We are back for episode 186 (though we say it’s 187, it’s not)!
After usual bollocks, we talk about – and Mitch rants about – Subaru releasing a dual-cab ute called the Brumby, and seems like it’ll be based on the Toyota Hilux.
Mitch then talk about Ferrari releasing the F171, a new 522kw ‘supercar’ powered by a hybrid V6, which is terribly sad, old man Enzo must be rolling in his grave, before talking about Ferrari making a return to LeMans in the new ‘Hypercar’ class (which replaces the LMP1 class).
Matt then talks about the Australian automotive sales stats for February 2021.
Then Matt goes on a bit of a rant about Volkswagen’s ridiculous SUV-focuses range, then the Range Rover and the Defender, and Matt talks about the RAM TRX (which we have already talked about, but whatever), and the new Hyundai Ioniq 5.
Joseph then talks about the new Mitsubishi Express Van – which is just a rebadged Renault Traffic – being the first ever vehicle to get a zero-start ANCAP safety rating, and Mitch finally gets to talk about the new 5.0L Supercharged V8 coming to the Range Rover Defender.
Then we talk about AliExpress, Mitch’s favourite website, and Joseph gives an update on how his new differential in his GT86 is going, and Matt talks about what’s being done to his LandCruiser.

This is probably our most left-of-field start to an episode ever...
Joseph somewhat kicks off the news - what there is of it - this week with news about the Porsche GT3 RS (ps. we never came back around to Mitch's Porsche pick, we're not very good at our jerbs), and then Matt clarifies the Subaru Impreza/WRX/STi breakups.
We then suggest what car Joseph should get to be a new daily driver, as the 86 is becoming a little too racecar for daily driver duties anymore.
Matt then talks about the Mk8 Golf R Wagon, and Joseph talks about the new Subaru Levorg, and an Amarok/Ranger based Land Rover Defender, and then we argue semantics.
We then talk about the GR Camry, which we really like, and a Tesla Model 2, and the concept Mazda 6.

Late again. My bad, my bad.
Matt isn't with us this week, but in his absence, we still managed to smash out a banger of an episode for your earholes.
After some bollocks, Mitch kicks off the news with a bit more leakage from the Toyota marque around the 300 Series LandCruiser... And sadly, it does seem like the next Cruiser will have a 3.5L-hybrid V6 twin-turbo petrol, and potentially a 3.3L V6 turbo diesel... From which we talk about how it's time to move on from the 2JZ.
Then we briefly talk about Holden having ZERO sales for January 2021.
Joseph then talks news from across the pond, the new Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing.
We then talk about the rumours and lazy renders surrounding the 5th-gen WRX due in Australia in 2022 with the FA24DIT, and the ven more lazy rumours surrounding the Nissan 400Z.
Then we talk about the next-generation Mercedes-AMG C63.... Which will have a spooly-boi 2.0L 4-banger from the A45S, plus a hybrid system, from which we then talk about Diesel's continued popularity in Australia, and then we end on general nonsense and a discussion on gearing.

Matt then issues us a challenge by trying to find a 4x4 or a sports car that appears to not have been affected by the Covid Tax.
Joseph then brings back the news by talking about SSC Tuatara actually breaking the high-speed record for real this time, by hitting 455km/h, and LMCT+ buying the most expensive vehicle sold at auction in Australia by buying one of the very last HSV GTSR-W1 Maloo for a smidge over $1million Aussie Dollarydoos.
Mitch then talks about the updates to the Tesla Model S and X range, specifically the Plaid+ model variant of the Model S.
Joseph then talks about some weird and crazy car laws in Queensland.

Yeah, it's late, but shhhh.
We kick off the news this week with Joseph talking about the apparently 'new' Jeep Grand Cherokee, which looks a helluva lot like the old Grand Cherokee.
Mitch then talks about FCA and PSA making it Facebook Official and forming a new group 'Stellantis'.
Matt then talks about how 66% of Ford Australia's sales is the Ranger, which is causing some concern within the ranks of Ford Australia as the next Ranger is a shared platform with the Volkswagen Amarok, from which we talk about the Ford Bronco not coming to RHD markets and 'Murican "trucks".
Mitch then talks about Lada bringing out a new Niva, while still selling the OG Niva, and BMW coming out with their first 'M' electric car, the i4 M, and the Mustang will more-than-likely only be offered with an electric drivetrain by the end of the decade, but the next-generation Mustang due in 2023 might get a new 6.8L V8, and Hyundai ending all development on new diesel engines.
We then talk about how a little while ago we asked for negative reviews, and we got one!
Mitch then talks about what he's done to the Prado and the Hilux, before Joseph and Matt talk about what they've done to Joseph GT86.

Mitch then talks about Ken Block and Ford getting a divorce and seeing other people; ie, they've parted ways. Ken might potentially go back to Subaru. Then Mitch talks about the new Singer ACS Safari/Rally 911; a two-off commission by a rich bloke.
Joseph then talks about BMW shitting the bed with the new M2 CS promotional video, which features the audio-track of an Audi V10 super-imposed over the video... Basically, BMW is having an identity crisis at the moment.
Joseph then talks about GM's crap new logo that is just pure crap.
Mitch then goes on a rant about how he got banned from commenting on Ozzy Tyres' Facebook page, then Joseph and Mitch then talk about getting OBD2 readers for their cars, and we talk about Mitch's new Android head unit and GME UHF.
