Benjamin dives into driving the 2023 BMW M2, which has gone through a full redesign coming out bigger and more powerful than ever before. Then Sami chimes in with a test of the rugged, yet approachable 2023 Ford Maverick Tremor, which he finds good enough, but maybe not as "off-road" as other Tremor-branded models out there.

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.
