On the latest episode of "The Inevitable" by MotorTrend Channel, Johnny Lieberman and Ed Loh dive headfirst into the tumultuous world of automotive innovation. They lament the lack of listener questions, urging fans to step up and engage for a chance to snag some swanky merchandise. The duo then sets their sights on the Kia EV9, a vehicle that missed its shot at glory due to some peculiar road test limitations. Comparing it to the Rivian R1S, they dissect its self-leveling rear suspension and the quirky handling issues that plague this electric marvel.

The debate takes a spicy turn as they delve into the eternal struggle between physical buttons and touchscreen controls in modern cars. Safety concerns clash with accessibility, leaving our hosts in a whirlwind of opinions. The EV9's design and functionality come under intense scrutiny, with its allure questioned against the backdrop of a fiercely competitive market.

In a thrilling twist, returning guest Daniel Woo regales the audience with tales of his recent racing escapades at the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge in Daytona. Against all odds, he steered his way to a commendable fifth-place finish, showcasing grit and determination in the face of adversity. The spotlight then shifts to China, where Woo sheds light on the burgeoning automotive scene and his involvement in prestigious car shows like the GT Show in Shanghai. Amidst the roar of engines and the glitz of the industry, "The Inevitable" continues to unravel the mysteries of the ever-evolving world of automobiles, leaving fans on the edge of their seats for what lies ahead.
