Some drivers start out loving speed and sharp handling, while others prefer comfort and luxury from the beginning. But over time, priorities can shift—maybe the thrill of sporty driving fades, and features like a smooth ride, quiet cabin, or high-end interior become more appealing.

Have your preferences changed over the years? Did you go from sport to soft, or maybe the other way around? What pushed that change—age, lifestyle, commuting, or just evolving taste?

Just a few years ago, the North American market had five brands to choose from in the compact commercial van segment… Chevrolet with their City Express, Mercedes-Benz and their Metris, RAMs Promaster city, Nissan with the NV200 and Ford with their transit connect.

In 2018 my workplace replaced the majority of their fleet with the Promaster city and were now beginning the process of looking for replacements for them…however none of these compact commercial vans are available anymore.

This segment was great for multiple reasons. These vans could get decent fuel economy while carrying tools and equipment plus ladders on top.

Ford and Chevrolet have forced customers to either their larger offerings like the transit 150 or express (long live the express) or their newer smaller trucks like the Maverick or Colorado. Nissan, Ram and Mercedes only offer their larger vans.

While I don’t hate the idea of a pickup, it just feels unnecessary for most of the work we do, and the larger vans are sometimes just unnecessarily large for the work we do and tools we carry.

Are there any other vehicles on the market close to this segment? The Kia carnival comes close but it’s designed as a passenger van first, has a larger engine and less cargo space. Van offerings from Honda, Toyota and even Chrysler are just too expensive.

I love watching the Motorweek retro reviews and these video marathons are great to see how the full episodes were originally aired!

This docuseries is the culmination of two years of interviews, research, and footage. There will be 6 half-hour episodes dropped every week. The first one is streaming now.

If you're at all interested in the last, major independent American automaker, this is worth a watch. People love to poke fun at AMC for cars like the Gremlin and Pacer, but the truth is, they were surprisingly successful in inventing an entirely new market segment (AMC Eagle, the first crossover, and American!). Owners appreciated the value, and AMC nailed it with their 4WD cars and wagons.

If you've got no lunch plans, make this your Friday lunchtime break for the next couple of weeks =)

Jason takes a deep dive into why so many GM 6.2L V8 (L87) engines are failing, what the actual root causes are, and why a simple oil change is being offered as a fix in some cases. The friction coefficient, hersey number chart is particularly interesting.

The 2025 BMW X3 M50 ($75,900 CAD, $64,700 USD starting), the 2025 Audi SQ5 ($78,700 CAD, $64,800 USD starting) and the 2025 AMG GLC 43 ($82,500 CAD, $72,900 USD starting) have lined up for a drag race. Both the X3 M50 and the SQ5 are all-new for this year, with the Audi packing a bigger punch than before and rocking a brand new platform. The BMW has seen a major styling makeover inside and out and has updated some fun bits like the powertrain. And the AMG may have the smallest engine with just 4 cylinders, but it has the most horsepower at a whopping 416. Who do you think will win? Thomas and James are excited to find out!

So many vehicles I see for sale only include one key fob. It's my understanding most vehicles come new with two. So what happens to the second one? Are they filling junk drawers everywhere? Are dealers selling them? Where do they go?

It does seem weird to include a V8 Lexus LC in a video about plug-in hybrids... Thoughts?

Just curious—what do you drive daily, and how much horsepower do you think is the sweet spot for daily use?

How does this affect your decision to purchase a new vehicle? The bill will (if passed) also add a $250 annual fee for EVs.
