The ID.Buzz Americans deserve.

Just think of that interior as an affordable Ferrari 550 Maranello 😂

I’m a huge fan of EV versions of familiar, popular ICE models and think that will be the inflection point for most consumers getting into EVs. It takes away the blobby, purposely different styling cues, and the left vs right culture war, and instead just makes it about the power, efficiency, emissions, and the…

Louder for the back: warranty.

I keep finding myself recommending used Audis which is a little worrying, but jokes aside, this 2013 S7 is amazing value. It’s under $30k, has nice big snarly V8, legendary Quattro for some light rally cross, and just a great, comfortable daily driver that has aged really well. AND this one is at Carmax with only 56k…

I’m just calling out the irony of these two articles appearing alongside each other. I couldn’t care less about the subject matter. Jalopnik has fully lost its editorial cache. It’s just freelance writers throwing spaghetti at the wall for clicks without any sense of what each other are writing.

Nuances are banned.

Pick a lane guys.

In fairness to Electrify America (words I didn’t think would ever come out my mouth), anyone with an account or plan (like the Porsche, Audi, VW 3 years free charging) can just plug and charge without having to use a credit card or phone, so that’s very similar to the Tesla experience. EVgo is also fairly…

All hail the 1988 Maserati Karif.

Probably spent all his money on the off road accessories instead of new tires.

People are morons. I remember as a kid my dad talking about driving in the snow when I first passed my driving test and telling that my little VW Golf TDI was safer in the snow because it makes you feel like you’re in danger, and a Range Rover is dangerous because it makes you feel safe.

The Maserati he received:

Since you didn’t mention reliability, what about a first-gen Audi S5 with a nice big V8 (the same 4.2 FSI from the RS4 before they switched to a boring supercharged V6 in 2013). There are quite a few examples in your price range with under 100k miles. They are a bit heavy but they make a nice noise, are super composed …

No amount of marketing can position Chrysler in the same sentence as Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

Honest question. Does the Chrysler name really have any brand equity left for buyers, under the age of, say, 50? I can understand the types of people that gravitate to Jeep, Dodge and RAM, but Chrysler just seems, well dead on arrival.

Mommy?

Hopefully we’ll get to place where the EVs don’t need their own silly names, and EV powertrains can be easily identified by a simple nomenclature, e.g. like how you know TDI means diesel.
