Acura ZDX Discontinuation: Why the Luxury EV is Being Scrapped

by Priya Shah – Business Editor
written by Priya Shah – Business Editor

Acura to discontinue ZDX Electric ⁢SUV Amid Tax Credit Changes

Acura ‌will discontinue its ZDX electric SUV following the September 30th⁤ expiration of the federal​ EV tax credit, according to an internal memo obtained by USA Today.⁢ The decision highlights the meaningful impact of shifting government policies on the electric vehicle market ⁣and underscores the importance of incentives in consumer adoption.

The Acura ZDX, priced starting at $64,500, currently qualifies for a $7,500 federal tax credit. Though, with the incentive’s impending removal, Acura believes the ZDX’s value proposition diminishes against competitors, particularly its sister vehicle, ⁣the Honda Prologue. The⁢ Prologue, starting at $47,400, offers a similar 308-mile range and 220‍ horsepower, making it a more attractive option without the tax benefit.The ZDX boasts 358 horsepower and ⁢a 313-mile range.

Acura attributed the decision ⁢to “recent policy changes impacting EV production⁢ and sales” in the‌ internal dialog. The elimination of the tax credit effectively levels the playing field,making more affordable EVs like the Prologue – which offers comparable features for a lower price point – more competitive. A fully-equipped Honda Prologue Elite trim, including⁢ all-wheel drive, heated/ventilated seats, and a head-up display, is available for $57,900.

The ZDX’s discontinuation demonstrates ​the sensitivity of the EV market to government incentives and signals a potential shift in manufacturer strategies as policies evolve. Consumers considering an Acura ​ZDX should finalize purchases before September 30th⁣ to take ⁤advantage​ of the⁤ $7,500 tax credit.

Argentina Women Murdered: Drug Cartel Broadcast Live on Social Media

Argentina Reels After Triple homicide ⁢Broadcast on Social Media

Buenos Aires, Argentina – ⁤A wave of ⁣shock ⁢and outrage‌ is sweeping across Argentina ​following​ the brutal ‌murders of three young women, broadcast live on the‌ social media platform Switch.Authorities‍ have arrested​ twelve individuals in connection with⁢ the crime, alleging a pre-planned operation linked to drug cartel activity. The case has ignited a national conversation⁢ about rising violence and its potential roots in organized crime.

The victims‍ – identified as Brenda ⁣Del Castillo and two other‌ young women whose names have not been widely released -⁢ were ‌killed in a house in Buenos Aires Province. The Minister of Security stated the murders⁤ were not spontaneous, but the result⁤ of a “planned strategy.” Prior to the killings,‌ witnesses reported ​seeing a group of individuals digging in ⁣the yard of the ⁤property. Police ‍discovered blood ⁤stains⁤ and the smell of chlorine at⁤ the scene, indicating ​an attempt to conceal‍ evidence.

The arrests began‍ on Wednesday,September 24th,with the ⁤initial detention of four individuals – ⁤two women ‌and two men⁢ – found cleaning ⁣the crime scene. Eight more suspects were later apprehended. The inquiry is proceeding under ⁢the charge of “heavy murder.”

Paula, the mother of ⁤Brenda Del ​Castillo, ⁢publicly pleaded for justice, ‍stating,⁢ “They killed my ‍daughter… I demand⁢ justice for my ‌daughter, so that all who‍ are ⁢guilty are ‌punished.⁣ They claimed ​my daughter; ⁢she is‍ a good⁢ child.” She added,⁣ “I want everyone​ [involved] jailed!”

The incident has ⁤sparked concern due to‌ Argentina’s relatively low murder rate compared to other Latin American nations. While Argentina averages 3.8 murders per 100,000 population, and Buenos⁣ Aires Province ⁢sees 4.3 per 100,000, countries like Ecuador (39 per 100,000 in 2024) and Mexico (25.6 per 100,000 in 2024)⁢ experience significantly higher levels of violence. The involvement of drug ⁤cartels⁤ in this case, if confirmed, would represent a disturbing escalation of ⁢criminal activity within Argentina. The three victims were buried on Thursday, ⁢September 25th.

TSU Coach Reggie Barlow Sees Silver Lining After North Dakota State Loss

by Emma Walker – News Editor
written by Emma Walker – News Editor

Nashville, TN‌ – Tennessee State University football coach Reggie Barlow remained optimistic following a 45-0 loss to North Dakota⁣ State Saturday, emphasizing the opportunity for player development despite the lopsided score.The game, played September‍ 6, 2025, saw North Dakota State‘s starters score on all six first-half possessions, building a 45-0 halftime lead.

TSU mirrored North ​Dakota State’s approach in the second half, substituting heavily to provide playing time for less experienced⁢ players.⁣ “Just like them,they played a lot ​of people,we played a good bit of players who don’t ​normally get to play,” Barlow said. Defensive⁢ end Khy’lek Jarrett, a ​recent transfer from Princeton, recorded a tackle, alongside contributions ⁣from wide receiver ‌Lelan ​Wilhoite (transfer from Florida A&M and former Siegel⁤ High School star), quarterback Myron McNair, running ⁣back Zack simmons Brown, ⁣and defensive tackles marlon ⁢Huff and Braelen Perry (transfer from⁢ Prairie⁤ View A&M). “It was good ‍experience for guys⁤ like that to see fast ball and it’ll help us ⁤down the road,” Barlow added.

The game also served‍ as an evaluation ‌period for TSU’s quarterbacks – Jonathan Palmer, Myron McNair, and Caleb McCreary. Palmer, a former Page High⁣ School standout, started the game, with McNair playing the second half and McCreary seeing action in the fourth quarter. Barlow stated the plan was to give each quarterback a chance to play, noting, “This was the ​perfect game to do it. Obviously, it was not a conference game and we were playing⁤ against a really good opponent.” Palmer completed⁣ 5 of 13 passes for 38 ​yards, McNair went ⁣2 for 4 for 12 yards, and McCreary was 1-for-1 for 11 yards.

Running back Kendric rhymes highlighted a‍ more positive ‍second-half performance from the Tigers. “At halftime we said,’They came out on⁣ fire so we have to match the energy,’ ” Rhymes said.⁤ “In the ⁤second half we regrouped, we recuperated and got everything together. Sometimes you have to play the game and have fun out⁣ there and that’s what we did.” Rhymes⁢ finished with 43 rushing yards on 12 carries and two receptions for 10 yards, after ​gaining just 15 yards on five carries in the ​first half.
