Hear, hear! Episode 46 is here!
This week, Nick recaps his time with the 2025 Infiniti QX80, Imran is in the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus, and Nathan tries to like the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. (Note: we mistakenly stated you can no longer get the Hemi V8 on the Grand Cherokee L; turns out, you still can on the Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve trims.)
Plus, Imran is still smitten with the 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT coupe—but isn't quite sure it's the 911 alternative Mercedes wants you to think it is.

Welcome to Episode 45!
It's a slightly different format this week: Nick's out on the west coast for an Infiniti launch, so Nathan and Rush have taken the reigns on the podcast this week.
But they have lots to talk about! They bid farewell to the Lamborghini Huracan, Nathan gets reacquainted with a gem of a Mazda RX-7, and the two are blown away by the top-spec Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate Calligraphy.
Oh, and Nathan got his motorcycle licence earlier this year—so naturally, he started reviewing bikes! He shares his thoughts on a couple of Hondas and a BMW he sampled as a new rider.

We're back! Welcome to Episode 44!
This week, Nathan returns from his travels to LA, bringing us up to speed on Volvo's all-new, all-electric 2025 EX90. Plus, he spent a few extra days there behind the wheel of the refreshed 2025 Aston Martin DBX 707, and had his mind positively blown at the Petersen Automotive Museum in downtown LA.
While Nathan was out, Nick was off in Ann Arbor checking out the 2025 VW Jetta, which sees a handful of tweaks and updates — some good, others not so much — while remaining a ridiculously great value proposition.
And finally, we cap off the episode sharing our thoughts on the 2025 BMW M4 Competition cabrio, as well as Aston's delicious DB12 Volante.

Welcome to Episode 43!
This week, Adi ponders why a base-ish F-150 costs so much, Nick is pleasantly surprised by the WRX GT, and Nathan recounts his (partial) cross-Canada road trip with Toyota.
Plus, Nathan finally gets his rant from last week off his chest: the Toyota GR86 is a certifiably good sports car, but it just can't match the ND Miata's magic.

Good news, everyone! Episode 42 is here!
We're kicking off this week's episode recounting our highlights from the Oblivion Car & Culture show last weekend. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out: this show celebrates not just the cars, but all things 80s and 90s. It's the only place you'll probably see a Ferrari Testarossa sandwiched between a Nissan Stanza and a Dustbuster.
Oh, and we obviously brought a bunch of our own — and our friends' — cool toys from the 80s and 90s.
Plus, Nick is in the short-wheelbase 2024 Range Rover SV this week. It's a positively sumptuous behemoth carrying a $300,000 price tag, but is it really worth it? Nathan and Imran — who recently spent some time with a long-wheelbase Range Rover Autobiography and a Range Rover Sport PHEV, respectively — chime in.

Welcome to Episode 42!
This week, Imran shares his thoughts on two hybrids he drove recently: the 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T PHEV, and the 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid. One is far too expensive for its own good, and the other is arguably the sweet spot of the lineup. Care to guess which is which?
Plus, Rush is soaking up the sun this week with the 2024 Jaguar F-Type P575 convertible. Cats really do have nine lives, because Jaguar keeps saying this'll be the "last" F-Type on the local press fleet, but we ain't complaining. A loud V8 and a roof that disappears at the touch of a button is always a recipe for a good time.
As for Nathan ... oh yeah, he couldn't make it this week. So, Adi popped in to try and make sense of Nick's recent obsession with Lexus IS Fs. Is jumping from an E39 M5 to an IS F as a daily driver a downgrade?

Full house this week — and it's a spicy one!
Adi joins the crew this week to have a reasonable and level-headed discussion about the 2024 BMW Z4 M40i — which as we all know, gets an optional six-speed manual this year. Except it's less a level-headed discussion, and more of a heated debate: Nick and Nathan are smitten with this car, but Adi and Imran are fully Team Boxster. That's OK, they're allowed to be wrong.
Not to be overshadowed by the stickshift Bimmer, we also have the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N this week. Colour us shocked: the Ioniq 5 N goes against everything a "car person", yet it's quite possibly the most hilarious and entertaining car we've driven this year.

