Remember when car guys road tested cars? With the current crossover SUV craze in full swing, those days seem to be over, and who are we to say it's a bad thing. In this week's episode of *America on the Road*, host Jack Nerad and co-host Chris Teague take the wheels of two five-seat SUVs: the all-new and mass-market-priced 2025 Chevrolet Equinox and the premium-oriented 2025 Mazda CX-70 Turbo S Premium. Chevrolet's 2025 Equinox enters its fourth generation with a tasteful redesign, both inside and out. Under the hood, it offers a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel-drive models are paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), while all-wheel-drive versions feature an 8-speed automatic transmission. The interior shows it modernity, boasting an 11-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen powered by Google . It also offers something the battery-electric version of the Equinox doesn't, and we'll tell you what that is, along with our overall review of the attractive SUV, in our road test segment. With a starting price around $28,600, the Equinox might well grab your attention. But how does it compare to the leaders in the compact SUV segment? We'll offer our opinions. While co-host Chris Teague was putting the Chevy Equinox to the test, host Jack Nerad was piloting a fascinating newcomer— the 2025 Mazda CX-70 Turbo S Premium. A reasonably new Mazda nameplate, the CX-70 is a midsize SUV that doesn't shy away from performance. Equipped with a 3.3-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine delivering 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, it offers a spirited driving experience. At least as spirited a a midsize crossover is likely to be. The handsome SUV features a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, standard all-wheel drive, and a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds. Inside, the CX-70 impresses with red Nappa leather seats, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 12.3-inch infotainment display. Additional amenities include a panoramic sunroof, a Bose 12-speaker audio system, and a comprehensive suite of safety features. Priced at $52,450, it positions itself as a high-value alternative to European luxury SUVs. But it does have a foible or two, which we'll describe in the road test segment. In the News Ram 1500 Express Returns: Ram announces the 2026 Ram 1500 Express, a value-focused pickup starting at $44,495, featuring bold styling and a choice between a 305-hp V6 or a 420-hp turbocharged I-6 engine. Mercedes-Benz Expands U.S. Production: Mercedes-Benz plans to produce a new vehicle at its Tuscaloosa, Alabama plant by 2027, aligning with its strategy to localize production amid rising U.S. tariffs. Congress Challenges California's Gasoline Vehicle Ban: The U.S. House of Representatives votes to repeal California's ban on gasoline car sales, sparking debates on consumer choice, environmental impact, and economic implications. Ford Cancels $10 Billion Software Initiative: Ford abruptly ends its ambitious FNV4 software project after significant investment, raising questions about the company's future in vehicle software development. Special Guest In this week's interview segment,Tyson Jominy, Vice President of Data and Analytics at J.D. Power, joins the show to discuss the impact of tariffs on the automotive industry and offers insights for consumers planning to purchase a vehicle this year. Thanks for joing America on the Road* for your weekly dose of expert reviews, industry news, and valuable insights to keep you informed on the latest in the automotive world.

The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona and the 2025 Polestar 3 Launch Edition are two of the quickest vehicles we've ever road-tested. Their sizzling 0-60-mile-per-hour times might also set your hair on fire. Yet, as quick as those two battery-electrics and as technologically savvy as they are, they are very different. That's what co-host Matt DeLorenzo and host Jack Nerad discovered as they tested the two vehicles this week. The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona is a bold, all-electric muscle car featuring a sleek, aerodynamic design and cutting-edge technology. Built on Dodge's new STLA Large platform, it delivers up to 670 horsepower in its top performance trim, which allows the Daytona to rocket from 0 to 60 mph in just about 3 seconds. That heart-stopping go-power places it among the quickest modern performance cars. Its most controversial feature is the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust that delivers ersatz muscle car sounds, which thrilled one of our hosts and turned off the other. The 2025 Polestar 3 Launch Edition aims to redefine the luxury electric SUV with its minimalist Scandinavian styling, 489 horsepower, 620 lb-ft of torque, and all-wheel drive. Despite weighing over 5,000 pounds, it manages a brisk 0–60 mph time of about 4.5 seconds, helped by active air suspension and torque vectoring. Inside, it offers premium touches like ventilated Nappa leather seats, a panoramic glass roof, a Bowers & Wilkins sound system, and a slick Android Automotive OS with Google built-in. But is its reliance on the large 14.5-inch touchscreen for most functions distracting? Is its $88,100 price with options just too high? And will it be the victim of Chinese tariffs? Matt and Jack will have the answers. We have two great guests for you this week. Danielle Livingston is a marketing expert, and Jake Robin is a product expert on the brand-new Toyota 4Runner. Jack Nerad had a chance to chat with them recently about that very cool new SUV, so we're sure you'll enjoy what they have to say. We have an EV expert with us this week, so it's appropriate that we look at the current state of EVs in the United States and where the market might be headed. J.D. Power's E-Vision report is the source of our conversation starters. Of course, tariffs in the auto industry continue to grab headlines. Again this week, with veteran industry reporter Matt DeLorenzo aboard, we'll tell you what is real and what is hype and give you thoughts on how you should proceed if you're planning to buy a car. So we have tons of show for you this week. Jack Nerad's newest book Jack is now offering his newest crime novel, Only One Thing Stays the Same, at a pre-publication price of just $4.99.

