Its founders noticed the gap in a health-oriented resort on the market, so they transformed their existing property into a 13-room retreat to redefine health in the desert. The founding team includes Creative Director Soli Cayetano; Josh Dobken, Operations Director; Architect and Designer Diana Ossa; and CFO Carrick Young.“While traditionally not Palm Springs, we recognize that consumers are increasingly eager to escape their commitment to longevity, mindfulness and overall recovery,” Cajetano said. “This desert city is a peaceful energy and nature.

Scout Terra and Travelers: 7 Details You May Have Missed

Scout Motors is making a comeback that's part reinvention and part nostalgic homage. International Harvester was once a pioneer in the SUV field in the United States, helping to introduce the concept of "sport utility vehicle" before the Scout was born. But the company went bankrupt in 1980, and its reputation faded from the automotive world. Now, thanks to the backing of Volkswagen Group (which acquired the rights to the name when it acquired Navistar International in 2021), Scout is reinventing itself as an all-electric brand. Read: These are the new Scout Terra trucks and Traveler SUVs Just this week, more than two years after we first heard about Volkswagen's plans, Scout finally took the wraps off two production concept vehicles: the Traveler SUV and the Terra pickup, which are meant to preview the 2027 lineup.

VW dealers furious over Scout sale of Terra and Traveler Direct

Scout's direct-to-consumer model bypasses traditional VW dealers, frustrating dealers and sparking potential legal challenges across the country. As an independent company, Scout avoids state franchise laws that require dealer involvement. Production of the new Terra and Traveler is expected to begin in the United States in 2027, with both models starting at less than $60,000. VW's U.S. dealers are hoping to get a piece of the pie with the new Scout Terra pickup and Traveler SUV, but they're having no luck.

As early as May 2022, dealers suspected that Scout might adopt a direct sales model, long before the new model was…

These Are The New Scout Terra Truck And Traveler SUV
These are the new Scout Terra trucks and Traveler SUVs

Both models feature solid and eye-catching designs that pay homage to the past go through Brad Anderson October 24, 2024 18:12 It's been 44 years since the last Scout rolled off the production line, and now the brand is back. The resurgent brand, now part of the Volkswagen Group, has launched two electric vehicles - an SUV called the Traveler and a pickup truck called the Terra, both of which will feature range extenders. Much like the Rivian R1T and Rivian R1S combo, the designs of the Traveler and Terra are very similar to each other. Both EVs have bold and striking looks, with a fairly simple front fascia, a large skid plate, a blackened front grille, simple headlights and horizontal daytime running lights. A small Scout logo sits to the right of the grille, like a piece of art with a signature in the lower right corner. Read: VW committed to exploration brand despite $5 billion deal with Rivian…