Welcome to Episode 39!
This week, Imran's back and tells us all about the 2024 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio and the 2024 Toyota GR Corolla.
Plus, Nathan goes bananas over the 2024 Ford Mustang GT with the Performance Package, and Nick — well, his press car was cancelled this week, so he's just...here.

Welcome to Episode 38!
This week, Paolo stops by with the Equinox EV, Nathan reviews the Maverick, and Nick and Nathan take the Mazda CX-70 and BMW M440i for a spin.

Welcome to Episode 37!
This week, Nathan reviews the 2025 Subaru WRX RS — or TR, if you're tuning in from the good ol' US of A. Depending on what you want out of a sporty small car, this may very well be the best bang for your buck.
Plus, Nick recaps how his week is going so far with the 2024 Vinfast VF8. After a rocky launch — and that's putting it mildly — VinFast has done a good job righting many of the wrongs in the early cars. But some software bits still need some time in the oven.
And finally, Imran's back in the studio! Fresh off driving the refreshed 2024 Range Rover Velar, he has proclaimed himself DoubleClutch.ca's resident Premium Dude.

Welcome to Episode 36!
This week, Nick and Nathan are spending some quality time with a couple of dinosaurs: the 4Runner TRD Pro, and the Ranger Raptor.
Plus, these two Miata apologists nerd out over the tweaks to the 2024 Miata — known as the ND3 in Miata-speak. What better way to see if all these seemingly piecemeal changes make a meaningful difference than going for a back-to-back rip with Nathan's '23 ND?
Here's what we discussed this week:
2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro
2024 Ford Ranger Raptor
2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata

Welcome to Episode 35!
This week, we're kicking things off by welcoming our newest contributor to the team! Everyone, meet Paolo Manalo: he's always well-dressed, he owns the mintiest E39 530i M-Sport, and this week, he shares his thoughts on the freshly redesigned Santa Fe Hybrid.
Plus, we're revisting two familiar cars this week: the still-shockingly-good Prius Prime, and the still-delicous IS 500. Except this time, we can't help but wonder if we were looking back at the IS 500 with rose-tinted glasses. Indeed a conundrum.
Here's what we discussed this week:
Paolo's own toy, a manual-swapped 2003 BMW 530i M-Sport
The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid
The 2024 Toyota Prius Prime
The 2024 Lexus IS 500

It's a full house this week for Episode 34!
The team recently spent some quality time with three new EVs underpinned by GM's new Ultium platform: the Chevy Blazer EV, Cadillac Lyriq, and Honda Prologue. How do you make the same car feel different? It's all in the execution here—despite the identical underpinnings, each one feels appreciably different than the other. Much to our surprise.
Oh, and we have the 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport in the garage, too. It's stick!

It's Episode 33!
This week, Nathan and Rush talk twinning trucks—the Chevy Colorado ZR2 and GMC Canyon AT4X, to be exact. Plus, Nathan shares his thoughts on the Chevy Blazer EV, and Nick comes away impressed with the Jetta GLI's value proposition — even though he drove his Miata into the office that day.
Here's what we discussed:
2023 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2
2023 GMC Canyon AT4X
2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS
2024 Polestar 2
2024 Volkswagen GTI 40th Anniversary Edition

Welcome to Episode 32!
It's the Lost Episode this week; thanks to some technical difficulties, this one didn't see the light of day, but that changes today!
From the 2025 Urus PHEV to the swan song for the stick GTI, plus a big Range Rover and a couple of sporty Subies thrown in for measure, Nick and Nathan have lots to chat about in this one. Enjoy!
Here's what we talked about in this episode:
2025 Lamborghini Urus SE
2024 Range Rover Sport
2024 Subaru WRX RS
2024 Subaru BRZ tS
2024 Volkswagen GTI 380

