Just in time for a break from the holiday festivities, we’ve got lots of automotive conversation. Robbie and Nicole have both been driving Mercedes-Benz electric SUVs, the EQS SUV and EQB respectively. Meanwhile, Sam has his favorite compact crossover, the Mazda CX-5 Carbon Edition.

Sam discusses the new 2021 Genesis G80 while Rebecca shares her thoughts on the Mazda CX-9.
