Episodes
Supercars Are Different Now
The definition of a supercar has to shift. Hypercars are still insane, and they look the part, but the idea of a supercar doesn't mean what it used to. Now, a supercar is quiet, has room for your family and friends, and can deliver spine-crunching acceleration—while still delivering exceptional range and even a luxurious driving experience. Don't agree? This episode might change your mind.
Ultimate Supertruck
If you're going to have a truck, you might as well have a supertruck. The only problem is Jeff and Jonny can't seem to decide on which is best, or even what the definition of a supertruck is! Is it all about looks? What about how it sounds? Don't forget how it drives -- can it jump? Is it all about horsepower, or torque? Can it be electric? And does it matter if it can even do truck things?
Small Cars, Size Matters
There is one area of the car market that no EV maker has yet cracked: hot hatches. They're small, nimble, fun… all the things that EVs aren't. So, with electricity out, we turn to our old friend gasoline, and the question remains: Which is the best hot hatch on the market today? The Toyota GR Corolla or the Honda Civic Type R?
Real Ultimate Driving Machine
BMW began making performance M cars over 50 years ago, coining the catchphrase "ultimate driving machine" and running with it. For many years, BMW was the undisputed fast sedan king, but in recent years things have changed. With some saying the carmaker has been focusing more on looks than performance, has BMW lost the right to wear the crown?
Excessive Excess
Not only are these two of the quickest SUVs in town, they're also among the most excessive. Nothing this big and heavy needs to go this quickly, or cost this much, or be painted this bright -- and yet here we are! On this episode, we pit the Rivian R1S against the Lamborghini Urus, and we're going to find out which is best.
Holiday Showdown
Strap on your Santa hats, Head 2 Head Drag Race Holiday Showdown is coming in like a pack of reindeer on a frozen lake. Jonny and Jeff invite some of MotorTrend's favorite talent out to compete in some fun holiday spirit-racing.
Standard of the World: Cadillac CT5-V vs Mercedes AMG EQE
Now, as we enter the winter of combustion-only vehicles and the dawn of our electrified future, both Mercedes and Cadillac have pledged to move toward a fully EV future. Mercedes has gotten the jump on Cadillac with the AMG EQE, a fully electric performance sedan, but how does it compare against the best of American combustion?
How Good Is the Dark Horse?
With the new eighth-generation Mustang, has the Dark Horse finally made the switch from muscle car with some sporty upgrades to being a real sports car? Jonny remains unconvinced, so he and Jeff are putting it up against a tried-and-true two-door from Porsche to see if the Ford can keep up.

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
