This year's show starts off with weird, punchy energy as Benjamin tests out the 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid AWD. One of the only hybrid compact sedans at its price point, Toyota takes things a bit further with this model as it throws AWD into the mix. What does that mean for the drivability and efficiency? Does it make sense to get this over the regular Corolla Hybrid? Is this car interesting to drive at all? Benjamin answers these questions and more. Then our hosts dive into a few of the weird and ridiculous ideas that have been revealed at the 2024 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Biometrics and virtual coaching to AI and of course will.i.am are all present and accounted for so be sure to catch every bit of news and jokes from this week's show. Thanks for listening!
Well, this could have gone better, I had two great guests scheduled, but somehow, they both forgot to call in. But it was fine, I had my regulars call in to chat with me.

Wake. Feed. Wrangle toddlers. Curl hair. Watch The Good Wife. Give Fred a life of infant luxury. That's Kelly's maternity leave so far. Oh — and let's not forget nursing while podcasting! If you're posting attention grabbing yet vague statuses on social media, or annoyed by someone else who does, you might find today's millennial word of the day — ‘soft launching' — useful. Lizz is bringing back another feral freeway — her counterpart to Kelly's driveway dump — where she tells us about the reels she watched this week and viral trends she's following. Up this week are tart cherry juice for sleep, doubting that makeup influencers are really in such a rush, and the 10 pumps of foundation trend. Kelly's sharing her favorite newborn baby products in her driveway dump today. She couldn't live without The Shusher, her Halo bassinet, Kyte PJs, and muslin washcloths for Fred. Katie Perry is hopping on the mocktail train and Kelly's ready for a taste drive. A Dyson airwrap recap reveals how Kelly really feels about the (dispensable) hair tool. And Kelly and Lizz answer the question: Is Target overrated lately? Giving equal parts family-essentials and personal splurges, Kelly and Lizz share their last three transactions. Lizz purchased a new pair of the only shoes she wears — Hokas, a washable nursery rug from Rug USA, and maternity biker shorts from Amazon. Kelly went all out with her Tupperware sippy cup buy, matching Hill House dresses for her and Hattie, and a tripod she picked up after being inspired by @cecilybauchmann's everyday content on Instagram. When it comes to height and confidence Lizz has always been the six foot girl wearing six inch stilettos while you'll catch Kelly slouching in the corner. On today's advice segment, the gals give a mom advice on how to support and celebrate her tall five year old. Today's ditch the drive-through comes from Britney — an orange chicken dish that comes together quickly. You'll need a frozen snap pea stir fry mix from Walmart, chicken, Top Ramen, and Panda Express orange chicken sauce to pull this one off! In short and sweet industry news, Consumer Reports names their Top 10 picks of 2023 Cars and include the Toyota Corolla Hybrid, Subaru Forester, and Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid in their lineup. → To share your ditch the drive-through recipe with us, call (959) CAR-POOL and leave us a message! → Want our advice on literally anything?

Selecting the cars of the year helps celebrate another year reviewing new cars and trucks, visiting auto shows and talking with vintage car owners, book authors and industry experts about their cars of the year. There are always great and not-so-great moments driving vehicles. The industry is always abuzz. There are always changes, oddball statistics, recalls and new models and makes. What has Elon Musk done now? Will autonomous driving and EVs ever make a significant difference? Will low-profile tires stop blowing while negotiating small divots in the road? Will Audi ever change its front-grille design? As much as the automotive industry changes, sometimes not much happens. In 2007, the year the iPhone debuted, the starting price of the Toyota Corolla was $14,925; In 2022, the year a robotic toy cat that nibbles for human comfort made its debut, the starting price of a Toyota Corolla was $20,245. The average price of a new car in 2007 was $27,958. In 2022, the new car price average surpassed $48,000. Three years after TheWeeklyDriver.com debuted, I began to compile a list of top-10 cars of the year. It was also in 2007. The list is now in its 16th year. The 2022 Ford Lightning is the first full-size electric pickup truck. It was on the TheWeeklyDriver.com's list of cars of the year. Image © James Raia/2022. As co-hosts of The Weekly Driver Podcast, Bruce Aldrich and I have expanded my yearly list of cars of the year and detailed the choices during a podcast episode. We're now in our sixth year. Many automotive publications select their best vehicles of the year at the start of the calendar year. I've always announced the selections at the end of the year. Bruce and I agree it's a better approach while reviewing current model year cars throughout the calendar year. Sometimes, a new year's model debuts prior to its corresponding calendar year. Sometimes, new models arrive later in the year. The 2017 Bentley Bentayga is the fastest SUV ever made. It topped TheWeeklyDriver.com's list of cars of the year in 2017. Image © Michael Kahn/Frogstone Media, 2017. This year, as per usual, I reviewed about 40 cars. Bruce also drove most of them, often to lunch after our podcasts and sometimes for extended review sessions. For several years, we made videos before switching to a podcast format. During some years, we've picked a car of the year, like the 2020 Corvette Stingray, the debut year of the mid-engine model. In 2017, the Bentley Bentayga was easily our favorite. In our 250th episode, Bruce and I discuss our respective lists of cars of the year, an exercise we compile individually and then share during the podcast. We mostly make the same selections. The 2020 Corvette stunned the auto world with its mid-engine design and new interior and exterior styling. It was theweeklydriver.com's top pick for 2020 Cars of the Year. Image © James Raia. One exception this year: Bruce selected the BMW M3 Competition; it didn't make my list. We didn't pick a top car of the year in 2022, but we agreed the Ford Lighting was the vehicle we liked the most for its innovation in the expanding electric vehicle segment. The rest of the list doesn't represent the most expensive, most powerful or most of anything else. It's just 10 cars and trucks that stood out for a reason or two. My lists dating to 2004 are listed below. Follow the year links for more details on each vehicle. Bruce discusses his list on the podcast episode. Enjoy. 2022 Ford Lightning, Genesis GV70, Kia EV6, Mercedes-AMG ESQ, Cadillac CT5, Mazda MX-5 Miata, Genesis G70, Toyota Corolla Hybrid, Mercedes-Maybach, Subaru Outback. 2021 Honda Odyssey, Honda Accord Hybrid, Chevrolet Silverado, Ford F-150, Genesis GV80, Toyota RAV4 Prime XSE, Genesis GV90, Aston Martin Vantage, Mustang Mach-E, Rolls-Royce Ghost 2020 Corvette Stingray, Aston Martin Vantage, Genesis G90, Ford Bullitt Mustang, Hyundai Palisade, Jeep Gladiator,

