All Revved Up - February 29, 2020, Hour 2

On this show we discussed the 1955 Dodge La Femme and how it was a dismal failure of an attempt to market a car to women. We looked at the 20 top-selling compact luxury cars in 2019 and how they were ranked by the editors of Autoweek.com. We discussed the panic in at VW HQ as the on-sale date approaches for the critical ID3 electric car touted as a rival to the Tesla Model 3. Unfortunately, the software flaws keep piling up and it was reported that there was a military-level effort applied to fixing the bugs. For our Bring a Trailer picks, Todd liked a 1994 Lexus LS400 with only 5,400 and John M. was thrilled with a 1970 Mercury Marauder X-100 Coupe originally sold new to the Fresno Catholic Diocese. In the news, we talked about the upper laser blade lights in the Tesla Cybertruck, the fact that the 2020 C8 Corvette is a huge hit for GM, Toyota’s highlander XLE Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient 3-row SUV on the market and the fact that Toyota makes the most reliable hybrids. Model Y deliveries are starting in March. And the Chevy Impala was put out of its misery permanently. We also talked about the cancellation of the 90th Geneva International Motor Show due to fears of the Covid-9 virus and the effect the virus is having on the entire automobile industry.
