Speaker 6I haven't ridden a fat boy before, isn't is that a motorcycle?
I know you're quite fond of.
Speaker 4Them, well as a fat boy myself, Jack Leo, I can tell you right now.
Speaker 3The Driver's Show with Paul Marrick and Gordy Waters.
Speaker 4Oh do you want to do the intro this week?
Speaker 5Yeah?
Speaker 3Sure, go on?
Speaker 4Hello everyone, Okay, stop, welcome.
You are dressed like a Jehovah's witness today.
Speaker 3Yes.
Speaker 5I was actually hoping we could sit down and talk.
Speaker 3I'm ready to convert.
Yeah good, Yeah, I'm ready to find Jesus.
Speaker 5Yeah.
Speaker 6It was funny you walked out to open the door for me, and I thought we could not be further apart in terms of how we're dressed.
Speaker 4Yeah, Usually it's the other way around.
Usually I'm quite well equipped.
Speaker 5What's going on around here?
It seems like it's a little grim in the radio world.
Speaker 4Have you noticed the lights are out?
Basically now looks like a cryptocurrency office has been raided.
Speaker 6I take your clothes off you when you come in.
They're like, no, no, we're going to sell that.
You're going to wear this now?
Speaker 3Yes, yes, put on this smock.
This is how.
Speaker 5We're close out for the day.
Speaker 4So you've got your polo top on, You've got your bloody roll Ex terrible band.
Speaker 3You really should look at something else?
Yes, anything?
Speaker 5Have you been?
Speaker 3Have you hopped in anything interesting lately?
Because here's my thing.
There is nothing.
Speaker 4I I am not that excited by anything coming out at the moment.
Yeah.
Speaker 6So I'll be taking off for the Tokyo Motor Show next week.
Okay, so hopefully there's some exciting stuff going on there.
We're hopefully going to see the new high Lux.
We'll have some details on that soon.
But I was actually at gwm's tech day to David tech Day at the proving ground and I had a chance to drive a couple of interesting things.
So part of what g WM's doing in Australia, they've employed Rob Triviani, who's their former who is the former ride and handling boss for Holden, and he's been working furiously away and we obviously see him at the proven ground when we're filming doing stuff.
And I finally had a chance to drive one of his projects, which was a new sort of ride tune for the H six plug in Hybrid.
Speaker 3That's cool.
Speaker 4So he's the guy who's kind of responsible for tuning these cars to Australian conditions and he's.
Speaker 6Done a good job.
It is fantastic.
It's like night and day in terms of the Chinese tune versus his tune.
Speaker 3So what is this you're talking about?
Speaker 6So it was the ride in handling tune for the H six plug in Hybrid.
So that's been available for a little while in like a Coupei swoop back type trim, but now it's like the normal suv shape.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, the Age six Yeah yeah, yeah, that's like a GT version.
Speaker 6Yeah, this is just the normal one.
So it's still zero to one hundred and like four point seven seconds.
We actually published a drag race where we drag race the niss and Z the ad E S five e Vant.
One of our employees his WRXSTI and Tesla motte Y and it was pretty impressive to see how quick it was.
But during the tech day, actually let us have a drive of two things.
One is the GWM Tank seven hundred.
Speaker 3Yeah, I heard about this.
Speaker 6This mean it's like a Rolls Royce like it's it's basically a Rolls Royce that's off road capable, so air suspension, front and rear, diff lock, center diff lock, plug in hybrid with a twin turbo petrol V six and like a thirty seven killer at our battery.
Speaker 5So it is this.
Speaker 6Enormous package and inside it is high end luxury stuff.
It is an impressive thing.
So they haven't confirmed it's coming to Australia yet, but that car is about one hundred thousand dollars in China, so if it did come to Australia, we're talking about one hundred thousand dollars proposition.
Last time we're at the Shanghai Motor Show, they announced they're doing a V eight.
They're producing vight, so.
Speaker 3Still that it wasn't that on the tank three hundred though, Yeah.
Speaker 5But I think it was like a concept thing.
Speaker 6I reckon they would stick it in the tank seven hundred because it's due for a life cycle replacement.
Speaker 5So exciting stuff there.
There was also they want to.
Speaker 6Launch the Way brand in Australia and they had a people mover and this thing was unreal.
