  <itunes:subtitle>It's the first episode of 2024 and the guys have a pair of three-row luxury crossovers to review. Benjamin starts us off with the 2024 BMW X7 M60i. A twin-turbo V8 can solve a lot of problems, but Benjamin has a long list of small oddities with this big German brute. Then Sami talks about the 2024 Infiniti QX60, which shares a whole lot with the Nissan Pathfinder, making him worry that this luxury vehicle isn't worth the money. Thanks for listening! </itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to the New Year with the Unnamed Automotive Podcast! As we enter 2024, the guys have plenty to talk about starting with a paid of luxury three-row crossovers. Benjamin starts things off with his test drive of the 2024 BMW X7 M60i, which is loaded with a twin-turbo V8 and three-rows of luxurious seating. Who could've guessed this thing could do 0-60 in under 4 seconds? Beyond that little tidbit, Benjamin had plenty of frustrations about the Bimmer, but does that detract from the overall experience? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then Sami chimes in about his time with the 2024 Infiniti QX60, another high-end three-row crossover. However, Sami has some concerns with the Infiniti which shares a lot with the Nissan Pathfinder, including its powertrain, platform and many of its features. Is the Infiniti badge worth $20K? What's with the one-way power folding third row? And the old-school infotainment screen? Is this really the best the Japanese automaker can do? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After hearing Sami's gripes, be sure to send the guys some love on Ko-Fi, or drop them a message on Unnamed Automotive Podcast website or social accounts. Thanks for listening! &lt;/p&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>Benjamin talks about the new 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve. At what price point does the Grand Cherokee become a Venti Cherokee, or Mega Cherokee? Sami follows that up with a review of the 2022 Volvo C40 EV. The pair then talk about weird, wild and confusing trim names before discussing some quick news.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Benjamin talks about the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee and comes away thinking this may be a real competitor against the likes of German luxury. Hear him brag about the number of screens in his tester, and how Jeep manages to keep infotainment and other controls modern and simple. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sami chimes in with his confusing experience in the 2022 Volvo C40 Recharge, a battery-electric vehicle with the same dimensions, powertrain and range as the XC40 EV, not to mention the Polestar 2. So what does the C40 do differently? Listen to Sami's highlights of the C40 and hear how Volvo is artificially inflating its showrooms. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then the duo chats about weird and confusing car trim names but like FOOLS they forgot to mention the long list of night-time related black-out models. Finally, they end the episode on a riff of this weeks news, including details about an Infiniti crossover that will fit between the QX50 and QX60 and won't be called the QX55. &lt;/p&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>The theme of this week's episode is luxury crossovers, but be sure you stick around for the fun game at the end of the episode. First Benjamin talks about the new 2022 Infiniti QX60 and where it ranks among the tiers of luxury brands. Is it just a special Nissan Pathfinder, or something more? Then Sami chats with Benjamin about his latest drives of the 2022 Lexus NX, 2022 Genesis GV70 and 2022 BMW X3, three very good yet different luxury crossovers. Finally, Sami grilles Ben in a lightning  round of "This or That," which you won't want to miss.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Benjamin drives the new 2022 Infiniti QX60 and frames his take on it by discusshing the heirarchy of luxury car brands. What is Tier 1 Luxury anyways and where does Infiniti rank? While the QX60 shares many components with the Nissan Pathfinder, the styling and effort with the details are supposed to make it stand out, so find out what Benjamin thinks after his time with the 3-row Japanese luxury SUV. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then Sami goes on a wild discussion about three of the newest and hottest luxury crossovers on the market. The 2022 Lexus NX has a new look and touch-screen interface, but is that enough to overcome the other options in the segment? The 2022 BMW X3 has the best motor in the segment, and a familiar cabin and experience, though can feel a bit choppy at times. Finally the 2022 Genesis GV70 seems like the jack-of-all-trades, with an experience that's good enough for most. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Finally, Sami surprises Ben with a new lightning round game called "This or That." You won't want to miss it! Download, stream, rate, review, subscribe or do whatever you want to do! Thanks for listening! Arch Deluxe! &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The 2021 BMW M5 Competition might be the perfect luxury sedan, if crushing power and four-door track performance are your thing. Benjamin argues that as impressive as the car is, 90 percent of buyers would be just as well served by the also-fantastic BMW M550i xDrive.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sami dives into the 2021 Infiniti QX55 SUV, and while he loves the looks inside and out he's not so sure Infiniti makes a compelling argument as to why the QX55 should be picked out of a very deep premium crossover field.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Finally, after a lengthy rant about the 'waterfall capital of Canada,' the pair answer a listener question about the best era for driver's cars. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Benjamin and Sami have their most heated debate to date when discussing Sami's time behind the wheel of the 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan - an SUV Benjamin views as an abomination for the distinguished automaker, despite Sami's passionate defense for its place in the world. Even more brand weirdness ensues with Sami comparing his drive in the 2019 BMW Z4 with the Toyota Supra, its platform twin. Stick around for second thoughts on the 2019 Infiniti QX50 and 2019 Subaru Forester SUVs. &lt;/p&gt;
