Just A Boondogle

This week Nicole is having a seriously fun time with the 2023 Honda Civic Type-Rrrrr! Robbie is also having fun with a car that surprisingly fits both him and his bass guitar, the Mazda Miata Club. Sam actually had a great Electrify America charging experience with the Genesis GV70 Electrified.In the news, it appears that VW may be getting ready to launch an electric GTI. Toyota revealed the all-new Land Cruiser which is basically a more affordable and arguably better looking version of the Lexus GX and is finally bringing the plug-in hybrid Lexus RX450h+ to America. Speaking of America, we've poisoned Britain with our preference for SUVs over cars so Volvo is going to stop selling cars in the UK. Mazda couldn't find enough American buyers for the MX-30 so it's discontinuing it here. Henrik Fisker should off a bunch of upcoming products with some cool features, but it's too early to say which of them will actually make it to market. The Detroit Concours d'Elegance is back in midtown Detroit in September and should have more really interesting cars. Finally we answer listener questions about manufacturer license plates and stick shift transmissions without clutch pedals (the links below do a better job explaining the VW automatic stick shift than Sam did).LinksElectric VW GTI on the way?2024 Toyota Land Cruiser2024 Lexus RX450h+Volvo stops selling cars in UKNo More MX-30sNew FiskersDetroit ConcoursVW AutostickPorsche SportomaticAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
