Podcasts about minivans

An action-packed week of Vegasy updates, including updated Hard Rock plans, Caesars and MGM transactions, and restaurant and show news The post FHBM #1008: Moths, Minivans, Loons and Pontoons first appeared on Five Hundy By Midnight.

When a car is reviewed so well that one of our hosts actually considers buying one, you know its going to be a good podcast discussion. This week starts off with such talk with Benjamin's review of the 2026 GMC Canyon AT4, which was so perfectly suited for his lifestyle that he seriously pulled up the spreadsheets and budgets to see if it could work for him. Hear what makes this truck so good, and maybe one of the best mid-size trucks on the market. Then Sami jumps in with a review of the only-for-Canada (so far) 2026 Kia EV4, something he said was revolting to look at when Benjamin reviewed it last month, but now has much more to talk about after testing it for a week. He dishes his pros and cons with this affordable EV and comes out feeling pretty good about the state of entry-level electric cars. Thanks for listening!

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast gets deep into it this week, with a "review" of the impressive and high end 2026 Land Rover Defender Octa, a performance oriented version of the off road SUV. While Jaguar and Range Rover get the SV treatment for their high output models, Defender gets an Octa badge, though it features the same BMW sourced turbo V8 and 6D suspension as the Range Rover Sport SV. Which JLR super SUV camp do you belong to? What makes a six figure SUV special? What differentiates this from a G63 AMG? Then Benjamin checks out the 2026 Buick Encore GX, a subcompact crossover that used to represent the growth of the American premium brand, but now seems a bit dated compared to other Buick vehicles. Benjamin explains it all with careful perspective of where the Encore stands with the impressive Envista sitting next to it. Then the show introduces a new concept: tire testing! Benjamin throws on some new summer rubber on his Daily Driver and can't wait to tell you the results. Thanks for listening!

Has the Unnamed Automotive Podcast really never reviewed a Volkswagen Jetta? That's situation has been resolved, and Benjamin has a full and thorough test of the German compact car, as Sami asks him tons of questions. What makes the Jetta a worthy pick over other small sedans? And how does it compare to hybrid options out there? Benjamin has plenty answers as we review this sedan for the first time ever. Then Sami checks out the 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor, an off road variant of the three-row crossover that replaces the old Timberline trim. Packed with a 3.0L turbocharged engine, the Ford Explorer has plenty of cool features and equipment, but Sami was really caught off guard by the hands-free driving tech. Thanks for listening!

The Unnamed Automtoive Podcast jumps back into the subcompact sphere and gets to review the 2026 Volkswagen Taos. Benjamin wonders what the correct pronounciation of the crossover is, then gets into the nitty gritty about the pros and cons of this small, but steady SUV. They also talk about what makes for a good subcompact crossover, and what doesn't make the cut. Then Sami brings up some recent harrowing news about Honda, and the weird pricing strategy over at Toyota regarding its three-row crossovers. Thanks for listening!

A tire detached from a northbound semi-truck struck a southbound minivan on I-5 just north of Mill Plain Boulevard around 7:40 a.m. The minivan driver sustained moderate injuries and was transported by American Medical Response to a local hospital.

What's the deal with the Jeep Grand Wagoneer? The Unnamed Automotive Podcast thoroughly explores the 2026 model which has a new design, revised lineup, reduced powertrain options and a million screens. Sami's review is all encompassing though he brings up a lot of competitors in the space. Then Benjamin shares his thoughts on the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. It's the most powerful Crosstrek yet, and is barely the most efficient, but theres more to the story than that. Hear the full review to learn more! Thanks for listening!

He's not happy about it...

Jason's joined by Kate Raddatz once a month for The Radd Report. This month they talked about internships - should they be paid or not? Then, is the mini-van back? And what do moms REALLY want for Mother's Day?

Benjamin's 2026 Kia EV4 review may leave our American listeners confused since it isn't coming the the US market, but the Canadians get to enjoy this weird looking EV and its several positives. It looks good, has pretty good range and an attractive pricetag, so whats the catch? Then Sami reviews the 2026 Lexus TX with seven seats, and he gets to use all seven of those luxury-lined seats. The review leaves Benjamin and Sami wondering what other true three-row luxury crossovers are out there, and which ones can compete at the TX's price point. Thanks for listening!

