Hybrid Porsche 911, New Ferrari, Doug’s Trip, Wild Auction Cancelled and MORE! THIS CAR POD! EP12

[@marshallney3885]

I had no idea I wanted a car podcast until Doug made one. Now I look forward to this every Friday.

[@blackrippin]

Smoking tire pod is cool as well.

[@tylerbecker3348]

Yeah, Smoking Tire (Tues/Thurs) and Carmudgeon (every Monday) are both great

[@artsohc]

Yeah, Carmudgeon is great too. Smoking tire is very hit and miss.

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

​@@tylerbecker3348I only have so much time for podcasts and KZbin videos as it is... There's becoming more and more quality content and I've got less and less time. There's very few channels which I never miss an upload from now and as time goes on that's spreading even thinner. I say that because TST boys were talking at length about why their view counts have fallen off a cliff in the last podcast and the biggest reason for me is their content quality next to the others now and how much time they waste on air wondering why people aren't watching as much. If they suck an hour of my week up with a video I'm not super interested in and the waffling on during the podcast, then I have to decide where that hour's getting spent and sadly they're dropping further and further down the list. I bring that up because I think TST is doomed, which sucks because I've been a fan for a long time. This podcast has taken the time allocation priority over them now, for me at least.

[@marshallney3885]

@@artsohcIn my humble opinion I just don’t like listening to Matt talk.

[@Devil_Dog_Ultra]

Doug I work for BMW AG. I invited you to the Museum in Greenville SC years ago. I can promise you this the 5 series room is for the tourists. We have a warehouse and a basement of cars that would blow your mind and technically a handful that "dont exist" .

[@JoePug249]

Out of curiosity, on my next trip to Greenville... could something be arranged? LOL Fun fact for you: I actually work for the flag company that supplies a lot of the BMW plants and training centers around the country with their US, state, and Bavarian flags. We also did the flagpoles at the corporate office in Woodcliff Lake, NJ a few years ago

[@reid7072]

Why don't you display the cool stuff!?

[@tophand576]

It took Kennan less than 1:30 to mention "manual transmission"

[@JadPker]

1:09:53 - Doug let the intrusive thoughts win

[@hunterdavis1712]

28:35 may have been even better!

Filippo is concerned about safety in an old Mercedes but drives a Fiat.

[@DSG-farts-connoisseur]

that guy has zero idea about cars but presents his cringe opinions like they're based

[@pmac5478]

these guys have been saying that it’s the end of the line for cool NA driver’s cars for so long that they’re actually disappointed that ferrari dropped a new 12😂

[@Carrugz]

Glad you liked the CGT doormat!

[@S-T-E-V-E]

They've been saying 'This is the last NA V12 we'll get!' since 2010!

[@stonefist]

why does the aspect ratio look squished? yall look squeezed in lol

[@El_Negro2003]

Yeah it looks like something you’d see on an old tv

[@derekschipper8721]

Looks like going to literally any family member’s house, and when pointing it out they look at you like you’re crazy

[@arizonacolour8793]

It's part of the quirks and features of this podcast. For a quirky man like Dougy

[@jeffs6090]

Right before they switch to the Cadillac story, at 13:15, it goes to normal. It was rather strange. At first, they all looked like they were on Ozempic.

[@I.LikeCars]

Haha I noticed that too, reminds me of old Bruce Lee movies, they seemed to have the same issues with aspect ratio.

[@oceanboilmao]

1:51 "It's gonna be like a car" Doug as always with the sharp analysis

[@chuck.bagels]

All you need to do is send a friendly email to BMW Classic to schedule a private tour of their collection and take a peek at the restoration workshop. You'll even get a complimentary cup of coffee and a nice keychain.

[@neoleo593]

I'll have to keep that in mind

[@jamusloos2859]

I like how Doug labeled himself "big dawg" in the intro lol

[@Benek918]

Big Dawg DeMuro

[@racekorthings7165]

Filipio rolling around in his fiat 500 talking about getting t-boned in a w124 lol

[@ljohnson314]

I was thinking the same thing

[@mercedes_nuts]

Mercedes 500E >>> Fiat 500e

[@DarthSokka]

Fillipo rocking the Ray-Ban RB7047 glasses. Man of great tastes in regards to two door crossovers from the 90s and ophthalmic hardware. Real man's man.

[@DSG-farts-connoisseur]

what

[@JoeParadowski-gx1zh]

Doug and gang, love. This pod cast, keep going forever !! I am a huge fan who as seen everyone of Doug’s car reviews and bought my vehicle on C&B.

[@PlatinumMadLad]

I could watch this podcast on an afternoon with a couple cold ones

[@verdict1163]

That W124 would likely be more comfortable in the back seat than the modern E-class.

