Kia sends you a postcard from 2030. While several automakers are plotting plans to convert their internal combustion line-up to all-electric by then, the Kia EV6 is already driving there.

It is almost a certainty that Drew Brees will be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame the first year he is eligible in 2026. However, there’s a chance he won’t be the third Purdue passing star to be enshrined at Canton, Ohio. Long before Len Dawson and Bob Griese started their paths toward…
