  <description>&lt;p&gt;Some high-tech luxury cars enter the Unnamed Automotive Podcast garage this week, as Sami finally shares his experience driving the totally redesigned 2024 BMW X2. Where the outgoing model was more of a hot hatch, this seems more like a sedan-ified crossover. And while that sounds kind of mundane, the sheer amount of weird technology help the X2 stand out in a way, or so Sami suggests.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then Benjamin gets his hands on the 2024 Mercedes-AMG EQE Sedan, which promises the world, but only delivers under certain scenarios. Be sure to listen to this segment with a checklist to see if you can remember all the things that have to go right before you can access the full power of this speedy EV. Thanks for listening! &lt;/p&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>This week on the Unnamed Automotive Podcast, you may stumble upon some real consumer advice. Consider yourself warned, as Benjamin reviews the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE 500 4Matic SUV, and comes away with many concerning thoughts about the German brand's electrification strategy. Then Sami compares the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek and the 2024 Hyundai Kona, helping listeners pick out their ideal subcompact crossover. Thanks for listening!</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;As Spotify Wrapped comes flying into your inboxes, the Unnamed Automotive Podcast can hold off no longer with this weeks episode. The "No Procastination Special" shows up with roughly 40 minutes of focused car-talk, all centering around two (or maybe three) vehicles. Hey, if you listen carefully you may find real consumer advice here...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First up Benjamin has plenty to say about the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE 500 4Matic SUV. Despite its wacky name, this all-electric SUV should be a highlight in the world of luxury EVs, but there are a few factors that stand in its way, including its price, performance and technology. It all has our hosts asking: "How much is that three-pointed star badge really worth?"   &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then Sami chimes in with his experience in the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Sport, and compares it to the recently reviewed 2024 Hyundai Kona. To make things extra-thorough, Benjamin discusses his time in the 2024 Crosstrek base model, and the two come to many of the same conclusions, which, given the long history of this podcast, is very rare. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for listening and be sure to drop us a note on our website or socials! And if you can, please donate to help fellow auto journalist Jason Torchinsky with the unexpected medical costs he and his family are now facing. Link below! &lt;/p&gt;
