  <description>&lt;p&gt;Our hosts at the Unnamed Automotive Podcast are perfectly synchronized (unlike the 3rd gear in Sami's car) which means they can come to this weeks show to talk about their vastly different experiences in the same car. Up for review is the 2025 Cadillac Optiq, which both Benjamin and Sami had the pleasure of testing out, and both of them have plenty to say about. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sami seems charmed by its more mainstream roots, while Benjamin thinks the Optiq is the embodiment of GM's recent push for EVs. With plenty of range and space, there's a lot to like about the Optiq, but there are a few oddities too, including its class-exclusive hands-free driving mode too, which wasn't working so smoothly with one of our hosts. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then the guys talk about T-Tops, upcoming EVs and track cars, all questions asked by our fantastic listeners. Don't hesitate to head on over to the site to send us more questions, or connect with us on social media. Thanks for listening! &lt;/p&gt;
