The Kia Seltos, situated between the Soul and Sportage, received a facelift for the 2025 model year. However, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) deemed the 2024 model deficient in six areas, including the updated moderate overlap front crash test. The IIHS uses a four-tier rating system: good, acceptable, marginal, and poor. The Seltos fell short of a good rating, with the driver potentially suffering leg or foot injuries in a moderate overlap front crash. Additionally, the rear passenger’s shoulder belt moved excessively upward, compromising safety. 2025 Kia Seltos Facelift (IIHS on YouTube) Further shortcomings included a marginal rating…

Image source: Getty Images I think I’ve found a hidden gem. It’s called MP Evans Group (LSE:MPE) and three analysts currently cover it. The average 12-month price target these bankers have on the shares indicates a 32% increase in price. Furthermore, with a 5% dividend yield for passive income, if those forecasts are right, I could have a total return of 37% on my hands in just one year. The palm oil business MP Evans focuses on producing sustainable crude palm oil in five provinces across Indonesia. It also has a stake in a property company in Malaysia. The company’s…

The Plymouth Barracuda, a formidable predator of the sea, has an equally fearsome counterpart in the automotive world. While the aquatic Barracuda is known for its predatory nature and snake like appearance, the automotive Barracuda, a two door pony car produced by Chrysler from 1964 to 1974, was introduced to challenge Ford’s Mustang. Originally based on the compact Valiant, the Barracuda was initially overshadowed by the Mustang’s success. However, with each generation, the Barracuda evolved, becoming more distinct and powerful, eventually earning its reputation as a “predator on wheels.” 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S (Motor) The first-generation Barracuda, introduced in…

In 1962, Chrysler introduced…