This week co-host Chris Teague and host Jack Nerad were up to their eyeballs in modern luxury. Teague had the honor of testing the newest model from the prestigious Genesis brand, while Nerad took the wheel of the performance version of the brand's dedicated battery-electric SUV. Both were equipped with the top-rated powertrains in each model's lineup, and both provided impressive eye candy both inside and out. The 2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe Chris tested features a high-performance powertrain—a "twin-charged" V6 engine with both a turbocharger and an “electric supercharger,” delivering 409 horsepower. Inside, it swaps the standard GV80's three-row layout for a sportier two-row cabin, highlighted by a sweeping 27.0-inch digital display and racy design touches like a flat-bottomed steering wheel and metal-accented pedals. Nerad tested the 2025 Genesis GV60 Performance AWD, a small, battery-electric SUV built for enthusiasts, featuring dual motors that produce up to 429 horsepower—or 483 horsepower in Boost Mode. Powered by a 77.4 kWh battery and riding on Hyundai's E-GMP platform, it pairs sharp performance with high-end comfort, offering Nappa leather seats, a 12.3-inch digital cockpit, Bang & Olufsen audio, and cutting-edge tech like facial recognition and fingerprint authentication. With sleek touches like 21-inch wheels and a Vision Roof, it delivers both dynamic driving and premium convenience in a zero-emissions package. But at $72,000 as-tested is it a smart luxury-vehicle buy? Jack and Chris will offer their opinions. We have a primo guest this week. Bob Broderdorf is the chief executive officer of the Jeep brand and he has also served in top positions with Ram and Dodge. With the American car market in turmoil recently, he will describe how the legendary Jeep brand is making its way forward. We think you'll enjoy the discussion he had with host Jack Nerad. In the news this week, Nissan has announced some new products for North America as it tries to shore up its position here in the United States. We'll have details. Hyundai has just announced that it is making a huge investment in U.S. manufacturing and parts operations, and it includes the establishment of new plant that is likely the first in decades. We'll have more on that. Porsche is upping its tech game, perhaps in response to the BMW announcement we told you about last week. And Toyota has announced a new racing series that might get Chris into the cockpit on the race course. We'll tell you all about that coming up. So we have a lot of show for you this week.

Performance enthusiasts and luxury SUV shoppers have two compelling new options to consider in the automotive landscape. We take a deep dive into the track-focused 2025 Subaru WRX TS and the premium 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV, exploring what makes each vehicle unique in today's market.The WRX TS emerges as Subaru's answer to drivers seeking track-day thrills in a practical sedan package. With its aluminum hood and fenders, gold Brembo brakes, and moonroof delete, this performance-oriented trim delivers the genuine WRX experience with enhanced capabilities. The 271-horsepower turbocharged boxer engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission offers an increasingly rare connection between driver and machine. Inside, Recaro seats hold you firmly through corners while the new 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster displays performance data to satisfy data-hungry enthusiasts. At $45,750, the TS positions itself competitively against rivals like the Golf R and GR Corolla.Shifting gears completely, the 2025 Mazda CX-70 showcases a different automotive philosophy—luxury, efficiency, and distinctive styling. This two-row SUV borrows the platform of its CX-90 sibling but eliminates the third row for enhanced cargo capacity. The PHEV model combines a 2.5-liter engine with electric components to deliver 323 horsepower and exceptional fuel economy (up to 56 mpg when fully charged). The copper exterior paired with red Nappa leather interior creates a bold aesthetic statement, while quilted seats and high-quality materials elevate the cabin experience. Starting at $57,450 for PHEV models, this premium crossover delivers luxury-adjacent features at a competitive price point.We also explore the phenomenon of "carguments"—those inevitable disagreements that occur during road trips.

Scott Hoke from Mecum Auctions joins us from Indianapolis to share what makes the upcoming Houston auction such a compelling destination for car enthusiasts. With his broadcasting career spanning back to 1979, Scott brings decades of automotive passion to our conversation about collector cars and the unique experience Mecum creates."It's the best car show that you'll ever attend because you're probably going to find something or see something that you've never seen before," Scott explains, highlighting how Mecum events offer value beyond just bidding opportunities. The nostalgia factor drives deep connections as visitors reminisce about cars from their past – whether personally owned, admired from afar, or part of family history.The Houston auction, happening April 3-5 at NRG Center, will feature approximately 1,000 vehicles including several standout offerings. A 1963 Chevy II Nova convertible with dark blue exterior and baseball glove leather interior promises to turn heads, while Corvette enthusiasts will appreciate several examples including a rare 2019 ZR1. Second-generation Ford GTs from 2005-2006 continue showing strong market performance and will likely command significant attention.We also take the 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV for a test drive. This new addition to Mazda's lineup slots between the CX-50 and CX-90, essentially offering the larger CX-90 platform without the third row. With a distinctive copper exterior paired with red Nappa leather interior, the vehicle makes a bold visual statement. The plug-in hybrid system delivers impressive efficiency when charged, though the 26-mile electric-only range raises questions about the premium price over traditional gasoline models.Whether you're a serious collector ready to bid or simply appreciate automotive history and craftsmanship, both the Mecum Auction and our detailed vehicle reviews offer something valuable.

En ny elbil vil ændre spillet – og en anden overgiver sig til priskrigen. Andre satser benhårdt på billige elbiler. Hør alle historierne i denne uges Bilradio. Efter måneders usikkerhed er det nu officielt: Zeekr indtager det danske marked. Mærkets mest spændende model, Zeekr 7X, skiller sig ud med lang rækkevidde, men især med lynopladning, der ser ud til at sætte nye standarder. Bilen lander samtidig i en af de mest populære klasser herhjemme. Mens Zeekr går i offensiven, er XPeng presset i defensiven. Den populære G6-model falder nu i pris med op til 40.000 kr. XPeng G9 får dog en anden behandling. I stedet for prisnedsættelser tilføjes ekstraudstyr uden merpris, bl.a. Dynaudio-lydsystem, Nappa-læder og sædemassage. Jeep Avenger sænker prisen permanent efter et meget kortvarigt brandudsalg i efteråret. Volkswagen ID.1 er på vej som en prisvenlig elbil til ca. 150.000 kr. – dog først i 2027. Kia EV2 og EV4 skal tage kampen op mod Tesla Model 3 og Hyundai Inster. Jaguar I-Pace tilbagekaldes i USA pga. brandfare, men danske ejere må vente på svar. Det, der skulle have været Japans største bilfusion, er nu officielt aflyst. Nissan og Honda kunne ikke blive enige om magtfordelingen, og dermed forbliver de to mærker konkurrenter. Peugeot forsøgte at trække deres otteårige Allure Care-garanti tilbage for hundredvis af kunder, men efter massivt pres må de nu give sig. Volvo har præsenteret EX30 Cross Country, en hævet og rå version af deres mindste elbil. Med 428 hk, AWD og ekstra plastbeskyttelse ser den robust ud – men er den virkelig en eventyrbil?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Buzz on the Volkswagen ID.Buzz: 2 Weeks in America's New Favorite Box

