Mike Herzing and Jeremy Birenbaum cover this week’s automotive headlines: Kia retires the Soul, Nissan teases a returning Xterra, Ram’s Hemi boost drives sales, and Toyota issues safety recalls. They review the 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid, answer listener questions about oil use in modern Audis, and discuss smart classic buys from the 1980s.

Lots of great memories and fun time on this weeks show!
