Are you an environmentally conscious CEO in the market for a new car? Dax, Rob and Jethro race across Seattle to close a critical deal with a mysterious CEO. Meanwhile, Dax celebrates his birthday with the Porsche 911 Turbo S.
Has technology destroyed the modern-day SUV? If you think billions of dollars will save it, you're wrong. Jethro visits Laguna Seca to see if the minds at Acura who created the legendary NSX can make the same magic with the TLX Type S.
Dax heads to the snowy backcountry of Utah in a Dodge Ram TRX to see just how high a dinosaur can fly. Things go sideways when Jethro and Rob get in his way. Meanwhile, Rob reviews the latest offering from Aston Martin, and it isn't a two-seater.
For the price of a single lease payment, an entire car can be yours! Dax, Rob and Jethro pull cars off the scrapheap to see if it's worth buying a new junker each month. Dax tries to get a passing grade when he goes to drift school in a BMW M4.

The hosts are in car salesman mode for a unique buyer: the United States military. They pick three vehicles with a long history of military service, ready to re-enlist. Jethro figures out the best way to not be seen in the Mini Cooper JCW GP.
Just because money's tight, it doesn't mean you have to compromise on your car. Dax, Rob and Jethro head to Vegas to show you how to get a lot for a little, until things heat up in Death Valley. Then, Rob cheats Jethro in a Ford Mustang Mach-E.
In the season finale, Dax, Rob and Jethro want you to stop hating the miniature van and learn to love it like they do! They drag it. They rally it. They take it on the oval, and manage to invent a new sport!
