2025 Volvo XC90 T8 PHEV

Posted on by

When you need something big but still want to have efficiency. . .

By Gary S. Vasilash

For good reason the folks at Volvo are chuffed with the EX90.

That’s the company’s flagship, seven-passenger SUV. The one that’s all electric.

But the vehicle in question here has a slight modification of the alphanumeric designation: XC90.

It is the company’s flagship, seven-passenger SUV. That features a gasoline engine.

In this case it is a 310-hp, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged engine.

But also in this case, that engine is supplemented by an AC electric motor.

A hybrid powertrain.

And as a result, the output is a maximum 455 hp.

When I had the XC90 a colleague, who races—and I mean at places like Sebring, not up and down Woodward or Telegraph–, said, “Oh, you’ve got the quick one.”

Think on that a moment.

Here’s a vehicle that is 195 inches long, 76.1 inches wide, 69.7 inches high.

A vehicle that has three rows.

A vehicle that provides, with the second and third rows folded, 85.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity.

And my colleague described it as “quick.”

No, he wasn’t suggesting that this is something he’s going to take to the track.

But he was pointing out that for something of its size, something that is largely meant to be about getting from here to there and Costco in between, it really moves well.

The Distance

As mentioned, this is a hybrid. But it is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV).

Which means that on the driver’s side front quarter panel there is what seems to be a fuel door—but that’s on the passenger’s side rear quarter panel.

The one on the front is the socket to charge the vehicle. A Level 2 charger will get it filled in about five hours.

The point of a plug-in hybrid versus, well, a hybrid, is that there is a comparatively extended all-electric range.

The XC90 PHEV provides up to 32 miles running on electricity alone.

However, the estimated combined fuel—as in gasoline—economy is 27 mpg.

So given that there is an 18.8-gallon tank, if you were to want to leave yourself a margin of 0.8 gallons, you could drive for 486 miles.

In other words, no worry.

The Difference

One of the things that one might say is that there are plenty of three-row SUVs out there, even luxury hybrids (BMW, Lexus, Land Rover, Lincoln. . .).

So how does one decide?

I think all else being relatively equal, one of the places the XC90 is really an achiever is in the interior execution.

While other brands all have seats that move this, that and the other way, all you have to do is open the door and look at the driver’s seat of the XC90 and you know that this is purposeful Scandinavian design.

If you’re driving 32 miles or 486 miles, you’re in the seat. It might as well be a superb one.

Portable Power Quiet and Clean

Posted on by

Honda knows more than a little something about internal combustion engines that are smooth, quiet and low-emissions. These are used for new generators.

By Gary S. Vasilash

When power goes out—or you need power in places where a plug isn’t readily available—some companies are suggesting that the solution is using one’s vehicle to power whatever.

This, of course, is an electric or a hybrid vehicle.

Which is a reasonable idea. Except in cases where someone might actually need to go somewhere in that vehicle. That would result in no power.

So an alternative is a gas generator.

However, there are a couple of issues related to these.

One is that they can be rather noisy.

Another, for those living in California, is that emissions regulations can make gas generators unobtainable.

You could buy an electric pickup truck and use it when your power goes out, or you could simply buy one of these and get whatever vehicle you want–and can afford. (Image: Honda)

Honda Power Sports & Products has cleverly engineered two generators that meet both U.S. EPA Phase 3 emissions standards and California Air Resources Board (CARB) Tier 4 compliance requirements.

Consequently, those in California can go to a local retailer and pickup the Honda EU33200i Super Quiet Series and/or the EU7000is Super Quiet Series.

The names indicate the noise attenuation.

The first-named produces 3,200 watts of power and the latter 7,000 watts.

2025 Hyundai Kona Limited AWD

Considering the execution of the Kona. . .

By Gary S. Vasilash

During the development of the 11th-generation Ford F-150 (2004-2008) J Mays was the vice president of Design at Ford.

One of the briefs that the design team had was to improve the interior design of the truck.

During a presentation at the Ford design facility in Dearborn Mays pointed out that while the exterior sheet metal gets people in a vehicle—they go to the showroom, see it, and if they like it get into it—but the interior design keeps them there.

If you think about it, vehicle interiors are far more important than exteriors.

