Why Automakers DON'T Make Cars for You Anymore

Matt Farah pulls up to the SCR Garage to break down the Aston Martin Vantage S and Aston Martin Valhalla, debate carmakers' million-dollar hypercar obsession, and drop a rumor about a Porsche GT3 Touring Cabriolet. Plus: a road rage incident at the Brentwood Country Club, Daniel Craig shilling for a Chinese EV, and Omega's identity crisis. ______________________________________________ 🫧 Meguiar's - 125 Years of Passion Premium products to clean, restore, and protect your vehicle 📻 Listen to DRIVE with Jim Farley Check out the new season of the Ford CEO's car podcast! 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off plus free shipping with code SPIKE356 🛩️ Luxury Aircraft Solutions - Premier Private Jet Charter Get $250 off your first flight or 3 FREE MONTHS of the Passport Membership with code SPIKE911 GRAB SOME SCR MERCH: GET MORE SCR ON PATREON: ______________________________________________ Matt Farah is in the building, and nothing is off limits. Lieberman calls the Aston Martin Vantage S "sorted" and explains why the roadster beats the coupe. The Valhalla gets a deep dive: 999 units, $1.2M, carbon tub, three electric motors, and an engineer poached from McLaren. Then the guys get into whether hypercars are actually a sustainable business model or just manufacturers chasing ultra-rich buyers while leaving enthusiasts behind. A double-sourced rumor surfaces: Porsche may be building a GT3 Touring Cabriolet, possibly called the "Sport Cab" with prototypes already spotted at Weissach. Other stops on this episode: the Toyota Land Cruiser's identity crisis, a brutal Corvette Z06 crash, Spike's Bronco getting beat up by a caddy from the Brentwood Country Club, and Daniel Craig looking very uncomfortable in Denza EV promo photos. Matt Farah is also giving away a fully optioned Porsche Turbo S! _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Aston Martin Vantage S review 03:00 - Aston Martin Valhalla review 08:20 - Cars aren't made for YOU anymore 12:38 - Porsche is making a GT3 Touring "Sport" Cabriolet 21:10 - 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser review 29:49 - Win a 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo S 34:10 - Spike's INSANE road rage incident 44:24 - How to get out of a speeding ticket 48:29 - How to get out of a speeding ticket 52:13 - Daniel Craig's Chinese EV partnership 56:09 - Why nobody buys Omega watches Learn more about your ad choices.
