The Unnamed Automotive Podcast says hello to episode 400, which includes a minimal amount of reminiscing. Beyond that, Sami offers his take on the 2025 Acura RDX A Spec, which feels like it has the ability to compete, but misses on its execution, while Benjamin talks about the new six-cylinder option on the Ford Ranger.

What if EVs were not just average, but decently priced too? The Unnamed Automotive Podcast tackles this question with a pair of EV reviews, starting with the 2024 Fiat 500e, and then followed by the 2024 Acura ZDX A-Spec. Both seem nice, until you factor their price tags. Listen for more details!

You can't spell review without EV! This week the show reviews a pair of new electric vehicles, starting with Sami's take on the 2024 Acura ZDX. This is the brands first EV, but is made by GM, which causes a few concerns. Then Benjamin talk about the 2024 BMW i7 M70, which is the most powerful (and most expensive) EV from the brand. Loaded with tech, our host had an interesting hiccup during his test drive which is worth discussing. Thanks for listening!

We get our spin in the 2024 Acura Integra Type S, which takes the formula from the Civic Type R and matures it a bit. Benjamin has plenty to share about his experience with the car, and talks about its secret pedal dance. Then the guys talk to the master of engineering at Arc Motors, Tom Chep, to discuss electric restomods. Finally the hosts answer a listener question before saying goodbye for another week. Thanks for listening!

We're covering the all-new 2024 Mazda CX-90, which is designed to be a flagship, three-row crossover doing all kinds of unique (for Mazda) things. With a rear-wheel-drive platform and a turbo-inline-six, Benjamin has the final say about whether the Japanese automaker has nailed the formula or not. Then the podcast finishes up with a quick discussion on the newly announced Acura ZDX EV, and some listener comments about overly annoying automotive features. Thanks for listening!

There's no pfaffing about this week, (okay, maybe just a bit of pfaff) as the duo share their thoughts on two "high-performance" SUVs. First up, Sami tests the 2023 BMW iX M60 out in Germany, and tells us everything we need to know about its powertrain, range and speedy characteristics, before getting distracted talking about all of its gimmicky tech features. Then Benjamin jumps in with the 2022 Acura MDX Type S, and wonders if its worthy of its nostalgia badging. Finally Ben shares an update on his Datsun racecar pain and how he plans to get it back to the track.

Your (hopefully) favorite podcasting duo is back again this week talking all about (what else?) cars! First Benjamin describes his week in the subcompact 2022 Volkjswagen Taos, which is meant to fill a Golf-sized hole in the German automakers lineup. While it looks small, it actually seems to have a ton of space, and features pretty solid fuel economy, but how does it drive? Benjamin bares all (about the Taos, that is.)

Then the pair discuss all the latest automotive news, including sad-inducing info about the next generation Subaru WRX STI and Acura Integra, before Sami gets a taste of his own This-or-That medicine, Benjamin-style. Listen to it all right here, and don't forget to subscribe and contact us!

The 2021 Mazda CX-9 punches well above its weight, according to Benjamin, while Sami strives to pinpoint why the 2021 Toyota Highlander sells so well when much better rivals like the 2021 Kia Telluride are out there. The pair also discuss the book '1970 Maximum Muscle' which deals with the apex of the golden age of muscle cars.
