Show Notes
Has the Unnamed Automotive Podcast really never reviewed a Volkswagen Jetta? That's situation has been resolved, and Benjamin has a full and thorough test of the German compact car, as Sami asks him tons of questions. What makes the Jetta a worthy pick over other small sedans? And how does it compare to hybrid options out there? Benjamin has plenty answers as we review this sedan for the first time ever.
Then Sami checks out the 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor, an off road variant of the three-row crossover that replaces the old Timberline trim. Packed with a 3.0L turbocharged engine, the Ford Explorer has plenty of cool features and equipment, but Sami was really caught off guard by the hands-free driving tech. Thanks for listening!

Class is back in session as the Unnamed Automotive Podcast tackles the BMW Neue Klasse, the platform that underpins the 2027 iX3 that Benjamin is reviewing this week. This electric SUV (well, maybe more like a wagon) is designed to optimize it's EV powertrain, and Benjamin has a lot to say about the new iX3's performance and interior. Of course using an all-new platform means the car features an equally fresh infotainment system, and that's where the majority of this week's discussion takes place. What is a gimmick? What is safe? Why are screens and information so far away?
Are compact coupes making a comeback? Sami and Benjamin discuss the 2026 Honda Prelude this week. Featuring a hybrid powertrain, sporty suspension and just two doors, the Prelude doesn't seem to fit into any previously known market segments, but that didn't stop Honda from making it anyways! The guys talk about the major flaws with the Prelude, and whether it's worth the relatively high asking price.
First the show starts with Sami (and his in-laws) review of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid. Loaded with impressive (and sometimes gimmicky) technology, the Santa Fe is popular with Sami's out of town guests. But is it a true three-row vehicle, and is it useful for new parents?
First up, he dons his racing monocle to test out the new Lamborghini Temerario, the replacement for the long-running and much loved Huracan. Put through its paces on the track, Benjamin details the whole 907 hp experience to you and explains what makes this supercar something unexpected in a world of hybrids.
