This week Sami and Benjamin are finally free to talk about two super-hyped cars. First they take the muzzle off Sami so he can discuss the 2023 Honda Civic Type R, which has been refined and upgraded for this generation. Sporting 316 hp and a less juvenile design, it seems like the new hot hatch is surpassing its predecessor, but does that mean its worth the money? Then Benjamin drops some knowledge based on his drive in the new 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4Matic, an all-electric flagship sedan with 350 miles of range along with every gadget, gimmick and feature known to man.

How good can a four-door 2022 Mini Cooper S really be? Benjamin chats about his experience with the compact hatch and how different it feels compared to the JCW droptop from a few weeks back. Sami then chats about one of his favorite cars of all time, the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, and how its legacy is quickly diminishing following the reveal of the new 2022 Mercedes-AMG SL, which now sounds more like a 911 than ever before.
Benjamin also brings up the Hummer H2 and how the brand could have avoided an untimely death if just a few other automakers jumped into the market of tough, rugged, big, SUVs, a theory that makes Sami sick. Finally, the pair discuss some ugly news over at Rivian, and how the EV startup has some serious concerns about its toxic corporate culture.
