  1. Buick's New Sedan, 1000-Pound Caterham, Elon is Distracted 56:09

The hosts open the show discussing Jill’s recent interview with the head of Infiniti USA regarding–among other things–the possible comeback of the humble sedan. This conversation dovetails nicely with Tom’s news regarding the likely comeback of a Buick midsize sedan–and a possible Camaro, as well.

Jill shared impressions of a would-be annual Land Rover event dubbed Defender Trophy Competition. The event would mirror the legendary Camel Trophy competitions of the Seventies and Eighties.

Still in the first segment, Jill reviews the Range Rover SE premium large crossover. Listen in for her take on this off-road-ready luxury hauler.

In the second segment, the hosts chat with Caterham’s Simon Sproule about the carmaker’s tiny sports cars. Listen in for details regarding the history of Caterham, as well as U.S. availability of these storied automobiles.

In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom’s “Which Sold Better?” quiz, including a special Talking Heads bonus question.

After the quiz, Tom talks about Elon Musk, and how apparently distracted he is from from developing his core automotive products.
