#26 - Next Car and King Lexus

This week Pete has a conversation with his wife about their next car. She wants to replace her nine year old subaru outback with... a new subaru outback. Rob will not stand for this injustice. What vehicle should Pete buy instead for 26 to 35 thousand that is roughly three years old? Send us an email [email protected].  Last week we gushed over the new Porsche GT3.  This week an article came out analyzing the manual transmission take rate of the previous generation.  After that we talk about JD Power’s 2018 dependability index.  Several surprises on that list and next Lexus reveals their all new IS 500 F. Rob somehow finds something not to like about the Lexus reveal. Last and almost certainly not least, Porsche is going to do everything they can to save the internal combustion engine.  They are developing a synthetic gasoline that will work in every car and burns just as clean as EV engines do. There’s hope yet everyone.  www.joyridepod.com
