THE DRIVE with Alan Taylor | Episode #306

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – they don’t really make a bad car nowadays. Technology has changed the way we look at our cars, and manufacturers are stepping up to the plate. We begin the hour chatting with Karl Brauer, Executive Publisher for Kelley Blue Book, who gushes over his test drive of the Lexus LC 500, describes the North American Car of the Year judging, and raves about the beautifully redesigned Toyota Camry. Then, we hit the track with Ed Justice, Jr., President and CEO of Justice Brothers, Inc., who updates us on the IMSA races, shares his opinion on Formula E racing, and voices his thoughts on the future of mobility. Next, Alan gives us an overview on what we can look forward to at the Las Vegas Barrett-Jackson, which will include a slew of charity cars. After that, automotive journalist BJ Killeen fills us in on the Hyundai Shopper Assurance program, and gives us an inside look at being an automotive journalist. Then, we discuss modern vehicle technology and the ease (or difficulty) of infotainment interfaces with Kristin Kolodge, Executive Director of Driver Interaction and Human Machine Interface for J.D. Power. Last but certainly not least, Dennis Collins, Owner of Collins Bros. Jeep, describes an exciting collection of British Sports Cars he recently discovered in an abandoned barn, and the trucks he will be auctioning off at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas this week. Stay ahead of the curve. Listen now.
