Watch the First Episode of The Grand Tour for Free this Weekend

Although it’s a special time for many, Christmas is a fractious and difficult time for  many more. With the great divide at the heart of the nation, arguments at family dinners may seem inevitable. But that’s where you’re wrong.

Amazon has decided to save Christmas by giving away the first episode of The Grand Tour for free this weekend.

That’s right, why have a painful and ultimately fruitless argument about politics when you can purge yourself of that combative spirit by proxy with Clarkson, Hammond, and May?

All you need is a basic (read: free) Amazon account to access the first episode of Amazon’s most watched series.

Now, the first episode was the cause of some criticism on the internet, but all the better. If you absolutely must have an argument, you can instead argue about how good or bad you thought The Grand Tour was.

Unlike the deeper and more nebulous questions of global power, this argument has a natural and correct conclusion. No matter how divided your family is, you can all come together and agree that post-trio Top Gear was terrible.

So thanks Amazon, for saving Christmas.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
