  <itunes:subtitle>Benjamin and Sami debate the wildly confusing strategy from Toyota about having two vehicles in the same segment for roughly the same price: the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross and 2022 Toyota C-HR. Hear why they exist and if one is better than the other, before our two hosts turn their attention to other topics including the retirement of Honda Asimo and the new Stellantis Hurricane engine.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;This week on the Unnamed Automotive Podcast, witness something that's as rare as a double-rainbow: the double-Toyota subcompact crossover conversation. Sami and Benjamin discuss their experiences in Toyota's TWO small crossovers: the 2022 Corolla Cross and the C-HR. Is is a problem for Toyota and its customers? Which one of these two vehicles is better positioned for success? The pair also dive into the origin stories of the two cars and where they find the most love around the world. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Benjamin and Sami then celebrate the retirement of our longtime listener and fan, the Honda ASIMO, who will now go to a cushy robo retirement facility in Florida to live out the rest of its years. Additionally, our hosts dissect the new Hurricane engine from Stellantis, which signals that the era of awesome ICE propulsion isn't over yet. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Do like the posters on the wall say: Live, Laugh, Love, or in our case, Listen, Laugh, Like."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note&lt;/strong&gt;:_ A previous version of this episode went out a full day early with a few minutes of pre-podcast banter (disguised as CH-R/Corolla Cross research) somehow appended to the beginning. We apologize for the lack of professionalism on that premature launch, which can be blamed entirely on Benjamin, whose cognitive skills are rapidly deteroriating with age._ &lt;em&gt;Thanks so much to the listener who brought the problem to our attention!&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>Benjamin and Sami both drive SRT's latest SUV monster - the 2018 Dodge Durango SRT - and Sami compares it to the less intriguing 'performance' edition of a direct competitor, the 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe RST. Also in this episode: the 2018 GMC Sierra Denali, Benjamin's unusual Bill Goldberg encounter, and pouring out a glass of motor oil for the retirement of the Honda Asimo robot.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Do you need a 475 horsepower, track-ready SUV? Does anyone? The 2018 Dodge Durango SRT gets road-tested by both Benjamin and Sami this week, who are both in love with its exhaust note and appalled by its fuel economy. Sami also ponders the missed opportunity that is the 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe RST, the 'performance' edition of the Durango's direct competitor that leaves a lot on the table. The pair also provide final thoughts on the departing 2018 GMC Sierra Denali, what it's like to attend the Bob Bondurant driving school with Bill Goldberg, and why a robot like the Honda Asimo gets to retire at the age of 18. &lt;/p&gt;