It's got in the second row, you've got captain's chairs with massaging, reclined heating, cooling, a big screen that flips down from the centa.
You've got three screens ahead of the driver.
And this is another like five seconds zero to one hundred car.
It's just amazing what is available in China that we don't have in Australia.
Because this is another car that's about the sort of eighty thousand dollar mark, but equivalent Lexus in the LM is like a two hundred and fifty thousand dollar car.
So to think that you can get this, which is much faster, much more luxurious, I just think that there's potential for some of these cars to sell pretty impressively.
Speaker 4Remember when we got news of the BMW seven series, and I remember when that came out, like the the screen came out for the second row.
Speaker 3We were like, holy shit, look at that.
That's amazing.
Speaker 4Now, Nah, China are like, hold my bier did somebody say massage, seeds and.
Speaker 3A blow job to all we got you got.
Speaker 5Your covered daarlly?
Speaker 6Yeah, but yeah, and even by d they're bringing out the.
Speaker 5One two, the Sea Lion.
This is the thing.
I've lost track of all their cars.
Speaker 6But the two that I'm interested in, the Denzas, the B six and the B eight, I think they are.
They're basically like the Shark, but with front rear diff locks and off road capable, so.
Speaker 5There is It is really confusing.
Speaker 3Part of the reason, did you say the Shark is now off road capable?
Speaker 4No?
Speaker 6No, no, but that's what it should have been.
But this is like the same sort of drive train, but with actual stuff in it.
Part of the reason I'm so dressed up today is we did our upfronts, and the upfront so were basically we pitched to advertisers to advertise with us.
Speaker 3But you beg them for money.
You hold out your little hands and.
Speaker 7Please please give me a little bit of last.
I'm just a poor boy on YouTube pointing to the cup holders with my girometer.
I had to sleep with a big fat woman in regional Victorian just.
Speaker 5To fill up my electric car.
Please, That's basically that.
Speaker 6But part of the research that we did for the Upfronts is looking at how many cars are on sale.
So at the moment, there are over four hundred models available in Australia and that is just models.
Each of those models will have variants.
There's potentially thousands of variants on sale.
You imagine how confusing it is for a consumer when someone like BYD goes, oh, well, I've got six new things coming.
Then you got like thirty other Chinese brands that are coming soon as well, half of which you've never heard of.
So it is becoming a confusing space.
And part of the thing I could see in this room of advertisers is traditional car brands they're getting a little bit concerned because it's not as easy as just pulling the ad lever and spending more on TV and doing all this sort of stuff.
It's now a case of well, people are now just looking at price.
That is one of the part of the research that we did with Nielsen.
It was like an interview of a thousand people and one of the biggest drivers is price and where the car is manufactured.
We've done this same survey over the past three years.
Where the cars manufactured is becoming less of a concern for most buyers.
So that's telling you that price is a factor.
They don't care where it's made, which means why would I go and buy a Masda or a Toyota or.
Speaker 4Some other he's expensive and legacy brands.
You know, I think we're going to be a very interesting test case because you look at the state of Australia with these car brands coming in, thousands and thousands of them, and we're already We'll talk about Toyota later on, but if you look at a brand like Toyota, we're already pretty We get a generous amount of different models, say, from a lot of different brands.
Speaker 3So you kind of look at us and right now where we're.
Speaker 4About to be engulfed by all these different brands, more than probably most countries in the world.
And it'll be interesting to see watch this space in a couple of years time to see how we perform.
Yeah, I mean at her market.
Have a look at Mitsubishi.
Speaker 6They've just replaced the Ax with Reno.
Yeah, that's like fifteen thousand dollars more expensive.
So Mitsubishi used to be about value and good warranty coverage.
Speaker 3They've got any performance, like in terms of like they were that's dead now.
Yeah, they were.
Speaker 4Coming out with solid cars, but I mean the Trenton just hasn't matched.
Speaker 6And you look at this this Ax that they've launched and it's outrageously overpriced.
Yes it's got a warranty, but it's just a reno basically.
Speaker 3Come on, it's got two tone.
Yeah.
Speaker 6I just I'm just like, what do you stand for now?
Just another brand?
You're not competing with anyone with that car.
So I just think we're going to see some of these brands, legacy brands really starting to hurt.
