DoubleClutch.ca Podcast

Welcome to Episode 20!

This week, Nick has an admission to make: with the 2024 Mercedes-Benz S 580e PHEV in the garage, Adi wasn't entirely out to lunch about his infatuation with the S-Class.

Plus, there's another plug-in hybrid in the garage: it's impractical, loud, engaging, and British. If you guessed the 2024 McLaren Artura, you're correct!

Here's what we drove (and discussed) this week:

And when you're done, head over to doubleclutch.ca to check out our new look! We're pretty chuffed about it — still have a few kinks to work out, but it's our biggest makeover yet!

Welcome to Epsidode 19!

This week, Rush is in the Lexus RX 450h+ PHEV. He really, really wants to like it, but there's one big problem: Lexus simply offers too many versions of the RX, and for much less money.

Plus, Imran and Nick recount their EV-range-in-winter experiences with the Mercedes-Benz EQE AMG and Volvo XC40 Recharge, respectively. And finally, Nathan tells us about the base, rear-wheel-drive Hyundai Ioniq 5 he's in this week. It may very well be the mobile appliance to rule them all.

We're back! This week, the team catches up and talks about what they drove over the holidays, Nathan invents a new word, and we go over our Annual Awards winners for 2023 — including the DoubleClutch.ca Car of the Year!

Here's what we drove over the last couple of weeks:

Welcome to Episode 17! Heads up: we'll be off for the next two weeks. Catch y'all in 2024!

We spent the last couple of weeks driving boxes on wheels! Nathan speaks his thoughts on Kia's all-new EV9 and Volvo's sensibly juicy V90 Polestar, and Imran tells us all about the Land Rover Defender 130 Outbound.

Nick, on the other hand, didn't drive a box on wheels last week — but rather the best-kept secret in BMW's electric lineup, the i4. Also, don't tell anyone, but he admitted he actually likes the front end. He might need an eye test.

Welcome to Episode 16 of the DoubleClutch.ca Podcast!

There isn't much that makes sense about a $500,000 motorcar, but dare we say the Rolls-Royce Spectre being all-electric actually makes sense? Plus, Imran tells us about the couple of Mazdas he's had over the last couple of weeks, and Rush drops by with the raucous Jaguar F-Pace SVR.

Oh, and we've coined a new term for critiquing cars: Nick-picking.

This week, editor-in-chief Ben So joins Nick and Nathan to chat about the Toyota Grand Highlander. There can be only one Highlander, but Toyota begs to differ, offering no less than three powertrain options — including two hybrids.

Plus, we have the Honda Accord Hybrid and a couple of Bimmers in the garage this week, and with one month 'til we flip the calendars to 2024, Nick, Nathan, and Ben muse about their personal Car-of-the-Year picks.

Welcome to Episode 14!

Full house this week! Adi joins Nick, Nathan, and Imran in-studio to debate what exactly the Honda Ridgeline has going for it besides its admittedly very smooth powertrain. Plus, we have the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, VW Taos, and the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT in the garage this week.

But most importantly, Adi has some big news to share! He bought a car — but not just any car...

Welcome to lucky-episode-number-13 of the DoubleClutch.ca Podcast!

This week, Nick and Nathan remember a time when big Benzes were timeless. Plus, we have the Mercedes GLE 450e PHEV and redesigned GMC Canyon in the garage, and Nathan has an idea on how to fix the Ford Mustang Mach-E's biggest issue — the name.

Welcome to Episode 12 of the DoubleClutch.ca Podcast!

Nathan has fallen in love yet again. This time, it's with a big V8 sedan that won't be around for much longer. Why are his affairs so passionate yet so short-lived?

Plus, with the 2024 Chevy Trax RS in the garage this week, the crew ponders what happend to all the "cheap" cars you could've bought not too long ago. (Hint: they've all become more expensive crossovers — except for the Trax, which has somehow stayed under $30K fully loaded despite its glow-up for 2024.) As well, we have the 2024 Hyundai Kona in the garage, Imran is yearning for a Mazdaspeed CX-30, and BMW's X7 M60i proves techy and gimmicky three-row SUVs don't have to be boats.

Welcome to Episode 11!

This week, Jeff Wilson — freelance automotive journalist, photographer extraordinaire, and dear friend of DC — joins the team to catch up since Cobble Beach. They chat about physics-defying German SUVs, the Honda Accord Hybrid Jeff's got this week, and most importantly, Jeff's new toy!
