This week, Nick and Nathan dive deep into the 2025 Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 Hybrids—and throw in the new-for-2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid for good measure. Sure, Lambos and Corvettes are way cool, but it's cars like these that people actually care about. We chat about their strengths, weaknesses, and especially fuel economy to figure out which one is the better buy. Spoiler alert: there's no wrong answer, but like the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

This week, Nick and Nathan share their thoughts on the 2024 Nissan Ariya and 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST. Meanwhile, Rush is pleasantly surprised by the 2024 VW Jetta GLI, even going as far as to say he'd take one over an Elantra N or a WRX.

Plus, we finish up the episode by recounting our personal picks for Car of the Year. Nick still maintains the Ioniq 5 N made him cackle the most—and you can probably guess what stole Rush and Nathan's hearts.

Last but not least, this will be our last episode of 2024. Happy Holidays, and see you all next year!

This week, automotive journalist—and dear friend of ours—Jeff Wilson stopped by the studio and joined Nathan, Nick, and Rush. We chat about the BMW i7 M70, revisit the Nissan Z, say goodbye to the Jaguar F-Pace SVR, and Jeff grills Nathan about his experiences as a not-so-novice rider.

It's a slightly different format this week: Nick's out on the west coast for an Infiniti launch, so Nathan and Rush have taken the reigns on the podcast this week.

But they have lots to talk about! They bid farewell to the Lamborghini Huracan, Nathan gets reacquainted with a gem of a Mazda RX-7, and the two are blown away by the top-spec Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate Calligraphy.

Oh, and Nathan got his motorcycle licence earlier this year—so naturally, he started reviewing bikes! He shares his thoughts on a couple of Hondas and a BMW he sampled as a new rider.

This week, Nathan returns from his travels to LA, bringing us up to speed on Volvo's all-new, all-electric 2025 EX90. Plus, he spent a few extra days there behind the wheel of the refreshed 2025 Aston Martin DBX 707, and had his mind positively blown at the Petersen Automotive Museum in downtown LA.

While Nathan was out, Nick was off in Ann Arbor checking out the 2025 VW Jetta, which sees a handful of tweaks and updates — some good, others not so much — while remaining a ridiculously great value proposition.

And finally, we cap off the episode sharing our thoughts on the 2025 BMW M4 Competition cabrio, as well as Aston's delicious DB12 Volante.

This week, Adi ponders why a base-ish F-150 costs so much, Nick is pleasantly surprised by the WRX GT, and Nathan recounts his (partial) cross-Canada road trip with Toyota.

Plus, Nathan finally gets his rant from last week off his chest: the Toyota GR86 is a certifiably good sports car, but it just can't match the ND Miata's magic.

We're kicking off this week's episode recounting our highlights from the Oblivion Car & Culture show last weekend. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out: this show celebrates not just the cars, but all things 80s and 90s. It's the only place you'll probably see a Ferrari Testarossa sandwiched between a Nissan Stanza and a Dustbuster.

Oh, and we obviously brought a bunch of our own — and our friends' — cool toys from the 80s and 90s.

Plus, Nick is in the short-wheelbase 2024 Range Rover SV this week. It's a positively sumptuous behemoth carrying a $300,000 price tag, but is it really worth it? Nathan and Imran — who recently spent some time with a long-wheelbase Range Rover Autobiography and a Range Rover Sport PHEV, respectively — chime in.

This week, Imran shares his thoughts on two hybrids he drove recently: the 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T PHEV, and the 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid. One is far too expensive for its own good, and the other is arguably the sweet spot of the lineup. Care to guess which is which?

Plus, Rush is soaking up the sun this week with the 2024 Jaguar F-Type P575 convertible. Cats really do have nine lives, because Jaguar keeps saying this'll be the "last" F-Type on the local press fleet, but we ain't complaining. A loud V8 and a roof that disappears at the touch of a button is always a recipe for a good time.

As for Nathan ... oh yeah, he couldn't make it this week. So, Adi popped in to try and make sense of Nick's recent obsession with Lexus IS Fs. Is jumping from an E39 M5 to an IS F as a daily driver a downgrade?