The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz is the most buzzworthy vehicle to hit American highways this decade. Combining the exterior style of the classic Microbus with the chassis of a thoroughly modern electric vehicle, the ID.Buzz is a crowd-pleaser that stops traffic, as Host Jack Nerad discovered during his two weeks with the vehicle. Its exterior design features LED lighting, retro-inspired wheels, and optional two-tone paint that pays homage to its iconic predecessor. But the drivetrain is anything but retro. The ID.Buzz is powered by a 91-kWh battery and offers two drivetrain configurations: rear-wheel-drive with 282 horsepower and an EPA-estimated range of 234 miles and 4Motion all-wheel-drive with 335 horsepower and a range of 231 miles. Charging is efficient, with DC fast charging replenishing 10-80% in just 26 minutes. Inside, the ID. Buzz boasts a spacious and customizable interior, offering up to 145.5 cubic feet of cargo space, flexible seating, and advanced technology, including a 12.9-inch infotainment display, IQ.Drive driver assistance, and wireless charging. It's a stark contrast to Nerad's 1968 Type 2 “Early Bay” Bus, powered by a 57-horsepower 1600cc engine that delivered a 0-60 mph time of 37 seconds and a top speed of 65 mph. But is the ID.Buzz as good a value as that long-gone college-era VW? Nerad will have the answer. In our other road test this week, Co-Host Chris Teague will have the answer on the all-new 2025 Ford Ranger. A finalist for North American Truck of the Year, the Ranger boasts a new engine that makes it much more competitive versus rivals that include the Chevrolet Colorado, Nissan Frontier, and the Toyota Tacoma. Teague is a Toyota fan, but does he see the Ranger as the better midsize truck? He'll give his verdict in this episode. Driving News Our look at Driving News this week features a headline-grabbing development that could reshape the industry. Nissan and Honda, two global giants with big U.S. footprints, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore a potential integration. If it goes forward, this partnership could see the companies combining their efforts in electrification, platform sharing, and advanced vehicle intelligence. With plans for a joint holding company by 2026, this is a story with far-reaching implications for drivers everywhere. In more amusing news, Hyundai has achieved an incredible and largely esoteric feat with its Ioniq 5 electric vehicle, earning a Guinness World Records title for the greatest altitude change ever by an electric car. Over 14 grueling days, the Ioniq 5 covered more than 4,900 kilometers across India, traveling from the Himalayas' highest drivable point to below sea level in Kerala. But what does this record prove? Jack and Chris will offer their opinions. Switching gears to luxury, Jack and Chris will also offer their opinions on the 2025 Genesis G80 3.5T Sport Prestige AWD, a sedan that blends advanced technology, stunning design, and exceptional performance. Powered by a twin-turbocharged V6, the G80 delivers a smooth, refined ride while packing a punch under the hood. Inside, it's all about premium touches, from Nappa leather seating to a cutting-edge OLED instrument cluster. Our two reporters will deliver their verdicts in this show This week's guest is Brian Jannusch, a Nissan GT-R expert with a passion for the legendary sports car. From its iconic engineering to his quest to drive one at the Nurburgring, Brian shares fascinating insights into what makes the GT-R so special. It's a conversation that will resonate with sports car fans and anyone who appreciates automotive excellence. The episode also tackles practical advice with safety tips for 2025 from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. As the year begins, it's a good time to revisit basics like seatbelt use, sober driving, and staying alert on the road. Simple steps can make a big difference in preventing accidents and keeping your loved ones safe.

The Acura ZDX Type S is the brand's most powerful SUV, offering a performance-tuned dual-motor AWD powertrain with an estimated 500 horsepower. But how will it contend with late fall in the great state of Maine? Co-host Chris Teague found out this week, and he'll share his findings in this episode. Priced from around $70,000, the ZDX Type S features height-adjustable air suspension, adaptive dampers, and Brembo brakes. Its muscular stance is enhanced by 22-inch wheels and available high-performance summer tires. But summer tires weren't especially appropriate as Maine threw a wintery mix of snow and sleet at Teague as he drove Acura's new battery-electric SUV built by General Motors. In fact, it includes Acura's Hands Free Cruise (GM SuperCruise) and Automatic Parking Assist technologies alongside the AcuraWatch 360+ safety suite. How did the ZDX fare in Maine's difficult conditions? Teague will have a full report. In our other road test this week, host Jack Nerad reveled in his time behind the wheel of the Genesis G70 sports sedan. The test model was the top-end G70 AWD 3.3T Sport Prestige trim that delivers a blend of luxury, performance, and cutting-edge technology at a surprisingly reasonable price of $53,350, including a $1,250 destination charge. Powered by a robust 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, the sedan boasts Brembo brakes and an electronically controlled suspension, making it feel delightfully agile. The Sport Prestige package enhances the sleek sedan's appeal with Nappa leather seating, heated rear seats and steering wheel, a head-up display, a surround-view monitor, and a power trunk lid. Standard features include forward collision avoidance and blind-spot monitoring, a 10.25-inch multimedia display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a premium 15-speaker Lexicon audio system, and conveniences like heated and ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and wireless charging. How much did Nerad love it? He'll tell you in this report. This week, Volkswagen and Rivian entered into a strategic partnership, and we'll tell you what that could mean for each brand. For one of them, it could mean survival in the increasingly hostile EV landscape. Honda has pulled the wraps off the new 2026 Passport SUV, and it is the most rugged Honda we've seen yet. The TrailSport version boasts an off-road suspension, all-terrain tires, increased ground clearance, and steel skid plates.