Yes, it may be that seeing whatever in your driveway puts a smile on your face whenever you go out to get into it.

But that lasts a few moments and when you are in the vehicle there are a whole lot of moments spent behind the wheel.

According to autoinsurance.com the average time spent driving to work in 2024 was 26 minutes. So that would be a roundtrip time of 52 minutes. Five days a week, then that’s more than four hours.

Yes, the interior environment in a vehicle matters. A lot.

The Vehicle Then & Now

Which brings me to the Hyundai Kona.

I am a fan of the exterior of the first-generation (model years 2018-2023) Hyundai Kona. It added significant amounts of style to the small SUV category, a category that was (and pretty much continues to be) dominated by designs that are readily forgotten.

Kona then–first generation. (Photos: Hyundai)

The exterior design is sporty. And at least in terms of cargo capacity, it is reasonably utile: 19.2 cubic feet of cargo space with the second row up and 45.8 cubic feet with the seat down.

But that was then and this is now.

Kona now–second generation.

The second-generation Kona was launched in model year 2024. Driven here is 2025.

And the exterior sheet metal is in my estimation less sporty and more, well, manhwa (i.e., the Korean term for “manga”).

Lots of Room

But the utility quotient is way up, with cargo capacity being 25.5 cubic feet behind the second row and 63.7 cubic feet with the seatback folded.

Similarly, the passenger volume is way up: it is 94.1 cubic feet (w/o sunroof) for the first-generation Kona; it is 101.2 cubic feet for gen two.

Lots of Tech

And the interior of the second-generation Kona is a nice place to be because it is exceedingly well done.

I just took a quick drive to the store in the Kona. While waiting behind a few cars to make a left turn, when the car ahead of the Kona moved and I didn’t immediately react, a “bing” and a message on the gauge screen pointed out that the car had moved way.

When I got home it pointed out that I should look in the rear seat as I had opened the rear door to put in groceries.

While that rear-seat notification is now common (according to the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which organized voluntary commitments among its members in 2019 for rear-seat reminder systems, as of November 2024 there were 263 models available with the tech), the Leading Vehicle Departure Alert is rare.

And there’s Blind Spot View Monitor. Flick the turn signal to either direction and there is an appropriate live camera image of that side of the vehicle shown in the gauge cluster. While this is available only in the Limited trim, the Limited AWD driven here has an MSRP of $33,400.

“Smaht. Very Smaht.”

And for that you get a vehicle with that, remote smart parking assist (“Smaht Pahk” as the 2020 TV commercial with John Krasinski, Rachel Dratch and Chris Evans put  it), a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, another 12.3-inch navigation screen, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated leather covered steering wheel (and on the subject of leather: the seating surfaces are H-Tex, a faux leather which is convincing), a proximity keyfob with pushbutton start (keep the key in your pocket or purse: the door unlocks and you can start the vehicle), and an overall look of clean, contemporary design on the inside of the vehicle.

The vehicle is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine that produces 190 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. It is stickered at 24 mpg city, 20 mpg highway and 26 mpg combined, which is pretty much what I got while driving it.

Thoughtful

One of the striking things about the Kona is that it has what I consider a “deliberate design.”

Sure, all vehicles have a design brief and to the extent that’s executed, their designs are deliberate.

But it seems there is a considerably stronger level of consideration applied here, both inside and out.

What’s more, the technology that are part of the package tends to be the sort of things that other OEMs put in vehicles that are much higher in price.

An Aston Martin Quiz

Posted on by

A heritage moment. . . .

By Gary S. Vasilash

Quick quiz.

This is Marek Reichman, Aston Martin Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer comments. What is he talking about?

“Bowmore ARC-54 continues the cutting edge, technology-based collaboration between two exceptional brands that are steeped in heritage and tradition. It embodies the innovative thinking that we apply to Valkyrie and Valhalla, our mid-engined sports cars.”

If you guessed the Bowmore ARC-54 is a car, you’re wrong.

It is something that probably shouldn’t be associated with cars, or at least not used with cars.

It is a limited-edition whisky (130 decanters total) distilled by Bowmore, a distillery that’s been in operation since 1779.