Adi joins the crew this week to have a reasonable and level-headed discussion about the 2024 BMW Z4 M40i — which as we all know, gets an optional six-speed manual this year. Except it's less a level-headed discussion, and more of a heated debate: Nick and Nathan are smitten with this car, but Adi and Imran are fully Team Boxster. That's OK, they're allowed to be wrong.

Not to be overshadowed by the stickshift Bimmer, we also have the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N this week. Colour us shocked: the Ioniq 5 N goes against everything a "car person", yet it's quite possibly the most hilarious and entertaining car we've driven this year.

This week, Imran's back and tells us all about the 2024 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio and the 2024 Toyota GR Corolla.

Plus, Nathan goes bananas over the 2024 Ford Mustang GT with the Performance Package, and Nick — well, his press car was cancelled this week, so he's just...here.

This week, Nathan reviews the 2025 Subaru WRX RS — or TR, if you're tuning in from the good ol' US of A. Depending on what you want out of a sporty small car, this may very well be the best bang for your buck.

Plus, Nick recaps how his week is going so far with the 2024 Vinfast VF8. After a rocky launch — and that's putting it mildly — VinFast has done a good job righting many of the wrongs in the early cars. But some software bits still need some time in the oven.

And finally, Imran's back in the studio! Fresh off driving the refreshed 2024 Range Rover Velar, he has proclaimed himself DoubleClutch.ca's resident Premium Dude.

This week, Nick and Nathan are spending some quality time with a couple of dinosaurs: the 4Runner TRD Pro, and the Ranger Raptor.

Plus, these two Miata apologists nerd out over the tweaks to the 2024 Miata — known as the ND3 in Miata-speak. What better way to see if all these seemingly piecemeal changes make a meaningful difference than going for a back-to-back rip with Nathan's '23 ND?

Here's what we discussed this week:

• 2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro
• 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor
• 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata

This week, we're kicking things off by welcoming our newest contributor to the team! Everyone, meet Paolo Manalo: he's always well-dressed, he owns the mintiest E39 530i M-Sport, and this week, he shares his thoughts on the freshly redesigned Santa Fe Hybrid.

Plus, we're revisting two familiar cars this week: the still-shockingly-good Prius Prime, and the still-delicous IS 500. Except this time, we can't help but wonder if we were looking back at the IS 500 with rose-tinted glasses. Indeed a conundrum.

Here's what we discussed this week:

• Paolo's own toy, a manual-swapped 2003 BMW 530i M-Sport
• The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid
• The 2024 Toyota Prius Prime
• The 2024 Lexus IS 500

The team recently spent some quality time with three new EVs underpinned by GM's new Ultium platform: the Chevy Blazer EV, Cadillac Lyriq, and Honda Prologue. How do you make the same car feel different? It's all in the execution here—despite the identical underpinnings, each one feels appreciably different than the other. Much to our surprise.

Oh, and we have the 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport in the garage, too. It's stick!

This week, Nathan and Rush talk twinning trucks—the Chevy Colorado ZR2 and GMC Canyon AT4X, to be exact. Plus, Nathan shares his thoughts on the Chevy Blazer EV, and Nick comes away impressed with the Jetta GLI's value proposition — even though he drove his Miata into the office that day.

Here's what we discussed:

• 2023 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2
• 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X
• 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS
• 2024 Polestar 2
• 2024 Volkswagen GTI 40th Anniversary Edition

It's the Lost Episode this week; thanks to some technical difficulties, this one didn't see the light of day, but that changes today!

From the 2025 Urus PHEV to the swan song for the stick GTI, plus a big Range Rover and a couple of sporty Subies thrown in for measure, Nick and Nathan have lots to chat about in this one. Enjoy!

Here's what we talked about in this episode:

• 2025 Lamborghini Urus SE
• 2024 Range Rover Sport
• 2024 Subaru WRX RS
• 2024 Subaru BRZ tS
• 2024 Volkswagen GTI 380

This week, Toyota tossed us the keys to the new Land Cruiser for a day. Nathan jumped the highest and caught them, so he tells us all about Toyota's iconic and thoroughly redesigned off-roader.

