THE DRIVE with Alan Taylor | Episode #285
The next generation of car lovers has arrived and it’s in the hands of the industry experts to help them tame their passion. We begin the first hour with Tony Bowie, who shares the mission of the Southwest Research Institute and their involvement with the Shell Eco-marathon. Then, Alan introduces freelance automotive journalist, George Kennedy III, to talk about their shared test drive of the Volvo V90 XC, and George’s 24 Hours to LeMons race. In the second hour, we jump back a couple months to a great show from February; we hear from the king of horsepower, John Hennessey, as well as BJ Killeen, KBB’s Karl Brauer, and owner of Workshop 5001, Marlon Goldberg. Join us to fuel your passion for cars.
A month on the road has taken Alan to some great trade shows! We catch up with Motorz TV host, Chris Duke, to review the Ford F-150 Raptor and Volkswagen Dune. BJ Killeen and Josh Hancock discuss new rides hitting the market including the Kia Niro Hybrid. Then, Kelley Blue Book's Karl Brauer considers challenges of classifying late model cars. The gang also throws out some guesses on what the new Dodge Demon will look and drive like.
