Click here to share your favorite car, car story or any automotive trivia!In this episode, Doug and Dave are getting a little grease under their nails with Matthew Valbuena, a Project Manager for Mazda's North American Operations R&D division. Matthew oversees the development of Mazda's in-vehicle technologies and human interfaces, balancing the demand for cutting-edge connectivity with Mazda's core "driving first" philosophy.Matthew takes us on an incredible automotive journey, starting with his first vehicle: a lowered 1994 Toyota Pickup complete with a $163 monthly payment and a Nintendo 64 in the glovebox. We dive into the heavy-bass nostalgia of 90s car audio, carrying around $1,500 worth of CDs in Case Logic wallets[cite: 1], and the era of Fast & Furious tuner culture.But the most fascinating part of Matthew's story is how his upbringing shapes the cars we drive today. Growing up with deaf parents, his first language was American Sign Language (ASL). He shares how this visual-first perspective perfectly suited him for a career in UI/UX design. You will learn why gesture controls are a nightmare for the deaf community, why every dashboard beep must have a visual cue, and how he used to install 1500-watt subwoofers in his dad's Benz so he could physically feel the music.Don't miss Matthew's favorite episode with Jon from Mazda USA: https://buzzsprout.com/2316026/episodes/16805989Plus, stick around for our Mazda trivia question: What surprisingly unrelated product did Mazda manufacture when it was founded in 1920?Learn more about Mazda:Explore their latest tech at www.mazdausa.comFollow @MazdaUSA on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, and YouTubeConnect with Us: Got a great car story?

It’s another hilarious Jubal Phone Prank, and this time, a routine morning takes a very unexpected turn. A woman gets a call from someone claiming to be from the dealership where she recently purchased her 2026 Mazda. At first, she’s simply confused about why her car has suddenly disappeared from her driveway. Then the caller gives her a shocking explanation—and says she may not be getting her car back anytime soon. As the conversation gets more heated, she tries to figure out what’s going on and how she can get her car back. But there’s much more to this mysterious phone call than she realizes.

Christian Schacht og Jan Lang analyserer igen i denne uge bilnyhederne i Bilradio. Et nyt bilmærke går efter danske elbilkøbere med en rummelig model til en pris, der springer i øjnene. VW ID.3 Neo har fået en ny konkurrent. Den hedder GAC Aion UT og koster over 80.000 kr. mindre. Selv udgaven med det større batteri, der er opgivet til en rækkevidde på 430 km, holder sig langt under VW’s startpris. Jan Lang hæfter sig ved prisen i ugens Bilradio. »I modsætning til flere andre kinesiske mærker ser prisen helt rigtig ud her,« siger han. Der er dog flere ting, man skal være opmærksom på ved den billige elbil. For en anden ny elbil er det ventetiden, der gør ondt. XPENG L03 har fået så mange bestillinger, at den danske importør nu forventer markant længere leveringstid. Begge biler er med, når kandidaterne til Årets Bil i Danmark 2027 samles i næste uge. Feltet spænder fra små elbiler til store familiebiler, og flere af deltagerne er allerede blandt emnerne i ugens udsendelse. I denne uge hører du også: Polestar 3 vender tilbage, og Zeekr 7 GT irriterer med sine assistentsystemer. Hyundai Ioniq 3 får kritik for pris og udstyr. Tesla runder 100.000 biler i Danmark. Skoda Peaq er prøvekørt med plads til syv. Bentleys første elbil får Porsche-teknik. Mazda 6e får nyt batteri, og MG lancerer IM5 og IM6. Nissan Pixo deler teknik med Renault Twingo.

