Everyday Driver Car Debate

The guys discuss modern car interiors with screens, and how the driving experience compares to cars of the past. Who does interiors right, and who does interiors badly? They debate single-car autobahn choices for Joshua in Germany, whose back is hurting from the long distances. Then, Brandon in TN has a perfectly sorted garage. So why is he looking for what’s next? Social media questions ask how to make road trips better for your girlfriend, will there be more competition in the small-truck segment, and will the guys ever be back on Motor Trend TV?

Audience questions ask the guys’ thoughts on where they would consider living, what’s their least-favorite performance add-on, and Track/Daily/Crush returns!

The guys wrestle with a Topic Tuesday from Adam W., who is angry at his AWD system. Is AWD a safety feature, or is it made irrelevant with modern tires that are correctly suited for the job? Then, the guys debate two coincidental stories that are so similar they could almost be written by the same person. For Car Conclusions, Jay with the hammer is back with a report, and André in LA loves MINIs so much it’s a good thing they got bigger.
