This week, it's all about the 2026 Subaru Outback. We bought two trims of the Outback: Premium and Touring XT. We discuss its radical redesign from a wagon to an SUV, talk about why we bought two trims and the differences between them, and how Subaru's omission of a hybrid powertrain may be a mistake. Plus, we answer a question about EV replacement tires.   Join CR at https://CR.org/joinviaYT to access our comprehensive ratings for items you use every day.

Every year, manufactures launch new features that we usually don't know that we want. Sometimes, these features are so effective and popular, they disrupt an industry and become government-mandated. Other times, they become quickly forgotten and unwanted by society. Until recent years, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class was the purveyor of new automotive technology - we'd see something in an S Class that we know we might get 15 years later on a Nissan Versa. But even the S-Class had some misses - debuting technology that quickly went away after the next generation. === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === Nowadays, more than ever - we notice manufactures cutting corners in areas where they have no business doing so. No one-touch windows (Subaru Crosstrek), CarPlay being a $4,000+ option (Ferrari, until 2023), non-amber turn signals (BMW), and lacking spare tires on cars we know need them (Volkswagen e-Golf). This got us thinking - what are the best and worst features in history that have ever been invented? What features seemed like they'd be popular, but flunked? What features seemed dumb and first, but are now on every car sold? Jason and Derek do a deep dive on this episode - tune in to find out. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we go through the mailbag and answer audience questions, including: Is driving 55 mph really more fuel-efficient—even in a 10-speed like the Acura TLX? We break down the science behind highway MPG, explain how regenerative braking affects brake light activation in EVs like the Hyundai Kona Electric, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Kia Niro EV, compare jump-starting with cables vs. lithium battery boosters, dig into timing chain vs. timing belt replacement costs in models like the Honda CR-V, and help you decide whether to buy or lease a Honda Ridgeline.

260131 - Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid by Derrière le Volant

Subaru is back with a hybrid Crosstrek—will this one finally get it right? For our test program, we purchased a 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Sport Hybrid, and in this episode we share our first impressions. We cover ride comfort, handling, controls, safety technology, and take a close look at Subaru's new hybrid powertrain. We also answer audience questions about repairing older vehicles versus upgrading—and whether buying a first-year redesigned model is a good idea, even when it comes from a reliable manufacturer like Subaru.   Join CR at https://CR.org/joinviaYT to access our comprehensive ratings for items you use every day.

This week on America on the Road, co-hosts Jack Nerad and Chris Teague get behind the wheels of two fascinating 2025 and 2026 model-year vehicles that approach electrification from very different angles. Jack tests the refreshed 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited AWD, an EV that combines futuristic design, high-speed charging, and luxury-grade comfort. Meanwhile, Chris reviews the all-new 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Sport Hybrid, which brings a new hybrid powertrain and off-road chops to a beloved crossover. And in our special guest segment, Jack sits down with Polestar 4 Product Manager Ola Aldensjö to discuss the Swedish automaker's sleek new battery-electric SUV and its first-of-its-kind lane-level AI navigation system.

Ever wondered what it would be like to cross America primarily on dirt roads? Andy and Mercedes Lilienthal let us ride shotgun on their extraordinary Transamerica Trail adventure – a jaw-dropping 7,100-mile journey with over 3,100 miles on unpaved terrain, all completed in just 29 days.The couple's modified 2025 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness proved remarkably capable, conquering elevations approaching 13,000 feet in Colorado and withstanding temperatures ranging from freezing to a sweltering 111°F in Moab. Their detailed walkthrough of the vehicle's modifications reveals the thoughtful preparation behind such an ambitious journey – from the Thule rooftop tent and ARB awning to the critical Primitive Racing skid plates that protected vital components on rough terrain.What makes their story particularly compelling isn't just the vehicle specs or challenging routes – it's how this journey provided them a completely different perspective on America. Despite both having previously visited all 50 states, experiencing the country from rural backroads allowed them to discover unfamiliar wildlife, connect with locals in remote areas, and witness aspects of American life rarely seen from interstate highways. Perhaps most fittingly, they completed this epic adventure on their 21st wedding anniversary, proving their relationship is as durable as their remarkably capable Subaru.We also feature Don Armstrong's comprehensive review of the 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV, a sleek electric SUV with limousine-like comfort and impressive 615 horsepower performance. Don highlights its sharp exterior design, user-friendly 17-inch infotainment system, and competitive positioning in the premium electric SUV market at $44,600 for base models with the high-performance SS trim testing at $64,180.Subscribe to In Wheel Time for more fascinating automotive adventures, detailed vehicle reviews, and conversations with passionate car enthusiasts who push the boundaries of what's possible on four wheels.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.

John McNamera, a small Buick/GMC dealer on Long Island stole $450mil from GMAC from 1980-1991 by selling 248,000 conversion vans that didn't exist. How did he get caught? GMAC finally figured out that the vans had no VINs. Steve-0 talks about it and how it happened right near where he grew up. Have you noticed the e-Bike boom? Our trauma surgeon Dr Stephan Moran talks about how they're just as dangerous as you think they are, both for the riders and the pedestrians they hit.Steve-0 recently drove a base Subaru Crosstrek. Once he got over the cheap interior plastics and terrible continuously variable transmission, he fell in love with the simple HVAC controls, manual seat adjustments, and other low rent features. It's a nice car!Finally, Dr Moran talks about the just-launched Ford Mustang GTD that starts at an astounding $327,960. That's a big number, but since it's a racing car for the street, it's not unreasonable. Dr Moran wants one!#carsoncallpodcast #mustanggtd #GMACponzi #GMACscandal #subarucrosstrek #carsoncallpodcast #mustanggtd #GMACponzi