Don’t drink while driving. (Image: Aston Martin)

This whisky—aged in 2nd Fill European Oak Sherry Butt and 3rd Fill American Oak Hogshead; 61.8% European Oak aged spirit and 38.2% American Oak aged spirit, the two parts are united for 15 months—is 54 years old.

Dr. Calum Fraser, Bowmore Chief Blender, said:

“A Bowmore as exquisite and complex as this 54-year-old is testament to the skills of our distillery team, but also the very embodiment of what can be achieved simply by slowing down, standing still and letting things unfold as they are destined to. This rare creation truly demonstrates just how Bowmore ages exceptionally over time, with unmatched precision and clarity. As guardians of this spirit, we strive to harness the power of the past in every drop that we create – whilst constantly reimagining Bowmore for the next generation that will experience our whiskies.”

The “slowing down” is somewhat ironic in that Aston Martin is about going fast.

Incidentally: in 1968 Aston Martin produced the DBS.

James Bond drove one in the movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Unfortunately, that was a George Lazenby Bond.

2025 Lexus LX 700h Overtrail

Posted on by

Yes, it is built to take it. But how many are going to take it to places where that matters?

By Gary S. Vasilash

One of the consequences of the COVID pandemic, when people didn’t get on airplanes and go places and pretty much avoided people to the extent the could, was the “overlanding” phenomenon. The point of this was to climb into one’s vehicle and drive someplace where the odds of encountering other people up close was minimal at most. And if you did encounter them, you were outside, which meant wind was your friend, blowing the stuff away.

This gave the rise to more people buying vehicles that could take them places where their conventional SUVs wouldn’t take them because their SUVs were based on platforms that also underpinned cars, so they were insufficiently robust.

Solid Base

The Lexus LX 700h (as well as the other LX variants in the lineup) is based on the global Toyota GA-F platform. It has frame. It isn’t a unibody like those aforementioned SUVs.

The GA-F platform is also used for the Toyota Land Cruiser 300, Tundra, Sequoia, Tacoma, and 4Runner.

Those vehicles—especially the Tacoma and 4Runner—are often used in driving situations where even trails are left behind. And they take it.

Off-Road Enablers

So the LX has some fundamental bona fides when it comes to the ability to drive on surfaces that aren’t leading to the valet stand at the country club.

It has some 8.07 inches of ground clearance, an approach angle of 23 degrees and a departure angle of 21 degrees.

There are front and rear locking differentials.

There are Active Height Control and Adaptive Variable Suspension. Multi-Terrain Select (four modes when driving in four low (Auto, Sand, Mud, Rock) and five modes in four high (Deep Snow in addition to the others). There are Crawl Control—which is essentially like Cruise Control but when in four low—and Turn Assist, which facilitates a reduction in the turning circle of the vehicle when Crawl Control is on (though the driver does the turning).

There is a clever Multi-Terrain Monitor, that uses four cameras, the images from which are stitched together so that there is an image on the 12.3-inch display in the center console that allows the driver to “see” beneath the front of the vehicle, which is very handy when traversing terrain that is tough.

The vehicle rides on 33-inch tires and 18-inch wheels.

Hybrid Setup

The “h” in the nomenclature of the vehicle signifies that it is a hybrid.

There the powertrain uses a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 supplemented by motors so the system output is a stalwart 459 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque.

One of the benefits of the hybrid system for those doing overlanding (in addition to the stickered 19 mpg city/22 mpg highway/20 mpg combined) is that when Multi-Terrain Select is engaged the vehicle can be powered by the electric motors alone, sans engine, for more precise control of speed.

The nickel-metal hydride battery is packaged in a waterproof container that allows water fording of up to 27.5 inches.

What’s more, in the event that there is something awry with the hybrid system, the LX, unlike other Lexus hybrids, features an alternator and starter so the V6 can be operated on its own.

And they even addressed the Shore hardness of the foam used for the seats for the Overtrail, making it easier on the occupants when traversing trying terrain.

All of which is to say it is engineered to be considerably capable.

Design Cues

Arguably the exterior design of the vehicle was executed during the pandemic, taking into account the seeking of vehicles that have a stout appearance.

A special color, Earth, was developed for the Overtrail.

On the interior there are either Black or Stone Brown leather trim and Black open-pore wood accents.

