In this episode James, Richard and Matt kick off with Muskwatch (0:50), where they are happy to learn that Model 3 production did meet the (revised?) goals, and wonder if Tesla can keep this cadence up, especially since chief vehicle engineer Doug Field left the company last week.Matt tells us all about his disappointingly easy test drive of the new Subaru Forester (6:15), and is super excited about the Suzuki Jimny coming to Australia (10:15).Richard drove the new-generation Santa Fe (16:05), Porsche has set an astounding Nurburgring record (19:40), and the QLD Police force has announced the Kia Stinger as their next pursuit car (24:50). In NSW, however, police are reportedly opening unlocked cars, searching through them for valuables and then issuing fines to the owners for forgetfulness. Seriously (28:05).Make sure you listen to the end of the episode for an extra special giveaway! (Spoiler, it's a Lamborghini. And it's definitely not a model...)James Cleary, Richard Berry and Matt Campbell tear down, pressure test and rebuild the issues of the automotive week.You can get in touch with us on Facebook, Twitter (#CGPodcast)and Instagram, or share your thoughts on what cars are the same as what fruit by emailing comments@carsguide.com.au.You can subscribe to the CarsGuide podcast on iTunes, find us on TuneIn, Stitcher, Spotify, Pocket Casts, Whooshkaa, and, naturally, the CarsGuide website.
