Carsguide Podcast, Ep.30


Episode 30 - X-Class hot takes, Mustang Supercars and Lexus luxury

In this episode James, Richard and Matt find out the best way to speed up production of a car is to, in fact, stop it, and also to make up words for things that already exist, and to make promises you're never going to keep (1:00).

Matt can't talk about the 12th generation Toyota Corolla, but does anyway (3:15), while Richard can, and does, talk about the new Lexus LS flagship (7:40).

Frosty Chops is on the Gold Coast. Don't ask. Just don't (11:55)

Ford returns to the Supercars Championship with the Mustang (13:35) and announces the new Fiesta ST will come to Australia (15:45).

People had opinions about the Mercedes-Benz X-Class ute, so Matt had some answers (18:25), while the future of General Motors' Korean operations appears to be on shaky ground, which makes the shaky ground where Holden sits even shakier (22:45).

James answers last week's "Is it Illegal?" quiz (sort of, yes, depends, and no, respectively) (25:55) and we run through the highs and lows of what's been in our garage this week (29:10).

James Cleary, Richard Berry and Matt Campbell tear down, pressure test and rebuild the issues of the automotive week.
