VW TAOS - Now the crossover offering is complete for Volkswagen
It's all about the Crossover these days and VW is no exception. To compete in the marketplace today, it's necessary to have at least three models for Crossover shoppers, distinguished by size - small, medium and large. The all-new Taos is a proper "small" crossover, but not extra small, still leaving room for future models. #vw #volkswagen #vwtaos #taos #crossover

WORLD DEBUT! ADVENTURE 1 POTENTIAL 4X4 EV
Adventure 1 is a Canadian based manufacturer of electric off-road vehicles and they chose the 2022 Overland Expo East to premier their Potential Van which is small, but capable. It's also pricey at $137K, but with 12.5 inches of ground clearance and a narrow footprint, it can go places Wranglers and Tacoma's can't. This could be a disruptor to the off-road community much like the Suzuki Samurai was in the 1980s, The difference is that the Potential is expensive and by default excludes most buyers from owning one. #adventure1 #ev #electricvan

2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring - Owner Review!
While charging my i4 M50i press vehicle, I met this friendly owner of a 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring. Virgil was kind enough to give us a walk-around of his car which he ordered a year ago. Since he ordered it, prices have increased by $12K. Thank You Virgil for spending time with us and providing the insight into why you purchased this particular car. Virgil has owned other EV's including a Tesla and Porsche, but with 470 miles of range, the Lucid Air is the clear champion of range anxiety.

Off-Roading with the Land Rover Defender 90 - even the instructors were impressed
Land Rover is unique for its legendary off-road capabilities, but the fact that they offer three Land Rover Experience centers in America, is a testament to the brand. When we showed up to the Carmel Valley experience center, they had not been in the shorter wheelbase Defender 90 which is ideal for the tight turns of this challenging course. #landrover #landroverdefender #defender90 #4x4 #landroverexperience

Toyota BZ4X - The first 100% mass-produced EV from the most successful car company on the planet.
#toyota is a car company built on QRD (Quality/Reliability/Dependability) and they don't take risks which is why they waited this long to produce their first ever fully electric mass produced EV. The #BZ4X is the right product for the right time. Most EV's out there are not reliable, but we expect the same QRD in this hatchback as the rest of Toyota's lineup. #toyota #ev #bz4x

2022 INFINITI QX60 - They finally got it right!
I've never been a fan of the QX60 or its previous namesake the JX35, but it filled a much needed gap for Infiniti as a 3-row crossover competing with the Acura MDX and Volvo XC90 among others. Finally….after a decade of mediocrity, #infiniti got it right by improving every aspect of this critical crossover.

Chevy Silverado ZR2 - Normally Aspirated V8. Oh Yeah!!
We have been waiting for Chevy to get into the 4x4 off-road segment the way its competitors have and now they're doing it with their ZR2 and ZR2 Bison models. If I had to choose between the Raptor, TRX & ZR2….it would be Chevy all day, but the Tundra TRD PRO is a close second. #chevy #chevysilverado #4x4 #silverado

ACURA has stopped development on Internal Combustion Engines!
We have it on good authority that the engineers at Honda and Acura have been instructed to cease all development on ICE or gasoline internal combustion engines, and focus solely on electric motors. Keep in mind that development on powertrains is typically 5 years out so expect that by 2030, the bulk of Acura's lineup will be electric vehicles which may include plug-in hybrids.

We have not yet driven the new Sequoia, but there's a high likelihood it will drive much like the New Tundra and that's a tremendous improvement. Overall, we like the styling and interior improvements. Should be another hit for Toyota.
