After a few months of being away Pete and Rob are back in the saddle talking cars.  With the chaos of the holidays it took some time to figure out our separate remote set ups.  Now we’re back and better than ever.  Or at least as good as we used to be.  We’ve missed you all and this show so much!  This week we’re talking Lotus.  They’re wiping the slate clean and out with the old ( very old in the case of the elise ) and in with the new.  We have no idea what the “new” is but it’s coming and apparently to show rooms by the end of the year.  GM over the last week made an announcement that has Rob torn up.  Promising in fourteen years to be all electric.  Rob was hoping= to be dead in the ground before the V8 Corvette was.  What are your thoughts on the switch to full EVs?  Kia’s stock jumps because Apple dropped some serious cash to get into the car making business.  Expanding their ecosystem out of your house and on the road.  After that we go over Tesla’s recall.  Elon’s snark seems to be rubbing off on the PR employees.
