Note sull'episodio
From a $25,000 daily driver celebrating six decades on the road to a $170,000 off-road powerhouse with 626 horsepower, this episode of You Auto Know with Dave Stall covers just about every corner of the automotive world. Dave talks with Blake Williams from Toyota about the Corolla’s 60th anniversary and the limited-edition Corolla Hybrid, with only 2,500 units planned for the U.S. The conversation explores how the Corolla evolved from a simple family car into one of Toyota’s most recognizable nameplates, along with the growing Corolla family and why Dave’s longtime recommendation remains simple: “Just get a Corolla.”
Kristen Barclay then takes on the redesigned Subaru Outback, including the controversial new styling. While longtime Subaru fans may need time to adjust to its boxier appearance, Kristen finds plenty to like underneath it, including symmetrical all-wheel drive, 8.7 inches of ground clearance, 80.5 cubic feet of cargo space, an improved 12.1-inch infotainment system, and a 260-horsepower turbocharged engine in the Touring XT. Her advice? Don’t make up your mind from the pictures—go drive one.
Brian Armstead follows with two dramatically different luxury SUVs. He’s unimpressed with the 2027 Infiniti QX65, questioning whether its performance and overall package justify the premium price. His reaction to the 2026 Land Rover Defender 110 OCTA Black couldn’t be more different. With a 4.4-liter twin-turbo mild-hybrid V8 producing 626 horsepower and serious off-road capability, the roughly $170,000 Defender makes a much stronger impression. Dave also shares his hands-on experience with the 2026 Toyota 4Runner, rounding out an episode packed with new-car reviews, buying advice, performance, technology, and candid opinions about which vehicles deserve your money.
Listen to the full episode for the complete reviews and find out which new vehicles impressed the crew—and which ones they’d leave sitting on the dealer lot.
