In this episode of Doug DeMuro, the team dives into the chaotic world of automotive cyber attacks, focusing on CDK, a dealership management system that fell victim to a massive breach. The fallout? Nearly a billion dollars in lost sales, with dealers resorting to archaic pen and paper methods to keep the business afloat. The implications are staggering, with around 100,000 unsold cars left hanging in the balance. The team contemplates the future of cybersecurity in the automotive industry and the trust issues that may plague CDK in the aftermath.

Shifting gears, the discussion veers towards Volvo's woes with delays and glitches in their XC30 and XC90 models, leading to a customer experience nightmare. The demise of the S60 model adds fuel to the fire, showcasing the challenges faced by automakers in a rapidly evolving market. On a brighter note, Kia steps into the hybrid minivan arena, adding a new player to the mix alongside Toyota and Chrysler. The conversation then roars to life with the introduction of the new BMW M5, boasting record-breaking power figures but raising eyebrows with its hefty weight, sparking debates on performance versus mass in the automotive realm.

As the team dissects the M5's power-to-weight ratio and the implications of its slower performance compared to its predecessor, the essence of driving pleasure versus raw power takes center stage. The BMW M5's introduction marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing power struggle among automakers, with enthusiasts eagerly awaiting real-world tests to determine if the new heavyweight champion can deliver the thrills and excitement expected from a high-performance sedan. The discussion encapsulates the essence of modern automotive engineering, where the quest for more power meets the challenge of balancing weight and performance in a world where speed reigns supreme.
