Ep. 76 | DM Podcast

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 21:00:00 +0000

It's a sad day. The Daily Motor Podcast is going on hiatus as Charlie has decided to move to California. The guys appreciate all of you tuning in for over a year now to hear silly takes on cars, casual food reviews, and enthusiasm about clapped CoPart cars. This week, Chris and Charlie recap their time in the 2023 BMW i7 and 2023 Volkswagen Taos SEL and preview their time with the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Duramax. Oh and they finally eat the All Bran! Enjoy!

Ep. 75 | DM Podcast

Tue, 30 May 2023 22:14:49 +0000

Chris and Charlie drove a ton of cars in the last week. And they don't really feel like talking about any of them. But because they like you so much, they will anyway, although only while they're stuffing their faces with food. This episode recaps their time with the 2023 Kia EV6 GT as well as a host of other vehicles. They've been so busy that they didn't even have any good CoPart cars. Sad :( Enjoy!

Ep. 74 | DM Podcast

Tue, 23 May 2023 21:00:00 +0000

It's a good thing Chris and Charlie recorded this when they did, because DM HQ lost power about five minutes after they finished! In this episode, Chris battles hunger to tell you all about his time in the 2023 Genesis G90. Charlie briefly reminisces on his time in Hawaii with the 2024 Toyota Tacoma and 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander, but Chris didn't seem too interested, so they quickly moved on. From there, they previewed the cars for this week, including a 2023 Kia EV6 GT, 2023 Nissan Sentra SR, and a 2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI SE 6MT. A little CoPart at the end and then Chris runs off to go...well, run. Enjoy!

Ep. 73 | DM Podcast

Tue, 16 May 2023 21:00:00 +0000

This is a family show, we promise! In today's episode, Chris and Charlie try to figure out why they didn't love the 2023 Nissan Ariya Evolve+ e-Force. Maybe it's the name. However, they know exactly why they loved the 2023 Acura Integra manual! Although Charlie would like to try the CVT as well. This week, Charlie will be testing the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander in sunny Hawaii while Chris soaks in the luxurious 2023 Genesis G90. At one point in here, Charlie tries to show you all a Lexus but doesn't realize that the screen is blank. Classic. Enjoy!

Ep. 72 | DM Podcast

Tue, 09 May 2023 21:38:45 +0000

Chris and Charlie are back with exciting reporting on their time with the 2023 BMW XM, 2023 Toyota Supra 6MT, and 2023 Ford Bronco Heritage 6MT. However, some of you will be disappointed that they have no food to eat. Sad. However, they do get excited about this week's cars, the 2023 Nissan Ariya and 2023 Acura Integra 6MT. Charlie can't remember the exact verbiage of the Ariya trim so he's skipping it. No CoPart this week because Charlie is in a hurry, but Chris and Charlie do have some thoughtful insight on their views of Stellantis products. Enjoy!

Ep. 71 | DM Podcast

Tue, 02 May 2023 21:48:12 +0000

We regret to inform you that this week's episode is a bit...boring. No, Charlie didn't drone on about his Town & Country. (Although he did call it beautiful. That's questionable.) Perhaps it was the rainy day or just the fact Chris was sad to give up the 760i, but the energy is low on this one. However, you get to hear Chris and Charlie eat, so that's something. And at some point in the episode they tell you about their times with the 2023 Volkswagen Jetta Sport 6MT and 2023 BMW 760i. And then they preview the 2023 BMW XM and 2023 Toyota Supra 3.0 Premium 6MT as well as a bonus 2023 Ford Bronco Heritage 6MT. Love the manuals! Enjoy!

Ep. 70 | DM Podcast

Tue, 25 Apr 2023 21:00:00 +0000

In an engaging Sunday special episode, Chris and Charlie get distracted by Snapchat's new AI functionality while trying to tell you about their weeks with the all-new 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring and the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV SEL. They very much liked one of these cars. They also spent time with the new Ioniq 6, although they didn't talk about it much. Must have not left much of an impression. This week they're very excited because they get to drive two excellent cars, the 2023 Volkswagen Jetta manual and the 2023 BMW M760i. Oh and the 2024 Chevy Trax and 2023 GMC Canyon. No CoPart today because Chris is hungry. Enjoy!

