9/30/2025
The guys continue the second half (N-Z) of their discussion about cars they think OEMs should bring back to the market. They debate fun commuters for Ian, who lives in Perth, Australia and has wildly varied distance needs. Then, Andrew Z. has a young family and needs kid-hauling space, but yearns for a Miata (which is on the horizon). The guys dive into social media questions, which include asking about rear diffusers on non-sporty models; and why doesn’t Ford build a 4dr Mustang branded as a Lincoln?

9/23/2025
What cars should OEMs bring back to market? Is there a business case to be made? The guys explore one car from each manufacturer (A-M). They debate a fourth car for Sal in MN, who wants a sports car he doesn’t have to think about. Then, EJ and his family in CA are feeling the neighborhood peer pressure to buy a minivan, but they’d rather have something else with 3 rows. Social media questions ask if there were any cars on the ToTD trip in hindsight the guys wish they could have driven or done a film on, which cars have the best interiors for sitting in traffic, and what cars are the best versions of unrelated cars?

Enthusiasts Have Ruined Cars, What Do Driving Coaches Drive, The Goldilocks Car | Episode 1,012

9/16/2025
Are we enthusiasts too blinded by excellent older sports cars, and therefore unable to celebrate even the ‘middle-ground’ kinds of new cars? The guys acknowledge that fun is personal, and they unpack this topic that stems from negative internet reaction to the new Prelude. The first debate is for Konstantin M., who lives in LA and works as a driving coach for Porsche. Then, Alex D wants a ‘Goldilocks’ car to scratch the driving itch. What options is he missing? Social media questions ask why LED light bars have become a signature EV style, and what cars left the most impact on the guys’ early driving experiences?
