Porsche Macan EV
Jill and Tom opened this week’s show discussing the all-new 2025 Porsche Macan EV, an electric version of the maker’s popular Macan small crossover. The new electric Macan is offered in four trim levels and starts around $75,000.
Scout Motors
Still in the first segment, the hosts discussed the media launch of Volkswagen’s all-new electric-truck brand Scout. VW will launch the brand with a pair of EVs, including a crossover and pickup truck, both of which are closer in size to full-size vehicles, including the Ford Expedition and F-150. Volkswagen also plans to employ a controversial “direct-to-consumer” sales model which will certainly raise the ire of U.S.-market VW dealers.
XPEL
In the second segment, Jill and Tom welcome James Melfi of Xpel car-care products. James shared the purchase and application details of several products, including window tinting, and ceramic paint coating. Learn more at Xpel.com.
Quiz
In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom’s “Buick vs. The Beatles” quiz. We also learn that Jill may have a flat tire.
