These Iconic Cars Actually Suck! | Ep. 30


Listen Later

( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! The crew hits the recording studio for a loose, off-the-rails debate on the iconic cars and automotive trends that simply haven't aged well. The conversation kicks off with a hilarious look back at the original Fast and Furious movie, dividing the table over its incredibly cheesy one-liner dialogue versus its pure, nostalgic street-racing action. From there, the team tackles modern design controversies, heavily criticizing the brand-new BMW X5 and its polarizing Neue Klasse design language. Between the odd geometric steering wheel, the illuminated "bunny-tooth" kidney grill, and the complete lack of physical buttons for basic climate controls, the guys and Jen question whether German luxury brands are turning simple tasks into overcomplicated nightmares.

The trip down memory lane gets even wilder as they swap stories about legendary but fundamentally flawed vehicles. The team breaks down the absolute fragility of driving a real-world DeLorean—revealing the hilarious logistical struggle it actually took to hit 88 mph on a local runway—before diving into the bizarre engineering of the multi-million-dollar Chrysler Turbine car. They wrap up the episode with a live Patreon Q&A, reminiscing about whimsical oddities like the brick-shaped Volkswagen Thing, the rise and fall of the enthusiast-spec Volkswagen Passat, the iconic Kia Soul hamster commercials, and whether a modern sports car like the C8 Corvette loses its soul without a traditional manual transmission option.