New to our test fleet this week is the 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid we purchased for testing at our track. With the same hybrid system as the Prius, and built on the same platform as the well-performing Corolla Hatchback, is Toyota's new offering the best of both worlds?

Themen heute: Handyversicherung – gar nicht mal so smart /// Toyota produziert Hybridgetriebe in Polen 1. Smartphones sind aus dem Alltag kaum mehr wegzudenken. Die Handys kosten meist mehrere hundert Euro, die neueste iPhone-Generation sogar bis zu 1.700 Euro. Kein Wunder, dass der kleine Begleiter vielen lieb und teuer ist. Eine Versicherung für das Gerät gleich beim Kauf mit abzuschließen, scheint daher auf den ersten Blick vernünftig. „Wer jedoch genauer hinsieht, wird schnell merken, dass die Versicherung alles andere als sinnvoll ist“, sagt man beim Bund der Versicherten e. V. (BdV). Der BdV sieht in den Produkten eher eine smarte Geschäftsidee zum Vorteil der Versicherer und Vermittler als einen smarten Schutz. Ein Smartphone ist nicht nur begehrtes Diebesgut, es ist auch schnell einmal heruntergefallen. Da erscheint es sinnvoll, das gute Stück zu versichern. Doch die auf dem Markt erhältlichen Handyversicherungen bieten meist nicht den Schutz, den sich die Zielgruppe von ihnen verspricht. „Das fängt schon damit an, dass die Handyversicherung meist eine Zeitwertversicherung ist. Sie erstattet also keineswegs den Kaufpreis, sondern nur den aktuellen Wert des Telefons – und der Wertverfall bei Handys ist hoch“, erläutert man. Zudem wird im Schadenfall meist eine Selbstbeteiligung fällig, die sich an der Höhe des Kaufpreises orientiert. „Ein weiteres Manko ist der oft fehlende Diebstahlschutz. Dieser muss meist gegen einen zusätzlichen Betrag erworben werden“. Das erhöht die scheinbar günstigen Versicherungsprämien – oft sogar um das Doppelte. Und auch dann kann es im Fall eines Diebstahls noch zur Leistungsverweigerung kommen, wenn das Handy nicht ständig beaufsichtigt wurde. 2. Aus Europa, für Europa: Toyota produziert ab sofort Hybridgetriebe auch in Polen. Bei Toyota Motor Manufacturing Poland (TMMP) in Walbrzych (Waldenburg) wurde jetzt eine Fertigungslinie für die vierte Getriebe-Generation eröffnet. Sie kommt vor allem im neuen Toyota Corolla Hybrid sowie im Toyota C-HR zum Einsatz. Mit dem Produktionsbeginn startet die erste Phase zur Einführung der fortschrittlichen Hybridtechnologie und der Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) in polnischen Werken. Toyota leistet damit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur weiteren Elektrifizierung der polnischen Automobilindustrie. In Verbindung mit weiteren Investitionen werden etwa 600 neue Arbeitsplätze geschaffen, kumuliert hat Toyota mehr als eine Milliarde Euro in das Land investiert. Walbrzych ist das erste Werk außerhalb Asiens und erst das zweite außerhalb der Heimat Japan, das mit der Produktion der fortschrittlichen und komplexen Hybridgetriebe betraut wird.
