We bought a 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy AWD for our test program—Hyundai's first model to use its new hybrid system based on a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder. We share our first impressions of this three-row family hauler, covering performance, fuel economy, interior space, cabin luxury, daily usability, and how the hybrid stacks up against the gas-only Palisade. Plus, we answer viewer questions about our All-Season vs. All-Season SUV tire ratings and whether Nissan's "Zero Gravity" seats deliver real comfort or just marketing hype.

Your Guess is as Good as Mine
What happens when revolutionaries break people out of immigration detention centers while Sean Penn does…that…in his car? We're diving deep into this Oscar Best Picture frontrunner's absolutely unhinged blend of political uprising, racist Christmas cults, underground tunnels, and dialogue that made us question reality itself. From baffling PTA meetings to three-car chase sequences, from ‘semen demons' to Medal of Honor massacres at the French 75—is this gonzo thriller the work of genius auteurs or pure cinematic madness? Why is everyone so impossibly horny? How does baby Charlene factor into the revolution? And did Lockjaw really survive THAT? Join Cocktails and Classics as we attempt to decode 2024's most bewildering, chaotic, and strangely compelling fever dream of a film. You'll need a drink for this one.

So many cool memories!
Each year, Consumer Reports publishes their findings on best new and used cars, SUVs and trucks. The guys take the new data and see if CR's results matches their experiences, and they're surprised by some discoveries. For Tony S., they debate vehicles that could potentially have a hitch rack semi-permanently installed - but he wants something sporty too. Then, Doug in MI is having an existential car crisis because he needs one do-it-all car for nearly every category of driving. Car conclusions cover an ultimate sleeper for Brian in NY, and a discovery for Paul C., who got a dynamic company commuter car that's also good for track use!

Consumer Reports' latest reliability findings are in, we share which brands deliver the most reliable cars, trucks, and SUVs in 2026—based on comprehensive survey data from hundreds of thousands of CR members. We break down how major automakers, including Toyota, Tesla, Subaru, Rivian, BMW, Mazda, and Honda, compare; how EVs and plug-in hybrids stack up against traditional gas models; which used cars offer the most dependable performance; and whether luxury brands truly provide an advantage over their mainstream counterparts. We also address why some automakers place the gas cap on the passenger side of their vehicles and offer advice on simple maintenance tasks you can perform yourself to help reduce car-related expenses.

Jill and Tom opened the show with a brief acknowledgment of the podcast's apparent popularity in Sweden. Amusingly, the show is described on Poddtroppen—a Swedish podcast download site—as a “Komedie.” Moving on, the hosts discussed yet another—massive—Ford recall. Tom suggests a reason why Ford might be in the trouble its in. Still in the first segment, the hosts dig into Volvo's recently announced decision to layoff 15-percent of its U.S. workforce. Next, Jill reviews the 2025 Subaru WRX tS, with manual transmission. In the second segment Jill and Tom welcome Jennifer Stockburger of Consumer Reports to the show. Jennifer discussed the Consumer Reports recently published Best Cars for Teens lists, and what went into creating them. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Saab!” quiz—which includes a Swedish-themed bonus question. And, as the show wraps up, Jill pledged to try and get passed Apple CarPlay.

