(Show Notes)
–
The show opened with Tom running down a list of news items, including new information about the coming Kia K4 small/affordable EV, Moody’s downgrade of Nissan’s credit worthiness, and an update on slowing Tesla sales. Jill and Tom also corrected themselves on a pair of issues: Tom forgot that the current-generation Explorer is based on rear-wheel-drive architecture (episode 262), and Jill suggesting that the 2025 Nissan Altima is not available with the brand’s ProPILOT semi-autonomous driver-assistance system (episode 263).
Still in the first segment, Jill shared her review of the freshened Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV. Updates including improved range, and a new off-road themed trim level.
In the Second segment, Jill and Tom are joined by Brad Parker of Dealnow.com. Brad shared a number of tips related to improving the value of your trade-in.
In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom’s “Engine Parts” quiz. The hosts also discussed bad model names, as suggested by listeners.