All of that said. . .in this execution, the LX 700h Overtrail doesn’t seem like a Lexus.

There is something about the brand, with its vehicles generally combining luxury, technology and style. In this case it seems to be more about the mechanical from a technical point of view. The luxury is overwhelmed (sure the materials are first-rate on the inside) by what I found to be oppressive darkness.

The style of the exterior seems too much like a truck and the style of the interior seems somewhat pedestrian.

On the one hand, this is probably a means by which Lexus can garner a few more global customers for something with off-road credentials.

But on the other, Toyota has things like the Land Cruiser which is meant for those circumstances.

Sometimes extensions aren’t a good idea, but as they have the makings on hand, it probably won’t matter much, either way.

E-Scooters: Analyzing the Accidents

Posted on by

Take care when you take a ride. . .

By Gary S. Vasilash

Although COVID took a whack at micromobility systems in the U.S., there is something of a comeback, with some 130 cities in the U.S. offering e-scooter sharing systems from companies including Lime and Bird.

A study of e-scooter crashes in urban environments was conducted by Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, and funded by the Swedish Transport Administration (as Chalmers is in Sweden).

Seventeen rental scooter were setup with sensors.

Data from 6,868 trips were acquired and analyzed.

One of the findings was, well, somewhat unsurprising: Marco Dozza, who participated in the study, said, “The risk of being involved in a crash is greatest the first time you ride an electric scooter. For those who have ridden less than five times, the risk is still more than twice as high.”

Perhaps part of this has something to do with how some people pilot the scooters, thinking it is analogous to a bicycle.

It isn’t.

Dozza: “It is not possible to steer and brake with an electric scooter in the same way as with a bicycle, so riding with one hand on the handlebar is significantly more difficult – and dangerous – than many people might think.”

One-handed riding increases the risk of a “safety-critical event” by 6.5 times.

One surprise about the vehicles involved with e-scooters in these events: the greatest percentage didn’t involve other scooters, but cars.

30.2% of safety-critical incidents were between an e-scooter and a car or van. 19% with other scooters. 15.9% with pedestrians. 4.8% with bicycles.

Dozza: “Since bicycles and electric scooters should be ridden on bike lanes, I had expected more conflicts with bicycles. The fact that so many cars are involved suggests that many crashes may occur when the electric scooter is ridden outside the bike lanes, or when there is no bike infrastructure available. The risk of crashes is greatest at intersections, and my impression, even though this is not something that the study has concluded, is that it may be difficult for motorists to see the electric scooter riders in time, especially if they are not riding on a bike path.”

This all makes e-scooter commuting seem rather risky.

Nissan Knife: The Wrong Thing

Posted on by

Shouldn’t everyone at Nissan be focused on appealing vehicles, not sharp knives?

By Gary S. Vasilash

Somehow this doesn’t seem. . .right.

Nissan, as is well known, is having some overall market difficulties.

Nissan Design America has taken this moment to collaborate with Chef Hiroyuki Terada and knifemaker Kiryu.

The collaboration has created the Z NISMO Precision Sushi Knife.

Sure, it is sharp, but. . . . (Image: Nissan)

According to Nissan, this execution was performed because Precision, Performance and Expertise are qualities that the Nissan Z car and Japanese knife-making share.

Last year in the U.S. Nissan sold 3,164 Z models in the U.S.

That is a small number. But it is a 78.7% increase over the previous year.

It is two more vehicles that Alfa Romeo Stelvios sold in the U.S. in 2024. Not exactly a vehicle that is top of mind.

The point is: Nissan needs to move more metal.

And not the kind used to produce knife blades.

The company ought to be 100% focused on products of a vehicular type.

Sure, the Z NISMO Precision Sushi Knife may be a bit of a diversion.

But it really can’t afford people paying attention to anything else than vehicles.

2025 Mazda CX-30 2.5 S Carbon Turbo

Posted on by

It isn’t often you can find a vehicle of this type that is (1) affordable and (2) actually fun to drive.

By Gary S. Vasilash

In 2024 Mazda North American Operations reported “record-breaking” sales. It sold 424,382 vehicles.

Of that total, 46,980 were cars. The remainder, 377,402 were crossovers.

