Consumer Guide Car Stuff Podcast, Episode 162: Lincoln Goes Chinese, EV Tax Credit Surprises, Cars.Com Afforadability Study

Jill and Tom opened the show calling back to last week’s episode during which guest James Bell of Kia instructed Jill to make use of the “GT” button in her test Kia EV6 GT. Jill did as instructed; listen in for her impressions. The hosts discussed the coming 2024 Lincoln Nautilus, and it’s move to Chinese manufacture.

The conversation moved to the official list of vehicles that qualify this year for the federal EV tax credits. In the second segment Jill and Tom welcome Jane Ulitskaya of Cars.com to the show. Jane walked the hosts through the findings of Car’s first Affordability Study and Best Value New Cars list.

In the third segment Jill and Tom shared their impressions of the all-new Toyota Crown. Note: Amy Chao of Toyota joins the team next week for a deep dive into the brand’s newest model. (Jill also complained about Tom’s choice of test-car music. In this case Peruvian Psychedelic Cumbia. See link below.)

Jane joined Jill for Tom’s “Wagon or No Wagon” quiz, and Jill and Tom shared some of the newest content posted on Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk, and Consumer Guide Automotive.