For the 2024 model year, Mercedes-AMG is upgrading the performance-oriented GLS 63 three-row SUV by adding to its generous list of standard equipment. If you think a performance-oriented three-row SUV is sort of a silly idea, well, you probably haven't driven a GLS 63. But co-host Chris Teague has, and he reports on all the details of his weeklong stint in the flagship of the AMG SUV family. The 2024 GLS 63 gets new appearance items inside and out — a new rear light signature and a Nappa leather-cover instrument panel among the new features. It also has been endowed with a newly standard panoramic sliding sunroof, heated and ventilated front seats, adaptive high-beam headlights, selectable AMG Performance exhaust system, Burmester surround sound system, 360-degree surround view system and blind spot assist. Of course, the heart of the GLS 63 is under the hood, where lies the handcrafted AMG 4.0-liter V8 Biturbo engine that produces 603 horsepower. For use in the big SUV, it has been systematically electrified with a 48-volt auxiliary on-board electrical system and integrated starter generator. The result of this mild-hybrid system is even smoother and more powerful drivability. Chris Teague will tell you the rest in this episode. While Teague was testing the $150,000+ AMG GLS 63, Host Jack Nerad was behind the wheel of the 2024 Mazda Mazda 3 Turbo. While it seems the co-host got the best of it, Nerad found there was nothing shabby about the performance or equipment of the $36,000 Mazda3. In an ocean of compact cars, the hatchback stands out for its premium looks, exquisite interior, and fun-to-drive persona. No, its 256 horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine and standard all-wheel-drive give it a verve that few compacts can match. And we'll have other thoughts coming up in this episode. In this week's news segment, Stellantis, the owners of the Jeep, RAM Truck, Dodge, and Chrysler brands, is trying to stave off rumors that it will merge with France-based Renault. We'll tell you more about that and its implications coming up. Ford is facing disruptions to the product of its F-150 and F-150 Lightning pickup trucks, which could cost you if you're seeking a new Ford truck. And while Toyota has not been bullish about electric vehicles, it has just announced a giant new EV production facility to be based in Kentucky. We'll have more on both stories. We are also sad to report the imminent demise of yet another legendary vehicle. We'll tell you what it is and when it goes away in this week's show. This week, our special guest is Katelyn Salzman, Lexus expert on the all-new Lexus GX SUV. Host Jack Nerad recently had a chance to drive the GX and then sat down with her to discuss the details of what is a more exciting vehicle than ever before. We think you'll enjoy our conversation.

Over the last several years, I don't think there is anyone who has not been touched by loss or some kind of grief.  Today's guest, author, and literary agent Mike Nappa is incredibly familiar with loss and living with grief. In 2016, he lost his beloved wife, Amy, to cancer. In his learning how to live life without her, God has shown him why grieving is such an important part of losing a loved one. As Mike says, he learned how to cry into his keyboard and produced one of the most poignant books that bears witness to grief that I have ever personally encountered. It is called Reflections for the Grieving Soul: Meditations and Scripture for Finding Hope After Loss.   We are often so uncomfortable with grief and treat it like it is a problem to be solved. However, God Himself, in all three persons of the Trinity, grieves, and we are made in His image. It isn't sinful to grieve. Mike says: “There are things in this world worth loving enough to grieve, and if we don't grieve well, we are taking away from the image of God within us.” Although, as we'll discuss in this episode, there are ways to grieve well and there are also ways to grieve poorly and even destructively.  The depths of grief isn't a place where we want to live permanently, but we have to hold space for it or it will make itself known in other ways. When we don't walk this journey, we miss out on the blessings for those who mourn.   There are quite a few tears shed during this episode, but honest, perhaps blessed, tears. I would like to offer this episode as a benevolent witness and comfort to whoever might need it in this season. The Lord promises blessing and comfort for us, dear ones. He is near to you. You matter, and Your story matters.    Connecting with Mike: Books and other publications Facebook Website   Please consider joining our Patreon community.

He then proceeds to try to reschedule immediately for the next day at 11am I say can we do 2pm he says no we can't let's do Monday 2pm I say okay Monday 2pm he says great I say great and then he says actually we can do tomorrow Friday 2pm i say perfect cool then Friday at 11am he says you must think we're crazy but we're actually just short-handed can you do monday 2pm and then i showed up today Monday at 2pm and the guy is 10 minutes late, I text the guy and he said "oh Philip's not there?" Philip the minion shows up within 1 minute of me texting, Philip says haha it's good thing our office is right around the corner and he points to a building literally right behind the rental and gives me the dorkiest fcking smile and I want to drown Philip in a puddle. We go to open the door and he doesn't have the right keypad code. I stand around in the rain for about 5 minutes while he calls and texts people and then he's like oh we can just try the other side of the duplex and I asked if the other side is the same layout and price and furnishings and he said no so I said no and so we sat in the rain for another 5 minutes and he finally gets the code and we go in. It looks like the last tenant had just left, all the lights and tvs are on and trash cans full, poop splatters on the toilet and it smells like cat piss. Despite this, I message the property manager that I am interested and would like to move forward with my application and he likes my message and says nothing else. $1400/month. a few years ago, a property manager was stunned that I requested to inspect the house before signing a legal document that said we conducted an inspection and told me I was the first person to ever do so. He addressed me as "Gay bro" in a text and it was never acknowledged $1754/month 440 sq feet #italiano #realestateagent #propertymanagement When you were investing in real estate, I studied the blade.