Ever wondered what car you should buy for your teen driver? The latest US News and World Report rankings have just been released, and they're packed with surprises that might change how you approach this important decision.During our conversation with Zach Doell from US News, we uncovered the fascinating dominance of Hyundai in the 2025 Best Cars for Teens rankings. With six models making the list across both new and used categories, the Korean automaker has clearly mastered the delicate balance of safety, affordability, and reliability that parents prioritize when shopping for their teens.The rankings revealed that today's entry-level vehicles offer far more than their modest price tags suggest. Take the Kia Soul, starting at just $20,000 with advanced safety features that were luxury exclusives just a decade ago. As Zach explained, "Basic has changed." Today's affordable models come standard with potentially life-saving technology like automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning, along with teen-friendly features like Apple CarPlay that keep attention focused on the road rather than on phones.We explored the compelling case for both new and certified pre-owned vehicles, with Zach highlighting how favorable financing terms on new cars can sometimes offset their higher initial cost. Meanwhile, gently used vehicles coming off lease can offer substantial savings while still providing most modern safety features.Beyond car shopping, we took a virtual road trip to Port Aransas with Marrs, exploring this perfect family beach destination located on Mustang Island. With 18 miles of drivable beaches, world-class fishing opportunities, bird watching at the Leonabelle Turnbill Birding Center, and family-friendly parks, it's an ideal summer getaway that's neither too crowded like Galveston nor too small like Surfside.Whether you're shopping for your teen's first car or planning your family's summer escape, this episode delivers practical insights to help you make informed decisions that balance safety, value, and enjoyment.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. On his show he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, motoring travel. In this episode, Jon provides his insights on the latest vehicles in the 'Best of the Bay' road test series. He discusses and compares three standout cars: the 2025 Toyota Camry XSE, the full-size Range Rover, and the Lucid. The Camry is highlighted for its exceptional combination of performance and value, with characteristics comparable to a Lexus. The Range Rover impresses with its luxurious leather interior and commanding presence, though it is costly. The Lucid, despite being the most technologically advanced car tested and priced at double the Camry, stands out for its futuristic design and performance, making an impression on both Jon and a passerby during the review. John concludes with endorsements for the vehicles based on different consumer preferences. ==================== The Donnas - Take It Off “Camry Gonna Camry” - a bit better than you expect, in every respect: price, performance, look and feel inside and outside Full Fat Range Rover; the double whammy of the look and smell of the leather so memorable. Only 1 on road driving mode. The most civilized car we drove on the test day, makes you feel like an aristocrat. J can't do a Rangey though, he already has a corgi! Chops Garage (link) Lazerhawk - Dream Machine Episode 1 and driving the 1100hp Lucid to its frightening top speed two years ago Lucid decontented: 430hp, no moonroof, 80k not 200k The pre-production one in Santana Row vs. the up contented 1100hp with the Restoration Harware Interior The decontented car is the best car we drove during BotB The awesome calibration of the regen braking - it feels like a big german sedan engine braking at autobahn speeds Smooth, Swift and Sprint modes; about power delivery style. J preferred Smooth. Makes the Genesis, Rangey feel a last generation The Opinion of a Prius Car Camper - “That Thing Is SICK!” Overall, the Camry was Best Value; Lucid was Best Car; J would take the Genesis G80 sedan; the Single Best Thing was the Hellcat motor Zodiac Mindwarp - Airline Highway ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/gtmotorsports Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/ Copyright Jon Summers, The Motoring Historian.

Shoot us a Text.We're rolling into the big conversations at the 2025 Public Policy Day, where industry leaders and lawmakers shape the future of auto. Plus, CVS is testing a new app feature to unlock products, and Tesla inches toward unsupervised self-driving—though Elon says don't get too excited just yet. Show Notes with links:The press stage is set at ready to go at the 2025 Public Policy Day hosted by WANADA. The 2025 Public Policy Day at the Washington, D.C. Auto Show on January 30 features key industry leaders and policymakers. The day kicks off with a networking lunch, followed by opening remarks from John O'Donnell and a keynote discussion with Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH) and Devon Haynie (U.S. News & World Report).Highlights include vehicle reveals from Stellantis (Dodge Charger Daytona, Jeep Wagoneer S) and Nissan (2025 Murano), plus an Aston Martin Vanquish presentation by Bouch Siaf. A fireside chat features Todd Inman (NTSB) and Dave Shepardson (Reuters), while Alex Kwanten presents the Best Cars for the Money Awards.Industry roundtables cover consumer insights (featuring Thomas Castriota, Paul J Daly) and tax/trade policy (Jennifer Safavian, Cody Lusk, Bill Long). The event closes with Michael Cottone (Volvo) and John Bozzella (Alliance for Automotive Innovation).The day concludes with an exclusive Sneak Peek Reception of the Auto Show, presented by Events DC.Elon Musk recently announced that Tesla has initiated "unsupervised self-driving" at its Fremont factory. However, this development is currently limited to vehicles autonomously navigating within the factory premises.Tesla released a video showing cars driving themselves from the production line to loading docks without human intervention.This internal application covers a 1.2-mile route on private factory roads at low speeds.Musk has previously set ambitious timelines for unsupervised self-driving, including a driverless cross-country trip by 2018, which have not been met.The current implementation is a step forward but remains far from the full autonomous driving capabilities promised to consumers.Musk's latest projection targets unsupervised self-driving in California and Texas by the second quarter of 2025.CVS is piloting a new feature in its app that allows customers to unlock anti-theft cabinets themselves, aiming to enhance the shopping experience.The feature is currently being tested in three New York City stores.To use it, customers must be logged into the CVS app, connected to the store's Wi-Fi, and have Bluetooth enabled.This initiative addresses customer frustration with locked cabinets, which, while deterring theft, often inconvenience shoppers.CVS plans to expand the test to 10 to 15 additional stores, including locations on the West Coast."People really, really dislike locked cabinets," said Tilak Mandadi, executive vice president at CVS Health.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email
