    More fun and info to enter the weekend, thanks.
    We had a test drive in the Dolphin (design). Had Android auto, worked perfectly. And we were surprised about 0 to 100km, fast enough for us, and that was just eco mode..

    For HGV some are looking at fitting batteries to trailers to support longer distance travel. These can be dropped and swapped to charge up longer. They could be retro fitted to existing ones. Also allows trailers to be moved around depot without a tractor unit.

    I really like the look of the Alfa! Certainly far better looking than the Fiat 600e.

      100% agree, and I am not that offended by the front.

    The controversy around the new Alfa Romeo, is interesting. The hybrid has a different grill, which is way better….traditional. Alfa has always produced some controversial cars, but overall, memorable. Calm down!

    The BYD distribution model seems to be broken at the moment which is why their cars are clogging up UK and European ports. This will probably continue as long as they rely on third party dealer who hike up the price of their cars.

    HAha! The Grandland preview made me chuckle… As a current Grandland owner who is about to hand it back for an ID.4, I’ll be interested to see if the new Grandland can tempt me back in 3 years time.

    I sat in a Ora 03 (aka Funky Cat) at Gridserve Braintree and was surprised at the quality feel and the interior space

    This afternoon the local VW dealer rang to ask if we still wanted to buy a IDBuzz, I didn’t ask about prices, but a few weeks back no deals as VW apparently don’t allow dealers to do their own deals.

    Great episode, and well done Tom for battling on with your chest infection… You deserve a lollipop for being a brave little soldier. Also love the ‘Bargain of the Week’ feature 👍🏻

    Wasn’t the ICE Frontier a bit on the slow side back in the day? Looking forward to seeing the grandland now 😏

    Cadillac… Oooo fancy 😁

    Regulations on motor insurance pricing changed in 2021. Firms now can’t offer a higher premium at renewal than they would offer the same customer as a new customer (there are details but that’s the basic rule). You should still shop around, but generally new customer and renewal prices are much closer across the market than they use to be.

    Your weekly perspective is super helpful, especially since you cover cars we don’t get here in the USA. I do hope you can maintain an air of criticality. Sometimes the Press Junket machine turns journalists into cheerleaders and ultimately, other than owner surveys, the car industry sucks at self reflection. They rely on you guys to tell them things like, “you’re profitability is in question building small cars. We’ve looked. It’s not looking promising. Yet the early EV adopters who shelled out large for overpriced EVs are savvy, we’ve taught them well, and they know it’s really unsustainable to replace your car every three years. What’s the long term plan to make these EVs more sustainable, more affordable, and shouldn’t you focus more of your attention on helping communities build electric rail?”
