It wouldn't be Cruise Control without some automotive news to rev things up. Daniel fills us in on how Porsche is going all out with their Taycan-shaped EV, the Macan, and everything we have to know about the midsize luxury SUV J7 from Chery sub-brand Jaecoo making their debut on our streets. In regional news, we speculate which brand new releases we'll be seeing in Malaysia soon: the K4, Kia's fourth-gen compact sedan, or the ID. UNYX by Volkswagen that made a splash in China this week.

In part two, the gang breaks down the reports that predict fewer than 20 major Chinese EV brands will survive the tariffs being applied on Chinese-made EV vehicles globally. Could this signal the end of the Chinese auto invasion? Tune in to find out.

The final part of the show throws it back to your first car. With first-time car buyers opting for the shiny, new car that eats up paychecks, we ask: What should your first car be? Take it from Daniel - it should be used, cheap, and with zero depreciation.
