THE DRIVE with Alan Taylor | Episode #367

While Alan was in New York providing the audience of  LIVE with Kelly and Ryan with rapid fire automotive information on exclusive debuts, the industry was awash with news. Alan also didn’t get to attend the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS), but thankfully Founder, Editor, and Publisher of Rides and Drives, Harvey Briggs, fills us in on some of the SUVs, the Cadillac CT5, BAC Mono, and other exciting vehicles he saw at the show. Also, learn about Alan’s test drive of the amazing 2020 Kia Telluride, and Harvey’s ride in the BMW M5 Competition. Next up, President of Boss One Media and ALL OUT Live, Brian Bossone, tells us about the first ever drag race game show, made for the grassroots motorsports enthusiast. Changing lanes, Collins Bros. Jeep and Black Mountain Jeep Owner, Dennis Collins, gives us an update on his businesses, “Bring A Trailer”, One Lap of America, and his most recent barn finds. Then, we chat about waning public interest in electric vehicles, Ford’s deal with Rivian, and Tesla ’s bad stock and production performance with automotive journalist, BJ Killeen. Shifting gears, JoshCAR Hollywood Car Consultant, Josh Hancock, shares his favorite displays and cars from NYIAS, including Subaru’s spectacular forest display. Also, Josh informs us about the Petersen Automotive Museum’s new exhibit: Hollywood Dream Machines. Closing out the show, Kelley Blue Book, Autotrader, Dealer.com Executive Publisher, Karl Brauer, discusses why he thinks there might not be a road back from where Tesla has fallen in this past quarter, and how Ford’s exceeding of expectations and partnership with Rivian set them up to dominate in the future.
