Main theme: Fresh from the New York Auto Show, our panel discusses the cars, trucks, and SUVs you should be waiting for—and why they matter.

Filmed on the show floor, we discuss the updated Toyota Highlander and Subaru Outback, the new Lincoln Corsair, and the Ford Escape that it's based on. Then we turn our attention to Hyundai, which brought a wild new Sonata sedan and a tiny SUV that's affordable and attractive, the Venue.

We also spend some time talking about the new Cadillac CT5, the Nissan Versa, and the Toyota Yaris. And we close out the show with our personal favorites, including a collection of classics from Nissan and a new VW pickup that we hope makes it to the U.S.

After my dad gave me a ride on his Yamaha two-stroke motorcycle when I was 3, I was hooked on anything with an engine. I got a master's in journalism as a means to an end: To drive cars and get paid for it, which led me to jobs at Road & Track and Edmunds.com. My most thrilling moment so far has been hurtling down the autobahn at a GPS-timed 217.1 mph in a Ruf Rt12. On weekends you can find me churning dirt on my mountain bike or doing car or motorcycle track days. Follow me on Twitter. (@MikeMonticello)
