Summary

A new brand is coming to America, and BMW is reconciling with its new design language? The guys discuss new models and debate for David C. in South Lake Tahoe, who feels like he’s using a wrench as a hammer. Then, Nick and Crystal in Denver are avid outdoors people, but want something fun. Social media questions ask if there’s a place for a commuter 2-door BEV coupe, why hasn’t GM built a credible Raptor competitor, and was Toyota right all along?
