In this episode, the gang delves into Volkswagen's premature unveiling of electric SUVs under the Scout brand, drawing comparisons to Rivian. They critique the industry's habit of hyping up cars years before release, advocating for a surprise launch approach. The Kia Tasmin pickup truck, though not destined for the US, sparks discussions about its potential appeal with a TRD badge. Tyler Hoover's daring acquisition of a Bugatti Veyron, plagued with pre-delivery issues, sets the stage for an impending financial rollercoaster due to the car's exorbitant maintenance costs.
Transitioning to the realm of Porsche, the team explores the announcement of the Porsche 911 Carrera T, a stripped-down version tailored for enthusiasts with a manual transmission. This move is lauded for its dedication to traditional gasoline engines, defying the industry's electric trend. The Porsche's walnut shift knob adds a touch of nostalgia, reminiscent of classic models like the 917. The decision to offer the Carrera T exclusively with a manual gearbox solidifies its status as a driver's car, shunning any form of compromise for the purists.
Overall, the episode encapsulates the essence of automotive enthusiasm, from scrutinizing industry practices to celebrating bold choices in car ownership. Volkswagen's Scout brand misstep serves as a cautionary tale, while Tyler Hoover's Veyron saga promises a thrilling ride ahead. The Porsche 911 Carrera T emerges as a beacon of hope for manual transmission aficionados, signaling a defiant stance against the tide of electric vehicles.
