July 27, 2023 Closing Race Tracks | Where do we go Now?
This isn't anything we haven't already seen, tracks closing down has been a regular occurrence. Though this particular one was in an abrupt and swift fashion.

When this happens, the question that comes up is where that energy and those people go. Right now we have takeovers happening everywhere, one would assume if you take away a venue for sanctioned motorsports, it'll just funnel back into the streets. Or even more so.

But, what do I know... I have some thoughts though.

Alongside that discussion, I give another shoutout to Hyundai and their brilliant design job and another fair warning to all my car enthusiasts... we are on borrowed time for exciting sports cars... ACT ACCORDINGLY!

And more... sit back and enjoy, this is CarQuicks!

July 16, 2023 2024 Lotus Eletre | Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder
So... I understand we are full speed ahead with whatever the future of vehicle transportation will be. Whether we fall head first into electric, hybrid, hydrogen, or something else not yet invented, we are going somewhere that does not involve combustion engines. However, on our journey there, we are constantly being introduced to some new idea of what this future will be, and often that future is not looking that great. Lotus has given us their take on the electric SUV and well.... look.

Alongside, that polarizing debut, Koenigsegg drops their production version of the ridiculous Gemera, Feffari makes a bespoke race car that looks better than their entire current lineup, Tesla fans are being met with the realities of depreciating assets, and more.

Sit back, enjoy... this is CarQuicks!

July 01, 2023 Nissan Nismo Z is Automatic ONLY!? | Toyota Releases more GR Models
One would think that vehicle manufacturers would understand the essence of what car enthusiasts want. To understand why a specific model is so sought after, what engagement in driving means... why we are buying them in the first place! Somehow we are now standing on what will surely be one of the great missteps of automotive culture IF rumors are true. And those rumors are that the next Nismo Z, the top tier of the Z platform will be Automatic only. I can't convey in writing how ridiculous this would be, so listen to the episode. Alongside those thoughts, Toyota is continuing its understanding of car enthusiasts with more GR Model cars and a new #GRCorolla. Hyundai is pushing further and further into performance electric cars being engaging... and I get to give out my thoughts.

June 24, 2023 Toyota's Next Electric Car has a Manual Transmission? | And BMW Kills their manual!?
And you thought I wasn't coming back with Episode 21... foolish child! Late but always right on time, in this episode I quickly cover the latest new SUV in the ever-growing sea of SUVs, with the Lexus GX and the new TX. Both are excellent additions to the segment and for sure volume sellers for Lexus and its customers. Before I get to that, Toyota broke the news that their batteries are gearing up as game changers for the EV market. Something very much needed to quell the fears of range anxiety. Alongside that Toyota has a manual-shifting EV? VW proves there is no limit to how much we will spend on a limited edition... hatchback, with the Golf R 333 and BMW killing the manual officially.

June 15, 2023 2024 VW ID Buzz | Markups Guaranteed!?
At this point, all you can do is laugh... or cry. We are about 4 years into the insanity of dealership markups on new cars and we have a CEO of a leading manufacturer, telling its consumers, they can't figure it out. This is not rocket science, we are not asking for time travel... but the way some of these manufacturers talk about dealing with dealer relationships, you would think we asked for a time machine! The upcoming 2024 VW #IDBuzz is an essential vehicle for VW and their North American market, and also their image. But, given that the price will be something around or north of $50,000, telling consumers BEFORE the car is out, that markups may be inevitable, is an excellent way to kill your own hype. Let's discuss this. ______ #carquicks #podcast #episode20 #Volkswagen #electriccar #Microbus #2024IDBuzz #tesla #rivian #lucidair #markups #ADM #newcars

June 04, 2023 Quarter Million Dollar Electric Cars | Faraday Future FF 91
I get that headlines and the outrageous is what gets people talking... I mean that's what I am doing right now on this podcast episode. However, if electric cars are to really take hold of the mass market, we need these new companies to get away from these outrageous concepts. A $250,000 electric car as your first option is insane, considering the market we are in and who you ultimately want to attract. What would the trickle-down effect be of a niche manufacturer, just starting out, pricing their car for the 1%? How is this sustainable? Where are the actual $40,000 and under electric cars that the masses will buy? On this episode of CarQuicks I am basically venting about the ridiculousness of the Faraday Future FF91 announcement and the reality that these electric car start-ups aren't building companies for mass adoption. They are building headline story media companies. Sit back and enjoy... this is CarQuicks.

May 28, 2023 BMW Teases us that they can make GOOD Looking cars | Aston Martin Reveals the Gorgeous DB12
*Disclaimer: Due to a numbering mistake on my end, between the audio version and Youtube version of this podcast, we need to just skip 2 numbers and bring both channels into sync... so this is episode 18, though you've only made it to 15 on the audio side of the podcast. This is just to help me and you, if you are following the Youtube page as well. On Episode 18 I dive into the fact that BMW has teased us again that they know how to design a car. Having revealed the brilliant Sport Touring Coupe Concept, BMW is showing us that someone in their Design house has their head on straight. Alongside that concept, the 2024 BMW 5-Series has been announced, and surprisingly looks good! Aston Martin releases their gorgeous DB12 supercar, Toyota is once again facing the fire of failed engines in the GR86 cars, VinFast ALREADY has a recall, and much more! Sit back and enjoy...

In this new episode, I dive into why Mercedes-Benz has consistently shown how to age gracefully with the reveal of their 2024 E-Class (BMW PLEASE TAKE NOTES!). Along with this reveal, I discuss the newly revealed restomod of an S2000R built by Evasive Motorsports.
