Saturday Surge - February 8, 2020

Each week, we run across many stories that we’d love to share, but often run out of time to do so. To make sure that you don’t miss out, we round some of them up here for your viewing/reading/listening pleasure on Saturdays.

Surging this week: MotorTrend takes us on a behind the scenes look at the new Amazon delivery vans being designed by EV startup Rivian. Green Car Reports says that for the first time, more electric vehicles were sold in 2019, than vehicles with a manual transmission. Car and Driver thinks Audi should have done more to emphasize that the car in their Super Bowl commercial was electric. Speaking of commercials, Mini has released the first commercial for the upcoming Mini Cooper S E, emphasizing that it’s just another Mini. And finally, has Volkswagen pushed back the reveal of the next member of the ID family from New York in April to Detroit this June? Enjoy!
