About this episode
A lively discussion unfolds as the Car Torque crew reflects on their automotive journeys, including updates on personal projects and car purchases. The episode dives into the topic of conservative car designs, exploring why manufacturers often play it safe with their models. The hosts debate the impact of market demands on creativity and innovation in car design, highlighting examples from brands like Toyota and Mazda. A quiz rounds out the episode, testing the hosts' knowledge on automotive trivia, with plenty of banter and laughs along the way.
On this episode of Car Torque, Matty, Alam, Ed, Scotty, Rob and Chad discuss their latest updates and the closure of a car enthusiasts favourite, IMLACHS Self Serve Wreckers. The boys also discuss what cars are considered conservative.
Scotty makes the boys battle it out in the quiz!
