The Vatican Chooses Volkswagen To Be Its Sustainable Mobility Partner

In keeping with Pope Francis’ modesty, the Vatican City State has chosen Volkswagen as its vehicles of choice as they transition towards sustainable mobility. Pope Francis, known for his simple taste in official cars is partial to the “People’s Car,” riding in a Golf during the recent World Youth Day and even a Touran during his stay in the Philippines.

Honda’s model naming convention is getting a bit confusing. First, there’s the “Vezel”—a JDM model that countries like the Philippines gets as the “HR-V.” Don’t make the mistake of calling this “HR-V” an “HR-V” in North America though. They get something completely different, and that one’s known as the “ZR-V” elsewhere in the world. To make things even more confusing, there’s this: the JDM version of the Honda WR-V.

This is the all-new 2025 Subaru Forester. We kid you not. Despite looking like a devolution of the current-generation model, the entire sheet metal is new. This is evidenced by its slightly longer length and wider body (wheelbase stays the same). Aside from that though, it’s very clear that the folks over at Subaru desperately need some design help.

Toyota continues refining the Camry by launching its ninth-generation model with a fresh new look, enhanced performance, and standard hybrid powertrain.

If there’s one thing you could say about the Honda CR-V is that it’s comfortable in its own skin. In each of its six generations, there was little need to reinvent the basic recipe. Whereas its competitors all tried to reimagine themselves, this compact SUV stuck to its guns of being a practical, family-friendly compact SUV that happens to be a great all-rounder. This has allowed Honda to carefully refine the formula, improving its strengths, while reducing or eliminating its weaknesses in the process. There’s a Japanese term for that—Kaizen—and the all-new CR-V is an embodiment of that.

The Honda CR-V is essentially doing double duty for Honda. Aside from having to compete against other five-seater compact SUVs, with no mid-sized SUV or pickup-based passenger vehicle (PPV) in their line-up, Honda has opted to offer it with three rows of seats on two of the three available trims.

From a practical standpoint, the Ford Ranger Raptor shouldn’t make sense. Who, in their right frame of mind, would want to drive a pickup truck that’s wider, less practical, and designed for high-speed dirt driving—the sort of terrain the Philippines doesn’t get? A lot of you, apparently. So much so that the Philippines is home to the second most number of Ranger Raptors sold globally, the world leader being Australia. With such a pedigree attached to it, can Ford manage to repeat the first-gen’s success with this all-new next-generation Ranger Raptor? Mostly.
