Show Notes
Can the 2018 Hyundai Accent stay relevant in a world where people seem exclusively interested in crossovers and SUVs? Benjamin had the chance to drive the redesigned Accent in the Nevada desert and came back with some insights on the future of small cars in America. Sami stayed home for an in-depth comparison of the Toyota Camry versus the Hyundai Sonata, and was shocked by how the challenger has unseated the juggernaut of family sedan sales. Finally, Benjamin gets his first taste of the Honda Civic Type R, and spills the beans on a Canada-only secret: the Nissan Micra.
