WRX Discontinued, V12s Dying & Cars Full of Bugs—What’s Going On?

الوصف

This week’s episode is a deep dive into the current state of the car industry—and honestly, it raises more questions than answers.We break down major news stories including Subaru discontinuing the WRX S4 in Japan, Mercedes phasing out the V12 in favour of V8s with similar power, and Volvo and Volkswagen ranking among the worst in dependability due to software-related issues.At the same time, Mazda is taking a completely different approach by making the next Miata even lighter—going against the industry trend of heavier, more complex cars.Beyond the news, we get into a more unfiltered discussion about what’s really happening to modern cars. Are they actually getting better, or are we losing the driving experience, reliability, and character that made cars enjoyable in the first place?We also talk about our ongoing Nissan Patrol M57 swap project and how close Kalasinga came to buying a diesel BMW X6 instead of the Swift Sport—questionable decisions were almost made.To wrap it up, we share our experience from the recent Motorsports Kenya event and what it revealed about what truly makes a car fun in the real world.This is one of those episodes where we go beyond the headlines and really get into it.Follow Gearhaus on:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itsgearhausInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsgearhaus/WhatsApp: https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb7MoK22Jl8Epvkjrz2IGearhaus is a Palahala Media Group production.
