DoubleClutch.ca Podcast

Episode 10 is here!

This week, Nick is joined in-studio by Adi and Rush, and Rush has a confession to make: after putting a ton of work into his G50-era 911 Targa, he likes the car, but doesn't love it. Is chasing perfection in classic cars really worth it?

Plus, we talk about the 2023 Volkswagen ID.4, the 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty, and Adi can't stop borrowing his dad's new car, a 2022 Mercedes-Benz S 580.

This week, the team has the 2024 Mercedes-AMG C 43 in the garage, and that begs the question: between the Benz, BMW M340i, and Lexus IS 500, who makes the sport sedan to rule them all?

Plus, Imran comes to terms with getting old after driving the Lincoln Corsair, Nathan is smitten with the physics-defying BMW X5 M Competition, and Nick is spending a week with the Mercedes-Benz EQE 500, a (very expensive) fridge on wheels.

Winter is coming — and that means it's crossover season! This week, Nick, Nathan, and Imran can't seem to get their jaws off the floor after sampling the Buick Envision Avenir. That's right — a Buick. Yes, really. The Envision may very well be the best value for a reasonably upscale, roomy-enough crossover for $50K.

Plus, the team takes a trip down memory lane to reminisce about the racing games they grew up with. Need For Speed fam, rise up!

Episode 7 is here!

The last time Imran drove a Ferrari, he was a twentysomething kid and far too nervous to actually enjoy it. This week, he gets a do-over — behind the wheel of a 488 GTB — and tells us all about it.

Plus, Nick and Nathan talk about their recent NPC-mobiles, BMW's absolutely massive 760i xDrive, and ponder what, exactly, is so special about the Toyota 4Runner.

Welcome to Episode 6! This week, the crew has a pretty sweet lineup of sheetmetal in the garage.

Rush is in the base, six-speed-manual Mini Cooper, which surprised us all by capturing the spirit of the original Mini quite well. Plus, we finally see what the fuss is all about with the six-speed manual Toyota Supra — spoiler alert, it's great — and meet their heroes thanks to something special from Mazda Canada's Heritage Fleet.

And last but not least, because goodbyes aren't easy, the team bids farewell to the Jaguar F-Type. Goodnight, sweet prince.

Jeff Wilson is a talented automotive writer and photographer. He's also a very close friend of DoubleClutch — and for this episode, recorded on the eve of this year's Cobble Beach Concours d'Elegance, he joins us in our makeshift, remote studio.

We fawn over the vintage eye candy we saw before the show, rip Adi a new one for fielding his very-nice-but-driver-spec Ferrari 550 Maranello in a show that demands perfection, and Jeff determines the footrest in the back of the $300,000 Range Rover SVAutobiography was more of a toe rest for him.

Welcome to Episode 4 of the DoubleClutch.ca Podcast!

This week, the team finds themselves with the keys to two Porsches — a 911 and a Taycan, both GTSes. The Taycan made a wonderful impression, but is the 911 GTS too good for its own good?

Plus, Imran's finally come around to the latest Subaru WRX's body cladding, Nathan is absolutely infuriated by the Mercedes-AMG EQS, and the new Nissan Z makes Nick feel nostalgic about his old Infiniti G35.

The crew is joined in-studio by Adi Desai, their mighty overlord and DoubleClutch founder, to mourn the loss of the VW GTI's stickshift, ponder why the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing is good but not great, and to berate Nick on his (automotive) life choices. Sigh.

On this week's episode, the team says goodbye to the Dodge Charger and Challenger, ponders why Nathan keeps breaking cars, and Imran shares some big news — he bought a car!

After a not-so-brief hiatus, the DoubleClutch.ca crew is back at it again in studio!

This week, your hosts Nick, Nathan, and Imran are joined by Rush, fellow DC staff writer. We ponder who the BMW M8 Competition is for, why Fords smell like dog food, ponder the death of truly affordable cars, and nerd out about all the neat stuff we saw at this year's Oblivion '80s and '90s Car Show!