They're going to really start deteriorating in terms of their offering and how competitive they are because people just no longer give a shit whether they're buying a Chinese car or not.
They just want value for money.
Speaker 8Yeah.
Speaker 4Speaking of which value for money, you see Tesla's trimming down their bits and pieces.
Speaker 5I don't hate it.
Speaker 4Yeah, look I get it, but also you're taking away the coolest bits of the car just to make it cheaper.
Like I know, it's like useless, but I'm saying like, visually, you've got a boring car to start with.
You look at say the light bar in the back that's gone.
However, I think I know the stalk has been there set.
Speaker 6They've taken the screen out from the back, which is the most useless feed.
Yes, yeah, I agree with that, but the roof is weird, so I could take or leave the glass roof because it just makes the cabin too hot.
Speaker 5That they haven't figured that out.
Speaker 4Yet and a lot of people will get like after market shades for those.
Speaker 6Anyway, what they've done now is they've kept the glass on the outside but put like a fishing roof inside.
Speaker 5What the fuck?
Why would you not just put.
Speaker 4It reminds me of those sketchy shops where you're just like, what's going on there?
They put aluminum foil behind the glass that.
Speaker 5I don't get.
It's like, remove the glass that I'd be happy with that there's no drama.
Yeah, and then the cloth seats.
Speaker 6It's like, ah, come on, let's just take it easy because you're removing the cooling seats, which is one of the great things they actually added.
So this isn't coming to Australia.
These cut price cars are just for the US.
Oh okay, but I think there is a price cut on the horizon in Australia.
I've been saying this for a little while, but before their last sprint last quarter they had three thousand dollars off Model three and Model Y.
They had further discounts on previous generation cars that were in inventory, something like fourteen thousand dollars off.
So I think that we're going to see a further reduction in pricing, which you know, I think is is just due to the competition in the market.
They can no longer move the volume they are moving at the price that they're moving it at.
So I think we're going to see reductions there as competition increases.
And I'm all for it because I want to buy it another model hy But I'm certain, yeah, I'm certain there's a little reduction around the corner.
So it's going to hold out just a little bit longer to see what happens closer to the end of this quarter.
Speaker 3And to pop my name down EV price drop.
I can't believe you're jumping back in.
Speaker 4Tesla EV price drops, right.
I know there's one on the Cherry the yng day insta, Oh my god, that's what we haven't talked about.
Speaker 6The Hynda Institut that didn't wasn't successful at the outrageous price they launched it.
Speaker 3That's forty three thousand dollars.
Speaker 5That's so weird.
That must be a mistake.
Speaker 3Now under forty thousand dollars.
Speaker 5But did you see the Ionic six.
They virtually are yeah, we will give.
Speaker 6You money if you just come and take this away from the dealership.
But they're all twenty three cars.
Speaker 4They've gone from seventy seven thousand, five hundred to under fifty thousand with that one.
Speaker 6That is importantly for anyone listening, that is any twenty three car.
It is you're driving a car with a battery that has been sitting dormant effectively for the.
Speaker 5Past two or three years.
And I don't know, I love that.
Well, those cars are brand new.
It could have been sitting there.
Speaker 6Yeah, it's not like someone's driving them and charging them.
Well, I don't think they're driving them and charging them frequently, so I'd be concerned about it.
Speaker 3Would that be current?
Speaker 4But yeah, would that be covered by some sort of warrant to be a way of finding that stuff out?
Speaker 6Sure it is, but a warranty, you know for a battery is typically eight years.
Speaker 3I don't know.
Poster two from sixty eight to fifty five.
The still expensive that's.
Speaker 4Gone from sixty to a far out forty seven thousand dollars.
The ID four by Volkswagen has gone from a sixty five thousand dollar car.
Speaker 3To sixty two.
That's nothing tight ass.
Speaker 4I like that little in stuff, but it is it is on the prices side.
I think they're doing the right thing by putting it under forty thousand.
And I also think the best one to get is the most expensive one to get of that one, which was like they kind of put this.
Speaker 3Roof rack thing on it.
It's just a style for me.
Speaker 6It's just like, look you look at the Addo one and two.
Yeah, I mean they are probably going to be in the twenties.
Yep, we're going to start in the twenties.
So why on earth would you pay almost double that?
Speaker 4And that'll sell a packet of those?
