Listen "Ep 116 Divine Renault Alpine to the US? Senna tribute, trauma surgeon safety, Porsche turbo turns 50, and Mercedes news"
Episode Synopsis
New Renault Alpine A110s were spotted testing in Fla. Will the divine A110 come to the US? We definitely hope so!5/1/2024 is the 30th anniversary of Aryton Sennas death. We discuss this great and complicated figure.Trauma surgeon safetyThe Porsche 911 turbo turns 50 this year. We say happy birthday! Adams talks about its history and evolution then lists the 5 most collectible models. And then the three of us pick our all-time favorite 911 turbo.
A Porsche dealer in Charleston, SC is suing a former sales manager for taking bribes from customers who wanted in-demand cars (think GT3, GT3 RS, 911 S/T, and 911 Turbo S). CoC wonders if this practice isn't more widespread, and why dealerships don't have small committees make these important decisions rather than individual employees.
Finally, Steve-0 takes Mercedes to task for dumping too many EQS BEVs on their dealers (who don't want them), having to cut EQS prices by OMG $20,000, and for insisting on making their heretofore wonderful V8 C63 sedan a four-cylinder hybrid. We predict tepid sales.
