A district judge in the US state of California has dismissed a lawsuit by disgruntled Tesla owners, alleging that Tesla’s monopoly on repairs is forcing customers to accept high prices and long waits.

Toyota unveiled the new Yaris Cross last week, the company’s first-ever SUV to be built on the TNGA-B platform. In terms of positioning, the new Yaris Cross is positioned below the C-HR and Corolla Cross, whereby the new model will be pitted against the popular Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3.
