PODCAST: JDM CLASSICS THAT NEED TO RETURN - TOOLS IN THE SHED EP. 141

EV Channels Review

This episode of 'Tools in the Shed' delves into the exciting prospect of a JDM sports car renaissance, with the hosts passionately discussing which iconic models deserve a comeback. While the discussion touches on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Toyota Celica, Mazda RX-7/RX-8, and Mitsubishi 3000 GT, the core of the review focuses on vehicles currently in the garage. Crafty expresses reservations about the LDV T60 Trailrider 2's pricing despite its improved cabin and off-road capability. Tung finds the new Nissan Juke ST stylistically improved and its 1.0-liter turbo engine competent, but criticizes the dual-clutch transmission's low-speed behavior. James praises the BMW Z4 M40i's exhilarating performance and handling but notes its high six-figure price and ingress/egress challenges, questioning its value against the Supra. The 'MuskWatch' segment highlights Elon Musk's bold claims about Tesla's Level 5 autonomy and his eccentric marketing tactics, including the sale of 'short shorts'.