Ep. 69 | DM Podcast

Tue, 18 Apr 2023 21:44:14 +0000

No jokes. Not funny. This is a serious episode about serious cars. Chris and Charlie enjoy some San Pellegrino while discussing their time with one of their favorite test cars of all time, the 2023 Volvo S60 Recharge Ultimate Black Edition, and a decent test car, the 2023 BMW X1. Then they spill the beans about the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV SEL that they're testing. But at least they have the all-new 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring to look forward to. Oh and Chris has some good CoPart finds. Enjoy!

Ep. 68 | DM Podcast

Tue, 11 Apr 2023 21:00:00 +0000

In a much more focused episode of the Daily Motor Podcast, Chris and Charlie stir up some celebrity controversy! Sorry Leo. They also tell you all about their time with the 2023 Toyota Prius Prime, 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid, 2023 Toyota bZ4X Limited AWD (wow, lots of Toyota product recently), and 2023 Kia Soul GT-Line. Moral of the story: You should probably buy a Kia Soul. This week at DM HQ, they've got a 2023 Volvo S60 Recharge (thankfully packing the Bowers & Wilkins sound system) as well as a 2023 BMW X1. Oh and a few fun CoPart cars. Enjoy!

Ep. 67 | DM Podcast

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 21:42:35 +0000

This is what we get for recording in the late afternoon! Many yawns from Charlie and many drawn out stories from Chris. However, they've driven a lot of cars, so they have much to talk about! Thoughts on the 2023 BMW M8, 2023 BMW M2, 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited, and 2024 Mazda CX-90. Charlie also drove a few choice Toyotas, but he cannot speak on them until next week. After a brief CoPart segment and only a little trash talking of GM presidents, they're off. Enjoy!

Ep. 66 | DM Podcast

Wed, 29 Mar 2023 21:00:00 +0000

In a rare Friday recording, Chris and Charlie try to come up with fun things to say about their very commuter-focused cars this week, the 2023 Kia Niro Hybrid SX Touring and 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 S (not Pro). Fortunately they were able to speckle in thoughts on some more exciting rides like the 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera PDK. They also previewed their time with the BMW M8 Competition Coupe and 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited. Oh and Charlie defends the US Congress while Chris defends Tik Tok. Typical Gen Z. Enjoy!

Ep. 65 | DM Podcast

Tue, 21 Mar 2023 21:00:00 +0000

In today's episode, Charlie and Chris didn't even realize they were going to be recording the podcast! But they're good at going with the flow, so here we are. They discuss their great weeks driving the 2023 BMW M340i, 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Core, and 2024 BMW XM. Chris recaps his driving impressions of the 2023 Lexus RZ and its yoke steering. Then they preview the cars for this week, the 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S and the 2023 Kia Niro Hybrid SX Touring. Enjoy!

Ep. 64 | DM Podcast

Tue, 14 Mar 2023 22:22:37 +0000

Podcasts are now going up Tuesday night for audio and Wednesday morning for video!

In today's episode, Charlie struggles through a failing voice while Chris tries to talk about more BMWs in the CoPart segment, but the internet connection has other plans. The guys cover their time in the 2023 Honda Pilot TrailSport and 2023 BMW X7 M60i along with a teaser on the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV. Then they previewed their initial thoughts on this week's fleet, the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Core and the 2023 BMW M340i xDrive. And Chris is jealous that Charlie will be driving the all new BMW M3 and XM this week. Sorry Chris. Enjoy!

Ep. 63 | DM Podcast

Mon, 06 Mar 2023 22:16:35 +0000

Charlie is back with a nice tan and Chris is back with impressions on the 2023 Lexus RZ which he cannot share at this time. After flying in late Sunday night, Charlie squeezed in some quick impressions on the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C300 and the newly arrived and redesigned 2023 Honda Pilot. The Mercedes is very good, the Pilot seems fine. But what they're most excited for is the LCI 2023 BMW X7 M60i. Yes, that is a good car. A few quick CoParts and a preview of Charlie's 2023 GMC Hummer EV SUV trip (for a surprise channel!), and that's episode 63. Enjoy!

Ep. 62 | DM Podcast

Mon, 27 Feb 2023 22:00:00 +0000

Apologies from the tech team: The normal podcast mics decided not to record this episode. Perhaps they are Cadillac fans. Thankfully the backup audio came through, and we can still bring you this special Friday episode of the Daily Motor Podcast! Today, Charlie and Chris recap their weeks in the 2023 Cadillac CT4 Premium Luxury with the 2.7T and the 2023 Ford Maverick Tremor! Next week, Chris will be driving the all-new 2023 Lexus RZ and the 2022 Mercedes C300, while Charlie will be reviewing a cruise ship. Thanks, Charlie. Enjoy!

