Episode 276: 2022 Rolls-Royce Phantom, 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata
Whoa, a Rolls-Royce and a Miata on the same show? First Sami describes the latest changes to the 2022 Rolls-Royce Phantom, which are mostly about giant wheels and sparkles in the headlights. Then Benjamin dives into the new 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata, which still has him grinning from ear-to-ear thanks to its open-air brilliance. He also answers whether you should get a Club model or RF, which turns out to be a trick question! Hear it and laugh, but don't forget to subscribe and review at unnamedautomotivepodcast.com!

Show Notes
Welcome to the "Oops! All bangers!" edition of the Unnamed Automotive Podcast, where Ben and Sami dive into two of the coolest cars around. First Sami talks about the eighth-generation Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II that he drove (and was driven in) through Nice and Monaco. He talks how the company spent five years developing new wheel designs, and put twinkling stars in the headlight enclosures before describing the various customized models he got to check out before discussing the ultra luxury market and its clientele in detail.
Then Benjamin gets ample time to chat about the one of best cars on the market for automotive enthusiasts: the 2022 Mazdza MX-5 Miata. He tested the SOLD OUT Club model, describes what's important about that model, and decides whether it's worth buying above the base edition. Of course he also brings up the Japanese automaker's new direction in the automotive industry, and whether the Miata will ever be this good again.
