CARSGUIDE PODCAST, EP 20 - I'M WEARING RAVE PANTS RIGHT NOW

EV Channels Review

This episode of the CarsGuide Podcast covers a range of automotive news and reviews. A significant portion is dedicated to the Ford Ranger Raptor, unveiled in Thailand. While the initial impressions highlight its aggressive styling and a 2-liter twin-turbo diesel engine producing 500 Nm of torque, there's speculation about a more powerful V6 engine potentially being offered later. The price point is estimated around $75,000, which is considered high but potentially justified given the aftermarket customization market. The podcast also touches on the new Holden Commodore, described as contemporary but unremarkable in design, with a focus on its smaller dimensions and front-wheel-drive platform, marking a shift from its predecessors. The Jeep Compass receives praise for its impressive off-road capabilities, exceeding expectations for its segment. Other topics include Elon Musk's latest ventures, the Bathurst 12 Hour race, and Jaguar's plan to build the final 25 D-Type racing cars.
