Description

Kicking off the show, Automotive Journalist and Voice of Reason, BJ Killeen, and Alan lament the death of Regis Philbin, who died recently at age 88, and the cancelation of the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Then, Alan reviews the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4, 1998 GMC Sierra, and the 2020 Ford Ranger Supercrew, as well as describing the benefits of diesel in an age where diesel is more expensive than gasoline. Next up, we chat with JoshCAR Hollywood Car Consultant, Josh Hancock, about Hollywood's halted production, Mercedes-Benz' decision to shut down factories in North American and slash their lineup, the return of auctions, and Hearst Publishing's purchase of BringATrailer.com. Wrapping up the show, Car Coach Reports Publisher, Lauren Fix, reviews the Lexus LC 500, discusses the flop of electric vehicles, shares excitement over the Jeep Gladiator V8 and Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, and warns us to watch out for supposed great car deals during the pandemic. Tune in to keep up with the latest auto news, reviews, and more!