¿Tiene los días contados el motor de combustión? Si leemos los titulares de la última década o escuchamos a las administraciones, parece que el futuro es exclusivamente eléctrico y que la gasolina pronto será una reliquia. Sin embargo, un grupo de ingenieros irreductibles desafía el pensamiento único de la industria y nos demuestra que el motor térmico está más vivo que nunca. En este vídeo analizamos a fondo la revolución de las mecánicas de combustión, con especial foco en el inminente Skyactiv-Z de Mazda. Esta marca siempre ha sido el verso suelto de la industria automotriz. Desde sus victorias con el motor rotativo Wankel hasta su rechazo a la moda del "downsizing", apostando en su lugar por el "rightsizing" con la familia Skyactiv-G, que logró relaciones de compresión inauditas. Más tarde, rompieron otra barrera histórica con el Skyactiv-X, dominando el encendido por compresión controlado por chispa, un hito termodinámico que sus rivales consideraban imposible. Ahora, el gran reto es la estricta normativa Euro 7, que exige a los motores funcionar bajo el parámetro "Lambda 1" en todo momento. Esto significa mantener una proporción estequiométrica perfecta de aire y gasolina, incluso acelerando a fondo en una pendiente. En los motores convencionales, esto causaría un sobrecalentamiento crítico y la destrucción de la mecánica. El nuevo motor Skyactiv-Z resuelve este enorme desafío generando una turbulencia de aire cíclica tan precisa que la combustión es ultrarrápida. Al quemarse el combustible tan velozmente, no da tiempo a que el inmenso calor se transfiera a las paredes del bloque, permitiendo máxima eficiencia sin sufrir estrés térmico. Pero esta resistencia no es exclusiva de Mazda. En el vídeo repasamos otras joyas de la ingeniería moderna que demuestran que el límite térmico aún está muy lejos de alcanzarse: -Koenigsegg Freevalve: La eliminación del árbol de levas mecánico a favor de un sistema neumático gestionado por inteligencia artificial para abrir y cerrar cada válvula de forma totalmente independiente. -Maserati Nettuno: Tecnología de Fórmula 1 llevada a la calle, utilizando una pequeña precámara de combustión que dispara violentos chorros de plasma para encender mezclas muy pobres de forma ultrarrápida. -Nissan VC-Turbo: Un prodigio mecánico que varía su relación de compresión físicamente y en tiempo real según las necesidades de potencia o ahorro de la conducción. Toyota Dynamic Force: Motores atmosféricos que logran superar la inalcanzable barrera del 40% de eficiencia térmica gracias a un diseño minucioso y tecnología láser. El coche eléctrico tiene un papel fundamental e innegable, especialmente en la reducción de emisiones en entornos urbanos. Sin embargo, el dogma de que las pesadas baterías son la única solución técnica válida para cualquier conductor y geografía empieza a mostrar fisuras frente a problemas de infraestructura, precios prohibitivos y el impacto ambiental de la minería de litio. Innovaciones valientes como el motor Skyactiv-Z nos recuerdan que el enemigo a batir son única y exclusivamente las emisiones contaminantes, no los pistones. Gracias a la resiliencia de la ingeniería mecánica, el control perfecto en Lambda 1 y la inminente llegada de combustibles sintéticos neutrales en carbono, el futuro de la automoción térmica sigue siendo limpio, viable y verdaderamente apasionante.

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update, we have 4 stories for you this week: a Boston police drone crashes, DJI Neo 3 leaks, Wingcopter unveils a new recon drone, and a search and rescue team in Canada uses drones to save a stranded climber. Let's get to it.First up, a Boston Police drone crashed onto a parked car just days after the department launched its new Drone as First Responder program. The crash happened last Thursday around 1:30 in the afternoon. The falling drone landed on a Mazda 3, smashing the rear windshield and trunk and destroying the aircraft. The owner wasn't home at the time, he came back to a windshield note and a wrecked car. Boston Police recently partnered with Motorola Solutions and BRINC on this program, launching it publicly on August 28th. The pitch was speed and safety, with drones reaching emergency scenes in as little as one minute, but this crash occurred less than 7 days after the program officially launched. The Boston Police Patrolmen's Association is not impressed, with Union president Larry Calderone calling the program invasive surveillance technology, and said the department should be hiring more officers instead. Under FAA Part 107, any drone accident causing more than 500 dollars in damage must be reported to the FAA within 10 days. It's also unclear if the drone was equipped with a parachute recovery system, which would have likely been required in this type of operation.Next, a leaked retail box may have just told us more about DJI's plans than DJI wanted. The box is for the DJI Neo 3, and it showed up online on September 15th. It's a beginner-friendly drone with fully enclosed propellers and a gimbal camera. The box lists a DJI RC Mini, a remote with its own built in screen. That controller matches a device that already has FCC approval here in the US, granted back in December 2025. The approval came through just three days before the FCC's Covered List cutoff blocked new authorizations for foreign made drones. The problem is the drone itself never got approval. Without it, the Neo 3 can't be sold in the US. The Wingcopter 262 was unveiled on September 14th, and it's a reconnaissance drone. This is a tilt rotor aircraft that takes off and lands vertically, then flies like a fixed wing plane. Wingcopter says it can stay airborne for up to six hours, fly up to 93 miles, and it carries a swappable payload including thermal cameras with 80 times zoom. It's built for military and border security customers, and it's the first product from Wingcopter's new Security and Defense division. No independent flight testing has been published yet, and there's no price, customer, or delivery date. It's unclear at this time if future payloads will include LiDAR or Mapping cameras. And finally, some good news. A drone helped save a stranded climber in British Columbia. It happened the night of September 10th at Stawamus Chief, near Squamish. A climber got stuck on a 10 inch ledge, 250 feet up, with no rope left to get down. Squamish Search and Rescue sent up two drones. One lit up the cliff face. The other flew a pilot line up to the climber, who used it to pull up a jacket and a headlamp. Rescuers then used a second drone to carry up 300 feet of lightweight rope. The climber was able to grab the rope out of the air, tied it into his harness, and rappelled safely to the ground.And the conversation continues on Post flight where we discuss these stories uncensored in the Premium Community, link is in the description. We'll see you for the live Q&A on Monday.

