Then Benjamin has a quick review of the 2026 BMW M340 xDrive 50 Jahre Edition, a special edition of the podcast favorite 3 Series. With fancy equipment and a great powertrain, Benjamin has mostly positive things to say about the new 3, except for its choice of winter rubber.

Finally, the guys discuss some wild news from Stellantis regarding its PHEV vehicles, which gets them thinking about invisible vehicles (or the ones that have wandered off to "the island of misfit cars") Thanks for listening!

Then Benjamin talks about the 2023 Honda Passport Elite, and how it fits in the grand scheme of things as a mid-sized off-roader, especially compared to the rugged looking Trailsport model. Should buyers just get an Elite and kit it out? What's out there for Honda enthusiasts looking to get off road? Benjamin shares all, and also asks whats going on with the Passports future.

Then the guys share some recent listener feedback before signing off. Thanks for listening!

• 10 Best Movie Trucks and Pickups To Come Out Of Hollywood — Car chases might get all the glory, but trucks have enjoyed their share of screen time in Hollywood, too. In fact, there are a number of movies where pickups and SUVs have played a key role in either advancing the plot, saving the day, or just injecting some much-needed adrenaline into a movie's sagging second act.

We also talk about how poorly-executed the Fiat 124 Spider Abarth is - aka the Italian Miata - and have a deep philosophical discussion about whether a car that's so amazingly competent in every situation, like the Porsche 911, could ever truly win a driver's heart, or whether the most memorable sports cars - like earlier generations of said 911 - need to be at least a little bit weird/scary/rough around the edges.

Then it's back to Challenger town as Benjamin drives the Challenger T/A and realizes that it might really only be subtly different from the Scat Pack - and that's probably by design. Sami rounds things out with a love letter to the Mercedes-Benz C300 cabriolet, a car he would probably marry if he weren't already engaged to danger.

• First Drive of the 2018 Lexus LS at AutoGuide.com — Launched in 1989, it was the brand’s first vehicle and it showed the world that the Japanese automaker had what it took to pamper serious luxury car buyers. It’s been almost 30 years since, and it feels like the Lexus LS has lost that go-get-em attitude. Fortunately for 2018, there’s a whole new generation that will bring some mojo back to Lexus’ big sedan.

• 2017 Audi R8 Spyder review for SlashGear — Asphalt-scraping, bone-jarring suspension setups, blind spots the size of a refrigerator, and the constant danger of reckless drivers zooming from two lanes over to snap a photo while hanging inches off the bumper are hazards anyone who elects to daily drive their six-figure sports car regularly face.