Ep. 61 | DM Podcast

Mon, 20 Feb 2023 23:37:45 +0000

As Charlie and Chris struggle to keep their attention on the cars they drove and not cereal or trucks, you might learn about their time in the 2023 Kia Telluride SX Prestige and the 2023 Genesis Electrified G80. Or you'll hear about their two upcoming cars, the 2023 Ford Maverick Tremor and the 2023 Cadillac CT4 2.7T. Or you'll just hear about cereal and trucks. Enjoy!

Ep. 60 | DM Podcast

Mon, 13 Feb 2023 23:30:53 +0000

In today's episode of the Daily Motor Podcast, Chris and Charlie try their hardest to stay on topic. But that can only get them so far. When they're not apologizing for their mix up between The Real World and The Simple Life or getting distracted by cinnamon rolls (thank you, Emily), they recap their time with the 2023 BMW M3, 2023 Hyundai Elantra N, and 2023 GMC Sierra AT4-X. More Korean cars on the way for this week, as they also preview the 2023 Kia Telluride SX Prestige and the 2023 Genesis G80 Electric. And will Charlie be buying another CoPart car soon? Enjoy!

Ep. 59 | DM Podcast

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 22:27:53 +0000

This episode is bananas! Actually, Chris and Charlie just eat bananas. Kinda. Also they talk about some bananas cars, including the 2023 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe and Hyundai Kona N, two cars that they were very sad to see leave DM HQ. However, they quickly forgot their sadness, as these two sporty cars were replaced with two just as sporty: The 2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive 50 Jahre and the 2023 Hyundai Elantra N with the 6-speed manual! Toss in some rants and some crappy cars (and a nose bleed from Charie), and you've got a classic Daily Motor Podcast. Enjoy!

Ep. 58 | DM Podcast

Tue, 31 Jan 2023 16:00:00 +0000

Charlie and Chris are back in the mitten state and are excited to tell you all about their great driving experiences in Southern California! Cars included are the Toyota GR Corolla, Toyota Mirai, Porsche Cayenne, Porsche 911 Carrera T, Porsche GT4 RS, Maserati MC20, Rivian R1T, Mercedes-AMG EQS, Mercedes-AMG SL63, and Lamborghini Huracan STO, as well as bonus appearances from the Huracan Technica, Porsche Taycan Turbo, Porshce 911 Turbo S, Honda Monkey, Trail 125, Super Cub, Grom, and Navi. As well as some great CoPart cars at the end. Enjoy this long one!

Ep. 57 | DM Podcast

Mon, 23 Jan 2023 22:15:00 +0000

It's the last time Charlie and Chris will speak to you before they head to Southern California for two weeks! While there, they'll be driving the Toyota GR Corolla, Toyota Mirai, Porsche Cayenne, Porsche 911 Carrera T, Porsche GT4 RS, Maserati MC20, Rivian R1T, Mercedes-AMG EQS, Mercedes-AMG SL63, and Lamborghini Huracan STO. Yeah, they're pretty pumped. And they're excited to get away from their recent slew of crossovers, which this last week consisted of the 2023 Infiniti QX80 and the 2023 Hyundai Palisade. Although they still managed to have some strong feelings on these SUVs. Enjoy!

Ep. 56 | DM Podcast

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 22:05:00 +0000

Mmmm, tummies are making the rumblies for this one! Chris and Charlie somehow manage to recap their time in the 2023 Chevy Equinox Rally Sport and 2023 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro while planning out their meal at Prime and Smoothies Nachos! Then they look forward to their time in the rolling V-8 luxury box, the 2023 Infiniti QX80 while waiting to hear what their second car is. Surprise, it's the excellent Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy! Ooooo. Enjoy!

Ep. 55 | DM Podcast

Mon, 09 Jan 2023 22:01:00 +0000

Today is a fun one! In the most on-topic automotive podcast on the internet, Chris and Charlie discuss murder mysteries, misogynists, and car sickness. Why wouldn't you want to listen?? And at some point in there they also discuss their time with the 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid and the 2023 Volvo XC90 Recharge. Then, of course, they get very excited for their time with the 2023 Chevy Equinox and the 2023 Toyota Sequioa TRD Pro. Enjoy!

