Here we go with one gun down!
Half of the dynamic duo also known as Motoring Middle East was in the house talking cars.
Who are these guys?
These guys are mad about cars and I mean mad in a good way.
Well every week when they come into the studio it is a no-holds barred event of epic proportion.
This week we had a bit of a talk about the Chev Spark.
Look the car is a small sub-compact that has a loving audience, the guy who dropped it off.
And the Spark LS model I drove had a nice 1.5L engine, sweet.
But honestly, it was a car that was a bit cramped. All of the pieces worked and the car looked good and ran well but I could never get comfortable, my knee kept hitting the console.
Love the fuel economy and this is a car many will love but it just did not do it for me!

Once again my theory of automobiles as the unifying factor of social society was proven correct.
Imthishan from www.motoringme.com was with James in studio and together they demonstrated that no matter who, what time of the day or where people are cars create a buzz.
This week we learned that old is new. It would seem more than a fair share of listeners are driving cars that some might say are well past the best before date.
And of course we learned that both of the boys this week had their Jeep's in for some repairs and that they really want those rides back. Well James has his thanks to Sam at Rage.
Here is a look at what some of the listeners had to say via the SMS line.
Hi james and imtishan, sam did a great job on my cherokee just last week, new shocks, new suspension bushes, sensors, rear tfr case seal, new alternator. . And repair to steering box, and new track bar. Great job! Ian (the skoda guy)
Hi, Good Evening, I drive a lands rover lr3 2009. The car is getting aged a bit. Can you suggest a good mechanic CanSam at Al qouz service this car. Prakash
I have a black infiniti G35 2008 model. I love the design and was my dream car from design and performance perspective. I have clocked 100K kms and am wondering if it'll start giving problems n bcole expensive over time. Should i sell it? Im so much in love wid the design tat given a chance i'll keep it for life. Just worried if more expenses wud come up.
Hey. New Golf GTI or R? Mike
006 Volvo V70 - 340,000 kms but still going strong! Can't seem to separate! 
🏻
100,000 is brand new!! My 2005 Honda Mrv has 208,000 km now. How long do u think it will last??? And also - how do u offload a 2001 Dodge Durango?? Lol
Hi,
Since many Ford fans are popping up with their experience, I want to share my feedback too. I have had my Focus ST for 2 and half years now and Al Tayer is the best dealership experience I have had among all the cars I have owned. Like one listener said, Ford Middle East is of not much help when there are issues, takes ages to approve, but Al Tayer on the other hand helps the best way possible
Hi I have a 2010 3.0 litre ford escape and it has done 146,000 km. Its a wonderful car.... Excellent handling, very good pickup, its faster than my 3.8 litre 2016 pajero, it has had general wear and tear repairs....
A very satisfactory car and want to drive it forever... But how long can I use it....

MotoringME.COM was in the house and we had a fantastic evening talking cars. Of course the Lamborghini I drove featured big in the conversation.
THE PODCAST
Here is what we set out to speak about.

2 new things from GM so soon!
GM executives are confident that they'll reap more than $1,000 in extra per-vehicle profit from the 2016 Malibu when it goes on sale this fall, simply by offering head-turning features and options rather than fire-sale prices. They expect the same from the redesigned Cruze, scheduled for an unveiling here this week.
But those cars will arrive in a market that is squeezing car margins, not expanding them. Industry incentives on both midsize and compact cars last month hit their highest levels in more than five years, as automakers try to keep customers interested amid a shift toward crossovers. And more cars have been making the profit-sapping journey to rental-car lots in recent months.
KIA Soul or Renault Capture

Cruze hatch? We have these don’t we?
The Cruze hatch also will take on the Ford Focus, which derives about 40 percent of its sales from the five-door model. Other hatches include the Hyundai Elantra GT and Volkswagen Golf.
IHS Automotive expects hatchbacks to grow to 7.8 percent of U.S. light-vehicle sales by 2020, up from an estimated 5.3 percent this year.
The Dodge Caravan lives for now but even US market is slack!
The death of the current-generation Dodge Grand Caravan may have been greatly exaggerated.
Fiat Chrysler plans to continue production of the current Dodge people hauler at least into the 2017 model year, according to an internal company document. It will be built alongside a redesigned version of the Chrysler Town & Country minivan beginning early next year.
The Grand Caravan had been set to end production in 2016.
The planning document indicates that the next-generation Town & Country is scheduled to start production on Feb. 29, 2016, at FCA's recently overhauled Windsor, Ontario, assembly plant.
That minivan, with the two-letter code RU, will be a 2017 model. The 2016 Town & Country will be produced during a short run beginning in early August and ending in mid-February.

The boys from Motoring Middle East are in the house and we are talking cars and more!
We started off the show being very clear about how clueless James can be.
The boys then had a good talk about the Crysler 300c srt8!

Now here's a TT that's sparked our interest: 2.5-litre with electric biturbo, 600bhp and 479lb ft with a 0-100kph time of 3.6seconds! Sadly it's just a concept car to be shown at concept car on the Wörthersee Tour in the Austrian town of Reifnitz 13-16 May
Which Mini to pick?
Merc 500 with a rear window like a 93 Taurus