[@carsaregood911]

Filippo is the weirdest car guy I've ever seen lol

[@RayanMADAO]

What’s so weird about him

[@derpderpderpityderp8848]

Doug, I'm disappointed that you visited the LEAST of the manufacturer museums in Germany. You could have gone to Stuttgart, Ingolstadt or Neckarsulm for Mercedes, Porsche or Audi. You could have gone to Wolfsburg for the entire Volkswagen group AND factory tour. But instead you went to Munich for BMW?

[@iosgaming2824]

You got a huge point tbh. I think Porsche would’ve only been moderately better decision and debatably Audi would’ve been as a bad of a deicison as bmw

[@jordanpruitt7217]

I work at a Honda dealership, we have 5 Prologues and have had them for about a month. We have had 1 person interested in trading up from her Lincoln Navigator. Deal didn't go through..... We still have 5 Prologues.

[@mrbruh3541]

Kinda insane how y’all were able to pre-record the last few episodes, props to Doug, Kennan, Filippo and the rest of the team!

[@ericbeauchea8526]

I agree that riding in a W124 taxi would be the most memorable part of my trip. In Europe last year I look at my trip photos and it's all cars.

[@1labrinth]

Doug has the adjacent personality type of the porche collector marveling over stitching that he complains about.

[@BoopdaBeep]

We need more concept car content!! I'm with you guys on the Cadillac Cien as a halo car. It probably stood a better chance than the Sixteen, which was another gorgeous concept of the same time. I remember seeing the Cien more often in magazines and on covers, but I always felt that the Cadillac Sixteen would've been more realistic, and cooler to see go into production because it seemed to fit the ethos of what Cadillac always was from the 1920s on up. That plus it had a shiny, jawdropping V-16 under a unique hood.

[@marcel196878]

Thanks for showing the cars they are talking about now.

[@luisbarraza9709]

Why limit the pod to about an hour? If the team is rolling and having fun. Keep it going.

[@BogeyTheBear]

_(Matthew MacConaughey voice)_ "That's what I love about 911s: Every year I get older, and they stay the same..."

[@georgeanderson4239]

Truly agree with the BMW museum experience. Was just there in March and it’s basically a large advertisement. Pales in comparison to the Mercedes museum.

[@gordonstarship]

The sound has gotten much better and I like the large screen addition. Very cool keep on growing! Great podcast

[@VincentVader]

The GM 90⁰ V6 is very successful. The 90⁰ 4.3L V6 is just a 5.7 with two cylinders lopped off, same bore & stroke.

[@pira.kathir]

I have grown a strong appreciation for 1/64 models, the level of detail is quite insane (Ignition Models)

[@claudiocanavati8459]

Filippo out there representing 99% of us being sensible and rational.. gets bullied every at turn.. 😅

[@ericcarabetta1161]

I’m still waiting for Doug to review a Panoz Roadster or Esperante.

[@chartreux1532]

I'm happy to hear about Doug's Trip and that he went to our fantastic BMW Museum here in Bavaria! Glad to hear he had a good time in my Area and would genuinely love to hear more about his Trip over here and especially see more Pictures of Cars he took. Because let's be honest, there is no way Doug went over here and didn't take a million Pictures of Cars! Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

[@gremcs]

I saw a Lordstown Endurance in my outer-ring Cleveland suburb the other week and it was the one time I've seen a vehicle recently that I've been dumbfounded by a car. I wished I could've gotten a picture of it, but it was a crazy spot in my book. Interesting to know that they were supposed to be crushed. Searching "endurance pickup truck" made me totally expect a GMC trying to sound tough.

[@prashsatish7095]

I've seen two separate distinct ones up in Michigan, I'm equally shocked to find out they were supposed to be crushed

[@charlieyoung2116]

Chevrolet did something very similar and produced two of the best engines, the 5.7 350 Vortec and the 4.3 V6 Vortec. The 4.3 is a 350 with two cylinders chopped off. Not known for a lot of power but run on forever on only hopes and dreams.

Sunset in Spokane is 8:45pm and it's 80 degrees. Comment would have been on the nose in January during The Big Dark.

Doug unfazed by the new starter button in the Macan while simultaneously up in arm over the BMW turn signals.

[@JimPakeman]

In a little box hahah OPP only put you in that box if you go over 150kph. Hypothetically my viper did double that on the 401. I currently have a 95 Supra. Go get one Doug it will make you smile driving it to the store!