Ep. 54 | DM Podcast

Mon, 02 Jan 2023 22:00:00 +0000

In the first Daily Motor Podcast episode of 2023, Chris and Charlie celebrate one full year of podcast production! Hooray! Then they also celebrate Audi SQ7 driving, which is lovely. Also somewhere in there is the Kia Niro EV, which provided reliable transportation, even in sub-freezing temperatures. Then they preview their time with the Volvo XC90 Recharge (with a wool interior) and the Kia Sportage hybrid, which Chris may be getting very used to. And they announce (again) the 2022 Daily Motor Best Car of the Year! Enjoy!

Ep. 53 | DM Podcast

Tue, 27 Dec 2022 14:35:35 +0000

In a special holiday episode of the Daily Motor Podcast, Chris and Charlie inadvertently end up spending an entire hour figuring out who has owned more cars. From their first cars, a Chevy Cobalt SS and a Ford Taurus to their newest additions, a Ford F-350 King Ranch and a BMW M Roadster, they've had some fun ones. Enjoy!

Ep. 52 | DM Podcast

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 22:40:54 +0000

In today's episode, which was actually recorded after episode 53, Charlie and Chris talk about their undying love for the Pathfinder Wilderness. I mean TrailSport. I mean Timberline. I mean, the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek. It's fine, but they'd prefer it as an Xterra. They also wrap up their thoughts on the first Genesis SUV, the GV80, which is quite good, but quite good doesn't cut it in the luxury segment. What does cut it is very good, and that's how they'd describe the Audi SQ7 that just arrived at DM HQ. Thanks, Lisa. And of course Charlie is excited about the all-new Kia Niro EV as well. EV enthusiast. Enjoy!

Ep. 51 | DM Podcast

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 20:39:28 +0000

In today's episode of the Daily Motor Podcast, Charlie and Chris try to be excited about a bunch of bland crossovers. Which actually isn't too hard with the Genesis GV60 Performance, because it's not bland, and there's much to discuss about Korean cars and EV ownership. Trust us, Charlie has plenty to rant about. However, there's less to say about the Infiniti QX60 Sensory. Meh. And the Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek isn't making a good first impression with its very loud tires. But they are looking forward to the Genesis GV80 3.5T that's coming today! And the CoPart segment is back after a one-week hiatus. Enjoy!

Ep. 50 | DM Podcast

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 21:16:35 +0000

Everyone send kind thoughts to Chris as he recovers from a rough case of the sniffles. If you can get past our burps and sneezes, tune in for an episode where we breeze through our test cars, the 2023 Lexus RX 500h, Subaru Forester Wilderness, 2023 Infiniti QX60 Sensory, and Genesis GV60 Performance, and then spend most of the time talking about 20-year-old Ford products. How fitting. Enjoy!

Ep. 49 | DM Podcast

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 21:02:32 +0000

It's telling that the Infiniti Q50 and Honda HR-V are not super exciting, because Charlie and Chris had a tough time finding much to say about them. However, some people just want a boring car, and that's perfectly fine. This week brings some more exciting cars, however! A 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness and a 2023 Lexus RX 500h F Sport Performance. We really don't understand why Lexus has F Sport Performance on an RX hybrid, but alas...enjoy!

Ep. 48 | DM Podcast

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 23:09:43 +0000

In a very crispy version of the Daily Motor Podcast, Chris and Charlie equate the new Chevrolet Blazer to Walmart...not sure how Chevy will feel about that one. They also try some vegan and gluten-free chocolate cookies. And then after that they recall their time in the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro aka the Japanese F-150. This week we look forward to welcoming the 2023 Infiniti Q50 Sensory and the 2023 Honda HR-V. Enjoy!

Ep. 47 | DM Podcast

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 22:24:30 +0000

Many fewer BMWs in this podcast! In today's episode of the Daily Motor Podcast, Charlie and Chris discuss two contemporary drivers' cars, the Toyota GR Supra 3.0 and the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing. If this were a manual Supra, it'd be even better. Then, after rambling a bit, they preview the not-very-drivers' cars of this week, the 2023 Chevy Blazer and the 2022 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. And for once, Charlie has CoPart cars to show Chris! Enjoy!

