Over the next 36 months, Toyota is planning on making 31 vehicle announcements, spanning from new car launches to model refreshes and introducing additional trims. At the annual company holiday party in Detroit, Toyota's executive VP of sales North America Bob Carter announced that "31 new announcements" will be made over the next three years, as reported by Roadshow. It's likely that those announcements won't all be for brand new vehicles that have never seen before; instead, we'll probably be seeing various refreshed models introduced from both Toyota and its luxury brand Lexus. All the brands' segments will presumably be getting a new addition of some sort, which means we'll soon be seeing new pickups, sedans, SUVs, and crossovers, electric, hybrid and gas-powered, over the upcoming years. Carter later continued to state that in 2021, we can expect to see, "10 new products, either refreshed products, derivative products or products that are currently not in either of the brands' … [Read more...] about Toyota Plans to Launch Over 30 Vehicles in the Next Three Years

The fact that Kia is building a large seven/eight-seater SUV is about as surprising as discovering that the Twinkie you’ve just bitten into contains an interior chamber, filled with a white, sweet, creamery substance. It’s a move so safe that I’d tell it my bank card PIN, if it asked. People will buy these, because, it seems, that’s all they want to buy anymore. Happily, Kia’s jump on this particular bandwagon is a jump well executed. I can say this because not only did I take the 2020 Kia Telluride on a little road trip, but I slept in it overnight, too, because that’s how you really get to know a car. (Full disclosure: Kia lent me a 2020 Telluride with a full tank of gas for a week so I could review it. I did not need it for transportation as I already own several ridiculous cars but I used it for that anyway.

Advertisement There’s a current craze emerging for standing desks, literally desks that you stand at while working. Having spent the last five years as a self-employed freelance writer who spends most of his days sat at a desk, I’ve experienced back problems as well as instances of the seemingly unavoidable repetitive strain injury. Perhaps a standing desk is the solution to my problems.Unfortunately standing desks cost a small fortune, and I had neither the means or the desire to buy an overpriced piece of furniture that wasn’t guaranteed to do me any good.
