About this episode
A lively discussion kicks off with Jaguar's new branding, which some liken to a high-end yogurt line rather than a car company. The hosts critique the lack of a new vehicle to accompany the rebranding and debate Jaguar's direction. They also cover Lotus's surprising decision to delay full electrification, and the hosts share their thoughts on the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Honda Pilot. The episode features car debates, including a listener seeking a car with 'soul' and another looking for a practical EV, leading to unique recommendations like the BMW i3 and Nissan Aria.

Jaguar introduces food, Lotus does a 180, and Hyundai discovers itself! The guys discuss all the new car models being introduced. They debate cars with soul for Blake in LA, who has an eclectic collection. They debate commuters for Stephen, a photographer who drives a lot. Social media questions ask what car the guys would drive when taking someone special to dinner, what’s their favorite car they’d never buy, and can you muddle through winter on performance tires?

Jaguar Etype
"you don't want to be known for that, it is wildly successful to just do something so outrageous. You get eyeballs. True. Yes. And in that regard, Jaguar has knocked it out of the park here, because all of the industry cars and none was going, what's Jaguar doing yesterday? When's the last time anybody cared? Everybody's going, what is Jaguar doing yesterday? And the last couple of days, 1963. Well, every time they bring out a new pretty car, they always have the Jaguar e-type at the press launch. I mean, they've been looking backwards forever. This is 1961. They went so far. Yeah, they went so far into notice us, because we are a brand only that they didn't even put a car in the ad. So my business school, as much as I don't like this and I don't, this is absolutely the school of no publicity is bad publicity, because now everybody that only kind of care Jaguar makes cars will be watching on December 2nd."