Ep. 46 | DM Podcast

Mon, 07 Nov 2022 22:36:44 +0000

In a very BMW heavy episode of the Daily Motor Podcast, Chris and Charlie discuss how luxury automakers have lost their way. In this episode we cover a lot: 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV, 2023 BMW i7, 2023 BMW 7-series, 2023 BMW X7, 2023 BMW M4 CSL, 2023 BMW 3 series, 2023 BMW X1, 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge, 2022 Rolls-Royce Phantom. Phew. Enjoy!

Ep. 45 | DM Podcast

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 21:30:34 +0000

In today's episode (after they finish their cookies), Charlie and Chris tell you about their time in two good but also flawed vehicles, the 2022 Subaru WRX (automatic) and the 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime (plug-in hybrid). Both good, but also bad. As well as the also good but bad 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS. Then they look forward to two potentially better cars, the Hyundai Santa Fe (plug-in hybrid) and Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing (manual, babyyy). And then they try to spend more of Charlie's money on Copart. Enjoy!

Ep. 44 | DM Podcast

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 21:29:54 +0000

This week at DM HQ, we have a lot of cars and a lot of fried chicken! So we ate the chicken and drove the cars. Charlie and Chris wrap up their experiences with the 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 and the 2022 Hyundai Venue Limited. Then they preview their upcoming week with the 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime, 2022 Subaru WRX GT, and 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS, for which Charlie is excited and Chris is nervous. And Charlie tells you to get the hybrid CR-V. Enjoy!

Ep. 43 | DM Podcast

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 22:42:49 +0000

In what might be the longest episode of the DM Podcast ever recorded, Chris and Charlie discuss hair care and flooded Porsches! Oh, and at some point they discuss their time with the 2023 Nissan Leaf and the 2022 Toyota Camry Hybrid as well as preview their time with the 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 and Hyundai Venue. Guess which one they've enjoyed more so far? Enjoy!

Ep. 42 | DM Podcast

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 19:59:33 +0000

It's green car week at Daily Motor! Featuring the refreshed 2023 Nissan Leaf SV Plus and the 2022 Toyota Camry Hybrid XSE! We're excited to put on lots of miles while using very little gasoline. Which is good, because we just used a ton of gas while driving the Dodge Charger Hellcat Jailbreak and the Honda Passport Trailsport. Both are Starbucks approved. Chris has a few CoPart vehicles for us, but they're mostly bikes. Enjoy!

Ep. 41 | DM Podcast

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 21:17:34 +0000

In today's Stellantis special, Chris and Charlie preview their week with the 2022 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Redeye Jailbreak. Yes, that is the full official name. It makes their other car, the Honda Passport Trailsport, seem trite. For the first three quarters, before Charlie accidentally unplugged Chris's mic, they also recapped their time with the Mazda CX-9 Carbon Edition, which is quite good if you don't really need a third row. Enjoy!

Ep. 40 | DM Podcast

Mon, 26 Sep 2022 21:20:28 +0000

Even though the Volvo V60 might not be as exciting as last-week's 911 GT3, Chris and Charlie were still happy to spend plenty of time talking about how great it was. They also had the Chevy Traverse, which was less exciting but still better than they expected. Even though it didn't have the "hit the road" package. This week is a bit more dry as they're only driving a Mazda CX-9 Carbon Edition. However, Chris gets to drive the new Kia Niro this week, and Charlie gets to drive his Escape Hybrid. So everyone is happy. Enjoy!

Ep. 39 | DM Podcast

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 00:42:38 +0000

It's Detroit auto show wrap up week! Spoiler alert, Chris and Charlie sat in a Chevy Equinox! Ooooo. That's okay though, because last week had two stellar cars, the Porsche 911 GT3 and the Mazda CX-5 Signature. Two very different methods of transportation but both very good at their missions. After waxing poetic over the GT3, Chris and Charlie turn their sights on this week's cars, a 2023 Chevrolet Traverse High Country and a 2023 Volvo V60 Cross Country B5. Stay tuned for which one they'd have (it's the Volvo). Enjoy!

Ep. 38 | DM Podcast

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 20:26:08 +0000

Tune in as Charlie and Chris fight aging by downloading a new social media app. Oh, and if you're into cars, you can listen to their thoughts on the 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Infiniti Q60. And if you're really into cars, you can listen to them bumble around on Copart. Enjoy!

