#10 The surprisingly exciting Ford Escort
For some reason we are talking about the Ford Escort. Maybe there's some exciting things to know about his pint-sized car. Maybe it was the forerunner to lots of cars you love. And maybe Steve thought he was picking a different model and is getting confused in his old age. Either way, we'll tell you which Ford Escort is the best of them all!
#9 The drive-through racer Golf GTI
Was the Golf GTI the first hot hatch? No, certainly not. Did it come to define that segment? Absolutely. And for that, it deserves praise, adulation, and dissection by Steve and Adam on which was best, which was worst, and whether we'd rather have one of these or a cheap Chevy Spark.
#8 The bystander killing Ford Mustang
The Ford Mustang was first introduced in 1964, kickstarted the pony cars, and waxing in and out of favor with the general public (ahem Mustang II). Currently, the youths love to take them beyond their limits when crowds are around, and people are getting run over. Is this a good thing? And which Mustang is the best of all time? Adam and Steve are here to answer this, and many more questions you have about the Mustang.
#7 The poster star Lamborghini Countach
It adorns bedroom posters, stars in movies, and takes up a slot on quite a few of our bucket lists - but is the Countach all it's cracked up to be? And when was it at its best? That's what Steve and Adam are here to help you figure out.
#6 The iconic Mini and MINI
It was a cheap people's car not built by Nazis. It was owned by rockstars and school teachers. And it starred in a few blockbusters. But which original Mini, or German MINI, is Best in Class? Steve and Adam are here to tell you, or at least try to convince you.
#5 The uber-American Dodge Viper
The Dodge Viper is one of America's only supercars. It was also built out of truck parts and cheap plastic. Was there ever a good one? Was there ever a bad one? Adam and Steve have some thoughts on the Joe Dirt of cars.
#4 The dentist-loved Mercedes-Benz SL
The SL line is Mercedes' longest lived nameplate, which means Steve and Adam have plenty of generations to choose from as they argue which one is Best in Class. Bonus - Here's the hilarious Roger Federer commercial mentioned in the episode: https://youtu.be/t6JlFV-Bva8
#3 The original Yuppie-creating BMW 3 Series
Did the BMW 3 Series invent the Yuppie, or did Yuppies create the BMW 3 Series? And which is best - a boring 3 or an exciting 3? Adam and Steve argue it out again this week as each decides which 3 Series is Best in Class.
#2 The ubiquitious Ford Bronco
The Ford Bronco has gained fame and notoriety throughout it's many generations, but which model is best? As always, that's what Steve and Adam are to here figure out. Join us as we discuss OJ, the new Bronco, and questionable advertisements from the past.
#1 The internet favorite Mazda Miata
In the inaugural Best In Class episode, Adam and Steve discuss, argue, and shout about the Mazda Miata. Each host picks their favorite iteration of the famous Japanese roadster and lays out the reasons why their pick is the best example of the Miata, and should be considered Best In Class.
