  • Good content, New Host Needed

    Used to love the weekly Autoweek magazine and was excited for Quick Spin. However, Wesley Wren is such a turn off for me. He seems so insincere to me and not genuine like he’s trying to be something or someone he’s not. The up and down pitches of his voice just seem overly fake. C’mon Autoweek, find us a new host.

  • Franken-Pod?

    Like your car selections and just listened to the Evoque episode. Good first-drive journalism from Tom, but am I the only one distracted by the “frankenbite” feel?

    Wesley’s host business sounds like it comes from a different podcast than Tom’s drive. Why do this? The result sounds like a cheesy audio mash-up trying to make a simple and fun road test pod sound like it has a host.

  • Maserati Levante review

    Demographically, I may be one of one. I really enjoyed your review of the Maserati Lavante Trofeo because I own a Lavante Gran Lusso. Your review was very accurate in that there’s so much goodness in the Maserati with the Italian craftsmanship, Ferrari derived engine and it’s glorious sound, and just the right amount of class and performance.

    I bought the Maserati because I enjoy driving my Jeep Grand Cherokee so much, and like your reviewer, I knew they run on the same platform and use many o... more

  • Nobody Does it Like Autoweek... Treasure Them

    To be honest, I have no idea what other listeners are looking for in an automotive podcast. Car Talk is a Mastodon, of course, but for those of us hoping to keep up with the industry, it's pretty much down to Matt Farah's The Smoking Tire and Autoweek's audio content, these days - both hosted by automotive journalists, but from complimenting ends of the car media spectrum. What I'm trying to say is... I need both of these perspectives to stay informed (and feel in touch) with what's going on. Wh... more