Ep. 37 | DM Podcast

Tue, 06 Sep 2022 19:22:57 +0000

Vacations are great, but not when they mess up the podcast scheduling! Today's episode consists of Charlie and Chris trying to find nice things to say about the BMW X3 M Competition and trying to find mean things to say about the Hyundai Kona N. They also had the Ford Mustang Mach 1, which had good and bad elements. This week is exciting because they're driving the new Ford Bronco Raptor and the Hyundai Ioniq 5! Oh, and the Infiniti Q60. Enjoy!

Ep. 36 | DM Podcast

Mon, 29 Aug 2022 22:04:26 +0000

In today's chaotic episode, Chris and Charlie try to tell you about their week with the BMW i4 eDrive40, Ford F-150 Lightning, and Audi RS3 while navigating a food drop and a bloody noise. Also, they come up with a brilliant idea for Harley Davidson and Ford, and Chris has a keen prediction for Stellantis cars. Next week they drive the Ford Mustang Mach 1, BMW X3 M Competition, and Hyundai Kona N. Enjoy!

Ep. 35 | DM Podcast

Mon, 22 Aug 2022 19:42:18 +0000

If Kellogg's lawyers want to tussle, we'll tussle. Also, Chris and Charlie discovered that any podcast episode reviewing a Porsche ends up being half filled with Porsche talk. Not that there's anything wrong with that. We also managed to recap our time with the Toyota GR86 and Nissan Rogue, which ended up being very good. This week we have our hands full with the Ford F-150 Lightning, Audi RS3, and BMW i4 eDrive40! Enjoy!

Ep. 34 | DM Podcast

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 21:34:08 +0000

This week! Chris did a ride along in the Rivian R1T, but considering he wasn't able to go more than 35 mph, he doesn't have too much to report. We were supposed to spend a week with the (now discontinued) Infiniti Q60, but due to misalignment, we kept the Bolt EUV for an extra week. And the Lexus UX was a car...that we had...and will probably forget before long. This week will be much more interesting because we have a Porsche coming, and Porsches are always great. Also a Nissan Rogue and a Toyota GR86. Fun cars!

Ep. 33 | DM Podcast

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 21:37:03 +0000

This week at DM HQ, Charlie got to drive a plethora of exciting Honda products including the all-new 2023 CR-V! Although he can't yet talk about how that one drives. He also enjoyed his time in the Chevy Bolt EUV, as did Alissa. Chris spent most of his week in the Mazda CX-30, which is still a very pleasant place in which to spend time. Only one Copart car this week, and of course, it's from Flint.

Ep. 32 | DM Podcast

Mon, 01 Aug 2022 22:05:50 +0000

Good news! We ate before this episode, and the cars we drove last week aren't boring! In fact, we had a whole lot to recap: BMW 330i, Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro, Porsche Taycan, BMW M Roadster, Nissan Figaro, Land Rover Santana, and Porsche Cayman GT4. We had a great time recapping cars for you, and we look forward to bringing you another energy-filled podcast next week! Hooray carbs!

Ep. 31 | DM Podcast

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 19:27:37 +0000

This episode really ought to be named "Chris and Charlie Forgot to Eat." It doesn't help that they just got done driving a Cadillac XT4, which was not bad, just boring. The Lexus IS 350 was better, especially since we have a BMW 330i in office now to compare. But since Charlie didn't buy the Aztek from last week's episode, they only have a Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro to look forward to.

Ep. 30 | DM Podcast

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 04:18:27 +0000

Episode 30! Pretty standard one here, folks. We drove some cars, we're gonna drive a few more, and we're tempted to buy others. This week we go over our time with the Audi Q3 and the BMW iX M60. Both were good but in very different ways. This next week we welcome the Cadillac XT4 and the Lexus IS 350 to DM HQ. Should make for some interested videos, and maybe a boring one or two. Oh, and Charlie is tempted to buy a Pontiac Aztek.

Ep. 29 | DM Podcast

Mon, 11 Jul 2022 21:50:34 +0000

Ahh yes, finally back to a normal episode of talking about boring cars and how good or not good they are. This week, we had the pleasure of spending time in the 2022 Chevy Silverado High Country with the refreshed interior. And we'd both pick it over an F-150. We also had a VW Passat, and while it's good, it's also dead, so it doesn't matter. This week, we're getting a BMW iX M60 which should be fantastic as well as an Audi Q3 which is okay. And we're picking up a Polaris Slingshot which should be...interesting. Enjoy!

