Jeep's Hot Model, Acura TLX Review, EV Sales in the Second Half
- Jeep's Hot Model, Acura TLX Review, EV Sales in the Second Half Consumer Guide Automotive, Tom Appel, Jill Ciminillo 55:37
Jill and Tom are both in studio this week. The show opened with Tom reading an email from a listener. Apparently Tom’s Studebaker history is a little shaky. The conversation turned to a number of topics, including too-long model names, the sale of 3000 Fisker crossovers to a ride-hailing-vehicle lessor, and a surprisingly hot-selling Jeep model.
Still in the first segment, Jill shared her impressions of the 2024 Acura TLX premium midsize sedan. Both hosts agree that the slow-selling 4-door is underappreciated. Listen in for Jill’s complete review.
In the second segment Jill and Tom welcome Sam Abuelsamid, Analyst with Guidehouse Insights to the show. Sam walked the hosts through the current state of the EV market, and talked about what to expect in the second half of 2024. Sam also talked about the pace of new-Technology EV battery development, including solid-state cells.
In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom’s “Mo’ Spellin’” quiz. To close out the show, jill highlighted an article she posted recently regarding General Motors’ move away from Apple CarPlay.