Plus, Nick and Imran remenisce about the G35 Coupe with rose-tinted glasses — while Nathan, uhh, disagrees with their assessments — and the crew agrees that a base CX-50 is all the compact crossover most people will ever need.

Here's what we talked about this week:

• 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser
• 2024 Toyota Highlander XLE AWD Nightshade
• 2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe (owned by a good friend of ours)
• 2024 Mazda CX-50 GS-P

This week, Nathan tells us about the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter he drove a few weeks ago — he calls it a '25 on the podcast, but it's actually a '24 — aimed squarely at the Colorado ZR2, Canyon AT4, and Ranger Raptor. Is its hardcore off-road hardware and hybrid powertrain enough to make it stand out? It sure looks the part.

Plus, Imran has a confession to make: he has a crush on his press car this week, the new-for-2024 Crosstrek Wilderness. In fact, of all the subcompact-ish crossovers out there, that's the one he'd park in his driveway — much to Nathan's bemusement, who's still coming off his HR-V high.

And finally, Nick's in the X1 M35i, the hot hatch-ish variant of BMW's ubiquitous X1. He wants to like it, but there are a couple of things holding him back. BMW, if you're reading — or listening — make the "Sport" programming for the transmission standard.

Here's what we discussed this week:

• 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter
• 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness
• 2024 BMW X1 M35i

Imran took a few weeks off for Ramadan, but he's back in studio this week, recapping what he's been driving — from the honkin' Yukon Denali Ultimate to the Mini JCW "1 to 6 Edition" that could probably fit in its trunk. Plus, Nathan spent a day with the just-redesigned, ninth-gen Camry—a.k.a. the "Default Car"—and Nick has the Civic Si this week.

Oh, this is probably worth mentioning: the crew also played with a Huracan Sterrato for a couple of days this week. NBD.

Here's what we talked about this week:

• 2025 Toyota Camry
• 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6
• 2024 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate
• 2024 Mini John Cooper Works 3-Door 1 to 6 Edition
• 2024 Honda Civic Si
• 2024 Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato

A few months ago, Nick spent some quality time with the Cayenne Coupe and wanted to like it, the base turbo V6 wasn't a good match. This week, behind the wheel of the 2024 Porsche Cayenne S, he confirms his suspicious — that the Cayenne is best enjoyed with at least eight cylinders.

Meanwhile, Nathan finds himself unexpectedly smitten with his press car. This isn't exactly unusual; Nathan's fallen for cars like the IS 500, the Z4, and the Chrysler 300C. But this time, it's the 2024 Honda HR-V making Nathan go bananas.

Plus, Rush joins in-studio to offer his thoughts on the Cayenne S and HR-V, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner that just debuted, and to generally berate Nick and Nathan.

This week, just Nick and Nathan are in the studio. Nick just returned from a vacation in Florida, where he spent a few days with the Mustang Dark Horse. It sure does live up to the hype — with the exception of one crucial driver/machine interface.

Meanwhile, Nathan recaps the Ford Expedition and Nissan Pathfinder that passed by the office while Nick was out, the two quickly go over the fresh sheet metal from the New York Auto Show, and the not-long-for-this-world Toyota Venza prompts Nathan to ponder what other press cars he's driven deserve a second chance.

Here's what we discussed this week:

• 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse
• 2024 Ford Expedition
• 2024 Nissan Pathfinder
• 2024 Toyota Venza
• New York International Auto Show debuts, including the next-generation Infiniti QX80, Nissan Kicks, and Kia K4, plus the refreshed 2025 Hyundai Tucson and Santa Cruz

This week, Jeff Wilson — recurring guest and dear friend of DoubleClutch.ca — pops by the studio to chat with Nick about the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. It ticks all the boxes a good family hauler should, but does it look perhaps a bit too similar to certain other boxy, albeit much more expensive SUV out there?

Plus, Nathan returns from Salt Lake City, where he sampled the all-grown-up 2024 Ford Ranger. Is it now the best midsize truck for the money? You'll have to listen to find out.

And last but certainly not least, DC boss-man and editor-in-chief Ben So joins to wax poetic about his wheels this week. After a brief hiatus, the Camry TRD is back for 2024 as a send-off to Toyota's dearly beloved normally-aspirated V6. It's the ultimate Cool Dad mobile.