Grant is not happy what his wife is pushing for...

How do you create a toddlers core memory? The Unnamed Automotive Podcast discusses Sami taking his son to see Monster Jam when it crashes and bashes into town. Hear how a child—who believes all trucks are monster trucks—can still enjoy the spectacle of jumbo-sized motorsports. Then Benjamin reviews the significantly redesigned and upgraded 2026 Toyota bZ, and has many things to say about it, both positive and negative! Is the bump in power and range really noticable? What about all of the bZs rivals? Benjamin shares his thoughts and more. Thanks for listening!

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast arrives this week with a thorough examination of how Benjamin tries to escape the swirling mess of constant bad news by moving some rocks around. Well, actually the show really hits its stride with Benjamin's review of the 2026 Mazda3 sedan. A surprisingly peppy compact with a design that causes some disagreement between our hosts, the Mazda3 has several positives elements as well as a few red flags. For anyone contemplating a compact car purchase in 2026, this review is a must-hear. Then Sami chimes in with his review of the 2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport. Armed with a six-speed manual transmission and little else, Sami wonders aloud, whats the big deal with the Taco? He discusses its impressive fuel economy, and its unimpressive stick-shift but comes to a lukewarm conclusion. Finally our hosts tackle a listener question about the Audi five-cylinder turbocharged engine. Thanks for listening!

Are our phones really listening to us? Anna, Raven, Producer Justin and Producer Sophia try to put ads in their phones by speaking about things they want right into their phones.  Happy TAX DAY! Ravens stressed; Anna had absolutely nothing to do with her taxes being filed. How to finesse a write-off with Raven.  Yup. Opera has done it again. She just... loves bread. What part of bread do you like? Cause there are only two people in the world... Crust people or no crust. Do you pass the relationship pizza test? Would you jump off a bridge if everyone else would? Annas daughter, Dakota, had no clue what this meant. She said yea, with parents' supervision. What sayings have totally been lost in translation this day in age? Therapist Eli Weinstein gives in his two cents on Ravens therapist “winding down” and leaving him. Eli has fired a patient before; maybe this is actually what happened to Raven! Today is the due date, but Producer Justin and Producer Sophia have not yet filed their taxes. Talk about procrastination! What would you give back to the community with your tax money! Fit by 50! Boss Keith wants to be in better shape for his 50th birthday. Anna and Raven are holding him to this with a weekly weight in which will last for 7 weeks. Starting weight- 198...Goal 185. Let's go Keith!  And also... Boss Ed. And his Minivan. Let's talk about them. Are you for or against the mom bus? Anna and Raven, and Ed discuss how they really feel about them. Are we bringing back sexy minivans?  Carol and Dave's daughter is 11 years old and insisted that she wanted to join the town cheerleading squad. She quit softball last year after two practices, and her father did not want her to join cheerleading because he thinks she's lazy and would quit this too. Well, she did. She refuses to go anymore, and mom doesn't want to fight her about it. Their daughter claims the girls are “drama” and that the coaches “are mean”. Dad says that's it and wants to take $350 out of her savings account to cover the fees and the uniform that they bought for her to participate. Mom says you can't take your kid's Christmas and birthday money. He says you can teach them a lesson by taking their cash. Your thoughts? Kathy has a chance to win $2600! All she has to do is answer more pop culture questions than Raven in Can't Beat Raven!

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast is still looking at cars that are affordable and available with this weeks review of the 2026 Chevrolet Trax. One of the top choices for shoppers on a budget, Benjamin has found out that things aren't as cheap as they used to be—but that doesn't mean the Chevy is bad, does it? Maybe it just depends on where you're buying, as prices vary significantly when you cross the border. Also is a 1.2L turbo three-cylinder engine enough for keeping up with traffic? Benjamin has all the details. Then the show goes into some big-screen talk, as Benjamin recently interviewed Sung Kang, one of the stars of The Fast and The Furious franchise, as he prepares his new movie Drifter for release. Sung Kang talked about his first car, cars on set, and more to Benjamin who relays it all to you deal listener. Thanks for listening!

