Episode 80: 2018 Audi RS5, 2018 BMW X1, 2018 Volvo XC40, Autonomous Goodwood Fail
The 2018 Audi RS5 is radically different from its predecessor, and after 1,000 miles behind the wheel Benjamin is ready to decide whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. Sami goes to bat for the 2018 Volvo XC40 against the strong-selling 2018 BMW X1 in a battle of the entry-level luxury SUVs, while the pair both make merry about what happens when an autonomous car drives itself head-first into a bale of hay at Goodwood.

Show Notes
What happens when you swap a high-revving V8 for a twin-turbo V6? The 2018 Audi RS5 answers that question with surprising authority, according to Benjamin after he spend 1,000 miles behind the wheel delving into the soul of Audi's latest sports car. Sami decides it's time to ditch Germany and embrace Sweden (by way of China) if you're in the market for a small luxury SUV as he throws his weight behind the 2018 Volvo XC40 versus the 2018 BMW X1. Finally, the pair enjoy some autonomous car schaudenfreude courtesy of Goodwood.
