JDM LEGENDS RETURN? HUGE STI & CELICA NEWS! IS DOUG FINALLY BUYING A NEW CAR! THIS CAR POD! EP63

EV Channels Review

This episode of 'This Car Pod' delves into exciting automotive news, including the reboot of 'The Grand Tour' with new hosts, potential new models for the Toyota Celica and Subaru WRX STI, and a discussion on California's emissions regulations. The hosts express enthusiasm for the Throttle House duo joining 'The Grand Tour' but are uncertain about the third host. The potential return of the Celica is met with surprise given the current sports car market, while the prospect of a new STI, possibly in a wagon (Levorg) or lifted CrossTrek-based format, generates significant excitement. The podcast also touches on the controversial Dodge Charger EV acceleration issue, dismissing it as a non-issue, and debates California's ability to set its own emissions standards. A significant portion is dedicated to the 5th anniversary of Cars & Bids and the hosts' personal car situations, particularly Doug's desire for a new Massachusetts license plate, which may force him to acquire a new vehicle. The market report highlights strong results for the Acura NSX (automatic) and a Mercedes-AMG C63 Black Series.
