Honda says it has “no chance” against China’s EV dominance, but is that really true? In this episode, we break down the future of EVs, Infiniti confirming a manual sedan, and early thoughts on the 2026 Toyota Camry Nightshade.

From the Mecum Auctions experience to bold claims from Honda, this episode of the CarQuicks Automotive Podcast covers the biggest shifts happening in the car industry right now. We dive into Chinese EV innovation, what legacy automakers are up against, and whether enthusiast cars like manual sedans still have a future.

Toyota dropped the GR GT, and we need to talk. Gazoo Racing has been on a roll, and their latest sports car is a Halo car or the Toyota brand and for Gazoo Racing.

With a brand-new twin-turbo hybrid V8, making 641HP (or more, official numbers are not out), 8-speed transmission, 199-MPH top speed, and it looks like nothing else... we are in a new era of sports cars, and Toyota is the leader.

-

Let's discuss the new Gazoo Racing GR GT and let me know what you think. How much will this cost, and what are you expecting from the next GR car, like the incoming Celica?
