Signing Off for 2022 – Happy Holidays from Alex On Autos!

It's the end of the year, so I wanted to thank you all for tuning in to the Auto Buyers Guide Podcast in 2022. Tim, Brian and I have enjoyed putting this together for you and look forward to "Season 2", if you will, beginning sometime mid-January.
Hope you all have a happy holiday, whatever it is you may celebrate, and a very happy new year. See you in 2023!

Carvana In Hot Water | Episode 29

For the final episode of the year, Tim and Alex discuss the current state of Carvana, which seems to be floating on troubled waters due to major (avoidable) mistakes. Also, with all this talk about electric cars, should plug-in hybrids still remain part of the conversation? Short answer – yes. Long answer – listen on!

You Get a Sub-Brand, YOU Get a Sub-Brand | Episode 28

Brian joins Alex this week to talk about the sub-brand trend, where automakers create families out of popular model lines. Toyota tried and failed with the Prius, Land Rover tried and massively succeeded with the Range Rover. GM seems to be considering going all-in with Camaro, Corvette and Escalade sub-brands. Should that be considered overkill, or are brands like Jeep and Ford onto something with this?

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 – who are the winners and losers? With all this EV talk, what about Tesla? How's it going over there, especially considering Elon Musk's recent acquisition of Twitter? Will that positively or negatively affect his automotive endeavors?
