Everyday Driver Car Debate

The guys discuss the direction Mercedes-Benz is taking with their performance EVs, notably the recently announced 2027 AMG CLA45 4Matic+.

Goodwood Festival Of Speed is one of the most accessible and inspirational events for car enthusiasts, and allows people to easily see the cars up close and driving quickly up the hill.

For Topic Tuesday, the guys discuss a mental cul-de-sac for Tim in TN, who is unhappy because he’s rational about cars.

Car Debate #1 is for Dave in Seattle, who loves manuals, wagons, and lightweight cars. Can the guys replace half his garage?

Car Debate #2 is for Rick in DC, who also loves manual transmissions but needs a good commuter.

Car Conclusion #1 is from Elias in CA, who decided to buy a car for what he actually wanted.

Car Conclusion #2 is from Aaron in CO, who is excited by moment-in-time cars, and bought possibly the last of an era.

Audio-only MP3 is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and 10 other platforms.

Look for us on Tuesdays if you’d like to watch us debate, disagree and then go drive again!

The guys podcast while still on their 2026 European Adventure, and discuss debates from Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland! The first debate is for Levi in WA, who owns an Audi performance shop and is looking ahead to starting a family. Then, James in Denver already has a great garage and is considering adding a fourth car - what should he get with a high budget? The car conclusion is from Preston, who finds driving satisfaction at a low budget.
