EV Channels Review

This episode of 'Window Shop with Car and Driver' tackles the fun challenge of selecting the best car to drive to a 20-year high school reunion, with a budget of $100,000. The panel, including Tony Quiroga, John Pearley Huffman, Carlos Lago, K.C. Colwell, and Jonathon Ramsey, each presented a unique choice reflecting their personal philosophies on reunions and car ownership. Pearly Huffman opted for a budget-friendly 1989 Toyota Corolla SR5 All-Trac wagon, emphasizing its coolness and the significant funds left over. Jonathon Ramsey chose a 1989 Lotus Esprit SE, a nod to his graduation year, though its practicality and reliability were questioned. Carlos Lago presented the 2023 GMC Hummer EV 3X, a modern, imposing choice that sparked debate about its practicality and availability. K.C. Colwell selected a 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe, appreciating its timeless appeal and potential for negotiation. Tony Quiroga's pick was a 1987 Rolls-Royce Corniche, chosen for its sheer obnoxiousness and luxurious presence, despite concerns about maintenance. The discussion highlighted a shared sentiment of disliking high school reunions, with most participants preferring cars they genuinely enjoy rather than those intended to impress. Ultimately, the Rolls-Royce Corniche and the Porsche 911 emerged as strong contenders, with the Rolls-Royce ultimately winning favor for its unique statement.
