We know you're expecting the guys to talk about loaded, top trim cars, but this week they're flipping the script as Sami tests a relatively basic 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 and Benjamin goes out towing with a 2023 Ford F-250 XL. Hear what features work best in a basic model, and whether entry level vehicles are decent value these days or if you're better off buying a well equipped example of your desired new car.

This week, the guys take a closer look at two under-represented new cars on sale today. First up, Benjamin drives the 2023 Toyota Sequoia, which is built on the mediocre bones of the Tundra full-size pickup, and carries over some of the same puzzling design decisions. Does it have any chance at bumping up its annual sales numbers or even stealing the spotlight of its competitors? Then Sami talks about the 2023 Ford Escape PHEV, which is often overshadowed by Ford with its own Bronco Sport. While it boasts decent EV range and efficiency, Sami is eager to point out that the Escape has a few fatal flaws.

The guys also discuss some listener questions, so be sure to send us your question after listening to this week's episode!

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. Thanks for listening!

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast starts off with some tire smoke as this week's episode covers the 2024 Ford Mustang, which enters its seventh generation. Loaded with more tech and more power, this model seems like a mild refresh, but Sami says there's a bit more to talk about. Then Benjamin describes his time with the all-show, no go version of the 2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia Estrema Edizione. Looking like a beast but lacking the oomph, is this the best balance of the italian sport sedan? Listen to find out!

Our hosts are taking a spin in some updated and exciting new cars this week, starting with Benjamin and the 2023 Hyundai Palisade. Updated with a new look but little else, we talk about whether the Palisade is still a critical success and if its rivals are getting close to stealing its spotlight. Then Sami jumps into the 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, with its 480 hp and 634 lb-ft of torque to scream some about some performance cliches while wondering if the Mach-E is worth its lofty price tag.