Ep. 28 | DM Podcast

Charlie made it home safely from his honeymoon! However, Alissa's luggage did not. Aside from oogling at the wonderful wagons and mini cars that Europeans get, Charlie and Alissa also rented a Honda CB500F motorcycle to ride through the Swiss Alps. During that memorable life experience, Chris drove a 2023 Mazda CX-50, which was pleasant. This week we get to drive a very rare VW Passat and a very expensive Chevy Silverado High Country. At least it has the refreshed interior.

Charlie and Alissa are heading out on their honeymoon this week, so Charlie is unavailable to record an episode. Rather than have Chris ramble about old Mercedes-Benzes for an hour, we decided to release our first ever episode. It was rough and raw back in the DM dark ages, but have a sense of humor and enjoy the musings of Max and Charlie. We'll be back with press cars and Copart next week.

In one of the tightest episodes yet of the Daily Motor Podcast, Chris and Charlie start by talking about the Rolls-Royce Cullinan and end talking about a Ford Festiva. Something...something didn't go right. But we also fit in a lengthy segment on why you should all consider buying a Volvo after breaking two tires on our Volvo S90 press loaner. And the Mercedes-Benz S500 is still one of Charlie's favorite cars, even if he'd rather have the previous gen. Or a 2008 Audi A8.

In a much less boring episode of the DM Podcast, Chris and Charlie recap their trip around the state of Michigan in a Lexus LC 500, BMW M4, Jaguar F-Type R, and Mini JCW—all convertibles. Despite merits from all the cars, the LC 500 was still the one they'd take home. Hypothesis confirmed. No Copart segment today, but if you have any questions, send them in and we'll answer them next week!

In the most boring episode of The Daily Motor Podcast yet, Charlie and Chris manage to spend half an hour talking about their beater shitboxes and have to squeeze the awesome new cars they drove into the second half. Cars such as the Volvo XC60 T8 Polestar Engineered Extended Range, Toyota Sequoia, and Honda Civic hatch manual. Oh, and Charlie learns about Buc-ee's.

What a week! Chris and Charlie have so many cool cars here at DM HQ, and we drove even more cool cars at the Midwest Automotive Media Association Spring Rally in Elkhart Lake, WI! We got track time in the Cadillac CT5 V Blackwing and Hyundai Veloster N as well as plenty of drive time in the Infiniti QX60. We do have a Miata, but it hasn't gotten much love among the other sporty cars. Sad. Next week we have a Volvo XC60 T8. Oooooooo. Enjoy!

Ep. 22 | DM Podcast

Mon, 23 May 2022 21:02:49 +0000

The Daily Motor Podcast returns with many cars to discuss! Outside of our normal review weeks with the Ford Mustang Mach E GT, Volvo XC40, BMW M4 xDrive, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Infiniti QX60, we also detail the cars being featured in the first ever DM Rally! (Hopefully) Five cars, five drivers, and one goal to find the best convertible GT road trip car. Minimal Copart activity today because we've been too busy and too broke to look for beater cars.

After a week away, Chris and Charlie are back at it again, and they've got a lot to catch up on! Between a bunch of cars, sickness, and injuries, these two will be lucky if they make it to 2023. This episode, we recapped our time with the Lincoln Navigator, Jeep Compass, BMW i4, Lexus GX 460, Kia EV6, and Hyundai Veloster N. This week is more calm with a BMW M4 Competition xDrive and a Volvo XC40 T5. Oh, and Charlie is making progress on his Copart Escape hybrid. Enjoy!

Charlie is out of town this week, and rather than make Chris talk at you for an hour straight, we decided to pull from the archives! This is the second episode Charlie ever recorded for the Daily Motor Podcast. He has Max as his co-host, and Max had just submitted his order for a brand-new Ram 1500 TRX! Enjoy some good ol' car talk, and we'll be back next week with your regular programming.

Ep. 19 | DM Podcast

Mon, 02 May 2022 22:40:57 +0000

We've got a whole lot to cover in this week's episode! The Mazda 3 Hatch Turbo, Land Rover Defender 90 V-8, and the new Kia Sportage were all under our butts last week. This week, we get time in the facelifted Lincoln Navigator and Jeep Compass, the not-facelifted Lexus GX 460, and the face-huge BMW i4 M50i. And we are wearing masks, because Chris thinks it helps his jawline.