One of the struggles that hit every family in some way is when you lose someone you love. Today's guest, Mike Nappa, lost his beloved wife, Amy, to cancer in 2016. In the years since her passing God has helped him to learn why grieving is such an important part of losing a loved one and how He's taught him how to grieve well.  This is one of the most touching and informative interviews I've done.  Mike has such a heart for those who are walking their own grief journey, and he truly wants to help those who are hurting as well as those who are trying to be there for them and understand their pain and what they need. He shares what one friend does for him every year on the anniversary of his wife's death (which, by the way is September 11) and why that has helped him to not only grieve that day well but also to look forward to it. Mike also talks about how his then three-year-old granddaughter struggled with her own grief and how one teacher recognized and helped her deal with her grief in the middle of a meltdown. He also gives wise advice to someone who is in the depth of despair in their grief journey. Before I interviewed Mike, I asked my mom if she had any questions she'd like me to ask him since she's not quite three years out from losing my dad. He was genuinely happy to answer her question. Mike truly is one of the nicest guys I've ever had the pleasure of talking to and I know our conversation will be a blessing to you.

How do you move forward after deep loss? How do you avoid growing angry with God? Mike Nappa served in ministry for years and co-authored a number of books with his wife, Amy, before losing her to cancer in 2016. In response to this loss, Mike wrote his newest book, Reflections for the Grieving Soul. In this important conversation you will not learn to “get over grief," to “shorten the stages of grief,” or anything of the sort. Instead, you will learn the healthy practice of grieving well as Nappa aims to create a safe spaces for people to walk through sorrow towards lasting healing.

Even though it may not feel like it, grief can be a source of great hope. The way that we react against what is wrong comes from a deep desire for things to be made right. Our loss may actually lead to healing and restoration. The Bible assures us that better days are coming when God Himself will wipe every tear from our eyes. “There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain,” it says in Revelation, “for the old order of things has passed away.” (Revelation 21:3-4) Our guests this week have walked through deep and unexpected grief and what even seemed like unfair losses. Best-selling Christian author Philip Yancey uncovered a shocking secret about his father's death while he was still in college, one that illuminated the sometimes overbearing religious convictions of his mother. Yancey shares how he dove into his family's origins and how he ultimately found healing from what he calls “toxic faith.” After nearly thirty years of marriage, author Mike Nappa lost his dear wife, Amy, to cancer. Mike turned to scripture to help him get through the day and to cope with processing his grief—and even today, he sees how grief and joy can coexist.   Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Eddie Montgomery Upcoming interview: Leslie Schilling Samaritan's Purse: https://sampur.se/44HesSt  Revelation 21:3-4 NIV   Philip Yancey Christianity Today magazine  The Jesus I Never Knew What's So Amazing About Grace?

And then one day you wake up and wonder, Is this just a learned behavior pattern that I have, or is it genuine? Am I really connecting to the God of the universe?“ - Philip Yancey “I started looking for people who were made larger by their faith.“ - Philip Yancey “Don't just give up on God because of the way God may have been presented to you. It's worth that quest to try to find who God really is and to find that God loves you. And God indeed does imagine a role for you on this earth that no one else has. That's why we were created. We were created in God's image to reflect something of God back to others.” - Philip Yancey “There's nothing that you can do to get God to love you more. No amount of spiritual calisthenics, no amount of trying to be more spiritual than everybody else—there's nothing you can do for God to love you less.” - Philip Yancey “God wants to remake us in a way that's good for us. God wants to restore us. God wants to give us a calling, a reason for being, a reason to live on this planet, and grace is the attitude that God has toward us all the time.” - Philip Yancey “I understand that God is really who He said He was, just like I thought He was before, in the moments of great joy and in the moments of great sorrow. And He is always near in the moments of great joy, and when it gets hard, He doesn't step back and run away. He'll just stand there and stay with you.” - Mike Nappa  “The grief that we have is not something to be thrown aside any more than love would be thrown aside. The grief that we have is something to visit and understand and take value and take benefit from.” - Mike Nappa “I don't have to be consumed by grief. It can just be part of who I am as I also experience joy and happiness.” - Mike Nappa ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