Here's what we discussed this week:

• 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe
• 2024 Ford Ranger
• 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor
• 2024 Toyota Camry TRD
• 2024 Toyota 4Runner

This week, the team kicks off the show by confronting the big, electric elephant in the room. The Dodge Charger EV is here, and there's a lot to unpack.

Plus, Nathan is in the Mercedes-Benz GLS 580, and Nick (and the rest of the crew) is pleasantly surprised by the 2024 Toyota Crown with the range-topping, 340-hp Hybrid Max powertrain.

Here's what we talked about this week:

• 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS 580
• 2024 Toyota Crown Platinum Hybrid Max
• 2024/2025 Dodge Charger

This week, Imran's back after a short break and tells us all about the 2024 Kia EV9. It's the first mainstream, three-row EV SUV on the market, and it's made quite a first impression.

Plus, Nathan recaps his week with the Lincoln Navigator, Nick debates whether the Buick Encore Avenir is really worth several thousand more over a loaded Chevy Trax, and we actually find a thing or two to like about the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.

Here's what we drove this week:

• 2024 Kia EV9
• 2024 Lincoln Navigator

• 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

This week, freelance writer and dear-friend-of-DoubleClutch Jeff Wilson joins the team to air some greivances. Apparently, we're wrong about the S-Class PHEV and 718 Boxster!

Plus, the team recaps the Toronto auto show, and Nathan has some big news to share!

Cars we covered:

• 2024 Mercedes-Benz S 580e + S 63 E-Performance PHEVs
• 2024 Porsche 718 Boxster
• 2024 Jaguar F-Type
• 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata

This week, Nathan and Nick spend some quality time with two fun-sized, correct-wheel-drive roadsters: the 2024 Porsche 718 Boxster Style Edition, and the 2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata.

Plus, Nathan chats about his brief stint with a Rivian R1S, and Rush gets the hiccups. Quick, someone get him a glass of water!

Here's what we discussed this week:

• 2024 Porsche 718 Boxster Style Edition
• 2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata
• 2024 Rivian R1S

This week, Nick has an admission to make: with the 2024 Mercedes-Benz S 580e PHEV in the garage, Adi wasn't entirely out to lunch about his infatuation with the S-Class.

Plus, there's another plug-in hybrid in the garage: it's impractical, loud, engaging, and British. If you guessed the 2024 McLaren Artura, you're correct!

Here's what we drove (and discussed) this week:

• 2024 Mercedes-Benz S 580e PHEV
• 2024 McLaren Artura
• 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale

This week, Rush is in the Lexus RX 450h+ PHEV. He really, really wants to like it, but there's one big problem: Lexus simply offers too many versions of the RX, and for much less money.

Plus, Imran and Nick recount their EV-range-in-winter experiences with the Mercedes-Benz EQE AMG and Volvo XC40 Recharge, respectively. And finally, Nathan tells us about the base, rear-wheel-drive Hyundai Ioniq 5 he's in this week. It may very well be the mobile appliance to rule them all.

What we discussed this week:

• 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ PHEV
• 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE AMG Sedan
• 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge
• 2024 Mazda3 Sport Turbo Suna Edition

We spent the last couple of weeks driving boxes on wheels! Nathan speaks his thoughts on Kia's all-new EV9 and Volvo's sensibly juicy V90 Polestar, and Imran tells us all about the Land Rover Defender 130 Outbound.

Nick, on the other hand, didn't drive a box on wheels last week — but rather the best-kept secret in BMW's electric lineup, the i4. Also, don't tell anyone, but he admitted he actually likes the front end. He might need an eye test.

Here's what we drove:

• 2024 Kia EV9
• 2024 Volvo V60 Polestar
• 2024 Land Rover Defender 130 Outbound
• 2024 BMW i4 xDrive 40e
• 2024 Hyundai Tucson N-Line Hybrid

There isn't much that makes sense about a $500,000 motorcar, but dare we say the Rolls-Royce Spectre being all-electric actually makes sense? Plus, Imran tells us about the couple of Mazdas he's had over the last couple of weeks, and Rush drops by with the raucous Jaguar F-Pace SVR.

