NEW MIATA? DOUG INFLUENCES A CAR DESIGN! NEW SUBARU CONTROVERSY! THIS CAR POD! EP56

EV Channels Review

The latest episode of THIS CAR POD dives into several significant automotive news stories, with a particular focus on Subaru's updated Outback and the new electric Subaru Solterra TrailSeeker. The hosts express mixed feelings about the new Outback's styling, noting its increased SUV-like proportions and the continued use of its long-standing base engine, despite strong sales. The Solterra TrailSeeker, however, garners more positive attention for its improved styling and performance, though its 260-mile range is considered competitive but not class-leading. The discussion also touches on the controversial "Stronger than the 1980s" G-Wagon edition and the potential for a Lincoln Bronco, with the hosts generally agreeing on the need for more enthusiast-focused vehicles. The episode highlights the ongoing debate about vehicle design trends, the challenges of producing affordable electric trucks, and the marketing strategies of automakers.