The cars consisted mainly (as in 38,877) in the form of Mazda3s. The MX-5 Miata made up the balance in the car calculations.

But look at all of the crossovers.

The point is, Mazda has made a concerted shift away from the cars. Many driving enthusiasts who knew they needed to buy cars mainly for purposes of daily transportation would often opt for a Mazda because (1) it had sporty driving dynamics, (2) it was affordable and (3) it would do what needed to be done in terms of simply getting you to work or school in an appealing package.

Years ago at a press conference where an SUV was being introduced a writer for one of the buff books asked a company exec, “I get the utility part, but what about the sport?”

That must have been 20 years ago.

And in that time, while there has been an explosion of SUVs (or some would say “CUVs,” because most of them are based on car platforms so they are considered “crossovers,” but what isn’t taken into account is that many SUVs are based on truck platforms, so aren’t they crossovers, too?), the levels of stylistic sportiness, either in terms of the exterior sheet metal or the powertrain and chassis combination have been lacking.

Even the utility isn’t what one might think. People interested in carrying people and goods would be better off getting a minivan.

Mazda CX-30. You can carry things. And enjoy the driving experience while doing so. (Image: Mazda)

The Mazda CX-30 is sporty and it is comparatively affordable, with the trim driven here having an MSRP of $32,940, which is well under the average transaction price for a vehicle nowadays such that even though it is a bit so-so on the miles per gallon front—22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, combined 25 mpg—you’d have cash left over for filling the tank quite readily, even if you opt to fill it with premium. Why would you do that? Because on premium the turbo-charged four produces 250 hp. On regular gas the output is 227 hp. So sportier is simply a bit more expensive.

The engine is mated to a six-speed automatic. There are paddles should you desire to shift-it-yourself, of course.

The vehicle features Mazda’s i-Activ AWD system, which monitors where the torque needs to go, and G-Vectoring Control Plus, which both adjusts torque and braking when cornering.

Chassis-wise, the front suspension is MacPherson strut with a stabilizer bar and in the rear a torsion-beam setup.

All of which goes to the point of this being sporty.

There is utility, too, given the configuration of the vehicle, offering 20.2 cubic feet with the rear seat in place (per EPA) and 45.2 cubic feet with the seat back folded (per SAE).

Given this is the S Carbon Turbo trim, there is an appropriate use of fitting materials, such as terracotta leatherette/suede seat coverings, as well as a suede material on the IP. The IP has a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen. There are, of course, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and even Alexa.

The bottom line: this is sport. And utility.

Where Do Displays Come From?

Posted on by

The answer to that question isn’t “around here” unless you live somewhere like Shenzhen

By Gary S. Vasilash

Any new vehicle worth considering—or so it seems—has a gauge cluster and accompanying infotainment screen that brings to mind all of the digital signage in Harry Reid International Airport (formerly McCarran) in Las Vegas touting everything from tired rock acts (which explains why they’re in “residence” rather than on the road: they’re tired) to shows that you would want to see but would have a hard time explaining once you returned from that business trip.

Omdia’s Automotive Display Intelligence Service has calculated that in 2024 there were shipments of 232 million automotive display panel shipments, an increase of 6.3% over 2023.

The firm attributes much of the growth to demand in China.

Speaking of which, it is surprising to see the companies that are global leaders in the auto display business: companies that you’ve probably not heard of.

How many names do you recognize? (Image: Omdia)

The top producer is BOE, which had a market share of 17.6%. It shipped 40.9 million units.

It was followed by Tianma, with a 15.9% market share and shipments of 36.9 million displays.

A name with some familiarity, LG Display, was fifth, with a 7.7% share and 17.98 million shipments.

According to Stacy Wu, Omdia senior principal analyst, “Looking ahead, LCD fab capacity for automotive displays will become increasingly concentrated in advanced production lines, particularly G6 LTPS and G8 a-Si/Oxide fabs in China. While this shift enhances production efficiency, it also presents challenges in supply chain diversification as automakers and tier 1 suppliers navigate an increasingly complex global trade environment.”

Which probably means that the vast majority of displays used throughout the world come from China, and in places like the U.S., with the new tariff regime, they are likely to become increasingly expensive.