[@AorsVel]

I test drove the zdx type s for a couple days and not gonna lie, I was impressed. It’s very nice and I’m a fan of the exterior styling

[@ryanA133]

The dumbest name is the Carrera GT because it wasn't Carrera and it's not a grand tour

[@FLIXXE]

To the topic of old german taxis: Taxis and Rental Cars need to have TÜV Inspektion every year instand of the normal period of two years so those things have to be looked after, at least if the TÜV is done right! 😅

[@G_P_G]

I enjoyed the last question regarding what vehicle do you wish they made a performance version of. As someone who has too many dogs I wish there was a performance Minivan. A minivan with real handling improvements and hellcat/LS/coyote motor would be top of my list for next vehicle. I don't get people that get med-large crossovers, you should get the minivan since they are way more practical and no crossover is cool.

[@odortiz]

interesting thing about the z3M before 2002, is the euro cars were built in SC, with engines not legal in the US

[@Tyrael112]

Jay Leno's turbine car would be amazing to have a review of.

[@Floyd_2112]

I know it’s easy to ask being that I don’t have to supply or find it. But I’ve always been a fan of the XLR, and as a musician it would be a great car, minus gear hauling. I would love to see a review of the xlr!

[@acura2g]

Doug, I've been waiting for you to review Jay Lenos Ford Festiva Shogun. It's perfect for you

[@andycalifornia426]

On Hummer EV being super heavy: I don't know anything about it, but from what I gather, that's pretty much true to the spirit of the original Hummer. So maybe GM screwed it up as an ESUV, but they nailed it as Hummer.

[@David_Denali]

Jaguar has won 4 engine awards, I bet 1 of them were for that f-type And obviously the 3 other for all the BMW engines they use that manage to blow up even faster that when in BMW cars 45:40

[@ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic]

They should've made a Magnum Hellcat, and continued it up until today!

[@Keith.M.Westra]

@1:07:23 Alpina fills the M7 hole quite nicely (I’ve always preferred Alpina to M anyway)

The production on this podcast is incredible

[@Silesso]

I love the old car reviews and would love to see more!

[@AshleeMckay-tr1ql]

Love your style, it's like a burst of creativity in every video!

[@davidlemieux2606]

At 54:40 Doug says you'll get pulled over in Toronto (or anywhere in Ontario) for doing even just 3 km over the limit. No way!! People routinely do more than 15-20km/h over the limit on highway 401 all across the province.

[@emo3113]

LMAO!!! Doug and the mic in the last few seconds. 😂

[@rwilson4073]

Honestly a Cadillac hypercar is a more real possibility today than ever before. Cadillac has been making cars no one thought they could make in 2024. Keeping the manual and the V8 in the Blackwings, turning concept cars like the Celestiq into reality, and pushing out cars like the Lyriq with concept car styling. Additionally, they've been decently successful in IMSA and endurance racing, and are still pushing towards an F1 entry, although the Andretti partnership is causing some serious hangups. In the same interview, it was suggested that a Cadillac hypercar might not be an EV, but might instead be a hybrid setup like their GTP car. If Cadillac can take the styling of that car, or better, the powertrain, maybe sprinkling in some F1 tech or some Corvette parts, it could be a seriously great machine.

[@mp40submachinegun81]

54:50, as someone from Ontario who often travels to Switzerland, the difference is speed cameras. They are everywhere in Switzerland, hardly even exist in ontario.

[@AustinF12]

Toronto traffic laws aren't that bad! I regularly drive 15KM over the limit past police. On 400 series highways (equivalent to your Interstates) everyone drives 25KM over. If your caught going 50KM over the limit they can impound your car and suspend your license but you still own your car and you won't be sent to prison 😂

[@angelicacushing6032]

I’m from dc and I used to see the lordstown endurance all the time. It looks like if Gary Larson designed a truck.

[@ammarisrar2005]

For the last question, my answer would be a proper TRD Camry or a GR Camry, and not some V6 with a body kit, I’m talking big old V8 or a supercharged V6, I’ll take that, RWD with a 6 speed or a Honda Accord Type R with a V6 and a 6 speed, something to give the Hellcat Charger some competition (even though it’s at the end of its lifetime)

[@GermanCarGuyMN]

To Doug’s point about the Honda Passport, I have seen one within the last year, and the only reason I even noticed it was because it backed into my Dad’s F-150

[@Tmiladinov]

In the Drive Tribe channel they did an E61 M5 swap for manual. A blue one. It was an epic project.

[@StefanSC100]

If Doug was disappointed in the BMW museum in Munich, he might want to get in touch with the Tiriac Collection in Bucharest/Romania… they have what he wants… a big cave with a lot of awesome exotic cars in mint condition!

[@randyhyland847]

Another fun and strange engine fact: Lamborghini increased displacement by adding a spacer to their block to lengthen the stroke. Very strange and I can't imagine it not effecting reliability.

