Meet “Red”

After a full day at the dealer, doing the annoying back + forth dance, we got a red VW Jetta to add to the family!

Gone are the days of a gas-guzzling crossover, the Jetta has much better fuel economy – and honestly, there’s more space in the trunk than that big ol’ Mazda!

We’re naming her “Red”, and she totally looks like she belongs to me! We’re also a dual-Volkswagen family now!

Ed on the Audi e-tron promo!

As if an electric Audi A3 wasn’t cool enough, they bring Ed in on this video to talk about their e-tron program. It’s a great clip, but Ed comes in at about 1:35, if you wanna see the good stuff!

A few months back, around the time of the LA Auto Show, Audi asked Ed and a few other journalists and analysts to look at their Audi A3 e-tron electric car prototype. They were going to make a short movie out of it, but he had no idea he’d be the only one featured! Audi is unveiling their e-tron program at the TED conference today, and they’re showing this featurette! Exciting stuff for us. Ed RULES!
