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.

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.
Highs and Lows and Minivans
As we kick off a new year with a weak largely devoid of news, our team opens up with the garage. Rebecca had the latest BMW 540i xDrive sedan while Sam waxes rhapsodic about the refreshed 2021 Chrysler Pacifica AWD and minivans in general as people haulers. Meanwhile Dan is wraps up an extended period… Read More »Highs and Lows and Minivans
Adios 2020
For the final episode of 2020, our intrepid crew reconvenes to discuss what’s in the garage and what’s happening the industry. Rebecca had a pair of Lexus LS500s to sample. First the 2020 F-Sport version and then the mildly refreshed 2021 edition. Sam got to spend a day with the redesigned 2021 Kia Sorento with… Read More »Adios 2020