Oh, and we've coined a new term for critiquing cars: Nick-picking.

Full house this week! Adi joins Nick, Nathan, and Imran in-studio to debate what exactly the Honda Ridgeline has going for it besides its admittedly very smooth powertrain. Plus, we have the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, VW Taos, and the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT in the garage this week.

But most importantly, Adi has some big news to share! He bought a car — but not just any car...

Here's what we drove this week:

• 2023 Honda Ridgeline
• 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD High Country
• 2023 Volkswagen Taos

• 2023 Mercedes-Benz S 580
• 1999 Mercedes-Benz S 500

Nathan has fallen in love yet again. This time, it's with a big V8 sedan that won't be around for much longer. Why are his affairs so passionate yet so short-lived?

Plus, with the 2024 Chevy Trax RS in the garage this week, the crew ponders what happend to all the "cheap" cars you could've bought not too long ago. (Hint: they've all become more expensive crossovers — except for the Trax, which has somehow stayed under $30K fully loaded despite its glow-up for 2024.) As well, we have the 2024 Hyundai Kona in the garage, Imran is yearning for a Mazdaspeed CX-30, and BMW's X7 M60i proves techy and gimmicky three-row SUVs don't have to be boats.

What we drove this week:

• 2024 Chrysler 300C Final Edition
• 2024 Chevrolet Trax RS
• 2024 Hyundai Kona
• 2024 Mazda CX-30
• 2024 BMW X7 M60i

This week, Nick is joined in-studio by Adi and Rush, and Rush has a confession to make: after putting a ton of work into his G50-era 911 Targa, he likes the car, but doesn't love it. Is chasing perfection in classic cars really worth it?

Plus, we talk about the 2023 Volkswagen ID.4, the 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty, and Adi can't stop borrowing his dad's new car, a 2022 Mercedes-Benz S 580.

What we drove:

• Mercedes-AMG C 43
• Mercedes-Benz EQE 500

The last time Imran drove a Ferrari, he was a twentysomething kid and far too nervous to actually enjoy it. This week, he gets a do-over — behind the wheel of a 488 GTB — and tells us all about it.

Plus, Nick and Nathan talk about their recent NPC-mobiles, BMW's absolutely massive 760i xDrive, and ponder what, exactly, is so special about the Toyota 4Runner.

What we drove this week:

• Ferrari 488 GTB
• BMW 760i xDrive
• Chevy Equinox
• Lexus NX 350 F-Sport
• Mercedes-Benz GLC 300
• Toyota 4Runner

Rush is in the base, six-speed-manual Mini Cooper, which surprised us all by capturing the spirit of the original Mini quite well. Plus, we finally see what the fuss is all about with the six-speed manual Toyota Supra — spoiler alert, it's great — and meet their heroes thanks to something special from Mazda Canada's Heritage Fleet.

And last but not least, because goodbyes aren't easy, the team bids farewell to the Jaguar F-Type. Goodnight, sweet prince.

We fawn over the vintage eye candy we saw before the show, rip Adi a new one for fielding his very-nice-but-driver-spec Ferrari 550 Maranello in a show that demands perfection, and Jeff determines the footrest in the back of the $300,000 Range Rover SVAutobiography was more of a toe rest for him.

This week, the team finds themselves with the keys to two Porsches — a 911 and a Taycan, both GTSes. The Taycan made a wonderful impression, but is the 911 GTS too good for its own good?

Plus, Imran's finally come around to the latest Subaru WRX's body cladding, Nathan is absolutely infuriated by the Mercedes-AMG EQS, and the new Nissan Z makes Nick feel nostalgic about his old Infiniti G35.

What we drove this week:

• Porsche 911 + Taycan GTS
• Subaru WRX 6MT
• Nissan Z 6MT
• Mercedes-AMG EQS

This week, your hosts Nick, Nathan, and Imran are joined by Rush, fellow DC staff writer. We ponder who the BMW M8 Competition is for, why Fords smell like dog food, ponder the death of truly affordable cars, and nerd out about all the neat stuff we saw at this year's Oblivion '80s and '90s Car Show!
