  <itunes:subtitle>The show starts off with Benjamin's review of the 2025 Ford Maverick and its mysterious Lobo trim, before our hosts plug in to chat about the 2025 Porsche Macan EV. Finally, Benjamin has some thoughts about the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia, but they're barely coherent. See you next week!</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>This Weeks Unnamed Automotive Podcast begins with a thorough review of the 2025 Ford Maverick, which has been  refreshed. Featuring a new drivetrain and a new street truck Lobo trim, the pickup gives Benjamin plenty to talk about, but its new price point seems to be a silver bullet in this whole cheap truck thing. 
Then Sami reviews the 2025 Macan 4 EV, which boasts tons of range and plentiful performance, leaving our host to ask "what else do you want?" It turns out, a cheaper MSRP, nicer interior and a reason for two charge ports would be the answer to that question.
Finally, Benjamin shares some barely coherent thoughts on the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia. Dismissed by Sami as something that is barely more than a Toyota Camry, Benjamin shows up to defend the Signia's honour, while completely ignoring its price and performance. Sometimes vibes is all you need.

  <itunes:subtitle>Which performance SUV has more personality - the 2020 Porsche Macan Turbo or the 2020 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63? Sami spends the week with both and comes away with a definite answer. Benjamin is completely puzzled by who the 2020 Lexus GX 460 is built for. The pair also discuss automotive audiobooks and news from both Kia and Bollinger.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>Personality goes a long way, which is what Sami discovers when comparing two luxury performance SUVs - the 2020 Porsche Macan Turbo and the 2020 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 - that on paper seem a lot closer than they are in reality. Benjamin is completely befuddled by the 2020 Lexus GX 460, an off-road SUV that time forgot, wrapped in a luxury package that time also forget. Also on deck is talk about the Kia Stinger, the Bollinger van, and automotive audiobook recommendations.