[@comeberza]

Filipo bidding during the podcast was epic

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

In Toronto we all speed. But 10 km over the limit you are in danger of getting a ticket and the tickets go up exponentially with the speed. At some point they impound your car and take you straight to jail, but it is at a rate where that is just good for everybody.

[@AmosDohms]

I don't know if anyone gets a ticket unless they're doing more then 20 over the limit.

[@Martin_Vachev]

Preach for the Panda 100! That thing is cool AND somewhat rare.

[@andycalifornia426]

I think there's some misinformation about Switzerland here. From what I've read, if you go over 3 kph over the speed limit, you get a fine that's higher than in other places, but you only get into real trouble if you go something like 25 kph over.

[@FW25]

BMW museum was great. Loads of F1 stuff, amazing place, inexpesnive, and they actually had an X5 LM while I was there. Really recommend it to any petrol head.

[@Rev.Match.Reviews]

I think the Cadillac Cien was used in 1 of the transformers movie, like how they used the 5th gen camaro before it came out. But the Cien never hit production.

[@TheDARTCONGBASIS]

The GM 4.3 90-degree V6 made in the late 80’s and 90’s was 3/4 (literally) of a TBI small block Chevy v8. It has almost no parts and didnt share an architecture with the famous 3.8 60-degree v6.

[@jandziergwa4980]

KZbin literally showed me a Mercedes Metris commercial before this video. Ok since I live in Germany it was the more upmarket „V-Class“, but still. Doug should have chosen this as the rental, it’s a little bit more luxurious.

[@justwideman]

The Lordstown truck has wheel motors. Should have ended up at Jay Leno's Garage or Peterson museum

What about the two versions of HRV on sale. The compact European version and the huge version in states. Aka zrv in UK

I saw an e60 m5 yesterday parked on the street. Wish the owner had been around cause I'd love to ask about the maintenance

Tried to test drive a Prologue and it was “being prepped” for 2 weeks. If I wanted to buy one it would be months before one came in.

[@MrTurboist]

Without a shadow of doubt. Every single podcast passes without Doug mentioning the CGT 😂

[@rexmundi9691]

Lol opel ampera... Yeah, it wasn't popular. Probably mainly because it was expensive and as a hybrid not very efficient. GM boasted 230 mpg at press launch... that quickly went to actually 75. When the engine turns on (always above 70mph) it runs 35 mpg. Also, it was about 10k more than a prius, that had a reliable 55mpg.

[@user-yq6ov6ow7l]

You do not want an NA v12 ferrari, you want a hybrid v12. Here’s why. Whenever an engine is designed, the entire engine is designed around making hp and being drivable. Your cam profiles, exhaust, intake, everything is a balance between low end torque and top end power. Well with a hybrid, you can basically say to the engineers….”ok guys, we have electric motors to handle the low end, so you can go nuts with the top end”

[@NSUGS]

This alone makes me excited for mild hybrid sports car in the next 10yrs. I'd be curious how noise/fuel emissions testing will go

[@edwardcunningham2701]

The answer to the question about Jay Lenos collection and the car to review, Ford Shogun.

[@magnusfjellheimkristensen3643]

E38 M7 whith a TurboedV12 or a real big displacement V12 and Manual only option

[@tacosr]

Several weeks ago, I saw a Lordstown Endurance with manufacturer plates driving around West Hollywood. I was so confused because I thought they were all gone however, here one was with manufacturer plates so I have no idea what’s going on with that company. Took some great side-by-side pics with it and my R1T. Rivian is much better looking.

[@honestyisthegucci]

I thought the BMW museum was an disappointment too. No rare cars mostly 3 series. Rarely any other series or SUV

[@cray986]

1:00:37 The van did not sell buyer backed out of the Ram B250 sale

[@Cars.On.Coffee]

13:30 Give it to Buick, it looks like a modern wildcat concept. Twin turbo V6 on ERAY chassis.

[@truthserum5310]

The Chrysler Turbine Car would be an awesome Jay Leno car for Doug to review, or the Ford SHOgun.

[@BestAnswer12549]

When me and my dad went to the New York Auto show, my dad really wanted to view the Honda prologue. I was like why?

[@rayjd1650]

I saw the GM EV1 at my school and was very excited. It's just rotting away in the back parking lot of their automotive research center, but it is was still pretty cool to see!

[@slowery43]

OMG that is so not even a little interesting in any way. This is not the "what car did Ray see today" channel

[@eduardofalcon9691]

cnc was exactly that, a warehouse full of exotic cars, they would let me and my friends took pictures with the cars and everything without them being annoying, that was the first time i saw a bugatti and a 918

Whatever happened to them? Weren't they caught for something?
