Welcome back to The Gassing Station! The year may be winding down, but we’ve still got plenty of reviews and news to cover. Today's episode kick's off with Sam’s take on the Alpine A390 electric crossover and his chat with company CEO Philippe Krief, who hinted the next A110 could run a hybrid combustion engine despite its EV platform.

Then there’s Toyota’s new GR GT: a Gazoo-built, twin-turbo V8 monster that has us wondering if Toyota is now the most exciting enthusiast brand, especially with the electric Lexus LFA Concept alongside it.

We also help PHer Kingdom35 find a “classy” £20k upgrade, and dig into the cars people love to hate but are secretly great.
