Episode 404: 2025 Honda Odyssey Black Edition, 2025 Cadillac CT5, Slate EV Pickup
This weeks episode stays immediately flies off the seat rails, but the guys reel it back to provide a pair of fun reviews. Sami starts the show off with his take on the 2025 Honda Odyssey, a minivan that lacks the hybrid or all-wheel-drive flair of its rivals, but still feels plenty family friendly. Then Benjamin takes the 2025 Cadillac CT5 out for a spin, urging luxury car buyers to give it a look before signing a crippling contract with a European or Japanese brand. Finally the show discusses the new, affordable and customizable Slate EV pickup.

Show Notes
Why isn't a minivan considered a "long roof"? Why don't we name all cars based on their roofs? What's the right plural of roof? These questions and more are answered this week on the Unnamed Automotive Podcast! The show starts off with a review of the 2025 Honda Odyssey minivan, as Sami wonders why this Japanese van lacks the fun features many of its rivals have (and explains where the HondaVac went to.) But he comes across loving its single-minded approach to family transportation. What's holding the Odyssey, and other minivans, from getting widepsread appreciation? The guys give you the definitive answer.
Then Benjamn shares his thoughts on the 2025 Cadillac CT5 - the entry-level model to boot! A tweener sedan with a high-tech cabin, the CT5 is likely missing on many buyers short-lists, but Ben says it may have earned a spot among those checking out smaller and less featured European options.
Finally, our guys talk about the new Slate EV, a bare-bones $25,000 EV pickup a ton of customizability. Is this what people want? Let us know through our contact form or reach out to us on social media!
