2016 VW Golf R, the new Top Gear, & LeMans.

Update: 2016-06-06

Description

It's the Dude Drives Cars podcast! This week, Matthew the Car Guy talks about his drive in the 2016 Volkswagen Golf R. With 292hp and all wheel drive, this five-door hot hatch proves that VW is not all doom, gloom, and dirty diesels. Is it worth the $40,000 price of admission? Let's find out.

Also on the podcast, thoughts about the new Top Gear now we've had the chance to digest two episodes. The 24h of LeMans is coming up on June 18th, meaning teams got a chance to sample their machinery on the 8.47 mile Circuit de la Sarthe on Test Day over the weekend.

Thanks for checking out the podcast! Find us all the time over on Twitter @matthewkguy
