In this episode, Doug DeMuro delves into the latest automotive news, starting with leaks about the upcoming M2CS, BMW's high-performance marvel. Rumored to pack a whopping 512 horsepower, this beast is set to shake up the M2 lineup, positioned below the M4 CSL but above the M4 competition. However, the shocking revelation that the M2CS won't offer a manual transmission option raises eyebrows, especially for a car aimed at driving enthusiasts. Despite the lack of official confirmation, anticipation is high for the M2CS's release next summer, promising an exhilarating driving experience.

Shifting gears, Mazda's decision to introduce a monthly subscription for the once-free remote start feature has sparked controversy among car aficionados. While some may find the nominal fee reasonable for the convenience it offers, others lament the shift towards subscription-based services in the automotive industry. Meanwhile, Dodge's electrification efforts take center stage with the pricing announcement for the electric Charger, set to debut at just under $60,000. The unique naming conventions for its powertrain options, including the intriguing "direct connection stage one and two," add a touch of flair to this electrifying muscle car.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Ram 1500 Classic bids farewell after a remarkable 15-year production run, marking the end of an era for the iconic Hemi V8 Ram. Despite the interior upgrades over the years, the classic design of the Ram trucks has remained relatively unchanged, prompting reflections on the evolution of pickup truck aesthetics. As Doug DeMuro navigates through these diverse automotive stories, the future of performance cars, subscription-based features, and the electrification of iconic models paints a dynamic picture of the ever-evolving automotive landscape.
