EV Channels Review
This episode of Window Shop challenges the Car and Driver team to select the best car for starting a YouTube channel with a $30,000 budget. Each editor pitches a unique vehicle and concept: John Pearley Huffman proposes a Porsche 914 for a "saving the world's cheapest Porsche" restoration series, highlighting its accessibility and potential for viewer engagement. Elana Scherr suggests an ambitious "Lincoln Lambo Limo" build, combining a damaged Lamborghini Murcielago with a Lincoln Town Car for sheer spectacle and potential for viral content, despite its questionable practicality. Jonathan Ramsey opts for an International Scout 80, leveraging the brand's upcoming EV revival for SEO and planning off-road adventures. K.C. Colwell introduces the Mazda Autozam AZ-1 for its unique gullwing doors and "Will it Dump?" concept, focusing on learning about cars. Tony Quiroga selects a Fisker Karma for a "Four-Door Corvette" engine-swap series, letting the audience decide the powerplant. The team ultimately leans towards the more outlandish or action-oriented concepts, with Alana's Lincoln Lambo Limo and Jonathan's Scout off-roading adventures receiving significant praise for their entertainment value.
