Live interviews from the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS) catch us up to speed with the latest rides. We begin the hour with Joy Falotico of the Lincoln Motor Company, who discusses the sales of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator and the introduction of the gorgeous Lincoln Aviator. Next, Lincoln's Robert Parker talks with us about the praises and special attention that their brand gets in China. Then, Lincoln's, David Woodhouse, shares Lincoln's guiding design principles. After that, we talk with MINI's, Andrew Cutler, who talks with us about the electrified classic MINI and their best-selling model, the Countryman. We follow up the MINI with another high-end company, Audi. Mark Dahncke of Audi sounds off about their Audi RS 5 Sportback and the popular Audi Q5. Next, Karl Brauer gushes over the roof-top party thrown by Kelley Blue Book, his favorite finds at NYIAS, and the technological shift that is happening in the automotive industry. Switching gears, Jamie Page Deaton of U.S. News and World Report Best Cars Rankings explains the pros and cons of some of the new rides on the showroom floor.
