jeep wagoneer

Jill and Tom opened the showing quickly covering a number of topics including the demise of the Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 engine, the addition of a lower-priced base model to the Jeep Wagoneer lineup, and Tom’s love/hate relationship with the newly updated 2024 Volkswagen Atlas midsize crossover. Jill reviewed the all-new Kia EV9 all-electric 3-row crossover, about which she has much good to share. 

Also, Tom is being shocked (actual electric shock) by accidentally touching McDonald’s employees at the drive-thru. Strange? 

The hosts are joined in the second segment by Green Sense Radio host Robert Colangelo. Jill, Tom, and Robert discussed the strange sociopolitical forces at work keeping ethanol in America’s gasoline. The discussion covered the benefits of ethanol, and the many drawbacks, including compromised food security. Robert also briefly discussed a future Green Sense podcast dealing with early climate-change research which went unreported by petroleum producers. 

How will you do on this week’s quiz? Jill did very well, until the Kellog’s-related bonus question. Remember to follow the Car Stuff Podcast on Facebook to keep up to date on new episodes, and find links to the stories being covered. 

Sergio y Beto hablan de las nuevas Wagoneer y Grand Wagoneer y comparan contra la competencia. Pero están confundidos de si es marca premium o no premium; ¿o serán los de Jeep los que están confundidos?

In this episode of the Autoish Podcast Mike talks about one of his votes for the worst car ever made, the Cadillac Cimarron. Pete talks about his love for the Jeep Wagoneer and so much more. Mike picks up where he left off in episode 2 talking about the all-new BMW M3, M4 and his exclusive look at the two cars long before their release.

The Cadillac Cimarron is Mike's first pick for Pete's new segment called "What's aged the worst." Mike renames this segment as "one of the worst cars ever made" and comes out of the gate making fun of this early 80's Cadillad on the J-Platform made popular by the Chevy Cavalier, Oldsmobile Firenza, Buick Skyhawk and the Pontiac J2000. This poorly rebadged GM vehicle was a tragic fail for Cadillac and bears the brunt of Mike's jokes in this episode.

Mike also talks about a visit to the BMW assembly plant back in 2000 when the Spartanburg plant was building the BMW Z3 and the E53 X5 at the time. He recalls watching a new X5 being disassembled for quality purposes.

Pete eludes to upcoming episode 4 where Mike and Pete geek out about audiophile audio gear, tech, and the world of vinyl. Mike is looking forward to this episode where he seems to be ready to bore everyone not interested in audio with his knowledge of two channel, analog audio and the world of turntables and vinyl.
