Best of the Bay (Part 4): Fiat 500E, Dodge Durango Hellcat, Acura ZDX


Listen Later

Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. On his show he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, motoring travel.

In this episode, Jon reviews three vehicles, he discusses the Fiat 500e, highlighting its small size, aggressive regenerative braking, and plasticky interior, questioning its value considering depreciation. Next, he delves into the Dodge Durango Hellcat, lauding its 707 horsepower engine but critiquing its high price and overall build quality compared to competitors like Lexus and Genesis. Finally, he briefly evaluates the Acura ZDX, noting its competent performance but ultimately finding it unmemorable. Throughout, Jon shares anecdotes about technology glitches and driving experiences.

====================
  • Accept - Restless and Wild
  • Fiat 500E - Perfectly adequate car. Luddite struggles getting it into gear. Nice evolution of the previous model. J would recommend one, but used. Let someone else suffer the depreciation hit of a new EV!!!!
  • Over enthusiastic driver aids, the Acura ZDX a “500hp mother hen”
  • Fiat overhears J’s muttering, tries to help me
  • Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction - Holy Gasoline
  • Dodge Durango Hellcat vs. Genesis GV80. Durango Hellcat vs. Lexus GX550 AND Elantra N. That 707hp V8, J’s Best Piece Of Technology. Center tach, like a 911 or a Gixxer. Durango Hellcat vs. Ram SRT-10, and aero limited top speed. Stable at high speed. But the news is the organic power delivery. Is the price even relevant, is this already a collector car?
  • Acura ZDX - Low wide station wagon shape instead of Rivian style tall upright SUVs
  • Zodiac Mindwarp - Airline Highway
  • ===== (Oo---x---oO) =====
