2023 Subaru Crosstrek: The renamed replacement for the Subaru XV, the Crosstrek, is due in Australian showrooms in April, with more technology – but the same engines as the previous model, and higher prices. — @drivecomau

The Crosstrek – a name offered on the XV in North America for a decade, but now standard globally – introduces a new look, more modern technology and improved safety systems to Subaru's smallest SUV.

Five model variants – across three equipment levels and two engine choices – are available for the new Crosstrek, with pre-orders open now through the Subaru Australia website.

With a capacity to ship over a million litres of fuel to the landlocked country, the historic vessel built in 1966 has rekindled the fortunes of Lake Victoria as a viable transportation route.

Kenya Railways noted that the 17-hour journey from the lakeside city to Port Bell in Uganda has been made easier and safer compared to the use of trucks.

The "sustainable sneaker" from Asics retails for $128. Asics collaborated with Japanese company Toyoda Gosei to find a better use for left-over airbag fabric from the manufacturing process that would normally be thrown away.

According to the company, the material is strong, flexible, and highly durable, making it a great fit for the upper part of the shoe.

The new model called “Asics Gel-Sonoma 15-50” is a cross-country variant of the Gel-Sonoma trail running shoes. The designers retained the red stitching and numbering that is found in all airbags manufactured by Toyoda Gosei.

The VW Passat was discontinued from North America last year, but European buyers will be blessed with an all-new generation of the popular nameplate, set to debut before the end of 2023. — This thread contains illustrations that are neither related to nor endorsed by VW...

SUVs have pretty much conquered the D-Segment in Europe forcing most automakers to discontinue their medium-sized sedans. However, Volkswagen thinks there is still space for a new Passat in the Old Continent before it becomes an EV-only brand.

The VW Group will lower the R&D costs by jointly developing the next generations of the VW Passat and the Skoda Superb. The former will only come in the more practical Variant bodystyle, unlike the latter which will retain its Sedan and Combi flavors.
