It's the last episode of Rambling About Cars at Motor1, but we aren't just fading away. Mazda has a "new" CX-70 that sure looks like a CX-90 without third-row seats. Lexus has a GR-infused concept hatchback that looks interesting. And we can't end three years of podcasts without a very special "cheap" car challenge.