How much is the how much is the Model three now?
Speaker 6I think it's fifty mid fifties plus on roads?
Speaker 3Yeah, starting see.
Speaker 4I know, like the Ionic six, for instance, has a lot of people going there.
Speaker 3I don't like that car.
Speaker 4I personally like love parts of it and hate parts of it, But I mean that's now under fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 5That's the thing.
Speaker 6If you're not concerned about the way that it looks, which is the reason it's not selling.
Speaker 5It is a good value car at that.
Speaker 6Which a great drive.
It's a great dri drive.
Yeah, the infertainment system sucks a bit.
It's a bit sort of lag in crap.
But if you need value for money, you get the FBT exemption if you do it on a Novate at least, so there's value to be happy.
Speaker 3Hmmm, what else were we going to talk about?
Oh?
Speaker 5Yes, the FJ.
Speaker 3Yeah, the baby land Cruiser.
Speaker 5This is interesting because it's been rumored for ages.
Speaker 4And ages and do you know what can I ask you?
When they first dropped the designs of it, and we know the popularity of the Toyota FJ here was huge.
When you saw the designs, did you think that was a true FJ.
Speaker 3Oh?
Speaker 5I thought it was a true FG that you're FJ that your mother would love.
Speaker 3What does that mean?
Speaker 5I just think it's a bit It should come with a handbag.
Speaker 4Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're sad about it.
It's more of a baby land cruiser.
But the thing is about this car is yeah, I don't think they should be calling it and linking it to the FJ.
But yeah, interesting, small, chunky four point six meters long.
Am I right in saying they've put a bloody old little.
Speaker 3Engine in that thing?
Like it's four point seven Toyota.
It's like it's like a petrol from the HIGHLUKX.
Yeah, yeah, but it's was it also from that what's that one that I saw in Bloody Thailands?
Yeah?
Speaker 5It dates back to the prehistoric ages A chap.
Speaker 3Yeah, it's from the chair.
Speaker 6But it's an engine that you wouldn't wish upon your worst enemy.
And given this will be light, maybe it's not that bad.
But Toyota must have a stockpile of millions of irrelevant engines because they just keep sticking them in cars and rolling cars over with the two point eight liter diesel, I mean, one hundred and twenty kilowats of power two hundred and forty six meters of talk gutlet.
Speaker 5But so is the Jymney.
So this is all ye're going to try and compete with.
Speaker 4But it sort of stands in the line.
I've got that here, Jimney.
What's that reno bloody feather duster thing?
Would you put this next to the tank three hundred?
Speaker 5God?
Speaker 6No, okay, tank three hundred is way bigger than this, But okay, this is a lot more modern inside than a Jimney.
Speaker 3Yeah, yes, oh god.
Speaker 4I was I'm trying to convince my wife for us to get a Jymney.
And I took her in and I drove the auto, and I was like, hey, it's fine, it's fine, but I'm like, I want the manual, like I want.
Speaker 3To strip back as like basic as you can get.
Speaker 4So I took her and the kid in the manual Jimney and she just said, I feel like this is unsafe.
Are we driving a tin can.
I'm like, yes, we are.
Speaker 3Shut up.
Speaker 4Yeah, it doesn't do hills, but just be you know, I won't do over about one hundred and ten hundred and twenty on.
Speaker 3The highway either.
Speaker 4But yeah, this baby land Cruiser I keep calling it.
It's sort of roughly from what I can work out, sort of sits between all Across and a RAV four size.
Speaker 6It's not coming to Australia.
We should probably point that out.
Australia has said at this stage it's not coming.
They might just pull the cat out of the bag at some point.
But Australia's got a unique issue because of this Envers nonsense.
They're having to basically trim back on stuff that isn't electric and it means something like this, which goes against all the hybrids they sell.
They're just not going to bother selling it because it'd have to be expensive, doesn't help them meet any Envez targets, so they just won't bring it.
Speaker 3So is that truly the reason why?
Speaker 5Absolutely?
Speaker 4Because here's here's my thought.
I looked at it and I go, it's a part time forward drive.
It's got some sort of forward drive bits and pieces.
It's got like a real diff lock I think on it.
It's got some stuff.
A lot of journals are coming out going toyotas lying they're going to bring it out, and I thought that would be such a peculiar lie to tell.
