How Much Will The Slate Truck SUV Conversion Kit Cost (And Do You Have To Install It Yourself)? - Jalopnik
What's an SUV, exactly? Well, if you're Slate, and you just call your base model pickup a Blank Slate, then the vernacular gets surprisingly confusing. Slate calls the boxier version with a second-row bench seat and three extra airbags a Squareback SUV. The rig in the shot above is the Fastback SUV. Got all that? Good. The Blank Slate runs $24,950. Although Slate's $1,450 destination charge brings the actual base price to $26,400. Luckily, the destination charge is the same regardless of body configuration. The Squareback SUV costs $29,950 ($31,400 with destination). That's exactly $5,000 more than the Blank Slate — meaning that's what the SUV conversion kit costs directly from the factory. The $31,950 ($33,400 with destination) Fastback SUV is the sportiest, and likely, more cramped SUV body style. We don't know how much interior volume falls because Slate only lists 58 cubic feet regardless of configuration.
You Know Gas Is Expensive When Even Republican Voters Stop Supporting A War In The Middle East - Jalopnik

Modern Republican presidents love going to war in the Middle East, and generally speaking, Republican voters love it when they do. Weeks after Trump attacked Iran, about 70% of Republicans and Republicans who prefer to be called Independents said they approved of Trump's decision, just like they overwhelmingly supported both invasions of Iraq and the war in Afghanistan. With gas prices back over $4 a gallon once again, though, even self-identified MAGA Republicans are losing faith. According to the latest Politico poll, about 2/3 of MAGA voters say they no longer believe the war is worth the economic cost.
Watch and Listen to the Newest Toyota MR2 Development Car Go Testing at Fuji Speedway
- A new set of photos and a video posted to Twitter show what appears to be a Toyota MR2 test mule lapping Fuji Speedway in Japan.
- The mule appears to be based on the GR Yaris hatchback, and we think it's the seventh of at least 20 iterations of MR2 development cars.
- The MR2 prototype in the social media post wears mismatched bodywork and hides a mid-engine setup.
The Toyota MR2's return continues to march closer. A new set of spy photos along with a video showing an MR2 development mule were posted to Twitter by a user who happened to stop by the Fuji Speedway Motorsport Museum in Japan at exactly the right time.
The 'Road Rover' Is Real: New Range Rover GT Is A Badly Named Electric Crossover-Coupe-Sedan-Thing - Jalopnik
Land Rover
For years now we've been hearing speculation and rumors that Land Rover would be introducing a road-focused Range Rover model that was colloquially called the "Road Rover," with magazines publishing renderings of low-slung, sedan-like crossovers. Land Rover itself even trademarked the Road Rover name. Despite those persistent reports, the automaker never indicated that it was actually working on such a vehicle, but Road Rover rumors kicked into high gear in early 2025 when mysterious prototypes started being spied with decidedly car-like rooflines and stances.
With 591 Horsepower, the Audi SQ7 is the Family SUV for the Chronically Late
MSRP
By Drew DorianOverview
Want an SUV with speed, luxury, and practicality in equal doses? The Audi SQ7 offers that trifecta, with a premium interior, three rows of seats, and a 591-hp twin-turbo V-8 engine. An adaptive air-spring suspension system is standard, which is meant to help the SQ7 deliver dual-purpose transit with a softer ride for commuting and a stiffer setup for weekend corner carving.
Acura Is Reportedly Planning a New Three-Row SUV Flagship That'll Slot Above the MDX
- Acura is developing a larger three-row SUV that'll sit atop its lineup, according to a report by Automotive News.
- The new SUV will reportedly offer a lot more third-row legroom and feature the same hybrid powertrain found in the next-generation Acura RDX and Honda Accord.
- Dubbed the "Acura XL," plans are still in the preliminary phase, and production isn't expected to start until September 2029.
In 2008, Acura teased an ambitious plan to introduce five new products to its lineup. Then the financial crisis happened, and the brand's aspirations for a V-8-powered, rear-wheel-drive platform were thrown in the bin. Acura scaled down its five-vehicle proposal and filed away the rest of its notebooks.
Lamborghini's New V-8 Supercar Outmuscles Its V-12 Big Brother in Our Acceleration Testing
When I toured Lamborghini's plant during the Revuelto launch, I spied a Temerario off in a corner. Not much was said about it, but the implication was that it was destined to be the little brother to the Revuelto. Now we've tested it, and nothing can be further from the truth. Sure, it costs about $200,000 less and is decidedly smaller, at nearly 10 inches shorter, but both of those factors work in the Temerario's favor.

As the junior Lamborghini supercar, you'd think the Temerario would maintain a respectful distance from the Revuelto in terms of performance. It doesn't.

My wife and I were looking for a fun little summer car to enjoy and came across this pale blue Figaro at a local enthusiast dealership. It was fun while it lasted, but it was more trouble than it was worth, and it wasn't fun enough to keep around. I liked this car, but I never really loved it.

This week, the U.S. House of Representatives plans to vote on a bill that could make daylight saving time a permanent fixture for the country. No longer will most Americans be a slave to changing every digital clock in the house twice a year, and studies find that the country could benefit in preventing some fatal crashes associated with the lost hour in the spring time change.