A one-door BMW microcar shows up at a Texas cruise-in and instantly steals the whole parking lot. We're live from the Tailpipes and Tacos Cruise-In in Katy, and we sit down with the owner of a 1959 BMW Isetta to unpack why this tiny, strange-looking classic is actually a rolling masterclass in packaging and creative engineering. From the front-opening body to the steering wheel mounted on the door, the Isetta is proof that great design is not always about speed. We also zoom out into the real life of a collector who keeps an eclectic mix of classics and vintage trucks drivable, then share the kind of story every car person understands: tracking down the exact Porsche 911 you ordered new, sold after your wedding, and finally bought back years later for a full factory-fresh restoration. It's nostalgia, research, and commitment all in one garage. Then we flip to modern practicality with our 2026 Kia Carnival review, focusing on why this hybrid minivan that looks more like an SUV is winning people over. We talk design, interior space, captain's chairs, fold-flat third-row utility, the 1.6L turbo hybrid powertrain with 242 horsepower, real-world fuel economy, pricing, and how it stacks up against Pacifica, Odyssey, and Sienna. If you like car culture stories plus clear buying guidance, this one hits both. Subscribe for more honest car reviews, interviews with real car people, and weekly automotive talk, then share this with a friend and leave a quick rating and review so more listeners can find us.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

The moment a repair estimate lands, every driver asks the same question: am I maintaining a car or financing its last years? We get specific about the “sell it” repairs that blow up budgets fast, from a blown head gasket to a transmission replacement, cracked engine block, air suspension failure, and the kind of electrical problems that eat shop time without guaranteeing a clean fix. We also talk overheating damage like warped or cracked cylinder heads, heater core replacement that requires major dash work, and timing chain or timing belt failures that can turn into valve and piston damage on interference engines. The goal is simple: help you make a calm decision when repair costs start to outrun your car's value.Once you choose not to repair, we walk through what to do with the vehicle next: selling privately, trading it in, donating it for pickup, or turning it into a project car. If you've ever stared at a “fix it or sell it” crossroads, this part gives you practical next steps instead of guilt.Then we shift into summer mode with national park road trips and driving-focused routes worth planning for, including Glacier National Park's Going-To-The-Sun Road, Yosemite's Tioga Pass at high elevation, and Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park where brake management matters on long descents. We close with a straightforward review of a hybrid minivan that leans SUV in style, covering interior space, cargo flexibility, fuel economy, and pricing against familiar competitors.If you enjoy real-world car advice and road-trip planning, subscribe, share this with a friend who's debating a big repair, and leave a review with the most expensive fix you've ever faced.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast has a couple of car reviews this week to share, but not before discussing things like wet keyfobs, pond entry/exit, and Canadian Tire clearance sales! The show eventually gets to the point and Benjamin reviews the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox. Not the electric one, but the gas model that faces off against a meaty segment full of favorites like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V and Ford Bronco Sport. Benjamin has a lot to say about Chevy's plucky crossover, and Sami has a few things to add, but is this oft-forgotten rival worth checking out in such a crowded segment? Then Sami shares his review of the 2026 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, one of the few sedans out there, and with its own fair share of pros and cons. How can one reasonably pick this over something like the Camry or Accord? Sami explains where the Sonata sings and where it falls flat. Thanks for listening!

When is a V8 powered sports sedan not a sports sedan? Benjamin tries his hardest to answer that question this week on the Unnamed Automotive Podcast, with his review of the 2025 Lexus IS 500. Powered by a sweet, naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 engine, the Lexus IS 500 promises the world and comes up a bit short in several important ways as Benjamin details its speed, power, and inadequacies especially in the harsh cold weather he's been experiencing lately. Then the show lands from orbit to discuss NASA testing its tires, and how they safely depressurize shuttle rubber. The remote-controlled answer will warm your heart! Thanks for listening!

 Tesla's strategic shift toward a future defined by artificial intelligence and modular vehicle platforms. Internal documents and public teasers suggest the development of a CyberSUV or CyberVan, designed to leverage the Cybertruck's unique stainless steel architecture for larger families and commercial use. This expansion coincides with the launch of the Model Y "Project Juniper" refresh, which introduces refined aesthetics and hardware to the world's top-selling electric vehicle. Beyond consumer cars, Elon Musk is prioritizing the Optimus humanoid robot and specialized autonomous units like the Cybercab and Robovan. To support this massive computational demand, Tesla is constructing a "Terafab" semiconductor facility in Texas to produce proprietary AI chips. These moves reflect a broader transition from traditional automaking to a comprehensive robotics and autonomy ecosystem.