Speaker 5I mean, why would you bother?
Speaker 4Yeah, I kind of think we are.
We do get a lot of land cruisers here, we get all of.
Speaker 6Us them compete with anything, so it's not like you announcing it.
You're not going to sell rab falls all of a sudden, which is typically why a car company will hold back talking about a product which is why Kias started talking about the Tasman two years ago, because it doesn't compete with anything else they sell.
This is the same if it was coming, they would have just said it's coming, so they might surprise us and say, hey, we're bringing it, But ultimately it just goes against their targets for envies.
Speaker 5Because they're kind of screwed.
They sell a lot of diesel cars.
Speaker 6You look at their whole range, it is all diesels and hybrids.
So if you go to Hilux, Land Cruiser, Prato seventy series, all diesel, you're offsetting it with some hybrid products with.
Speaker 5RAV four and the smaller vehicles.
Speaker 6You can't then just come in and bring this which doesn't really meet any of that objective for hybridization.
Speaker 4I also feel like maybe this could be a little bit shit because because if they're not going to bring in here, I mean, we get a lot of as I said, we get a lot of different toyotas, we get a lot of we get the bloody gr which doesn't really get seen outside Japan.
March.
I kind of feel like maybe they don't want to bring it here because it's not as good as people want it to be.
Speaker 5Or it may not be as safe.
Speaker 6If you look at the K cars they sell in Japan, a lot of them, you can't really buy them here because you hit anything, it would just completely collapse around you.
Yeah, so I wonder if this is more designed to compete with Japanese market cars like K cars, where perhaps safety is and as important.
Speaker 4Are you excited about an ev Ferrari Absolutely not, And yeah it's weird.
Speaker 6My colleague Elbows, who have had on the show before, he was over at the reveal they did for the battery system, and Ferrari made all of these claims about how it's the most energy dance battery in the world, and how it's the most power dense battery in the world, and I kind of just ran some of the figures they claim through GPT and from what I could tell, China already sells stuff that's more energy dance, which confused me.
Speaker 5So I don't know.
Speaker 6With Ferrari, when they release a product, they try and be the best at it where where it's you know, you look at the SF ninety.
It is unbelievably fast, it goes around track, it does everything right.
Speaker 3When they release a car, it's a supercar icon an electric.
Speaker 6Car, you have the ability to be outdone by a Chinese car company, where the Chinese car company won't focus as much on handling and we'll just have a car that goes faster in a straight line.
Speaker 5So what's Ferrari got been.
Speaker 4Well, they've got two motors, they've got two point five seconds, and they've got a badge.
Speaker 6But yeah, but it's like, okay, great fast in a straight line.
It's not going to handle particularly well because it is very heavy.
It's got one hundred and overwhell over one hundred killow what our battery.
So it's going to handle like a bit of a dog because you cannot make a car that heavy handle.
Speaker 5So what is the point?
And I just don't get that part.
Speaker 4I think options are the end of the day.
Would they be under some sort of scrutiny with the European emission targe.
Speaker 5Yeah, they are a little bit.
Speaker 6But my understanding was that some of those lower volume manufacturers are exempt.
But there is a chance that pure sung way you're moving into SUVs, that's pushing them up through a volume threshold.
But you look at the factory, the factory, it's a bit of a masterpiece because You've got this amazing production line for V twelves, You've got the V six production line as well, but it is all about internal combustion.
You're now going to have to roll out brand new factory, You're going to have to roll out brand new architecture, brand new technology.
Speaker 5The resale value of plug in hybrid Ferraris is absolutely shit.
Speaker 6No one wants secondhand s F nine is secondhand two nine sixers.
Speaker 5Just no one wants that sort of stuff.
Speaker 6So I just fear that this type of thing, and they're already setting it up.
One of the stories that Obols wrote was about how Ferrari wants to stop people sort of selling production slots and reselling their cars for profit.
And I think they're saying that because a lot of the cars they're producing today are just not reselling for profit unless it's a super niche model that is just internal combustion.
Speaker 4It's interesting, you know, like we've got a lot cars are now doing it, Like the portion of carn is now ev that's.
Speaker 5A well, that was a disaster diaster.
Speaker 4The tour rag is is that on my own saying that's discontinued and they're moving that to an ev A lot of that sort of space has been taken up by evs.
