Updated infotainment system is comprehensive
Great for long-haul trips
Some cabin trim can be plasticky
Seats could be a little plusher
I would rather own a 2021 Chrysler Pacifica AWD than most burly three-row SUVs with similar price tags, and I think you should want one too. It’s not being intentionally contrary these days to voice some affection for the minivan, almost as overlooked as the wagon but arguably far more practical than the SUVs and crossovers which currently dominate North American vehicle sales.
I get it, there’s a fog of “uncool” still casting its shadow over minivans, not to mention the memory of early iterations in the segment.

Japanese car-maker marks 10th anniversary with style upgrades and new tech for battery-powered hatch
Nissan has announced it will chime in the 10th anniversary of the pure-electric Nissan LEAF with a new commemorative special-edition that will be launched in 2021.
The new edition, called the LEAF10, is set to be offered in global markets where the Nissan LEAF is already sold, although the anniversary EV has yet to be confirmed for Australia.
Benefiting from exterior styling upgrades, in the flesh the Nissan LEAF10 gets a new two-tone Ceramic Grey and Pearl Black paint, plus a new vinyl wrap applied to the door mirrors, roof and tailgate that’s claimed to feature a pattern inspired by the new next-gen Nissan Ariya SUV’s front grille design.

Nissan announced a special version version of the LEAF model in Europe, the
LEAF10, to celebrate 10 years of the first mass-market electric car.
Since December 2010, Nissan sold more than 500,000 LEAFs globally and Europe was its largest market with over 180,000 sold. In the U.S., it s now above 151,000, while in Japan sales exceeded 146,000.
a new bold body color and exterior detailing: LEAF10 has been embellished with a striking and intricate Kumiko pattern that adorns the wing mirrors, roofline and boot lid. The patterning perfectly complements the all-new sleek name badge, which sits proudly on its C-pillar.
The new Nissan Leaf10 will go on sale in Europe starting this February, offering a unique specification with a new exterior color and model-specific detailing, together with more kit as standard.
The new special edition of the Nissan Leaf will be available in limited numbers but the carmaker didn’t specify how many.
The most distinguishing feature of the new Nissan Leaf10 is perhaps the pattern detailing that adorns the wing mirrors, roofline, and boot lid. The intricate Kumico-inspired pattern also includes the model’s name on the C-pillar and is combined with a brand-new two-tone Ceramic Grey and Pearl Black color option. Customers can also choose the standard Pearl Black Metallic. In addition, all N-Connecta models ride on a set of 17-inch alloy wheels, to make the Nissan Leaf look “more dynamic”.

You get an idea of what a custom build is supposed to be used for as soon as you set your eyes on it. Generally, these highly modified machines are meant to be admired more than anything else, but there are exceptions that not only look good but could also be used for some thrills. 4 photos
We hope the 1972 Bronco shown here is part of the latter category. Waiting on the lot of cars that will go under the Barrett-Jackson hammer in March in Scottsdale, Arizona, the SUV is a much more aggressive incarnation of its former self, apparently ready to roll through fun and Armageddon while keeping its occupants as safe as possible.
