What has all the feels? Volkswagen’s new ID. Buzz, which recently had its U.S. LWB iteration revealed. What are the specs and will the U.S. market eat it up? We have all the deets. We also have the deets on the equally newly revealed EX30, Volvo’s entry into the small EV crossover market — and a strong contender at a great price it is. The conversation then drifts to CharIN’s response to Ford’s NACS defection, Mr. Bean, and more!