※ 投稿邮箱:418150505@qq.com※ 本文章首发订阅号:百车全说,订阅号阅读更加方便,欢迎关注。说到20-30万的新能源轿车,你首先会想到哪些车型?是特斯拉MODEL 3,比亚迪汉,还是小鹏P7这些车型?不过这些车型各有各的长处,但是论颜值,真正算好看的也就小鹏P7了吧?毕竟小鹏诞生至今,虽然旗下已经有了五款产品,但是P7一直还是小鹏的主力车型。至于它卖得好,那肯定是因为它的颜值。尤其是在2020年刚上市的那段时期,当时本身新能源车就没几台,P7一出来绝对是惊艳了整个中国市场,原来纯电轿车也可以做的这么漂亮。到现在,P7靠颜值每个月依旧能收获四五千的订单,而且当你走近小鹏的提车中心,目前交付车型最多的也是P7。所以有的时候我也很纳闷,为什么小鹏要在智能驾驶上一条路走到黑呢?明明卖得最好的P7就是靠颜值歪打正着才让小鹏火起来的。如果没有P7的存在,我敢肯定,混的一定要比现在还惨,在不在都得两说。不过随着各大车企的步伐的加快,很多造型更好看的新能源轿跑相继诞生。比如哪吒S、飞凡F7。甚至哪吒直接推出了双门轿跑车哪吒GT,价格更便宜,只要17.88-22.68万。且就在最近,另一款公认颜值很高的四门轿跑纯电车型上市了,埃安的昊铂GT,售价21.99-33.99万。这车一出来,很多人就好奇了,昊铂现在到底和埃安什么关系?这个价格是不是真便宜?和同价位竞品怎么选?所以今天这期节目就来聊聊埃安昊铂GT这款车。昊铂和埃安现在到底是什么关系?广汽埃安一直用的G字头的标,心里一直想独立出来,放开手脚干。所以昊铂系列算是埃安的亲儿子,与广汽关系不大。而目前昊铂最关键但是拉升品牌知名度,占领消费者心智。无论正面的,负面的新闻,但凡有热度都得蹭一蹭。就在前几天,近百辆昊铂GT在猎德大桥上“七翼”齐开,号称是史上最大规模旋翼门车队巡游,说自己创造了最大规模旋翼门车队巡游的世界纪录。网友调侃,出门转一圈就创造了一个世界纪录?还有之前的Hyper SSR售价100多万,网友问哪个冤大头会买这玩意儿?无论怎样,被人吐槽总比安安静静的死掉要好的多,昊铂目前就是要搞流量,要刷存在感。至于昊铂GT 21.99-33.99万的值不值,就得看营销手段高不高明了。毕竟这个价位的客户也都是什么都想要,而不是仅仅想玩一台很炫酷的电动车而已。所以目前来看,昊铂就是一个全新的独立品牌。据了解,昊铂6月份的时候完成了100家的渠道触点打造,包括体验中心、商超展示中心,称为昊铂中心和昊铂空间。预计到7月底,至少有160-180家左右的专属渠道。其次,昊铂是埃安旗下的全新高端子品牌。自去年10月埃安Hyper SSR亮相以来,昊铂这个品牌就诞生了。所以昊铂和埃安的关系非常类似奥迪和大众、腾势和比亚迪之间的关系。昊铂首款亮相的产品Hyper SSR预售价128.6万,也说明昊铂定位就想冲击高端市场。而且,昊铂也有了自己的官网和APP。当然,品牌LOGO也有,官方称之为AI神箭,这个源于品牌AION,并且形状也是一个向上的箭头,外形也酷似字母A。其实,埃安其实一直想从广汽独立出去,但是由于广汽的股比问题,很难实现。现在的埃安昊铂品牌,启用全新标识,应该算是正式独立的标志之一。之前发布的第一款车Hyper SSR,售价128.6-168.6万,算是玩个概念,拉升一下品牌调性。有点当年蔚来第一款车发布EP9一样,为后期的车型定价定好基调,铺好路。昊铂GT的售价真的便宜吗?一句话总结,昊铂GT的颜值很出众,但是售价绝对不算便宜。第一,昊铂GT的颜值很出众,亮点也很鲜明。但如果去掉旋翼门,就是一款很普通的电动轿车。新车是基于埃安最新纯电专属平台AEP3.0平台和星灵电子电气架构的第一款量产车,也是昊铂品牌的首款量产车。它的长宽高分别为4886/1885/1449毫米,轴距2920毫米,定位中大型轿车。据说新车的风阻系数仅为0.197,这也是为什么它只有一个59.9度的电池,但是续航却有560公里的主要原因之一。因为风阻系数每降低0.01,可将纯电动车续航里程提升5-8公里。比如奔驰的电动车,续航达成率的确很好,跟他的电动车风阻系数低有很大关系。但是大家公认的奔驰电动车奇形怪状,奇丑无比,其实风阻系数最低的车身形态,应该是水滴状,奔驰的电动轿车,就是无限接近于水滴状造型设计的。虽然昊铂GT的风阻很低,但是它的车身比例却很协调。比如它的前悬明显要比后悬短,符合传统后驱车的设定。并且它的腰线很高,侧窗面积也不大,所以就营造出了跑车的既视感。因为造型运动的跑车、轿跑车的侧窗面积都不大。同时,虽然昊铂GT是标准的三厢车造型,没有掀背尾门,但是尾部却有巨大的溜背设计。且在后轮拱上方还有突出的宽体设计,这点和很多美系肌肉的设计就很像,从后面看过去有点大马力后驱车的范儿。在内饰上新车的设计虽然没有外观那么惊艳,但和对手比,也不算特别差。8.8英寸的液晶仪表加14.6英寸中控屏中规中矩,车机用上了ADiGO 5.0智能OS,搭载高通骁龙8155座舱芯片。并配备高德地图、网易云、爱奇艺、优酷、b站、芒果TV、咪咕快游、喜马拉雅等当下主流的APP,这也是常规操作。同时,新车还搭载了ADiGO Pilot高阶自动驾驶辅助,配有三颗第二代激光雷达、航天级红外遥感摄像头、全车12颗超声波雷达、10颗摄像头(含盲区影像、全景影像以、车道识别、变道识别),不过这个高阶驾驶辅助需要选装,价格为2.5万元。但要说最大的亮点,新车有三个,首先就是它的旋翼门。但是只有24.59万的七翼版才是标配,其他版本还是普通车门,需要旋翼门得选装。不过24.59万的定价,也是目前市面上最便宜的配备旋翼门的车型。这个设计和小鹏P7的鹏翼版有异曲同工之妙,但是小鹏P7的鹏翼性能版,售价要到33.99万。虽然是四个车门,但是前排两个被设计成了旋翼门,后排两个是正常的平开门。再加上全车都是无框车门,所以当车门打开上下车的时候,你绝对是街上最靓的仔。同时,这个车门是电动的,且配备雷达感知系统和360度环境感知,遇到障碍能及时调整开门角度,主动避免磕碰。不过有了这个门,唯一的缺点就是停车的时候,你得离隔壁车稍微远一点,不然的话车门打不开你出不来就非常尴尬了。本来是个很好的耍帅现场,如果因为打不开门出不来,想想都觉得尴尬,用南京话讲就是真活丑。此外,新车还有三段式电动尾翼,类似保时捷帕美的尾翼设计。好像在这个价位的纯电跑车里,目前昊铂GT应该是独一份。之前在燃油轿跑里,最便宜的三段式电动尾翼车型,就是名爵的MG7。所以除了掀背门,昊铂GT集结了几乎所有的跑车亮点。总结来说,在20-30万级别电动车里,虽然它不是尺寸最大的,也不是续航最长的,更不是跑得最快的,但绝对是最帅最能装X的那一台。第二,价格并不便宜。刚刚聊到的三个亮点中,有两个需要选装,旋翼门选装价格2万元,三段式电动尾翼选装价格1.2万。也就是说21.99万、23.99万和25.99万的版本想要变帅,就得多加3.2万。这样一算,最低配的价格秒变25.19万。即便去选择带有蝴蝶门和电动尾翼的版本,价格也要去到24.59万了,落地妥妥的超过25万了。这还没算其他的选装件,比如19英寸轮圈4200元,高速NDA智能领航辅助系统2.5万元,Nappa座椅6600元,热泵空调2000元。所以这么算起来,其实它的价格并不便宜,加上这些选装件价格分分钟逼近30万元。