I am napping in a chimpanzee nest, 12 metres above the ground in Uganda’s Toro-Semliki Wildlife Reserve. Sleep comes easier than you might expect. The nest is surprisingly well-engineered: springy, cupped and stable in a way that feels less like a pile of branches than a purpose-built piece of furniture.

Now, with America about to celebrate its 250th birthday, the Japanese automaker looks to join the festivities by offering a new "Stars and Stripes" motif that's featured on the Frontier's tailgate.

Amid the electrification boom in 2023, the Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV were the two least expensive electric vehicles in the marketplace. Then one day—poof—they were gone.
