Everyday Driver Car Debate

The guys take on three debates for this episode! First, Rob in WY is trying to get his arms around all his cars - what to sell and how to do it? Joel in MN is in nearly the same predicament, and wants something different. Then, Jonathan in Texas wants a cheap manual car to teach his daughter the art of stick shift, but also use it to commute. Audience questions on social media ask who is the third buyer for massively depreciated EVs, can you import forbidden fruit car parts from Europe, and which is better to drive - the Mazda CX-5 or CX-50?

The Corvette GrandSport designation has returned, now applied to the C8 generation! The guys discuss the new 6.7L V8 engine, plus news from around the industry. They debate fun yet responsible cars for Chris in Maryland, who is fighting the mid-life practicality vs. desire. Then, Drew is shopping for his wife (who doesn’t drive much), and is intrigued by all these EVs coming off lease. Should he investigate further? Social media questions ask if we’ve gone backwards with base-level small engines, what kind of car should Subaru build next, and if convertibles increase a driver’s connection with the road, why don’t the guys like them very much?
