Accused killers on trial for Australian brothers' deaths sent to ‘Mexico's toughest prison'
Two of the men accused of murdering Perth brothers Callum and Jake Robinson and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad will remain in a notorious maximum-security prison in the Mexican desert while lawyers determine the facts of the case. Two court hearings into the men's deaths were held back-to-back in Ensenada, in Baja California, on Thursday afternoon (Friday morning AEST). The Robinson brothers, from Perth's northern suburbs, were killed while on a surf trip to the Baja California peninsula in April last year. The brothers were travelling with Rhoad, a San Diego local, and drove a Chevrolet Colorado pick-up to their Punta San Jose campsite on the region's coastline. Four people will be tried in connection with the men's alleged murders. Prosecutors believe the trio was targeted by criminals looking to steal their car's tyres, and were killed when they resisted. However, this masthead understands the surfing spot where the men had been camping, La Bocana, which is almost two hours from a main road and accessible only by four-wheel-drive, is a 'hot spot' for local drug labs and marijuana plantations. The beach is used to transport drugs and migrants across the ocean to the United States. It is also understood that one of the men accused of the murders, Jesús Gerardo, had a long background with law enforcement, including connections to organised crime and allegedly corrupt Mexican police officers.

Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video. Research and compare vehicles, too. 2% Increase Doesn't Sting Good news! While a price increase is never a good thing, the one coming to the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado is not too bad. According to order guide data obtained by CarsDirect, the midsize pickup truck will be going up by no more than 1.8%, with the most expensive dollar rise still only $900. The Colorado is now approaching its third model year after arriving for 2023, and with only small changes, GM has not seen fit to overly inflate the price. By contrast, other 2026 arrivals across all sorts of segments – like the GMC Acadia, the BMW M5, and the Chevrolet Trax – have all swelled by four figures for the new model year. Of course, there are varying reasons for varying price adjustments, but it's still a welcome relief when a small one happens. 0:00 / 0:09 Audi A5 replaces A4: So, what's changed? Watch More A Closer Look At 2026 Chevy Colorado Pricing Source: Chevrolet Kicking off the range is the base Colorado WT, which sees a $500 increase to start at $32,400, excluding destination. Next up is the LT, which only goes up 200 bucks to a nice round $36,000. Then it's the Colorado Trail Boss and Z71, which match the WT's $500 increase to start at $40,400 and $44,400, respectively. Finally, the most expensive model in the range, the ZR2, saw the biggest price increase for 2026 at $900, now starting at $50,500. For the extra money, no major changes will be made, but buyers will be able to choose from White Sands paint, which is currently available on the Trailblazer, and new 20-inch wheel options. MY2025 Price MY2026 Price Difference Colorado WT $32,400 +$500 Colorado LT $36,000 +$200 Colorado Trail Boss $40,400 +$500 Colorado Z71 $44,400 +$500 Colorado ZR2 $50,500 +$900 How The Colorado Compares To The Competition Those willing to shop around might consider the Ford Ranger, which for the 2025 model year starts at $33,350 in base XL form and goes up to $56,070 in Raptor guise. Alternatively, the Toyota Tacoma arrives at a significantly lower price point, with its SR starting at just $31,590, but with 11 trims available for 2025, there's a lot more room to spend, particularly when you get to the hybrid trims. In its priciest form (TRD Pro), the Tacoma starts at $64,135. The cheapest pickup in this segment, however, is the Nissan Frontier S, starting at $32,050 and going up to $41,810 in SL form. All of the above prices exclude destination and apply to 2025 variants of the Colorado's rivals, so there will probably be similar increases when Ford, Toyota, and Nissan release 2026 pricing.

'I Work as a Valet Driver and Brooo:' Man Starts His New Chevrolet Colorado. Then He Notices An Unprecedented New Feature
Chevrolet has caught the attention of many with its new startup feature. Content creator @chevycolorado25 reveals the cinematic new startup screen for the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado. Yes, it feels like a movie studio introduction before a film starts. The post has gone viral, generating 5.4 million views as of this writing. Do Chevrolet Colorados Have the Best Start Screen? The Chevrolet Colorado is certainly making a strong case to be considered as having one of the best start screens in the game. It feels like a Warner Bros., Marvel, or MGM film is about to start with the epic intro. When firing up the Chevy Colorado, a seven-second animated film is played smoothly across the dashboard. The clean reformation of the Chevy logo appears on the infotainment system and driver dashboard seamlessly. The infotainment system definitely catches attention with an 11.3″ diagonal advanced color LCD display. With Google Built-In, all Google apps can be accessed seamlessly, keeping drivers' phones in their pockets. Multi-touch capability makes the dashboard feel like a smartphone is being used. The system goes beyond just entertainment and features fine-tuned comfort preferences, built-in voice recognition, and an intuitive interface for driving. Chevrolet didn't just stop there with the advanced technology. According to DePaula Chevrolet, the new Colorado is jammed with new tech features. These features include a wireless phone charging pad, a Bose speaker sound system, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, remote start, and keyless entry. Which Car Infotainment Systems Are the Best? Chevrolet is making a strong case for having one of the best infotainment systems in the game with the movie intro start-up. However, there is some strong competition, and commenters put a few names into the race. 'I work as a valet driver and brooo from all the cars I have drove the Mercedes GLE 63 AMG is crazy when you turn on the car. All the subwoofers go crazy,' one TikTok commenter said. Car enthusiasts on Reddit added BMW's iDrive 8.5, Teslas, and anything with Apple CarPlay. According to Kelley Blue Book (KBB) , these car brands have the best infotainment screens and operating systems. MBUX: Mercedes-Benz iDrive 8.5: BMW Tesla Lucid UX: Lucid ccNC: Kia and Hyundai Ford Digital Experience: Ford and Lincoln Uconnect 5: Ram, Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Alfa Romeo CUE: Cadillac and Chevrolet Viewers Aren't Buying It Chevrolet's social media team hyped up the car's intro and commented on the viral post, 'Warner bros who?' However, while the elaborate start screen is visually pleasing, not all commenters were entertained. To them, the feature is a distraction from the fact that Chevrolet has had recalls and transmission issues recently. 'Maybe they should spend more money on their transmissions,' one TikTok commenter said. 'It hides the electrical failures,' a second commenter replied. 'Chevy engineer here, if I'm honest we did this so you have something cool to do when your 6.2 locks up,' one viewer admitted. 'Gotta have something to look at while you are on the side of the road waiting on a tow truck,' another replied. 'This will soon start glitching and lagging,' a further predicted. Several Chevrolet cars, trucks, and SUVs have been subject to recalls over the past five years, KBB reports. These recalls included issues with the engine, transmission, brakes, and faulty airbags, to name a few. Motor1 has contacted @chevycolorado25 via TikTok direct message. This story will be updated if they reply. Update July 11 9:50am ET: In a message to Motor1 , the TikToker said, "The startup screen only plays when you close the door after getting in the car, before the engine starts. If you are in a hurry you can just start the car and it stops the animation.' Now Trending 'I've Been Paying For AIR?': Driver Reveals You Should 'Fill Up Your Gas Slow.'
