Listen to Under the Hood
In this week’s episode of Under the Hood, Marcus, Gustaf and Karl discuss which cars have won the Europe of the Year award over the years.
In addition, Marcus talks about his week with Lexus’ first all-electric model, the RZ. They also discuss which would have been the ultimate choice for a six-month stay in the US, and Gustaf explains the merits of having an everyday car with simple mechanics.