Welcome to Episode 30!
This week, Toyota tossed us the keys to the new Land Cruiser for a day. Nathan jumped the highest and caught them, so he tells us all about Toyota's iconic and thoroughly redesigned off-roader.
Plus, Nick and Imran remenisce about the G35 Coupe with rose-tinted glasses — while Nathan, uhh, disagrees with their assessments — and the crew agrees that a base CX-50 is all the compact crossover most people will ever need.
Here's what we talked about this week:
2024 Toyota Land Cruiser
2024 Toyota Highlander XLE AWD Nightshade
2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe (owned by a good friend of ours)
2024 Mazda CX-50 GS-P

Hear ye! Hear ye! It's Episode 29!
This week, Nathan tells us about the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter he drove a few weeks ago — he calls it a '25 on the podcast, but it's actually a '24 — aimed squarely at the Colorado ZR2, Canyon AT4, and Ranger Raptor. Is its hardcore off-road hardware and hybrid powertrain enough to make it stand out? It sure looks the part.
Plus, Imran has a confession to make: he has a crush on his press car this week, the new-for-2024 Crosstrek Wilderness. In fact, of all the subcompact-ish crossovers out there, that's the one he'd park in his driveway — much to Nathan's bemusement, who's still coming off his HR-V high.
And finally, Nick's in the X1 M35i, the hot hatch-ish variant of BMW's ubiquitous X1. He wants to like it, but there are a couple of things holding him back. BMW, if you're reading — or listening — make the "Sport" programming for the transmission standard.
Here's what we discussed this week:
2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter
2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness
2024 BMW X1 M35i

Welcome to Episode 26!
Imran took a few weeks off for Ramadan, but he's back in studio this week, recapping what he's been driving — from the honkin' Yukon Denali Ultimate to the Mini JCW "1 to 6 Edition" that could probably fit in its trunk. Plus, Nathan spent a day with the just-redesigned, ninth-gen Camry—a.k.a. the "Default Car"—and Nick has the Civic Si this week.
Oh, this is probably worth mentioning: the crew also played with a Huracan Sterrato for a couple of days this week. NBD.
Here's what we talked about this week:
2025 Toyota Camry
2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6
2024 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate
2024 Mini John Cooper Works 3-Door 1 to 6 Edition
2024 Honda Civic Si
2024 Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato

Welcome to Episode 27!
A few months ago, Nick spent some quality time with the Cayenne Coupe and wanted to like it, the base turbo V6 wasn't a good match. This week, behind the wheel of the 2024 Porsche Cayenne S, he confirms his suspicious — that the Cayenne is best enjoyed with at least eight cylinders.
Meanwhile, Nathan finds himself unexpectedly smitten with his press car. This isn't exactly unusual; Nathan's fallen for cars like the IS 500, the Z4, and the Chrysler 300C. But this time, it's the 2024 Honda HR-V making Nathan go bananas.
Plus, Rush joins in-studio to offer his thoughts on the Cayenne S and HR-V, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner that just debuted, and to generally berate Nick and Nathan.

Episode 26 is here!
This week, just Nick and Nathan are in the studio. Nick just returned from a vacation in Florida, where he spent a few days with the Mustang Dark Horse. It sure does live up to the hype — with the exception of one crucial driver/machine interface.
Meanwhile, Nathan recaps the Ford Expedition and Nissan Pathfinder that passed by the office while Nick was out, the two quickly go over the fresh sheet metal from the New York Auto Show, and the not-long-for-this-world Toyota Venza prompts Nathan to ponder what other press cars he's driven deserve a second chance.
Here's what we discussed this week:
2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse
2024 Ford Expedition
2024 Nissan Pathfinder
2024 Toyota Venza
New York International Auto Show debuts, including the next-generation Infiniti QX80, Nissan Kicks, and Kia K4, plus the refreshed 2025 Hyundai Tucson and Santa Cruz
