NEW CORVETTE ZR1, 2025 INFINITI QX80, REMEMBERING THE IMPALA SS

EV Channels Review

The Consumer Guide Car Stuff Podcast episode delves into several significant automotive news items. The primary focus is the highly anticipated Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, with hosts Tom Appel and Jill Ciminillo speculating on its potential $150,000+ price point, driven by its reported 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque. They also discuss the redesigned 2025 Infiniti QX80, with Tom noting significant improvements over the previous generation, particularly its new turbocharged V6 engine and enhanced interior space, though he still finds the drivetrain a bit unrefined at low speeds. The episode also features a segment with Don Sikora of Collectible Automobile magazine, highlighting the 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala SS and its design evolution from the Caprice. A discussion on the merits of classic cars versus modern technology is also included, alongside a segment on Acura's decision to remove native XM radio support in favor of app-based streaming via Apple CarPlay. The show concludes with a 'Which Sold Better?' quiz and a bonus question about Buc-ee's exclusive snacks.
