Next, the duo shed a little light on TESLA, and how they have dropped their prices by 20%, which infuriated current TESLA owners. Brian Moody – Executive Editor of Auto Trader.com joins Alan next to discuss the best SUV for a 31K budget. The 2023 Buick Encore GX, 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV, 2023 Chevy Equinox, 2023 Ford Bronco Sport, Honda HRV, 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sportage, and a 2023 Mazda CX50. The full list can be viewed by visiting AutoTrader.com. Up next is George Kennedy III – Co-founder of Cartender and Freelance Automotive Journalist for CarGurus. He test drove the 2023 Kia Sportage. “Great vehicle, feels sporty, good power for around town”, his only dislike, the missing dial knob. Tech is great, just not when you’re driving and need to adjust the volume. “Good fuel economy because it’s a hybrid”, chimes Alan. Hybrids are the way to go! Closing the show is Steven Cole Smith – Editor In Chief of Car Coach Reports makes a pit stop to chat about the 24 Hour Daytona. Sixty one cars, and one hell of a race. It was Acura’s race, however people were curious as to how the new GTP hybrids were gonna hold up. Two out of the nine were taken out early, but the rest held their own. NASCAR is starting up and Steven says the one to watch is Ross Chastain. As the show ends, Alan shares a moment where he and Rusty Wallace discussed “PTSD” moments in racing.