Mens Room Question: What would you like to see come back, or what came back to you?

The Unnamed Automotive Podcast returns this week to discuss the hypothetical friendship survey, weird V8 powered FWD cars, engines that powered motorhomes and they even review a few new cars along the way. The first is a look at the 2026 Volkswagen Golf GTI, which Sami was already dismissive of due to its deletion of the manual transmission. However, some spirited drives helped change Sami's mind a bit. Is it enough to recommend it? Listen to find out! Then Benjamin shares his thoughts on the 2026 Genesis GV70, one of the newer faces among the luxury compact SUV segment, but one that is consistently recommended by our hosts. That's for a reason, as Benjamin explains, and the show further discusses who Genesis may be appealing to with all of its offerings. Thanks for listening!

Benjamin's takes on the 2026 Hyundai Elantra N Line, a car inspired by the sport compacts of yore. The N Line features an upgraded engine and a sportier suspension system, but is it really an enthusiast oriented model, or just an excuse to hike up the price for Hyundai's compact car? Then Sami reviews the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas. After testing so many three-row crossovers lately, Sami turns his attention to the German family-friendly ride, which has been thoroughly refreshed in recent years. However, one glaring red flag spoils Sami's recommendation of the Atlas; can you guess what it is? Finally, the show shares some important and interesting news about Honda's deep-in-development EVs, which are now cancelled. Sami and Benjamin discuss what this means for the EV market in the US and the automotive industry as a whole. Thanks for listening!

Can the Subaru faithful get over the exterior design and appreciate what the automaker has been able to accomplish with this new generation? Is the powetrain up to snuff? Can it handle the snow? Find out all the answers in this weeks episode! Thanks for listening!

This funny news show starts with Valentine's Day confusion and quickly spirals into a full-on identity crisis. Rizz is possibly spending Valentine's Day alone, possibly with DJ Pauly D, definitely not wearing pants—and that's just the beginning. From not knowing zodiac signs (but somehow surviving marriage) to realizing that birthdays close to Valentine's Day are a strategic advantage, the crew kicks things off with peak relationship chaos.Then comes the house rating heard 'round St. Louis. Rafe's new place gets evaluated like a Zillow listing with emotional baggage, complete with debates over shoveling etiquette, floating stairs, blind dogs, and the slowest move-in process known to man. Somehow, this leads to lunch, which turns into a bit, which turns into strangers questioning reality as Rafe pretends to be a superfan in public. Normal stuff.From there, the show leans hard into the realization that everyone is officially old now. Grocery stores are playing bangers. Bars are confusing. Costco is no longer a chore—it's an experience. Socks slap. Grapes are elite. Clothes are “not that bad.” And the biggest shock of all? Costco and Nike teaming up to release Kirkland Dunks that immediately resell for stupid money. The dads are not okay.The episode wraps with minivan supremacy, sneaker generational debates, knowing where the nearest hospital is at all times, and the quiet acceptance that this daily comedy show is now powered by dad logic, utility vehicles, and bulk pricing. Laugh through the pain—it's cheaper than therapy.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to the first episode of 2026! Kelly and Lizz have survived the holiday break (barely) and ready to kick off a new year of podcasts. First things first, it's time to reveal their words for 2026 and these are some things we should all take with us into the new year. Speaking of words of the year, the unintentional word of the year for 2025 was coined right on this podcast: micro-hobbies! Kelly has a new one and it involves joining a club. Plus, her football micro-hobby is going strong and getting ready for the playoffs.  Big announcement for the Car Mom, new merch is here! This one is for all the minivan lovers out there. Since they are on the minivan topic, it's time to talk about Pete Davidson's tricked out minivan. Are you over the "I'm getting a COOL minivan" cliche?  Kelly and Lizz also have some new base model luxuries. Some are better than others...  Checking in with Industry News, Mitsubishi continues to try and find their way in automotives. So far they haven't been successful, could that change soon? Speaking of success, Stellantis sales are down once again for 2025. What can save them?  In Ditch the Drive-Thru, Kelly made a beef soup that impressed the entire family on New Year's Day. It was so good that even Lizz had seconds!  Get your "Never Say Never" sweatshirt now at tensionandthreadco.com
