More Questions, Answers and Names
We tackle a backlog of listener questions along with our usual garage segment. Rebecca and Sam got an early drive in the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV, Rebecca also had the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade, so we compared.
Nilay Patel On Mustangs, Raptors, Apple Cars and Touchscreens
This week Rebecca is off dealing with house stuff so Dan and Sam are handling the garage. Dan got to drive a brand new old truck, the 2021 Toyota Tundra SR5.

Who Will Win The Electric Truck Battle?
This week, the Volkswagen Passat leaves Rebecca a little bored, while the Ford F-150 King Ranch Hybrid powered smiles from Sam, and Dan made an Ikea run with the ideal vehicle: the 2021 Honda Odyssey Elite. We talk about interest in electrified pickups, Jaguar and Ford commiting to EVs in Europe, and the mailbag updates us on listener Mach-E buying experiences and we got some feedback about our bad attitudes, too. Speaking of bad attitudes, Rebecca is trying to buy a car and getting the run-around, instead.
Bonus Episode: Isettas, Car Writing, and Guitars with Peter Egan
An auction post on CarTwitter started this. Someone was selling an Isetta. And it made Dan think about how that little car has a meaning we only half-understand. It’s a deeper symbolism he learned by reading a Peter Egan feature in Road & Track. So we called him up to talk…

Electric Vehicles for Teenagers
This week on the show you’ll be shocked to learn that we have more utility vehicles in the garage. Sam kicks off the discussion with the 2021 Kia Telluride SX. While it shares its architecture with the Hyundai Pallisade, it looks and feels distinctly different and will appeal to a different customer. Meanwhile in Connecticut,… Read More »Electric Vehicles for Teenagers

What’s in your garage?
This week, we recorded a live episode on Zoom with some listeners. Sam shares his take on the 2021 Kia K5 EX while Rebecca rhaspodizes about its corporate sibling, the Hyundai Sonata N-Line. Both are powered by turbocharged 4-cylinders but one has way more power. Dan had 2021 GMC Canyon AT4 and the review devolves… Read More »What’s in your garage?
What Is A BrightDrop?
Dan has another Ford SuperDuty pickup, this time the F-250 with the big 6.7-liter diesel and he is plotting how to pull out some concrete footings from his old deck. Rebecca goes old school (really old) with the aged Toyota Sequioa while Sam complains about the terrible infotainment display in the 2021 Nissan Rogue but… Read More »What Is A BrightDrop?
Do Logos Even Matter?
This week we’re driving the 2021 GM Yukon Denali, Subaru Crosstrek Limited, and a pair of Kia K5 GT-Line sedans. We talk about GM’s new logo, the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, and the Mercedes-Benz Hyperscreen for the EQS. There’s an interview with Ryan Matulich from Ford about the 7.3L “Godzilla” V8, and we wrap with a listener question about EV marketing.
