Episode 419: 2025 BMW M2, 2025 Honda CR-V TrailSport
The Unnamed Automotive Podcast reviews a pair of new cars this week starting with Benjamin's take on the 2025 BMW M2. With plenty of power and a manual gearbox, Benjamin can't help but feel like something is missing with the latest M2. Then Sami checks out the 2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid, which is beyond disappointing. Thanks for listening!"

Show Notes
This week the Unnamed Automotive Podcast is so revved up it's putting Benjamin to sleep! Even while Benjamin does tons of PR for his upcoming book (www.modeluncomic.com) he has time to review a car for us. He jumps into the pilots seat of the 2025 BMW M2, which has been totally redesigned on a new platform and feels very close to its M3/M4 cousins. While boasting plenty of power, and a manual gearbox, Benjamin wonders if there's something missing in the M2's typically exciting sauce.
Then Sami climbs into the 2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid, and comes away unimpressed. Yet another off-roading cosplaying trim arrives on the street with minimal real upgrades to capability and it sends out hosts into disassociation mode. What does Honda think its doing? Listen to find out!
