Consumer Guide Car Stuff Podcast Episode 231: New Corvette ZR1, 2025 Infiniti QX80, Remembering the Impala SS

Jill and Tom opened the show talking about the new ZR1 Corvette model. That new king-of-the-hill ‘Vette boasts a reported 1064 horsepower, and should hit showrooms later next year. The hosts each made base-price predictions. Tom read a listener letter, and chatted briefly about the wool seats in his test Volvo XC60 Recharge small crossover.

Tom also shared his impressions of the all-new 2025 Infiniti QX80 large SUV. Tom had called the previous-generation QX80 the worst vehicle in its class. What does he think of the new version? Listen in.

In the second segment Jill and Tom are joined by Don Sikora of Collectible Automobile magazine. Don walked the hosts through the current issue, and shared some insights into the 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala SS featured this month. Don was also forced to indulge Tom’s reading of a series of potential feature cars for upcoming issues.

In the last segment Jill is forced to endure Tom’s “Which Sold Better?” quiz, featuring a bonus question about the snacks available at Buc-ee’s.