Ep. 18 | DM Podcast

Mon, 25 Apr 2022 23:15:27 +0000

A special Sunday-night edition of the Daily Motor Podcast! So special that Chris and Charlie cracked a few cold ones during the recording. Cold La Croixs, that is. But don't worry, they still had enough discipline to talk about their time with the BMW X3 M40i and the Acura RDX. But boy are they ready for a break of compact luxury crossovers. Luckily, this week brings the Mazda 3 Turbo hatchback, the Land Rover Defender V-8, and a special trip to Palm Springs to drive the all-new Kia Sportage. Enjoy!

What an eventful week here at Daily Motor! On top of evaluating the Kia Forte GT and Lexus NX 350h, we also drove a Tesla Model X and purchased a 2008 Ford Escape hybrid! The Kia and Lexus were great; the Tesla, not so much. This week we're driving a BMW X3 M40i and an Acura RDX. Stay tuned to find out if we turn into BMW douchebags.

In this episode, we trade one Nathan for one Chris, and in result get less Stellantis hate and more Copart listings. Tune in to hear about our time with the Kia Sorento X-Line, Audi A3, and Land Rover Discovery. This week at DM HQ we have a white Nissan Kicks and a white Genesis GV70 3.5T. Very white week. Enjoy!

Mon, 28 Mar 2022 20:10:22 +0000

In today's episode, we talk way too much about minivans while recapping our time with the 2022 Toyota Sienna. Looking into next week, we have some luxury cars at DM HQ in the form of the 2022 Audi A3 and the 2021 Land Rover Discovery. Ooooo, so fancy. Chris is still missed, Charlie is still pissed, and Nathan takes a piss.

Ep. 13 | DM Podcast

Mon, 21 Mar 2022 21:12:07 +0000

In sad news, Chris isn't with us this week. He was driving a Stellantis vehicle when it decided to become on fire. He will be dearly missed. Fortunately, Nathan and Charlie are still here to tell you about the excellent Volvo XC40 Recharge and Jeep Grand Cherokee L! This week, we're getting another excellent vehicle, the Toyota Sienna. Oh, and Charlie looks for more LeSabres on Copart.

Ep. 12 | DM Podcast

Mon, 14 Mar 2022 20:53:55 +0000

In a more tame episode of the DM Podcast, we discuss how the Hyundai Tucson can be a good car but a bad EV. We also talk about our time with the BMW 230i and preview the Volvo XC40 Recharge and the Jeep Grand Cherokee L.

Ep. 11 | DM Podcast

Mon, 07 Mar 2022 21:48:59 +0000

The Daily Motor Podcast continues to get darker, this time wishing death upon anyone who doesn't flush a public toilet. We also talk about our time in the GMC Sierra 2500 HD and the Toyota Venza. This week we're driving the BMW 230i and Hyundai Tucson PHEV, two cars we're very excited to drive. And there are bad decisions to be found on Copart.

Ep. 10 | DM Podcast

Mon, 28 Feb 2022 22:39:43 +0000

In this week's episode, the boys turn their attention away from death and toward the stage before death: Toyota Venza drivers. We also recap our time with the Kia K5 and Hyundai Palisade as well as the all-new GMC Hummer EV Pickup truck. And we wrap by spending too much time on Copart. Enjoy!

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 23:00:00 +0000

From $65,000 GMC Sierras to $500 Buick LeSabres, this episode of the Daily Motor podcast has it all! Unfortunately, Stellantis did get teased again. We report on our time with the 2022 Kia Stinger and Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro, and we look forward to our time in a GMC Sierra AT4 diesel and Jetta GLI! Also, Nathan and Charlie drove cross country in a Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-road.

Ep. 7 | DM Podcast

Mon, 07 Feb 2022 22:21:47 +0000

We had a week of good cars! The Lexus ES and BMW M240i left us very little to complain about. And the Kia Stinger GT that we're getting this week should also be very good. But the Toyota 4Runner has its work cut out to woo Chris. And Nathan gets angry at Ford. And we didn't make fun of Stellantis this time.

Ep. 6 | DM Podcast

We drove a lot of stuff this week, and this time all the cars started properly! Charlie drove a Lexus UX in Florida, and we had a VW Golf R and a Kia Sorento PHEV in the shop. This one is hot! Although, not as hot as on-fire Stellantis vehicles.
