The minivan has ticked back up in sales in recent years, and is a surprisingly significant share of sales for those still in the segment–Honda, Toyota, Kia, and Chrysler. The Pacifica minivan is the only model line Chrysler sells–something that has led industry watchers to fear the legendary American brand is on its last legs. Chrysler brand CEO Matt McAlear, who also runs Dodge, says more plans will be revealed at parent Stellantis’s investor day on May 21. In the meantime, the minivan is faring rather well, he said. Affordability is a growing concern for many buyers, and a minivan’s average transaction price is about $20,000 dollars less than that of a large SUV in the US. That is a great value for a buyer that needs a spacious vehicle for ferrying passengers or even cargo, say analysts.

SUVs and pickups have really taken over the US car market. But with average vehicle prices so high, some automakers are still selling healthy numbers of sedans and other low-roofed passenger cars. Kia, Toyota, and Volkswagen, among others have kept sedans in the market, and EVs like the Tesla Model 3 are popular. Detroit automakers Ford and GM have hinted they might want back in.

What Anthropic’s Mythos Means For Crypto Security

source

Meta has launched Muse Spark, its most powerful AI model yet and the first major product from Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang’s newly formed Meta Superintelligence Lab. The release comes as the company ramps capital expenditures to as much as $135 billion this year, nearly double last year’s spend, raising the stakes for every product that emerges from Wang’s lab. Unlike Meta’s previous open-source Llama models, Muse Spark will be proprietary, with plans to eventually offer paid API access, opening a potential new revenue stream. Meta says larger, more capable models are already in development and that Muse Spark is just the foundation on the road to what Zuckerberg and Wang call “personal superintelligence.” CNBC’s Julia Boorstin explores why this launch is such a big deal for Meta.
