    Talking Cars 406: Highlights From the 2023 New York Auto Show

    EVs as far as the eye can see . . . as well as the final countdown of the American muscle car

    Main theme: This week we’re coming to you from the floor of the New York International Auto Show. We share highlights from the show and how almost every manufacturer is mapping out its electric vehicle future.

    The podcast panelists discuss their favorite vehicles and trends, including previews of the Chevrolet Equinox and Blazer EVs, Ford Mustang, Kia EV9, Ram 1500 REV, and Toyota Grand Highlander. (Click on those model names for more information and videos.) We also share our thoughts on the future direction of the automotive landscape, with the lack of concept cars at this year’s show, and the polarization between big trucks and performance vehicles in contrast with the continuing electrification of the industry.
