Traffic Deaths Are Down, But U.S. Still Trails Other Wealthy Nations
There is some good news -- a notable decrease in the number of people killed in crashes on the nation's roads in the first three months of 2025. It is an estimated decline of about 6.3% compared to the same period in 2024. The drop represents the 12th consecutive quarterly decline in fatalities, and the lowest estimated quarterly fatality rate in six years. But some 8,055 lives were still lost. Those are the main highlights of new data released earlier this month by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). 'While traffic fatalities remain far too high, we are encouraged to see such a decline and pledge to continue working to drive down these numbers even more, ' Peter Simshauser, NHTSA's chief counsel, said in a statement. 'NHTSA will continue to use all of its resources to educate Americans about dangerous driving behaviors and advance meaningful policies that will save lives. The agency is also strengthening its relationships with law enforcement to ensure traffic laws are being enforced to save lives.' Deaths decreased in 33 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and increased in 17 states, according to the federal agency's estimates. While the recent news represents progress, road safety experts remain concerned. 'While this decline is welcome news, it is no time to celebrate,' Cathy Chase, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, said in a statement. 'Over 8,000 people are still projected to have died on U.S. roads in just three months. Without swift federal and state action, tens of thousands of people will continue to perish each year on American roadways while millions more are impacted by devastating injuries, emotional trauma and significant financial burdens.' What Chase calls 'the dire situation affecting every category of road user in this country' is particularly striking compared to the advances made in other countries. The United States, once a leader in road safety, has for a number of years lagged behind many other high-income nations with its higher road death rate, according to many international organizations, including the International Transport Forum (ITF), a Paris-based intergovernmental organization with 69 member countries within the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The persistent trend is reflected in the ITF's most recent Road Safety Annual Report 2024, where the U.S. is ranked near the bottom of assessed countries based on population, number of registered vehicles, and miles driven. The U.S. an outlier among high-income countries, Etienne Krug, director of the Department of Social Determinants of Health at the World Health Organization (WHO), the lead road safety agency for the United Nations, told Forbes soon after the 'Global status report on road safety 2023' was released. 'Road deaths in the United States are very high, particularly for a country that has all the financial resources and knowledge to tackle the problem,' Dr. Krug said. 'In fact, in terms of deaths per 100,000 population, the rates of deaths in the U.S are seven times higher than in Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, for example. 'I think there is a lack of political attention and political will. There's probably also the fact that road safety is decentralized and every state has its own legislation and ways of enforcing it or not enforcing it. But it's really something that deserves much more attention because this problem can be successfully addressed, as many high-income countries have shown. ' The report showed that countries such as Denmark, Japan, Norway and the United Arab Emirates had at least a 50% reduction during the previous decade, as did upper-middle-income countries like Belarus and the Russian Federation. 'It's essential to remind people, particularly those in the U.S. because it's a very car-based transportation system, the importance of protecting pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users not protected by an enclosed vehicle,' Dr. Krug added. 'Also, more broadly, in the context of our desperate need to act on climate change and create a more sustainable world, a car-based transportation system is doomed to fail. Such passive transportation is unsafe and unhealthy, as it contributes not only to road deaths, but also to a sedentary lifestyle and to air pollution, which in turn contribute to disease. We need to promote healthier and cleaner alternatives, like walking, cycling and public transport.' For more information, click here, here, and here.

8 Cheap Cars That Make You Look Rich, According to Car Expert Doug DeMuro
Some expensive cars can depreciate dramatically. While that can be a negative for the unfortunate owner trying to sell it, it can also mean an opportunity to buy a premium vehicle for a fraction of the original cost. YouTube car reviewer Doug DeMuro recently singled out eight used models that look good but sell for relatively cheap. Find Out: Read Next: However, be warned — sometimes these cars are cheap for a reason. Repair costs for luxury vehicles can be brutal, especially if the previous owner neglected routine maintenance. Mercedes-Benz E-Class or Volvo V70 Wagon Price: From about $5,000 to $12,000 Why it looks rich: Old-money families drove these wagons long before crossovers took over. Pull up at a prep school carpool, and parents will assume you own a horse farm. Pros Classic, understated styling never screams for attention. Genuine Mercedes or Volvo build quality Cons Aging air-suspension parts can leak and cost more than the car to fix. Fuel economy hovers in the teens, and early infotainment is primitive. DeMuro recommended skipping aftermarket wheels and keeping the body stock so the wagon retains its 'old-money' aura. Be Aware: Maserati GranTurismo (2008-2012) Price: $15,000 to $20,000 Why it looks rich: To 95% of passersby, the first-gen GranTurismo still resembles the 2025 model that lists north of six figures. Pros Pininfarina lines and a Ferrari-derived V8 soundtrack Cabin trims feel bespoke. Cons Early cars often