Tired of boring, lookalike crossovers? The 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale Veloce is the answer to that issue. It and the all-new 2026 Toyota Corolla FX are our road test vehicles this week. Host Jack Nerad found himself at the controls of the Tonale, a compact SUV that brings Italian luxury and performance to a pretty ho-hum segment. With its sharp design, 268-horsepower turbo engine, adaptive suspension, and upscale interior, it offers a distinctive alternative in a crowded class. The Veloce trim that Jack Nerad tested features adaptive dampers, optional 20-inch alloy wheels, and performance-tuned steering for sharper handling. Its turbocharged four-cylinder engine is teamed with standard with all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic transmission. Inside, the Tonale offers leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats, a 10.25-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. With its distinctive styling, including the test car's optional Verde Fangio green paint and signature LED lighting, the Tonale Veloce brings premium European character to the compact SUV segment. At a special Toyota event in Plano, Texas, guest co-host Matt DeLorenzo took the wheel of the all-new 2026 Toyota Corolla Hatchback FX Edition. The colorful trim builds on the SE model with unique visual and functional upgrades that nod to the original 1980s-vintage FX16. It features a black vented sport wing for added aerodynamic flair, 18-inch gloss white alloy wheels, and retro FX badging on the rear hatch. Inside, it offers suede-trimmed sport seats accented by orange contrast stitching, a seven-inch digital gauge cluster, and standard wireless charging. The FX is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 169 horsepower, and offers a sporty suspension setup and a manufacturer-estimated 33 mpg combined. Only 1,600 units will be offered in the U.S., and it will come in three vibrant color choices: Inferno, Ice Cap, and Blue Crush Metallic. In our news segment, we will discuss Cadillac's debut of the 2026 Optiq-V, a performance-oriented electric SUV boasting 519 horsepower, an estimated 275-mile range, and Cadillac's first use of the North American Charging Standard. With dramatic styling, launch control, and a 33-inch LED display, it's yet another move in General Motors' EV strategy. That strategy might take its lumps as the Trump Administration takes steps to roll back Biden-era fuel economy regulations, citing legal issues with the way EVs were factored into earlier targets. While immediate changes are limited, this signals a broader shift in auto policy that could ease pressure on automakers but potentially slow progress toward emissions reduction. Speculation swirled this week about Porsche manufacturing cars in the U.S., but the company denied any such plans, citing low volumes and high costs. Despite that, ongoing tariff talks and Volkswagen Group's broader American investment strategy suggest the door may not be fully closed. Matt DeLorenzo and Jack Nerad will share their thoughts on those prospects. Tesla also made headlines with the resignation of Milan Kovac, head of its Optimus robot project. Kovac played a major role in developing Tesla's humanoid robotics program, and his departure raises questions about the future of the bold, still-developing initiative. In Los Angeles, the Petersen Automotive Museum has launched its *“Totally Awesome! Cars and Culture of the '80s and '90s”* exhibit. With standout vehicles like the McLaren F1, Audi S1 E2 rally car, and Ferris Bueller's Ferrari replica, the show is a nostalgic and immersive look at two transformative automotive decades. Our special guest this week is Doron Levin, a longtime automotive journalist and editor at BetterInvesting, who joins us to share his insights on where the industry is heading. Jack caught up with him at a Toyota event in Texas. Finally,

Doron Levin is the Editor-in-Chief of Better Investing Magazine. To offer your own advice, call Zak @ 844-935-BEST TRANSCRIPT: ZAK: When anyone starts talking about investing, I get so bored. But I know it's pretty important to pay attention, at least to some basic principles when it comes to this stuff. And so, I talked to longtime financial journalist, Doron Levin. He says for young people especially, their greatest asset might be time. DORON: When you've just gotten your first job, it's very, very important to start investing and it's very, very important to realize that money invested over time can generate tremendous sums. So you have the compounded annual growth rate...let's say an average of 7% which is what you get in the stock market, generally speaking. Over time that can generate massive amounts of money. So if you start when you're in your 20's, by the time you're 50 you can have money that will pay for your kids' college, that will buy you a house on the lake, that will allow you to retire, that will allow to change jobs or allow you to do a lot of things and give you a lot of freedom but you have to start early and recognize that time is an asset. ZAK: Even if you're making, like, 30-thousand dollars a year? DORON: Even if you're making $30,000 and all you can put aside is $1,000, you should definitely do that. And then if you get a job at a place that has a 401k, which is a retirement account taht allows that money to compound, tax-free, then you should do that as well. There are lots of stories of janitors, teachers, fireman, people like that who retire with tremendous, tremendous pension accounts or tremendous savings accounts simply because they over time always invested and never spent that money and allowed it to accumulate and allow it to generate even more and more interest and the amounts become exponential. ZAK: Doron Levin is the editor-in-chief of Better Investing Magazine. If you have some pragmatic life-advice that we should hear, give me a call on the hotline at 844-935-BEST.

Doron Levin joins the Marketplace Roundtable podcast to discuss his views on the transportation sector and picks for 2020 as featured in his Auto/Mobility Investors research service. Levin is a longtime journalist covering the auto and transportation sector. Based in Detroit, he focuses on the global automobile "plus mobility" industry. This includes not just cars and automotive suppliers, but "the idea that personal transportation is changing its nature." It's not just about car ownership, in fact many people may not even want to own a car at all. "We're really moving to an autonomous future where cars I believe will drive themselves and of course all of this will change the investment picture in the automobile and mobility sector," says Levin. This begs the question: How close are we to fully autonomous vehicles? Nobody knows for sure, but advances are being made all the time. Companies to watch are often outside the automobile sector, including Google (GOOG, GOOGL), and Intel (INTC) that recently acquired a company called Mobileye. Many are startups. When it comes to "traditional" auto stocks, Levin likes Hyundai Motor Corp. (HYMLF) and is bearish on Nissan Motor Co. (NSANY). Topics Covered 1:45 - Background, specifically regarding the auto sector. 5:00 - How close are we to having autonomous vehicles? 8:15 - How does this translate into picking stocks in the auto sector? 11:45 - The future of individual car ownership 16:45 - Short term issues in the auto sector 19:15 - What concerns you? 21:45 - Something that gives you confidence 25:00 - Favorite picks (HYMLF) (INTC) and companies to avoid (NSANY) (RNSDF) Learn more about your ad choices.
