(November 30, 2025) CREWE, England — The very first production Bentley Bentayga, the catalyst for one of the biggest investment programs in the company’s history, left the assembly line at Bentley’s iconic headquarters in Crewe, UK, last week.

Four years on from the initial concept stage, during which time over 1,500 UK jobs have been created, the car — part of an £840 million investment program — will now enter full production, with deliveries to customers starting in January.

(November 29, 2025) Let’s face it, since its launch in 1994, the Camry-based Avalon might as well have been the pace car for the AARP. Though based on a stretched Camry platform, this replacement for the even more “mature” looking Toyota Cressida was a soft riding boulevard cruiser with upright styling and plenty of room for the owner’s walker (or wheelchair) in the trunk. A perennial candidate for the “Last Car You’ll Ever Own” award (think about it), the Avalon was driven by younger (i.e. under 65) folks only when shuttling parents to appointment with their doctors, or when nothing — and I mean nothing, not even a Pontiac Aztek — was left in the rental car lot.

The Volkswagen bus was extremely popular in the United States in the late 60s and through the 1970s. The second-generation bus was built from 1967 through 1979 with gradual changes over the years. This circa 1975 bus was discovered in retirement — and in decent shape — in northern Vermont. (Photo by Jim Meachen)
