Speed:Sport:Life Radio: Diesel, the Fuel of the Future Edition
After last week’s self-indulgent excesses of power, we take a look at the clean and efficient future of the cars that the real world will force us all to drive most of the time. Just to remind you that we’re still all about the loud noises and massive piles of horsepower, we kick off the podcast this week with the performance and price figures for the Corvette ZR1, but then it’s on to the impending sales letdown of the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango hybrid SUVs, and two new diesels coming to the market soon from VW and Nissan. We talk about the tragic death of Scott Kalitta and what it might mean for the NHRA in the future, and two upcoming GPS units for the lonely nerds out there in this week’s Useless Automotive Tchotchke. Share and Enjoy™.
Comment on the whole affordability of diesels… they’re hiding the cost of the emissions controls in the sale price of the options for the higher trim cars. A low-trim Jetta TDI would be barely any cheaper.
upcoming GPS units for the lonely nerds? lol
very interesting! The same garmin gps systems or TomTom GPS could be used to save time, money and fuel and i think could be very useful not only for nerds.
so gps systems are for lonely nerds now