A car can fail in the market and still become unforgettable, and a “weird” idea can quietly invent the future. We start with a fast tour through automotive history that connects more dots than you'd expect: the 1979 AMC Eagle as an early crossover and all-wheel drive concept, Yellow Cab's origins in Chicago and how that taxi story eventually links to Hertz, the 1959 Mini's small-car genius, the Ford Edsel's infamous launch, and the founding of Toyota Motor Company, complete with the naming decision that leaned on luck and branding. Then we switch from past to present with realistic road trip planning and day tripping near Houston, Texas. We share easy family weekend drives to Beaumont and the Spindletop Gladys City Boomtown Museum, historic Nacogdoches with a planetarium option, Sea Center Texas in Lake Jackson with a free aquarium and touch pool, plus closer stops like Rosenberg and a simpler beach day at Surfside. If you're hunting for “things to do near Houston” or “Texas weekend trip ideas,” these are high-reward, low-stress picks. To close, we get into the details that shoppers and owners care about: our 2026 Mazda CX-5 All-Wheel Drive review, including design updates, cabin feel, real-world MPG, pricing, and how it stacks up against compact SUV rivals like the Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, and Toyota RAV4. Jeff also runs through WD-40 uses for car care, from chrome and hinges to sticky messes, with clear warnings about where it does not belong.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Zach Shefska. Co-founder of CarEdge, a consumer-focused automotive platform he launched with his father in 2019. CarEdge was created to bring greater transparency, fairness, and efficiency to the car-buying experience through pricing data, negotiation tools, consumer education, and AI-powered resources. The conversation explores the current automotive market, rising vehicle prices, strategies for buying and selling cars, the role of AI in negotiations, and practical advice for consumers seeking to avoid costly mistakes. Purpose of the Interview 1. Educate Consumers About Car Buying Zach's primary objective was to help consumers become smarter car buyers by understanding vehicle pricing, trade-ins, inspections, warranties, financing, and negotiation tactics. 2. Promote Transparency in the Automotive Industry CarEdge was founded to level the playing field between dealerships and consumers by providing tools and information that reduce confusion and increase buyer confidence. 3. Showcase the Power of AI and Technology Zach discussed how AI is being used to assist consumers with vehicle negotiations and purchasing decisions, making the process more accessible and less intimidating. 4. Share an Entrepreneurial Success Story The interview highlights how Zach and his father transformed a simple YouTube channel into a nationally recognized platform that helps hundreds of thousands of consumers each year. Key Takeaways 1. Car Prices Have Reached Historic Levels One of the most eye-opening parts of the discussion was Zach's explanation of today's automotive market. Average new vehicle prices exceed $50,000. Average used vehicle prices exceed $28,000. Affordable entry-level vehicle options have become increasingly rare. Lesson: Consumers need to carefully budget and research before making a vehicle purchase. 2. Never Skip a Pre-Purchase Inspection Zach repeatedly emphasized that a pre-purchase inspection is the most important step when buying a used vehicle. An independent mechanic can uncover issues that may not appear on vehicle history reports. Lesson: Spending a small amount upfront on an inspection can prevent major repair expenses later. 3. Do Most of Your Homework Before Going to a Dealership Today's buyers can complete much of the purchasing process online. Consumers should: Research prices Compare vehicles Review financing options Understand ownership costs The dealership visit should mainly be for the test drive and final inspection. Lesson: Preparation creates leverage and confidence. 4. Think Beyond the Monthly Payment Many consumers focus only on monthly payments when evaluating vehicles. Zach recommends considering: Depreciation Insurance Fuel expenses Maintenance Repairs Financing costs Lesson: The true cost of ownership extends far beyond the monthly note. 5. Extended Warranties Can Be Negotiated Many consumers assume warranty packages and protection plans are fixed-price products. Zach explains that buyers should: Ask for the total cost Understand what is covered Negotiate the price if interested Lesson: Everything in the finance office is part of the negotiation process. 6. Separate Trade-Ins from Vehicle Purchases A major strategy discussed was treating a trade-in as a separate transaction. Before visiting a dealership: Obtain offers from CarMax Obtain offers from Carvana Use those offers as leverage Lesson: Negotiating the purchase and trade separately helps maximize value. 7. Reliability Matters More Than Ever When discussing dependable vehicle brands, Zach highlighted: Toyota Honda Mazda He noted that reliability should be a major factor in purchasing decisions because maintenance and repair costs significantly impact long-term ownership expenses. Lesson: A lower-maintenance vehicle often provides better long-term value. 8. Driving Cars Longer Is a Smart Financial Strategy Rather than frequently upgrading, Zach recommends keeping vehicles longer and extracting maximum value from them. Lesson: Reducing depreciation is one of the easiest ways to save money over time. Notable Quotes On Entrepreneurship "Being an entrepreneur is scary. Putting your name associated with something, there's a lot of responsibility associated with that." On Car Shopping "Do your wants versus needs analysis." On Used-Car Purchases "Get a pre-purchase inspection." On Ownership Costs "The cost of a car is not just your monthly payment." On Extended Warranties "Ask them what the actual price is of the coverage." On Trade-Ins "Treat buying a car and selling a car as two separate transactions." On Affordability "Don't be spending more than 20% of your gross take-home income on your car." On Long-Term Ownership "Drive your car into the ground." On Reliability "Toyota, Honda, Mazda." The CarEdge Value Proposition CarEdge is built around four core principles: Transparency Providing real-time pricing insights and market data. Consumer Empowerment Giving buyers the information and negotiating tools needed to make informed decisions. AI-Powered Assistance Using technology to simplify vehicle buying and negotiation. Consumer Education Helping people avoid common mistakes that cost buyers time and money. Overall Assessment This interview serves as both a practical consumer guide and an entrepreneurial case study.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Zach Shefska. Co-founder of CarEdge, a consumer-focused automotive platform he launched with his father in 2019. CarEdge was created to bring greater transparency, fairness, and efficiency to the car-buying experience through pricing data, negotiation tools, consumer education, and AI-powered resources. The conversation explores the current automotive market, rising vehicle prices, strategies for buying and selling cars, the role of AI in negotiations, and practical advice for consumers seeking to avoid costly mistakes. Purpose of the Interview 1. Educate Consumers About Car Buying Zach's primary objective was to help consumers become smarter car buyers by understanding vehicle pricing, trade-ins, inspections, warranties, financing, and negotiation tactics. 2. Promote Transparency in the Automotive Industry CarEdge was founded to level the playing field between dealerships and consumers by providing tools and information that reduce confusion and increase buyer confidence. 3. Showcase the Power of AI and Technology Zach discussed how AI is being used to assist consumers with vehicle negotiations and purchasing decisions, making the process more accessible and less intimidating. 4. Share an Entrepreneurial Success Story The interview highlights how Zach and his father transformed a simple YouTube channel into a nationally recognized platform that helps hundreds of thousands of consumers each year. Key Takeaways 1. Car Prices Have Reached Historic Levels One of the most eye-opening parts of the discussion was Zach's explanation of today's automotive market. Average new vehicle prices exceed $50,000. Average used vehicle prices exceed $28,000. Affordable entry-level vehicle options have become increasingly rare. Lesson: Consumers need to carefully budget and research before making a vehicle purchase. 2. Never Skip a Pre-Purchase Inspection Zach repeatedly emphasized that a pre-purchase inspection is the most important step when buying a used vehicle. An independent mechanic can uncover issues that may not appear on vehicle history reports. Lesson: Spending a small amount upfront on an inspection can prevent major repair expenses later. 3. Do Most of Your Homework Before Going to a Dealership Today's buyers can complete much of the purchasing process online. Consumers should: Research prices Compare vehicles Review financing options Understand ownership costs The dealership visit should mainly be for the test drive and final inspection. Lesson: Preparation creates leverage and confidence. 4. Think Beyond the Monthly Payment Many consumers focus only on monthly payments when evaluating vehicles. Zach recommends considering: Depreciation Insurance Fuel expenses Maintenance Repairs Financing costs Lesson: The true cost of ownership extends far beyond the monthly note. 5. Extended Warranties Can Be Negotiated Many consumers assume warranty packages and protection plans are fixed-price products. Zach explains that buyers should: Ask for the total cost Understand what is covered Negotiate the price if interested Lesson: Everything in the finance office is part of the negotiation process. 6. Separate Trade-Ins from Vehicle Purchases A major strategy discussed was treating a trade-in as a separate transaction. Before visiting a dealership: Obtain offers from CarMax Obtain offers from Carvana Use those offers as leverage Lesson: Negotiating the purchase and trade separately helps maximize value. 7. Reliability Matters More Than Ever When discussing dependable vehicle brands, Zach highlighted: Toyota Honda Mazda He noted that reliability should be a major factor in purchasing decisions because maintenance and repair costs significantly impact long-term ownership expenses. Lesson: A lower-maintenance vehicle often provides better long-term value. 8. Driving Cars Longer Is a Smart Financial Strategy Rather than frequently upgrading, Zach recommends keeping vehicles longer and extracting maximum value from them. Lesson: Reducing depreciation is one of the easiest ways to save money over time. Notable Quotes On Entrepreneurship "Being an entrepreneur is scary.

