THE DRIVE with Alan Taylor | Episode #305

The season of auto shows is just around the corner, and automotive journalists are getting the pleasure of reviewing the 2018 models that are hitting the dealerships. We begin the hour with automotive journalist, Steven Cole Smith, who gives us a NASCAR update and reviews the sporty, 2018 Kia Stinger. After that, Karl Brauer, Executive Publisher for Kelley Blue Book, tells us about his sophisticated ride in the 2018 Aston Martin Vanquish S, and shares that the 2018 Honda Accord could be the only hope for the sedan category. Changing lanes, we talk with Chris Basso of CARFAX about the importance of getting a vehicle history report before buying a used car. We close the show with President and CEO of Brembo North America, Dan Sandberg, who makes a prediction for the future of electronic brakes. Tune in now!
