As a kid, I remember my dad shaking his head as people sold gas guzzlers at huge losses to get tiny efficient imports when gas spiked in the 70s. Made no economic sense. Will spiking gas prices drive Americans to EVs? Discuss... #automotive

The @lucidmotors.bsky.social Gravity is among the most anticipated vehicles in years. Spacious (honest seating for up to 7), athletic and practical, it delivers best in-class range and charge speed. And NACS. Perfect? No vehicle is. Here’s my deep dive… #automotive

Ah, you beat me to it.
Thanks for being my agent Zamafir!
I’ve had my new (to me) @porscheusa.bsky.social Taycan 4S for some 9 months now. Here’s the good and bad. Mostly good. A smart watch if you're considering an EV.

Think there are no affordable cars? I’m starting 2026 with the 2026 Nissan Sentra that begins at $23,845 (yes, that’s with shipping). New with a warranty. Perfect for people that don’t know how to buy used. #automotive

Well, the IONIQ obviously has a different powertrain (not everyone can work an EV into their lives). I like the Hyundai a lot, but enjoyed the VW more than I would have thought.
I drove over 100 vehicles in 2025. What would I recommend? These cars, trucks and SUVs. ICE, HEV and EV powertrains. Other outlets have Top 10 lists. I turn it up to 11. It’s not the same old same old list. #automotive

For families that need space, the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse is a roomy stylish 3-row machine. I drive the Z71 trim for extra rugged capability. This or a Tahoe people? #automotive

Volvo may not have the sales volume of the big mainstream brands, but it seems everyone has a story (like waving at other cars from the rear facing wagon seat). A fun retrospective as the Swedes celebrate 70 years in the US. youtu.be/kN9csTsD79E @volvocarusa.bsky.social #Automotive
Living the social media financial dream. Thanks Meta, it's going to be a jolly holiday.
I think I know the producer behind this and he knows how I feel about it.
First it was Forester, now Subaru has given Crosstrek the hybrid treatment. Yes, fuel economy is better. It’s different than Honda and Toyota systems. Hey, it’s what makes a Subaru a Subaru, right? #automotive

Back after 25 years, the 2026 Honda Prelude gets Civic Type R chassis tricks and a hybrid powertrain. Controversial? Yup. But a NACTOY Car of the Year finalist speaks volumes. My first drive is with Jonathan Yu, Prelude’s product planner. #Automotive youtu.be/VKMbDqLAeB4
The @lucidmotors.bsky.social Gravity is now a NACTOY Utility of the Year finalist. At the judging ride and drive, I got to chat up the original chief engineer Zach Walker. He breaks down what makes the Gravity SUV so different from the Air sedan. Plus SO much more. #automotive

Thanks, and it's been too long since we've had coffee. Also, I'm happy to say Evs aren't for everyone yet. But if you can "charge where you sleep", they can be better vehicles for many people.
Can't get to the 2025 LA Auto Show? Here are the highlights and reveals. Concepts, production vehicles, exotics and affordable transportation in one big overview. @laautoshow.bsky.social #Automotive

In the past, I’ve called the @hyundaiusa.com IONIQ 6 the poor man’s Taycan. The 6N (unveiled at the LA Auto show) is the Everman’s Taycan Turbo S. Think IONIQ 5N, but maybe better. Here's a deep dive on what's changed. #Automotive

I doubt it's cost savings since it's unique to the hybrid. Could be trying to get around Toyota patents and having a more traditional ICE feel.
Remember when hybrids were slow and had transmissions like rubber bands? Not the 2026 @hyundaiusa.com Palisade Hybrid. Notably quicker than the V6, this could be the best way to move the family efficiently. Impressively refined. #Automotive

I need you as my agent Z.
The North American Car, Truck and Utility of the Year Award is among the most coveted honors an automaker can receive. What is NACTOY? How do vehicles get judged? It’s all here, including the new Prelude, Sentra and Palisade Hybrid. #autotmotive

3 might be the magic number but for Toyota it’s 4. As in RAV4. New for 2026, it’s all hybrid all the time (HEV or PHEV). I drive the Limited, off-road oriented Woodland and new GR Sport (which is more than just a trim package). #automotive @toyotausa.bsky.social

Just when the Chevy Bolt found its audience, GM canceled it. The General has now righted that wrong. Bolt is back! Range is improved, charging is faster. Starts at just under $30K with shipping. But what’s this “for a limited time” messaging? #automotive

I bought a used 2021 @porscheusa.bsky.social Taycan 4S 6 months ago. Here’s what it’s like to live with a high-performance EV with 32,000 miles on clock. Likes. Gripes. Issues. Real world range. Charge speed. Would I do it again? It’s all here… #automotive

The GMC Terrain AT4 gets a tougher look than Denali and Elevation trims. It’ll get owners further down forest service roads too, but stay away from the Rubicon Trail. Comfy. Great design in and out. Could use a little more scoot and about that audio system… #automotive

Not just one review this week, it’s 15! NWAPA’s Drive Revolution is put on by automotive writers to find the best ICE, HEV and BEV vehicles. It’s automotive speed dating. HEV, BEV and ICE, oh my! #automotive

I like Mt Dew more as "yahoo, Mountain Dew" with a cartoon hillbilly, and less as the energy sports drink it now claims to be.
Never did ride alongside but I do give show tours full of fun facts. I'm going to try some EV seminars too.
