It’s Halloween week on The Bucket Seat and the auto industry is just as spooky — from Subaru’s return to performance glory, to GM’s plan to kill Apple CarPlay, and Toyota building a luxury brand above Lexus.

What’s inside:

  • Subaru STI Resurrection: Dual concepts — gas and EV — at the Japan Mobility Show. Nostalgia meets electrification.
  • GM vs. CarPlay: The bold (or boneheaded) decision to cut Apple and Google out of future dashboards.
  • Toyota’s New “Century” Brand: Moving above Lexus to challenge Rolls and Bentley.
  • Mitsubishi Elevance Concept: A quad-motor adventure EV that looks ready for Iceland, not the mall.
  • Germany’s Chip-Sharing Pact: Automakers teaming up to survive another shortage.
  • Ferrari’s Record Profits: The hybrid era hits the sweet spot between performance and conscience.
  • Lucid’s Level-4 “Earth” EV: Autonomy hype or genuine leap forward?

Hosted by Bonar Bulger and Trevor Byrne, this episode blends industry insight with the same garage-floor curiosity that drives the show. From design obsessions to tech overreach, we’re figuring out what really matters in cars right now.
