The Scout Traveler is coming to market in 2027, the rebirth of a storied and iconic SUV brand here in the States, powered by the wallets of Volkswagen Group and by a mix of electric power and range extended gasoline power to the tune of either 350 all-electric miles or up to 500 gas assisted miles.

I didn’t think Genesis would gain anything from chasing into the Midsize SUV Coupe segment with the GV80 Coupe to battle the likes of the X6, GLE Coupe, Q8 and Cayenne Coupe, but I’m starting to see quite a few of these out and about. Although I still think it needs a rear wiper… #carspotter

Just a couple of EVs… first @zeromotorcycles.bsky.social I’ve seen in public and our freshly serviced EQE SUV. Keen to check out an EV bike and see what it’s like.

What percentage of remaining Fisker Oceans are serving taxi duties in #NYC?? 130%?
In less than a 10 minute pass through part of the city on our way home we spotted no less than these 4 Oceans, including an inadvertent double spot in the 3rd picture!

Even two years ago it took effort to find hotels with level 2 charging, but now it’s pretty easy, even up in Kingston, NY. Loved that we were able to nearly top off in our quick overnight stay, more than enough to finish today’s leg of the trip without any DC charging stops! #roadtrip #ev #rivian

The electric 3 rows are coming the electric 3 rows are coming, including the Volvo EX90! Starting to see more of these around the DC Metro area. R1S and EV9 have been everywhere, but now Volvo and Cadillac Vistiq jumping in. Is the Volvo on your test drive list?? #volvo #ev #rivian #cadillac #kia

Porsche, why do your sunvisors not extend?? I don’t buy the performance or minimalist design theories. And you could very well option them as every other stitch and surface of the car. The parts exist in the greater VW Group parts bins… so.. why??

The Toyota GR86 is delightfully simple. It’s not altogether different from my 2014 Subaru BRZ. Sales have pegged at 11-12k per year the past few years. Can it keep it up in 2025?? Will we ever see more power on this platform?

Kona continues into its second generation with style, space and available turbo power! But gone is the range topping Kona N. Which makes me ask the question… is an N Line trim meaningful if there’s no “full” N?
Fuel economy not great, but they do offer an EV

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 is a super sleek sedan, but lands just short of Sport Sedan in the “sporty” realm. An N model would do the trick to get it over that edge for those looking for something sharper.