目前新车有两种动力,都为单电机后驱。其中CLTC续航560km、600km版本配备59.9度的三元锂电池和70.1度的磷酸铁锂电池,搭载最大马力245匹、最大扭矩355Nm的电机,百公里加速6.5秒。710km版本车型配备80.1度的三元锂电池,搭载最大马力340匹、最大扭矩430Nm的电机,官方百公里加速4.9秒。冷静下来想想,30多万买个单电机的轿车,是不是有点不太划算。综合来说,昊铂GT的亮点足够突出,但是续航不高,选装件的价格也不菲,配置的安排也并不合理,所以买之前还是要三思。昊铂GT和竞品该怎么选?纵观这个价位的纯电轿车,主流的有特斯拉MODEL 3、比亚迪汉/海豹、小鹏P7、哪吒S、零跑C01等。但是包括昊铂GT在内的这几台中,销量有一大半都被MODEL 3和汉占了去,其中汉DM-i今年上半年卖了4.9985万台,汉EV 4.77万,MODEL 3卖了9.017万台。所以光汉和MODEL 3上半年就卖了接近20万台,所以它俩绝对把这个价位的肉都吃光了,剩下的都是喝汤的。和昊铂GT比,汉EV的长度要更长,长了109毫米。并且同样是60度的电池,昊铂GT卖21.99万,汉EV只卖20.98万。而且汉EV还全系标配FSD可变阻尼悬挂,还有旋转大屏、主驾驶座椅通风、遥控泊车等等。所以论性价比,昊铂GT肯定没有汉EV高。而且别忘了比亚迪的品牌力和销量,尤其是在25万以下,他要是排第二,还真没人敢排第一。买汉EV的消费者一是图品牌力,二是图性价比。所以昊铂GT对于他们来说一是品牌力不够,二是价格太贵,不划算,而且颜值在他们眼里还不如实力来的划算。其次是特斯拉MODEL 3,在尺寸上,昊铂GT比MODEL 3大了一圈,长度长了192毫米,轴距长了45毫米。所以两车摆在一起,明显昊铂GT要更长更宽,内部空间也要更大。且配置上,它俩水平差不多,但是昊铂GT还全系标配了23个喇叭的杜比全景声音响系统。所以和MODEL 3比,昊铂GT的尺寸更大,颜值更高,起售价也更便宜。但是MODEL 3有两点昊铂GT依然比不了,一是特斯拉的品牌力,这个毋庸置疑,不论是品牌知名度还是车型销量,都是顶尖的存在。其次,MODEL 3的操控性也是业内公认的好。虽然昊铂GT和它的底盘悬挂结构一样,前双叉臂后多连杆,但是MODEL 3得益于更小的车身,不论是转向手感还是对于弯中侧倾的抑制都是很不错的,所以很多人都说特斯拉是电车中的宝马,想要一台有操控的电车,选特斯拉就对了,这点确实没毛病。所以在比亚迪和特斯拉强大的品牌和销量面前,我觉得很少有新车型能直接与之抗衡的,只能从某些消费者感知力更强的点下手,比如外观。虽然昊铂GT的品牌是刚诞生的,但是埃安的销量也不低,背后广汽集团,实力也不错。再加上出众的颜值和噱头设计,我觉得确实能掀起一些波澜。所以昊铂GT真正的对手肯定不是它俩,而是小鹏P7、哪吒S、零跑C01、海豹等这些二线车型。但是在这三个中,还得排除一个零跑C01,因为虽然定位都是中大型纯电轿车,但零跑不按套路出牌,直接给你来个大降价。现在62.8度的C01 525舒适版售价只要14.98万,而且像L2级驾驶辅助、10.25英寸的副驾驶娱乐屏、360全景影像也都有,真的是把底裤都给卷没了。在它面前比性价比,连比亚迪汉EV都甘拜下风。最后看来,昊铂GT的直接对手便是小鹏P7和哪吒S。尤其是小鹏P7,我觉得它上市了这么久,大众审美还是有些疲劳了。如果就想要颜值出众的纯电轿车,小鹏P7确实可以排除了,毕竟三年了外观都没变,连中期改款的P7i外观也都改没变。更重要的是,这三款车都推出了蝴蝶门版本。但是说到这估计很多人都纳闷了,原来小鹏P7还有原厂的蝴蝶门版?没错,它的蝴蝶门版本还有个专属的命名叫鹏翼版,目前价格为33.99万。哪吒S其实也有蝴蝶门版,但是和小鹏P7一样,都是顶配才有,售价也不菲,34.18万。所以我觉得昊铂GT就是冲着这两款产品去的,都有蝴蝶门,但是昊铂GT把蝴蝶门的价格打下来了,24万多你就能买到蝴蝶门加无框车门,还送你三段式电动尾翼,整整比小鹏P7和哪吒S的蝴蝶门版本便宜了将近10万。并且在宣传的时候,重心就在这两扇蝴蝶门和电动尾翼上,这也是消费者感知力最强的点。因此昊铂GT不仅车名很有范儿,而且装X的成本也不高。所以从耍帅的角度去看,昊铂GT确实非常不贵,25万的纯电轿车没有一台有电动尾翼的,更别说蝴蝶门了。但是论续航和性价比,昊铂GT就没有那么高了。不过从它的宣传点和价格来看,厂家就是像把昊铂GT打造成同价位最酷最炫的新能源轿车,至于其他的,不一定要第一,有就够了。目前来看,昊铂GT确实做到了,因为买它的人也就是冲着“帅”去的。在当下,想要销量高,那必须有话题性,而有争议的核心必须在与你要会整活。所以昊铂GT就整了一身的花活,流量也就随之而来。因此,我觉得一向以颜值出名的小鹏P7可能迎来了真正的对手。至于哪吒S,本身就不温不火。其实我刚开始看到哪吒S的时候,以为它的蝴蝶门在中低配就有,没想到也是只有顶配才有,所以销量也是再普通不过。总结来说,昊铂GT就一个字——“帅”,并且买它的消费者也是冲着它的颜值和设计去的。配置该怎么选?目前昊铂GT一共有5款配置。虽然最低配的配置也不低,像L2级驾驶辅助、360全景影像、无框车门、电动后备箱、全车无钥匙进入、骁龙8155芯片、23个喇叭的杜比全景声音响,但是我并不推荐这个配置。我倒觉得23.99万的600充换版和24.59万的七翼版才是值得买的配置。有人可能觉得昊铂现在连一个换电站都没有就出了换电版本,买它肯定是大冤种。其实不是,因为推荐买这个版本完全是因为它有70度的电池,比560版本高了10度,所以续航要更高。而且这个版本的配置也要更高,比最低配多了19英寸轮胎、多向调节的座椅、座椅通风按摩、车内氛围灯、车内香氛等,所以这个配置的性价比更高。但是这个配置既没有电动尾翼,也没有蝴蝶门。单纯的想要耍帅,那24.59万的七翼版更适合你,像别的配置需要花3.2万选装的蝴蝶门和三段式电动尾翼,这个配置都是标配。至于710的版本,我就不推荐了,毕竟超过30万了,这个价格我倒觉得小鹏P7的顶配性能鹏翼版更值得买,因为除了蝴蝶门以外,P7i 610鹏翼版还有双电机四驱、XNGP、悬架软硬调节等,明显配置更高。所以昊铂GT在28万以下,它的颜值结合价格还是很有性价比的,但是超过30万就不值了。写在最后其实埃安在这个时候推出昊铂GT是对的,因为埃安的销量最近很高,上个月一共卖了4.5万台,排在中国新能源市场的第三名,第二名是特斯拉,第四名是理想,势头还是很猛的。但是也面临这一个问题,虽然销量很高,但其中有约三分之一都是网约车的销量,所以对B端的依懒性非常高。如果一旦B端的需求变少,那对于埃安的冲击肯定不会小。而且埃安是网约车的形象也是深入人心,想要网高端走非常难。所以埃安寄希望于推出全新的品牌,也就是昊铂系列,陆续推出全新的车型是目前看来唯一出路。这个思路是对的 ,也是它能进军高端的唯一办法。而昊铂的第一款车昊铂GT,也做到了足够有亮点和噱头,起码成功引起了消费者的好奇心。从这点上来看,昊铂GT算是顺风开局吧,今后到底能发展到什么程度,我们也只能一起拭目以待。作者:三刀、新一编辑:新一可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号:

