GrandSport Returns, Stunting Your Driving Growth, Bucketing Car Enthusiasts | Episode 1,039

Author: Everyday Driver March 31, 2026 Duration: 1:27:33
The Corvette GrandSport designation has returned, now applied to the C8 generation! The guys discuss the new 6.7L V8 engine, plus news from around the industry. They debate fun yet responsible cars for Chris in Maryland, who is fighting the mid-life practicality vs. desire. Then, Drew is shopping for his wife (who doesn’t drive much), and is intrigued by all these EVs coming off lease. Should he investigate further? Social media questions ask if we’ve gone backwards with base-level small engines, what kind of car should Subaru build next, and if convertibles increase a driver’s connection with the road, why don’t the guys like them very much? Audio-only MP3 is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and 10 other platforms.

You’re probably familiar with Paul and Todd from their car review films, but here they step out from behind the camera and settle in for a different kind of conversation. Everyday Driver Car Debate is where those two distinct perspectives really come to life, often clashing in the best possible way. Instead of polished video segments, this podcast captures their unfiltered back-and-forth as they tackle questions from listeners trying to navigate the confusing world of car buying. They dig into the practical realities of ownership, from budget sedans to weekend toys, always aiming to help you find the right fit for your garage and your life. Naturally, disagreement is a core ingredient-one might champion driving engagement while the other argues for daily comfort, giving you a balanced look at every option. You’ll also get a peek behind the scenes of their filmmaking process and hear their casual takes on wider industry news. It feels less like a formal show and more like eavesdropping on a lasting conversation between two knowledgeable-and stubborn-friends. The result is a surprisingly useful and consistently entertaining listen for anyone who thinks about cars more than they’d like to admit.
