Cars Are Better Than Crossovers

While Nicole spends the weekend at Disney World, Perry Stern has stepped in to join Robbie and Sam with the Audi RS6 Avant. Robbie spent some more time with the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 to do some charging tests with its new NACS/J3400 charging port and Sam went hands-free in the 2025 Ford Explorer and Lexus LS500h with Teammate.

Nissan's CEO is stepping aside which may reopen the opportunity for a Honda merger. Ford has shipped 140,000 free NACS adapters to owners and is now offering its Lectron-built adapter to everyone. Toyota and Lexus are upgraded their EVs. Waymos are getting parking tickets in San Francisco. Acura's new ADX is good, but cars are better. BMW is getting ready to launch the new i3 and iX3 and a CDC study shows America is the only developed country where more pedestrians are dying on the roads. Nicole shares her thoughts on driving the Ineos Grenadier and we answer some listener questions.