Enhanced production efficiency can get you only so far.

2025 Mazda CX-90 S Premium Plus

Posted on by

In which we wonder a bit about engine nomenclature. . .

By Gary S. Vasilash

As everyone doesn’t know, a Newton is the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram object one meter per second second. So a Newton meter is essentially the measurement of a forward push.

Another way of looking at it (which is similarly less helpful for understanding because unless you have a master’s degree. . .in Science! you are likely not to get this, either) is that a Newton-meter is the unit of torque in the International System of Units (SI).

In this part of the world, where we don’t much cotton to things of an international nature, we use foot-pounds instead when it comes to torque.

One Newton-meter is equal to 0.73756215 pound-force-feet.

Got that?

In March 2019, when internal combustion was still the thing and people weren’t concerned about kWh and the like, Cadillac, undoubtedly wanting to get its international bona fides in order, decided on a new nomenclature system for its vehicles predicated on torque figures in Newton-meters. But because some of those numbers can be somewhat awkward, a decision was made to round up to the nearest 50 so there would be a nice round number used on the exterior badging.

Guess it is hard to come up with things to name the various vehicles in your showrooms.

Generally speaking, there has been the use of engine names on vehicles with varying levels of success over the years. Ford using “EcoBoost” had its moment. GM’s “Ecotec” didn’t have much in the way of resonance.

The all-time champ, one that can still achieve knowing nods, is the Dodge HEMI.

Someone can have absolutely no idea of what a horsepower is, to say nothing of a Newton-meter, and still know that the HEMI badge means bad-ass performance.

Which is a roundabout way of getting to the Mazda CX-90 S Premium Plus, a three-row SUV built on Mazda’s electrified Large Platform.

And if you think “Mazda” and something diminutive like the Miata (officially known as the MX-5), then the CX-90 may come as something of a surprise because it is nothing if not sizable: 122.8-inch wheelbase; 200.8 inches long; 78.5 inches wide; 68.2 inches high.

It provides 57 cubic feet of space for those in the front row; 51 cubic feet for those in the middle; 35 cubic feet for those in the rear (OK, a bit tight, but. . .).

And in terms of cargo capacity, there is 75 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded and 16 cubic feet if the seat backs are vertical.

But you’re wondering what all of that engine stuff at the start of this piece has to do with this vehicle. . . .

It’s this: For some reason known probably only to the marketing team, on the front quarter panel of the CX-90 there is a black and chrome badge that reads: “INLINE 6.”

That’s what’s under the hood. Does it matter? (Images: Mazda)

That’s right: the vehicle has a 3.3-liter, turbocharged, inline six-cylinder engine. Perhaps this is to differentiate the Mazda from something like a Chevy Traverse, which has an INLINE 4. (Though it doesn’t indicate that.)

From a performance point of view, the Mazda powertrain produces 340 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque (or, for those of you who are now SI mavens, 500 Nm, which is a fairly impressive number on its own, so maybe that would be a good moniker: CX-90 500).

The use of the word “powertrain” rather than “engine” is deliberate, for you may still recall the word “electrified” above.

The vehicle is fitted with what is called the “M-Hybrid Boost.” This is a 48-volt mild hybrid system, which means that it serves as a, well, boost, especially at starting from low speeds. It also helps with the overall efficiency, which is what I noticed in driving, as the low-speed boost was “meh,” but getting a combined 27 mpg for a vehicle weighing some 4,900 pounds with three rows and all-wheel drive is certainly satisfying.

Somehow I think it would have been cooler, if no more meaningful, to have “M-Hybrid Boost” on an exterior badge rather than INLINE 6. At least it would seem more future-oriented if no more clear to consumers.

Because the CX-90 is the top-of-the-line, the interior is well appointed with Nappa leather, streamline-design metal trim pieces, and a large piece of fabric on the IP with intricate stitching which appears as though it has more to do with high-fashion than Newton-meters.

That large surface is covered with an intricately stitched fabric.

All, in, however, this model is an interesting alternative to the vehicles in this category that have been available for a longer period of time, especially as Mazda seems to be making a serious effort to get its foot in the proverbial door in the three-row SUV space so it is over indexing.

To the benefit of the buyer.
