trax and paid cash for the difference.- 1

Just for "fun," I priced a GMC Acadia base model (Elevation) with only front wheel drive. I am surprised that most of the colors are extra charge. That's not good. I selected the standard Summit White. Interior colors are either black or gray. I selected gray. I didn't bother to add any flooring or cargo packages. You can always think about those later. Most of the power gizmos on the car come standard. The MSRP with freight was $45,595! Are they even discounting them at the dealer level? How much? Is GM giving any incentives? I'm guessing that the 2.5 L4 is the same one that we've known for years but has a turbo bolted onto it. It comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The landscape sure is different on so many levels. -
