Stellantis CEO Quits, Volvo XC90 Review, Porsche Macan EV Deep Dive
Description
Jill and Tom opened the show noting that Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares stepped down from his position over the weekend. The surprise move sent company stock down steeply early Monday. The hosts also discussed one of Tom’s X polls, this one ranking the most prestigious car brands. Listen in for details.
Still in the first segment, Jill shared her review of the 2025.5 (yes, 2025.5) Volvo XC90 midsize crossover. Not a full redesign, the big Volvo sees a number of design and tech updates, most of which Jill found appealing. Jill also explains the whole .5 thing.
In the second segment, the hosts welcome Calvin Kim of Porsche to the show. Calvin updated the hosts on the German carmaker’s all-new Macan EV compact electric crossover. The new EV will be sold alongside the marque’s gasoline-powered Macan.
In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom’s “More Fake Cars!” quiz. To wrap up the show, Jill shared the North America Car of the Year finalists list. Winners will be announced at the Detroit Auto Show, which returns to January for 2025.
