The Darth Vader Edition

This week Nicole has been driving the Hyundai Santa Cruz trucklet and Sam had the Genesis GV80 Coupe in Prestige Black (aka the Darth Vader edition).

In the news, Infiniti unveiled the its own crossover coupe, the QX65 and Nicole spoke with product marketing manager Brian Maragno. Chevrolet took the wraps off the new Corvette Grand Sport and its 6.7-liter LS6 small-block V8. Afeela is finally calling it quits. VW CEO Thomas Schafer blames his predecessor for allowing the company to go with so many touch controls and bad door handles. We look back at the Audi R8 V12 TDI that never made it to production. Nissan has refreshed the Versa for the Mexican market but America can't have it. GM has started road testing of its hands-off, eyes-off level 3 automation. We remind all of our listeners to not be jackasses. E15 is coming to your local gas pump soon and Hyundai plans to launch 36 models by 2030.
