First 90 secondsTodd Deeken· Host0:01
Well, hello again. Welcome back to the podcast. Happy Tuesday. Thrilled to have you with us. We do have our latest video coming up later this week. That is the, uh, Kia K4 hatchback- Mm-hmm ... versus the Honda Civic, which we also think is its primary competitor. So it's cool to see K- uh, Kia actually doing a hatchback version of the K4. It's much better looking.
Paul Schmucker· Host0:19
It's a wagon. It's a wagon.
Todd Deeken· Host0:21
Mm-hmm.
Paul Schmucker· Host0:21
Everyone, it's a- It is a wagon ... it's a wagon. [laughs] They're, they're just toe in the pool to see how- Yes ... people like it.
Todd Deeken· Host0:28
You're totally right.
Paul Schmucker· Host0:28
Will customers buy this?
Todd Deeken· Host0:29
You're totally right. Yep.
Paul Schmucker· Host0:30
We're not calling it a wagon, but it's a wagon.
Todd Deeken· Host0:31
Yes. So we're do- [laughs] we're doing that later this week.
Paul Schmucker· Host0:33
It's like Toyota [laughs] with their Crown. The- Yeah.
Todd Deeken· Host0:36
[laughs] Yeah. The Crown Signia.
Paul Schmucker· Host0:38
It's not a wagon, it's a wagon.
Todd Deeken· Host0:39
It's an SUV. [laughs] It's, uh... Well, also interesting that you bring that up because they introduced that right at the minute Subaru goes, "That's enough. We're not doing wagons anymore."
Paul Schmucker· Host0:46
Yeah, no more wagons.
Todd Deeken· Host0:47
You know?
Paul Schmucker· Host0:47
We're going SUVs 'cause that's what everybody buys.
Todd Deeken· Host0:48
So I, I, I just really want the wagon thing to come around. Anyway, let's hope for the best. So that piece comes out, uh, later this week, on, on Thursday, so hope you watch that. Welcome back to the podcast with all of the things, the news, three car debates, some questions. There's a lot to run through, so we're gonna dive right in.
Paul Schmucker· Host1:02
Yeah. We're, uh, leaning heavily into the car debates again.
Todd Deeken· Host1:04
We're getting a lot of them. It's great.
Paul Schmucker· Host1:06
It's good.
Todd Deeken· Host1:06
I love it. Thank you, guys, for that. It's really good.
Paul Schmucker· Host1:08
Let's start with news up front. Does Porsche know their customer, or do they know their customer? [sighs] Do they know their customer or what?
Todd Deeken· Host1:16
You and I are gonna be split on this, I think.
Paul Schmucker· Host1:20
Maybe.
Todd Deeken· Host1:20
We'll see. We'll see.
Paul Schmucker· Host1:20
Maybe.
Todd Deeken· Host1:20

Todd Deeken· Host1:29
Mm-hmm.
Paul Schmucker· Host1:29
So there is a
