About this listen

News-round episode: Bonar and Trevor tackle a week of wild headlines across EVs, trucks, motorsport, heritage, and hacks.

What we cover

  • Acura ZDX axed: Honda kills Acura’s first modern EV in North America. Pricing, timing, and the GM Ultium tie-up—what really doomed it?
  • Hyundai’s real truck play: A body-on-frame midsize pickup (and maybe an SUV sibling) aimed squarely at Tacoma/Ranger/Colorado. Serious entry or corporate cosplay?
  • 308.4 mph EV “speed king”: A Chinese hyper-EV claims the crown over Bugatti. Spectacle, skepticism, and what top-speed arms races mean in an EV era.
  • Ford to demolish the Glass House: Goodbye to 70 years of Dearborn HQ history. Bold evolution—or shredding your family photo albums?
  • Porsche & WEC (rumour watch): Factory program chatter gets wobbly. If endurance racing is marketing, is the spend still worth it in 2025?
  • JLR ransomware shock: One cyberattack freezes production and costs a fortune. Should “cyber-resilience” be a line item on the window sticker?
  • Gearhead palate cleanser: Singer’s new wristwatch—because car culture also lives on our wrists.


Got a story we should riff on next time? Drop us a note and we’ll throw it in the ring.