have deferred maintenance and stretched dash tops. Maserati's brand cachet has slipped, so the badge is no longer as premium as it used to be. DeMuro noted running costs are manageable if you buy carefully, but skip any models that look like they were neglected. BMW 5 Series F10 (2011-2015) Price: $6,000 to $11,000 Why it looks rich: The conservative shape whispers 'regional vice president' even when the car has 130,000 miles and three warning lights. Pros The optional twin-turbo V8 in the 550i offers real speed. Spacious cabin and a proper business-class driving position Cons N-series engines can leak oil like a sieve. Cheap coil-over kits, black wheels and tinted lights from the previous owners may kill the upscale vibe. Buy one that hasn't been lowered or wrapped, DeMuro said, and the neighbors will never guess it cost less than a new Kia Rio. Jaguar XK (2007-2010) Price: $10,000 to $15,000 Why it looks rich: Ian Callum's aluminum-bodied coupe has aged well. Even in traffic, it passes as a country club toy. Pros Long hood, short deck and real V8 burble Convertible top drops in 18 seconds for summer drives. Cons Infotainment system lags by a decade. Timing-chain tensioners and cooling pipes can ruin your savings plan. DeMuro called the XK an 'irrational car' but said the beauty-to-dollar ratio is unbeatable. Mercedes-Benz SL (R230, 2003-2006) Price: $7,000 to $10,000 Why it looks rich: A power hard-top convertible bearing the three-pointed star still shouts 'success.' Pros Stout 5.0-liter V8 is more reliable than you'd expect. Roof folds at the push of a button. Cons ABC hydraulic suspension and body control modules fail expensively. Many cars wear gaudy wheels or cheap chrome grilles — avoid them. DeMuro advised choosing a silver model on factory alloys to keep the car impressive. Hyundai Equus (2011-2016) Price: $10,000 to $20,000 Why it looks rich: No Hyundai badges — just a winged emblem on a limo-length hood. Most onlookers think it is a bespoke Korean Maybach. Pros 429-horsepower V8 and pillow-soft rear seats with leg rests Proven reliability compared with German rivals Cons Parts availability can mean dealer-only orders and long waits. Resale value keeps falling, so buy only if you plan to keep it. DeMuro rented one on Turo and calls it 'wafting, smooth and legitimately nice.' Audi A8 D3 (2004-2010) Price: $9,000 to $14,000 Why it looks rich: The understated aluminum flagship says 'architect' rather than 'Instagram influencer.' Pros Quattro all-wheel drive and a torquey 4.2-liter 8 Exterior design still mirrors today's A8. Cons Complex air suspension and MMI electronics age poorly. Ride lacks the pillowy softness of an S-Class of the same year. The connoisseur image endures because, as DeMuro put it, 'The thinking man chose the A8.' Tesla Model X (2016-2017) Price: $20,000 to $30,000 Why it looks rich: Falcon-wing doors draw a crowd, and the silhouette hasn't changed in nine years, so most people confuse a 2016 with a $100,000 2025 Plaid. Pros Instant torque and a 200-plus-mile real-world range Over-the-air updates keep software current. Cons Battery replacement can top $14,000. Early build quality issues include misaligned seals and drive-unit failures. Skip the cheaper Model S or Model 3, DeMuro said — the X is the one that still looks the most premium.

Toyota to enter South Africa's EV market with three models in 2026
By Nqobile Dludla GQEBERHA, South Africa (Reuters) -Toyota plans to introduce three fully-electric models in South Africa in 2026, a senior executive said on Thursday, entering a nascent EV market where Chinese rivals such as BYD are already competing with European carmakers. Volvo currently dominates EV sales in South Africa, followed by BMW and Mercedes-Benz, but Chinese EV makers are starting to flood the market too as they seek new markets amid restrictions on exports to the United States and Europe. Switch Auto Insurance and Save Today! Great Rates and Award-Winning Service The Insurance Savings You Expect Affordable Auto Insurance, Customized for You Toyota currently only sells hybrid electric vehicles in South Africa, but leads with a commanding 67% of the market for hybrids and plug-in hybrids in 2024, with models like its Corolla Cross. "We're launching battery electric vehicles at the beginning of 2026, so we will have three new battery electric vehicles," Toyota South Africa CEO Andrew Kirby told Reuters on the sidelines of an auto components conference, without providing further details. "We do not believe that one powertrain is going to dominate in the future. So we'll have internal combustion engines, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles and potentially even a carbon neutral internal combustion engine." Low incomes, high import duties, unreliable power availability and a lack of sufficient charging infrastructure have long hampered manufacturers' efforts to sell EVs in South Africa, whose share of total sales is still very low. On Chinese competition, Kirby said while he welcomes competition, "it's a very strategic concern for us and we need to make sure that we respond in the right way and as quickly as possible. It's a big challenge." South Africa's automotive sector "is at an inflection point," he added, with fairly flat production volumes, a drop in local content and a surge in imported vehicle sales. This has prompted the big local seven car manufacturers, including Toyota, BMW, Isuzu and Volkswagen, to put together a policy recommendation document sent to the trade and industry minister, on how to support and protect the local industry, Kirby said. "We do have some taxation structures that are a little bit counterproductive and so we've made some fiscally neutral policy proposals," Kirby said, adding that proposals also include the restructuring of the rebate system. "We are hoping that in the next six months there will be some short-term interventions that can be announced." Toyota has production operations in South Africa but its fully EV models will be imported initially, with the aim of making some in South Africa eventually. Sign in to access your portfolio