大改款Mazda CX-5的推出，可說是在擁擠的中型SUV市場中投下震撼彈，討喜的外觀、內裝、配備，長足進步的空間，還有表現優異的底盤，在誘人的外在條件下，似乎對於其2.5升NA引擎+六速手自排的動力配置就比較能釋懷，然而這樣的動力配置真的能讓人熱血沸騰？還是它在輸出設定上有不同的想法？今天我們就來好好全盤分析大改款CX-5！   #行動星球 #聊車挺好的 #CX5 #Mazda #SUV -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Bigger vehicles and pedestrian safety lead the discussion as David Brown and Paul Murrell examine visibility, weight and road design. They explore AI-powered mapping, the shrinking technology gap between prestige and mainstream cars, Ferrari's bespoke engineering and image-driven design from Jaguar and Singer. The Mazda CX-5 road test considers whether its refined design and new technology improve a proven medium SUV. Episode Breakdown • Bigger vehicles and pedestrian safety – 00:01:18 • Smarter mapping and AI – 00:14:07 • Prestige brands under pressure – 00:25:16 • Ferrari builds a one-off – 00:33:08 • Design, image and luxury – 00:37:13 • Mazda CX-5 road test – 00:46:53 Full summary Bigger vehicles and pedestrian safety – 00:01:18 Research links larger, heavier vehicles with greater pedestrian risk. David and Paul discuss poor visibility, high bonnets, cameras, braking, vehicle loads and shared streets. Smarter mapping and AI – 00:14:07 Digital maps are evolving beyond fastest-route navigation. AI could account for trip purpose, lane restrictions, vehicle dimensions, charging, road conditions and operational needs. Prestige brands under pressure – 00:25:16 Advanced technology is spreading rapidly into cheaper cars, challenging traditional luxury brands to justify their premiums through refinement, service and a genuinely distinctive experience. Ferrari builds a one-off – 00:33:08 Ferrari's CZ26 shows how bespoke motoring can extend beyond colours and trim. A single customer commissions substantial aerodynamic, engineering and material changes around SF90 foundations. Design, image and luxury – 00:37:13 Jaguar's dramatic interior and Singer's Louis Vuitton collaboration prompt debate about design versus function, and whether luxury details add genuine value or simply advertise exclusivity. Mazda CX-5 road test – 00:46:53 The CX-5 remains refined and understated, with subtle exterior surfacing and good road manners. Its larger touchscreen and conventional 2.5-litre drivetrain raise questions about Mazda's direction.

During her time away, she developed greater clarity about the kind of work she wants to do, the life she wants to create, and the values she refuses to leave behind.Together, Christie and Amanda explore how coaching can help shift attention away from the inner critic and back toward possibility. Through future visioning, embodiment, metaphor, and practical coaching techniques, Amanda reconnects with what gives her energy: meaningful collaboration, creativity, trust, flexibility, and contributing to something larger than herself.One of the most powerful moments in the conversation comes when Amanda recognizes that the loudest voice in her head is not the most truthful one. As Christie reminds her, self-doubt often grows louder when we're getting closer to something that truly matters.Whether you're returning after raising children, recovering from burnout, taking a sabbatical, caring for loved ones, or intentionally stepping away to reset, this conversation offers encouragement and practical coaching tools to help you move forward with greater confidence.In this episode, you'll learn:How to rebuild confidence after taking a career breakWhy self-doubt often increases before meaningful changeA coaching exercise that creates momentum through future visioningHow to reconnect with your strengths instead of your fearsWhy values should guide your next career movePractical ways to move forward before you feel completely readyAbout Amanda:Amanda Wood is a multidisciplinary creator with a degree in fine arts and over 15 years of experience as a creative professional in advertising and communications. She has worked in large agencies as an art/creative director for clients like Toyota, Air Canada, McDonald's, and Mazda and later founded her own agency specializing in bringing new brands to market. She is also a certified yoga instructor and a student of acting and is engaged in many community-based creative projects such as sign painting, schoolyard revitalization, and children's face painting, to name a few. Amanda lives in downtown Toronto with her husband, six-year-old son, and dog, Cosmo.

You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/EVNewsDailyEV SALES SPREAD AS CHINA SLOWSGlobal EV sales rose 35% in Q2 2026 with record sales in 50 countries, while more than 90 countries posted year-on-year growth despite a 5% decline in overall car sales. The IEA now forecasts EVs will account for 29% of global sales in 2026, driven by growth beyond China and the US in markets like Australia, Brazil, India, Korea and Vietnam, though China's EV sales are expected to stagnate year-on-year for the first time this decade while still representing over 60% of new cars sold there.EUROPEAN BEV SHARE HITS RECORD IN JUNEEuropean new car registrations rose 13% year-on-year in June with BEV registrations climbing 50.7% to capture a record 25.7% market share of 359,300 units. Combustion vehicles fell 13.6% to 27% market share, while Tesla led EV rankings but growth broadened across Renault, BMW, Skoda, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Volvo and BYD.RIVIAN BEATS, BUT R2 COSTS MOUNTRivian posted Q2 2026 revenue of $1.658 billion with record gross profit of $179 million and 11% gross margin, improving for five consecutive quarters, but the R2 mid-size SUV ramp added $100 million in extra costs. The company raised full-year delivery guidance to 65,000-70,000 vehicles and narrowed adjusted EBITDA loss guidance to $1.8-2.0 billion, requiring roughly 42,000-47,000 deliveries in the second half.RIVIAN SEES STRONG EARLY R2 CONVERSIONRivian reported R2 Launch Edition reservation-to-order conversion is running meaningfully above expectations, signaling strong demand at the premium price point. The company expects broader R2 trim availability in early 2027, which could drive better momentum when lower-priced versions become available.VW URGES FAST EU TARIFFS ON CHINESE PHEVSVW Group CEO Oliver Blume called for the EU to quickly apply 35% tariffs on Chinese plug-in hybrids similar to those on Chinese battery electric vehicles, citing undercutting of European car makers. Chinese brand sales in Europe rose 101% in H1 2026 to 685,990 units with 9.5% market share, up from 5% a year earlier, with BYD models dominating the PHEV top sellers list.DENZA OPENS UK BAO 5 ORDERSDENZA opened UK orders for the BAO 5 plug-in hybrid SUV priced from £69,500 to £78,880, featuring a dual-motor system delivering 544PS combined power with 62 miles of electric range and up to 100kW DC charging. The entry Elegance trim includes premium features like a 15.6-inch central screen with Google, leather upholstery, panoramic roof and a 18-speaker Devialet audio system.MERCEDES FACES YEARS OF CHINA PRICE PRESSUREMercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius warned that China's EV pricing war will persist for years as Chinese brands like BYD push aggressively into the luxury segment, challenging models such as the S-Class and G-Class. Mercedes recorded a 30% second-quarter sales drop in China, though the company is cutting costs and maintaining strength in its top-end luxury and AMG segments.GENESIS PRICES GV60 MAGMA AT $71,495Genesis priced its first performance EV, the GV60 Magma, at $71,495 with deliveries starting in select US states, targeting Mercedes-AMG and BMW M buyers with 600hp in normal use and 641hp in Boost Mode for under four-second 0-60mph acceleration. The car uses an 84kWh battery with 800V architecture enabling 10-80% charging in about 20 minutes and features an electronic limited-slip differential, Drift Mode and simulated engine sounds.CHINESE TRUCK MAKERS USE EUROPE'S FACTORIESChinese truck makers SuperPanther and Sinotruk are entering Europe through contract manufacturing at existing plants rather than building new factories, using the semi-knocked-down method to speed market entry and reduce costs. Steyr Automotive in Austria now assembles SuperPanther's eTopas 600 and Sinotruk's vehicles, with plans to expand to cab production and painting as volumes rise.VATTENFALL TESTS OPEN EV CHARGING BAYSVattenfall InCharge is piloting 300 public chargers in North Brabant and Limburg from August 2026 to January 2027, splitting them between 150 open bays for all vehicles and 150 standard bays reserved for EVs to test faster deployment by removing exclusive EV parking restrictions. The trial addresses an administrative bottleneck rather than a technical one, testing whether chargers can be installed faster without requiring traffic rulings and public objection periods.MAN STARTS MCS-READY ELECTRIC TRUCK PRODUCTIONMAN started series production of MCS-ready electric trucks, the eTGX and eTGS, at its Munich plant as the first series-produced European electric trucks supporting Megawatt Charging System at up to 750kW via MCS. With configurations of 534kWh or 623kWh usable capacity, the trucks achieve 20-80% charges in under 30-40 minutes, fitting within legally required driver breaks for long-haul use.NEXT MX-5 READIES FOR ELECTRIC FUTUREMazda CEO Masahiro Moro said the next MX-5 Miata will be designed with electrification in mind, marking a shift from earlier statements emphasizing the internal combustion engine as the current path forward. Patents from 2025 show Mazda exploring batteries running through the transmission tunnel to support a flexible chassis, with the company aiming to preserve the Miata's core character during its transition to electric power.

