Roman drove the Geely E2, the world’s most popular Chinese car, then the E5 and the Zeekr 7 GT, and was impressed by the build quality, the tech, and the price. Plus, he gets into the ultra-luxurious Zeekr 9X and its 900 horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain, how the Chinese are bringing back the station wagon, and what it all means for Detroit. Also, the Citroën 2CV revival, the BAIC 212 off-roaders, a new Alfa Romeo concept, a Fiat Multipla concept, and the VW California camper we wish we could buy here.
