Summary

For Topic Tuesday, the guys discuss the rebirth of the GMC HUMMER EV with Rich Scheer, Director of GM’s Performance Studio and Chevrolet Car Exterior Design. While hearing about the inspiration and features the design team wanted, they discover how quickly the HUMMER came to market. Social media questions ask if there’s good reason to create a manual transmission for EVs, do the guys miss compression braking, and are modern car designs too fussy now? Seasons 1-10 are available on Amazon Prime and Vimeo worldwide, and Season 10 airs on the Motor Trend cable channel from January 1 – March 26, 2022!