The show starts with Sami's thorough review of the 2026 Subaru Trailseeker, an electric wagon that shares its bones with the Toyota bZ Woodland. Can a Subaru feel like the rest of its family while being so closely related to a Toyota, or does no one actually care if it feels all that different from an Outback or Forester? Then Benjamin pilots the 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata around the rural backroads to find his happy place. A focused machine with no true rivals, Benjamin has plenty to say about the latest Miata, with a mostly positive spin. Finally Benjamin gives us an update on the new Hankook Ventus tires fitted to his Subaru Outback, and responds to some listener feedback. Thanks for listening!

The conversation explores the current automotive market, rising vehicle prices, strategies for buying and selling cars, the role of AI in negotiations, and practical advice for consumers seeking to avoid costly mistakes. Purpose of the Interview 1. Educate Consumers About Car Buying Zach's primary objective was to help consumers become smarter car buyers by understanding vehicle pricing, trade-ins, inspections, warranties, financing, and negotiation tactics. 2. Promote Transparency in the Automotive Industry CarEdge was founded to level the playing field between dealerships and consumers by providing tools and information that reduce confusion and increase buyer confidence. 3. Showcase the Power of AI and Technology Zach discussed how AI is being used to assist consumers with vehicle negotiations and purchasing decisions, making the process more accessible and less intimidating. 4. Share an Entrepreneurial Success Story The interview highlights how Zach and his father transformed a simple YouTube channel into a nationally recognized platform that helps hundreds of thousands of consumers each year. Key Takeaways 1. Car Prices Have Reached Historic Levels One of the most eye-opening parts of the discussion was Zach's explanation of today's automotive market. Average new vehicle prices exceed $50,000. Average used vehicle prices exceed $28,000. Affordable entry-level vehicle options have become increasingly rare. Lesson: Consumers need to carefully budget and research before making a vehicle purchase. 2. Never Skip a Pre-Purchase Inspection Zach repeatedly emphasized that a pre-purchase inspection is the most important step when buying a used vehicle. An independent mechanic can uncover issues that may not appear on vehicle history reports. Lesson: Spending a small amount upfront on an inspection can prevent major repair expenses later. 3. Do Most of Your Homework Before Going to a Dealership Today's buyers can complete much of the purchasing process online. Consumers should: Research prices Compare vehicles Review financing options Understand ownership costs The dealership visit should mainly be for the test drive and final inspection. Lesson: Preparation creates leverage and confidence. 4. Think Beyond the Monthly Payment Many consumers focus only on monthly payments when evaluating vehicles. Zach recommends considering: Depreciation Insurance Fuel expenses Maintenance Repairs Financing costs Lesson: The true cost of ownership extends far beyond the monthly note. 5. Extended Warranties Can Be Negotiated Many consumers assume warranty packages and protection plans are fixed-price products. Zach explains that buyers should: Ask for the total cost Understand what is covered Negotiate the price if interested Lesson: Everything in the finance office is part of the negotiation process. 6. Separate Trade-Ins from Vehicle Purchases A major strategy discussed was treating a trade-in as a separate transaction. Before visiting a dealership: Obtain offers from CarMax Obtain offers from Carvana Use those offers as leverage Lesson: Negotiating the purchase and trade separately helps maximize value. 7. Reliability Matters More Than Ever When discussing dependable vehicle brands, Zach highlighted: Toyota Honda Mazda He noted that reliability should be a major factor in purchasing decisions because maintenance and repair costs significantly impact long-term ownership expenses. Lesson: A lower-maintenance vehicle often provides better long-term value. 8. Driving Cars Longer Is a Smart Financial Strategy Rather than frequently upgrading, Zach recommends keeping vehicles longer and extracting maximum value from them. Lesson: Reducing depreciation is one of the easiest ways to save money over time. Notable Quotes On Entrepreneurship "Being an entrepreneur is scary. Putting your name associated with something, there's a lot of responsibility associated with that." On Car Shopping "Do your wants versus needs analysis." On Used-Car Purchases "Get a pre-purchase inspection." On Ownership Costs "The cost of a car is not just your monthly payment." On Extended Warranties "Ask them what the actual price is of the coverage." On Trade-Ins "Treat buying a car and selling a car as two separate transactions." On Affordability "Don't be spending more than 20% of your gross take-home income on your car." On Long-Term Ownership "Drive your car into the ground." On Reliability "Toyota, Honda, Mazda."

