  • Episode 51: Whoa! A blue car!

    Welcome to Episode 51!

    This week, Nick talks about a Mercedes with a mouthful of a name: the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E-Performance 4-Door Coupe. It didn't meet his expectations of a modern Mercedes-Benz—and that's kind of a good thing.
    Plus, Nathan recounts his weekend with the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray, and comes away pleasantly surprised by the refreshingly simple 2024 Nissan Frontier Hardbody Edition.
    Oh, and Rush is back in the studio. He hasn't driven anything cool lately, but he stuck around to mess with Nathan and Nick.

  • Episode 50: Fun Dumb

    Welcome to Episode 50!

    This week, Nick and Nathan recount their time with the 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz and the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUT—two new, fully electric vehicles that don't make much sense objectively, but are, subjectively, very cool.
    Plus, Nick shares his thoughts on the 2025 Kia K4, and Nathan returns from Quebec, where he spent a few days behind the wheel of the 2025 Nissan Kicks.

  • Episode 49: Forester for the Trees

    Welcome to Episode 49!

    This week, Nick and Nathan are coming at you from their mobile recording studio—the 2025 Subaru Forester—mostly because they couldn't find a quiet spot in the office. Nevertheless, it's quite the complement: Subaru has made big strides over the years with overall refinement, and that's very evident in this latest, sixth-gen Forester.
    Plus, Nathan is in the 2025 BMW M4 CS. Second laps in press cars don't always end well, but to our surprise, the two-door variant of the M3 CS—with which Nathan fell in love last year—is still as hardcore and engaging as we remember.
    And finally, Nick just returned from Nashville, where he checked out the redesigned 2025 Nissan Murano—and got a short stint behind the wheel of the Nissan Z Nismo.

  • Episode 48: Expectations vs. reality

    Welcome to Episode 47!

    After Jeff talked up the 2024 Mercedes-AMG S 63 E Performance plug-in hybrid so much last week, we finally get some seat time—and came away feeling not over- or underwhelmed, but simply whelmed.
    Plus, Nathan returns from San Diego where he sampled the 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid, gushes about Nick's recent press cars—last week's 2024 Ford Ranger Lariat and this week's 2024 Dodge Durango SRT—and shares his thoughts on the 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro. Oh, and Rush decided to stick around and hang out.

  • Episode 47: Bikes (and some cars) with Jeff Wilson

    Welcome to Episode 47!

    This week, automotive journalist—and dear friend of ours—Jeff Wilson stopped by the studio and joined Nathan, Nick, and Rush. We chat about the BMW i7 M70, revisit the Nissan Z, say goodbye to the Jaguar F-Pace SVR, and Jeff grills Nathan about his experiences as a not-so-novice rider.

  • Episode 46: But it's handsome!

    Hear, hear! Episode 46 is here!

    This week, Nick recaps his time with the 2025 Infiniti QX80, Imran is in the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus, and Nathan tries to like the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. (Note: we mistakenly stated you can no longer get the Hemi V8 on the Grand Cherokee L; turns out, you still can on the Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve trims.)
    Plus, Imran is still smitten with the 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT coupe—but isn't quite sure it's the 911 alternative Mercedes wants you to think it is.

  • Episode 45: Ramblings of a madman

    Welcome to Episode 45!

    It's a slightly different format this week: Nick's out on the west coast for an Infiniti launch, so Nathan and Rush have taken the reigns on the podcast this week.

    But they have lots to talk about! They bid farewell to the Lamborghini Huracan, Nathan gets reacquainted with a gem of a Mazda RX-7, and the two are blown away by the top-spec Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate Calligraphy.

    Oh, and Nathan got his motorcycle licence earlier this year—so naturally, he started reviewing bikes! He shares his thoughts on a couple of Hondas and a BMW he sampled as a new rider.

  • Episode 44: The Nathan Show

    We're back! Welcome to Episode 44!

    This week, Nathan returns from his travels to LA, bringing us up to speed on Volvo's all-new, all-electric 2025 EX90. Plus, he spent a few extra days there behind the wheel of the refreshed 2025 Aston Martin DBX 707, and had his mind positively blown at the Petersen Automotive Museum in downtown LA.

    While Nathan was out, Nick was off in Ann Arbor checking out the 2025 VW Jetta, which sees a handful of tweaks and updates — some good, others not so much — while remaining a ridiculously great value proposition.

    And finally, we cap off the episode sharing our thoughts on the 2025 BMW M4 Competition cabrio, as well as Aston's delicious DB12 Volante.

  • Episode 43: Why are pickups so expensive?!

    Welcome to Episode 43!

    This week, Adi ponders why a base-ish F-150 costs so much, Nick is pleasantly surprised by the WRX GT, and Nathan recounts his (partial) cross-Canada road trip with Toyota.

    Plus, Nathan finally gets his rant from last week off his chest: the Toyota GR86 is a certifiably good sports car, but it just can't match the ND Miata's magic.

  • Episode 42: Nuthin' but an Oblivion Thang

    Good news, everyone! Episode 42 is here!

    We're kicking off this week's episode recounting our highlights from the Oblivion Car & Culture show last weekend. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out: this show celebrates not just the cars, but all things 80s and 90s. It's the only place you'll probably see a Ferrari Testarossa sandwiched between a Nissan Stanza and a Dustbuster.

    Oh, and we obviously brought a bunch of our own — and our friends' — cool toys from the 80s and 90s.

    Plus, Nick is in the short-wheelbase 2024 Range Rover SV this week. It's a positively sumptuous behemoth carrying a $300,000 price tag, but is it really worth it? Nathan and Imran — who recently spent some time with a long-wheelbase Range Rover Autobiography and a Range Rover Sport PHEV, respectively — chime in.
