#120 The purposefully eccentric Bristol
Monday Sep 11, 2023
Monday Sep 11, 2023
Bristol was a car company for 75 years but sold fewer cars than the number of shirts you probably own. They were also universally lauded as excellent vehicles. But also terribly ugly. Were they actually any good, are they worth anything now, and is Steve's Land Rover already broken?

#119 The big bottomed Porsche 928 (with special guest Warren)
Monday Sep 04, 2023
Monday Sep 04, 2023
The Porsche 928 was supposed to launch a new era for Porsche, instead it merely launched in-car phones and psychedelic interiors. Planned to replace the 911, this large rear end of a car merely faded away instead. Are there any good ones to be had, and can we get Warren out of his Ferrari for one? All this more and on this week's Best in Class.

Monday Aug 14, 2023

The Saturn brand was meant to reinvent car buying and manufacturing, but instead it lasted only 25 years and it's parent company GM went bankrupt. How did Saturn start? Were they any good? And what convinced Adam's family to buy one in 1996? All that and more on this week's Best in Class.

The 7-series is BMW's flagship that previews the design, features, and technology that will not only trickle down to the rest of the brand, but to the entire car world as well. These cars are packed with the latest bells and whistles, and as such are sold only to the titans of industry. But are they any good? And will Steve ever be able to afford one?

First of all, sorry about that title. It had to be done.
But seriously, what Canadian car companies do you know about? Did you know they used to be the second-largest manufacturer of cars in the world? Did you know there were 11 different Canadian car companies at one time? And did you know that Steve just got back from Canada? Hence why we're talking about it this week...

Monday Jul 10, 2023

Mansory is a (in)famous car tuner out of Germany that likes to take some the best and most luxurious cars in the world, and slap on garish bumpers, absurd wings, and downright ugly leather. Bought exclusively by people with more money than taste, there is not such thing as a Best in Class Mansory. But is there a worst?

#111 The uber bro bratwurst AMG GT (with special guest Warren)
Monday Jul 03, 2023
Monday Jul 03, 2023
Mercedes is known for producing luxurious and comfortable cars, and strangely also the AMG GT - a no-nonsense sports car that can turn any driver into a hero. Mercedes rarely makes sports cars, so we of course had to cover this ride AND bring in some expert advice. Friend of the show Warren had the opportunity to drive all the versions of the car recently, so he helps us figure out which one was the best.