  My guest this week is Adrienne Stillman Krausz, a lady with a very sophisticated palate.  Her passion for fine food and wine began when she lived in Paris during her formative years.  Adrienne went to college in the US but while her fellow students were downing beers and jello shots she was heading downtown to drink expensive craft cocktails. She lives in the Nappa valley with her husband Jake who is a 2nd generation wine maker and as a couple they turned their talents to the alcohol free space. In this episode I think Adrienne is quite unique in that she has "a foot in both camps" as she puts it I love the way that together with her husband they are busy sourcing and curating the very best AF products – with the same care that would go into fine wines As they say on their website they believe that everyone deserves a good drink, whether it has alcohol or not! Adrienne admits that she did sometimes go overboard on the craft cocktails and as a newly married couple two bottles of wine was the norm most evenings She did begin to feel the after effects of that wine in the morning and never really bounced out of bed feeling great As they started to think about having a family Adrienne stopped drinking during the week However that meant that the weekend drinking affected her more Coping with fertility problems led Adrienne to give up drinking completely She also had to give up eating various foods with led to bouts of FOMO when she was socialising She got a taste of what us ex drinkers go through in early sobriety! Happily Adrienne became a mom and now has a 9 month old baby That's when she noticed the mommy juice culture Hanging out with some other moms she was surprised to hear plans to drop off the babies and so they could drink some cocktails She noticed that some wine brands were targeting moms and we agreed that wine was sometimes seen as a “parenting aid” Mommyjuice gives our children the message that it's so difficult looking after them that we need wine – not to mention the more general message that we use wine as a coping mechanism Adrienne's interest in alcohol free drinks began when she met a sober coach who recommended that she try them. She was very sceptical and her expectations were low – she couldn't really see the point However when she started tasting the various choices she was blown away by the quality Together with her husband they started researching – and were both inspired. She feels that the US is just scratching the surface but there is a lot of innovation going on Adrienne and her husband concluded that there were some great choices available but that the AF space was difficult for the consumer to navigate – so they decided to become “curators. They would be retailers of alcohol free drinks but only of drinks that they had sampled and enjoyed They would be two experts providing advice and education around their products They launched the Dry Goods Beverage Company in Summer of 2021. Their best sellers are the alcohol free wines and she particularly recommended Copenhagen sparkling teas – perfect as an aperitif as its crisp and refreshing. Adrienne explained that these teas provide the depth and nuance that the AF wines sometimes lack She also reminded us that AF spirits should always be mixed rather than drunk neat.  That's why the cocktail recipes are so important.

Young Folk sets out to provide a warm and welcoming place for families to connect, unwind, laugh and enjoy each other. After spending more time at home and less on the road these past couple years, Lovelace was blessed with the opportunity be fully immersed in his family life, inspiring this collection. These new songs come from those real life moments where you slow down, take a look around and see the world through your child's eyes. Both tender and sometimes silly, it's a slice of life captured in memorable songs and relatable lyrics all delivered with his kind and gentle voice. Self-produced and recorded in his studio in Knoxville, Tennessee, Moonwalking provides a perfect playlist for family time.