Consumer Empowerment Giving buyers the information and negotiating tools needed to make informed decisions. AI-Powered Assistance Using technology to simplify vehicle buying and negotiation. Consumer Education Helping people avoid common mistakes that cost buyers time and money. Overall Assessment This interview serves as both a practical consumer guide and an entrepreneurial case study. Zach Shefska explains how CarEdge is helping consumers navigate an increasingly expensive and complex automotive marketplace while using technology to make the car-buying process more transparent. The central message is simple: informed buyers make better decisions. Whether purchasing a new vehicle, shopping for a used car, negotiating a warranty, or evaluating a trade-in, success comes from research, preparation, and understanding the full cost of ownership before signing on the dotted line. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

Het was weer een stralende ochtend in het Zwolse en Bergharense, want Nyn en Han hadden in de vroege ochtend een koffiedate om de stand van zaken van jullie (onze luisteraars) weer eens door te spreken. We waren overspoeld met vragen, dus het is weer een tjokvol program met onderwerpen van allerlei allooi. Wat doe je als twee mensen in je vriendengroep hebben, wat doe je met die fukking perimenopauze, wat doe je als je kind wordt gepest? Er vroeg ook iemand of ze die ontprikkelcursus van die momfluencer moet kopen: wij kunnen daar kort over zijn, beter luister je naar ons. Kost niks en is ook nog eens veel beter voor je eigenwaarde. Zet koffie (Mazda!) en schuif bij ons aan de keukentafel. Er is plek zat.Handjes, kusjes en voetjes, Nyn en Han (en ook wel van de jongens, hoor)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Don't Get Stranded! Essential Trackside Spares.Welcome back to Everyone Racers.  FUCKING MOPAR 440 EPISODE in which Mental just doesn't sleep, Tim buys more parts cars, Chrissy chicken likes wooden and fresh eggs, and Chris removes a sunroof.  Really, we talk all about spares.  Every racer has a story. A wheel bearing that failed without warning. A fuel pump that quit at the worst possible moment. A brake hose that turned a podium run into a parts-store scavenger hunt. Spare parts can save your weekend, what should you get, where to get them, how to keep them, and when to call it.  What's the one spare part that can save an entire race weekend? We dive deep into one of the least glamorous—but most important—topics in amateur motorsports: the spare parts you should always bring to the track.Using lessons learned from years of endurance racing, LeMons racing, ChampCar, Lucky Dog, SCCA, NASA, grassroots road racing, rally adventures, and countless trackside repairs, we cover the spare parts strategy that keeps race cars on track and out of the paddock.We've lived through all of it, and in this episode we break down exactly what belongs in your trailer, tow vehicle, paddock box, or race car so you can spend more time racing and less time searching for parts.In this episode:

There's a lot of fantastic music being made by Brazilian artists living in the U.S. They entertain an estimated 1.5 million Brazilian immigrants here as well as a growing number of other fans. And Brazilian music is enjoying a resurgence here - on Mazda commercials, endless bossa nova soundtracks played in upscale restaurants; inter-cultural collaborations and so on. We'll hear many of the best: Jorge Alabe, the godfather of many samba schools; Bebel Gilberto, daughter of bossa pioneer Joao Gilberto; singer Luciana Souza; the quirky percussionist Cyro Baptista; the funky, unorthodox Forro in the Dark and others. They all have fascinating stories to tell. We'll hear them in concert, visit with them in their homes, and hear songs from records produced in the U.S. New York University's widely published Professor of Music Jason Stanyek will be our co-host.

By the late 2000s, shrinking markets, tightening emissions, and a younger generation losing interest in vehicles signaled the end of the legendary JDM era. But a few rebellious engineers refused to go quietly, choosing instead to make their last cars arguably their greatest.In this second-to-last episode of Past Gas: The Golden Era of JDM, we explore the dramatic conclusion of Japan's greatest automotive era. Discover how Nissan built the R35 GT-R from scratch to successfully crush Porsche at the Nurburgring, why Toyota intentionally lost money on every screaming V10 LFA they built to educate their next generation of engineers, the heartbreaking cancellation of Honda's highly anticipated V10 NSX, and how Mazda kept the pure driving spirit alive despite the death of the rotary engine. This episode is brought to you by Lumi Gummies!

For decades, the world saw Japanese cars as just efficient, economical daily commuters. Then the 1990s hit, and Japan unleashed a lineup of obsessively engineered racing monsters that completely stunned the established European and American giants. Backed by the limitless budgets of the nation's economic "bubble era," Japanese engineers were given the ultimate green light to overbuild their machines without worrying about the cost.From Subaru and Mitsubishi conquering unforgiving rally dirt, to Mazda's unbreakable rotary engine surviving Le Mans, and Nissan's R32 "Godzilla" destroying the Australian touring circuit—Japan didn't just show up to compete. They took over.Discover how these manufacturers stopped being seen as the "optimistic little brother," rewrote the racing rulebooks, and became the ultimate global benchmark.This episode is brought to you by QUO.
