One of Toyota's popular plug-in hybrids (PHEV) the Prius Prime gets a major redesign for 2023. This week we share our first impressions of the 2023 Toyota Prius Prime, its new sleek styling, improved fuel economy, driving characteristics, and extended electric-only range. We help a member of our audience find a replacement for her Scion tC with something more fuel efficient, like the Honda CR-Z, Insight, and Fit. Also, we discuss the differences of all-wheel-drive systems on ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles and EVs, and how to improve traction in wintry weather driving.

On this episode, Alan explains to us all Toyota's US sub brand, Scion and his new car the Scion TC. Listen to his exasperation at how nothing costs what it is listed at, why he purchased it and how come Janet Street-Porter is relevant.
You're the wizard of loneliness
Pick up your favorite scene partner in your Scion tC and head to Nate's Lizard Lounge: it's time to discuss Nathan Fielder's latest creation, “The Rehearsal” on HBO! We also managed to squeeze in our reviews of s3 of “Never Have I Ever” AND the pilot episode of “House of the Dragon”!
NOTE! If you're one of our beloved Patreon supporters (thank you!) please listen to the 100-minute "Before Show" in advance of listening to this, our main episode. The Before Show is manic and weird (wow, really?), and once we realized it was too manic and weird to be the main episode, we recorded what you have here
If the thing that scares you the most in life is eels, good news -- they only come up for a minute or so. Unfortunately if you're afraid of crashing your Scion TC going 100 Mph... you might want to skip this one. On episode two of The Rehearsal we meet Angela, a woman who wants to rehearse being a mother.HBO's The Rehearsal stars Nathan Fielder as a man who questions how much of his life is written for himself. He'll utilize a group of artists and other professionals to help him manufacture a life so he, and complete strangers can "rehearse" life's key moments.Follow us on social: @Kellydoubleyou and @MeaganbiancoIntro and outro music: What's The Angle? by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.comFollow the podcast on TikTok: @nathanforuspodcastFollow the podcast on Instagram and Twitter: @nathanforuspod

The 2010 Kia Forte Koup wants to be a Honda Civic and it's pretty easy to understand why. The Civic has an image of fuel-efficiency that is supported by eye-catching styling and driving dynamics. The Kia Forte Koup so wants to be there.Lots of cars have tried to become the Honda Civic — like the Chevy Cobalt, Mazda 3 and Scion tC — but Honda still sits on top of the sales pyramid. The Civic represented 339,289 sales in 2008, and when the recession began in earnest in June 2008, the Honda Civic was even the top-selling vehicle in the country.
Rob gushes about his new car and road-tripping, Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 for the XBox 360. Rob and Robn discuss the awesomeness that is co-op online gaming, RTS'ing on a console, the DigitalTV Converter Box vouchers (and a conspiracy rant from Rob.) Both of the guys rant on Twitter and how its relevance is lost on them, but dream about how to incorporate the mechanics of Twitter into other areas of life. We discuss user-created content and whether it matters or we're just all full of ourselves. Robn debuts his new geeky purchase, his Mr. Bento. Rob shares how he saved $1000 in one month and the boys discuss creative lunching. Brown bags be damned!