I mean, it's kind of cool that people have options now, but oh geez.
Speaker 6Yeah, it's fine to have options, but don't take away what people want.
Speaker 5Yeah, and I mean I keep saying this.
If you want to buy an EV, go buy an EV.
Speaker 6But if I don't want to buy one or it doesn't suit my lifestyle, don't force me to buy it.
Speaker 5By forcing people to buy it.
Speaker 6They resent this, and I really just I don't understand the logic behind it.
And you're already saying that a lot of companies are backflipping on promises for going full EV because they just don't have the customer base for it.
People just do not care and are not interested in a lot of cases, I.
Speaker 3Want a bit social.
Speaker 4Recently went to a car event o, a Deuce slash Mini event excellent Genesis.
No, I don't have the Genesis.
Got the MG still the MG five s EV.
Oh, by the way, you want a quick update, I'm about to hand that back.
I've always been completely honest about these that that's been a pretty good car.
Speaker 3Like it's been.
Speaker 4I've raved on about the tech it's starts, some of the tech.
I've had to kind of go, hey, this guys, guys, this one needs a bit of a look at, because it's starting to revert back to being it never it never was, but it's starting to kind of become very annoying.
It's starting to tell me like things like, hey, focus on the road, focus on the road.
Speaker 3I'm like, I am looking straight ahead.
I'm fine, there's nothing wrong.
Speaker 4And so I'm starting to turn stuff off, and I'm like, guys, can It would be usually the sort of thing where if I was bringing it in for a service, I'd go, can.
Speaker 3We look at this because that's not accurate?
Speaker 5But I can't figure it.
That's the problem.
Speaker 6And I actually, since we last spoke, I'd drive that car, OKAYES five, and I found the safety stuff annoying.
Speaker 5Every single drive up.
I'd set the custom that star button to just turn it all.
Speaker 4Off, yes, which you can, which look, That's what I enjoyed about it because you can.
Speaker 3You can do that and like save it all so when you just get in, you've got to just push that button.
It's all gone.
Speaker 6But in terms of the other negatives, car play couldn't it kept dropping out, I couldn't reacon it.
It was so frustrating, incredibly frustrating.
But probably the biggest thing for me is how inefficient it is.
It uses so much power, like it's averaging.
When I had it, I did probably eight hundred cars, did a lot of driving in it.
I was aver doing between eighteen and twenty one kill what hours per hundred k's, which for a car with such a small battery is absurdly inefficient.
Positive though, it was pleasant to drive, like it's real drive, it's sort of it's got that fun factor to it.
It's got room inside, it's inoffensive to look at.
Speaker 3Yeah, interiors rolls out pretty well.
Speaker 5How many cas are you getting out of a charge?
Speaker 4Probably about It's hard to say.
I generally, as a general rule, charge it once every two weeks, and I'm by the way, I'm putting it on the bloody granny charger like the thing in the wall, So I just kind of know I'm barely going to use it on a Sunday, use that day and a half to kind of just fill the thing up.
And look, it's getting me around town easily without even thinking about it.
It's getting me to work and back, it's getting me out to ride to pick up the kid and do groceries and do all that sort of stuff out that way.
Speaker 5Like it's what is your average?
Text it to me later, So i'd be curious to see you look at it.
Speaker 6And then the other thing I'm curious about as well, is are you driving the a bigger battery version of the small battery version.
Speaker 3That's a good question.
I feel like I'm driving.
I know.
Speaker 4When I charge it, it's weird because I'm like, oh, I claimed that was saying for over four hundred kilometers, like say, four hundred and twelve, and I think I'm getting about three ninety yeap, three eighty three ninety yep, So that's a bit how's it going, mate?
But yeah, look I get around Towner doing all the things I need to do.
I think it looks really good.
I think the interior has been good.
I think all in all, it's been a good car.
It's just of late in the last week or two, some of the electronics on it are starting to play funny buggers.
Speaker 3And usually it'd be something i'd take.
Speaker 4In for a service, as I said, but I'm just like, hey, guys, let's swap it around.
So I think I'm getting the QS which is a big eight seed or something.
Yeah, big ass car, so that'd be fun.
And then summer drives.
Oh you know what I was thinking we should do?
We should do next episode.
Let's do like the top five fun best road trip fun summer cars.
