In the first-half of 2025, Ford moved 82,589 units. This year, they’ve only managed to sell 24,112 Escapes, which is a difference of 58,477. Dealers still have around 3,000 units remaining in inventory, but they’ll be gone soon enough.</p><p>It’s also worth noting Escape customers aren’t embracing the <a href="https://www.carscoops.com/tag/ford-bronco-sport/">Bronco Sport</a> as sales of that model were down 6.7% in Q2 as well as 1.3% year-to-date.

The whole concept traces back to Suzuki’s mid-engined RS/1 show car from 1985, and Suzuki supplied the 657 cc turbocharged three-cylinder that powers both versions.

It has covered roughly 32,000 km (20,000 miles) since new, and although that’s nearly 10 times the mileage of the AZ-1 that recently sold, the Suzuki still presents in very good shape.

7 Surprisingly Flammable Plants You Should Keep Away from Fireworks

Summers have always been the hottest, driest season, but these days, with a warming climate, temperatures can become extreme. Most of us have seen our gardens dry out during summer, especially during periods of drought and/or high heat and – other than watering in the early morning – there’s not much to do about it. As your landscape gets toasty and the plants get dry, fire risk increases. And that's not to mention 4th of July fireworks. If you’ve leaned into drought
