In April 2020, truck sales surpassed those of passenger cars for the first time in the history of the automobile. We started to worry that we might have to start a #SavetheCars campaign to accompany our efforts to #SavetheManuals. But then, as we tend to do, we started to dream up the trucks we would buy if the demise of the car were to happen. Chevy, Ford, Jeep,Ram, and Toyota: Here are the trucks
Car and Driver editors would park in their driveways and take on some epic outdoor adventures:

Sure, the Ford F-150 Raptor is the best way to accumulate frequent flyer miles without actually boarding a plane. But what if driving anything wearing a Blue Oval makes you sick and you could save up to $12,555 and still soar through the air like a hillbilly Amelia Earhart?

A soldier who raped a mother just days after she gave birth has today been sentenced to six years in prison.
Thomas Cowley, 21, a former soldier at the Dalton Barracks in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, sexually assaulted the first-time mother just days after she left hospital having undergone a caesarean section operation.

Introduction
We invited a 2021 Honda CR-V to join our long-term fleet so we could spend some quality time (and 40,000 miles) with Honda s bestseller and the fifth-bestselling vehicle in the United States. We chose the hybrid because it s new to the lineup and because we liked the 212-hp fuel-sipping powertrain in the Accord. In the CR-V, the system boosts fuel economy and performance, making it the choice for buyers who want efficiency and power. Those customers will have to shell out for it, though, given the CR-V Hybrid sits at the top of the range. In addition to shaking down the powertrain and seeing if it can deliver the promised fuel economy, we re hoping this compact crossover the brand s first with hybrid power to make it to the U.S. will give us a glimpse at the future of Honda, which will soon phase out gas-only powertrains in Europe.
As of January 2021, personal and guarantor lenders in the UK can now use open banking as a better way to underwrite and analyse their customers who apply.
With open banking technology, borrowers agree to giving access to their bank statements and transactions during the application process, with the hope that opting in will maximise their chances of approval.
“Open banking is a safe way for you to allow trusted lenders and providers access to your personal financial data,” says David Beard of Lending Expert “Information like your income and spending habits can now be shared with lenders which allows them to make more informed and smarter lending decisions when it comes to applying for credit and loans.”
