* 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander GT (Joel)

* 2011 MazdaSpeed3 (Joel)

* 2011 Infiniti QX56 (Zane)

Talking Points:

* Porsche 918 RSR Concept

* Toyota Prius V

Thanks for the great podcast.

I always enjoy listening to the show.

Not sure I always agree with all the insights but I certainly enjoy them.

Looking forward to the next show!
