Monday May 08, 2023
Monday May 08, 2023
What's better than an (almost) free truck? Our guest host Warren had that experience with his truck and he's here to tell us all about it. Along the way, we'll argue over which generation was best, pulling the space shuttle, and how to reach 1 million miles. Also, Steve bought a new car...

#103 Steve’s next car? Option 3: The New Defender
Monday May 01, 2023
Monday May 01, 2023
Steve still hasn't chosen his next car, despite so many great suggestions from Adam to just get a Honda Odyssey and be done with life. No, despite the logical choice before him, he continues to search for a new ride for his Great Dane. And he might be buying this car in the next 24 hours! So naturally, Adam is going to try to talk him out of it.

#102 Steve’s next car? Option 2: The Land Rover LR4
Monday Apr 24, 2023
Monday Apr 24, 2023
Beyond the MINI Clubman, Steve is also looking into buying a Land Rover LR4 for his dog to destroy. A very different car for sure, but somehow more Steve in it's British-ness, luxury, and excessive weight. And of course Adam is here to tell him all the ways he is choosing wrong.

#101 Steve’s next car? The MINI Clubman
Monday Apr 17, 2023
Monday Apr 17, 2023
The MINI Clubman is the oddball in the MINI lineup, and Steve is the meatball of the Best in Class partnership - so it's a match made in heaven. Steve is on the hunt for a new dog car, and the Clubman is looking like the answer. Predictably, Adam is here to tell him all the ways in which he is wrong...

#100th Episode Special on the Ford Model T
Monday Apr 10, 2023
Monday Apr 10, 2023
We made it to 100 episodes! I'm not sure how, why, or even where, but 100 have been recorded and broadcast (well 101 if you count the accidental re-record of Panamera...), so what better time to cover the car that started it all - the Ford Model T. Plus Steve tells us about his ancestral homelands.

#99 The spaghetti schnitzel Lamborghini Urus
Monday Apr 03, 2023
Monday Apr 03, 2023
The current music video and tiktok selfie king is the Lamborghini Urus - first of the super SUVs. It's brakes are bigger than most cars' wheels, it's as fast as a sports car, and uglier than burnt Picasso. But is it any good at being an SUV? What about being a Lamborghini? And will Steve shove his dog in the back of one as his new car? That's this week on Best in Class.

#98 The box appeal Fiat Panda
Wednesday Mar 22, 2023
Wednesday Mar 22, 2023
The Fiat Panda is the Italian poster child for "cheap and cheerful." Known to be aggressively simple to manufacture, run, and maintain, it is as much the car of Italy as the 500. But is it any good? And will Steve's dog fit in the back? We get into all that and more this week, without somehow talking about the Porsche Panamera again...

#98 The pretty ugly Porsche Panamera (oops accidental repeat)
Monday Mar 13, 2023
Monday Mar 13, 2023
The Porsche Panamera just might be the first four door sports car. Not sported-up sedan or sporty saloon, but actual sports car. Purpose built from the ground up to carry four passengers with inhumane speed around corners. So why did it take Porsche so long to come out with it? Which one is the best? And can we get Steve to trade his Ferrari for one?

#97 The artistically fast BMW race cars (with special guest Ezra)
Monday Mar 06, 2023
Monday Mar 06, 2023
Steve doesn't believe Adam is any good at being a racing driver, so he's brought in an experienced BMW racer to teach Adam a thing or two, and to discuss which BMW race car was the best of all time. For some reason, Steve is allowed to have an opinion on this, despite never having been to a race track.

Monday Feb 27, 2023
The VW Thing just might be the weirdest mass-market car ever attempted. Decidedly unattractive - anti-aethestic even - with no creature comforts, and a price the well exceeded the normal Bug. They never caught on, but now they are classics because of their quirks. But are they actually any good? Steve is gone today, so Adam has enlisted VW expert Reed to help sort through the history of the Thing and decide which one is Best in Class.
