We drove some impressive machines this week at Autoblog, clicking off miles in everything from a 2016 Chevy Camaro prototype to a 2015 BMW M4 convertible. We also drove the family-hauling 2016 Honda Pilot and Ford Explorer SUVs. Plus, there was a new episode of Car Club USA, video of our 2016 Mazda Miata meetup, and plenty of Short Cuts. Now, we know you're busy and might have missed these great flicks, so we're serving them all up in this week's Video Brunch. It's a holiday weekend, so slow down, relax, and have another helping of Autoblog videos.

Do you love chilidogs, French fries, meeting new friends, and the world's most popular convertible? Do you live in Southeast Michigan? Do you like lists of questions? If you answered "yes" to any but the last of those, we'd like to invite you to a little get-together we're hosting next week.

Driving impressions are still under embargo for the US-spec 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata, but somehow we've conned convinced company PR reps to show the car to you, Joe Public Autoblog Reader. We're enthused about telling you more about the ND Miata, but before we do we'd love to share a Coke and talk about cars.

Here's the skinny. A group of Autobloggers will be hanging out at the Athens Coney Island, in Royal Oak, MI, next Tuesday, May 19. We'll have the car on display from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and we'd love to see you. If you're a Miata owner, we'd also love to for you to bring your car along for the party. The more convertibles the better (just be prepared to have your picture taken).

Go ahead and set your navi for Athens – 32657 Woodward Ave., Royal Oak, MI 48073 ­– and we'll look forward to seeing you Tuesday. Mazda Geeks unite.

We drove a range of things this week, from the BMW X6 M hot-rod crossover to the smooth-riding Audi A6. Naturally, we filmed all of it, but you probably didn't have time to watch all of it. Well, now's the perfect time. Just like the weekend's signature midday meal, Autoblog's Video Brunch returns to fill you up and mellow you out.

There's a new episode of The List, three fresh Daily Drivers, and a batch of Short Cuts. So linger over your laptop with coffee and some tasty Autoblog videos.

Here's a look at what we drove this week:
