Description

Kicking off the show, we chat with Automotive Journalist and Voice of Reason, BJ Killeen, about her new Lincoln Corsair, which is the rename and refresh of the Lincoln MKC. It's an amazing luxury vehicle for the price and has almost no negative points, except for the lack of a rear cargo cover! Next up, Co-founder of Cartender and Freelance Automotive Journalist for CarGurus, Boston Globe, and U.S. News & World Report, George Kennedy III, reports on the new Jeep Wrangler EcoDiesel and Lincoln Aviator he got to drive. Then, Cadillac Marketing Manager, Bob Benbow, fills us in on the new, recently unveiled Cadillac Escalade and its host of segment-first features. An AKG sound system, super quiet Duramax Turbo Diesel engine, 36" OLED dashboard screen, and Cadillac Super Cruise are just a few of the high-tech features of the new Escalade. Up next, we chat with Jeff Bucknum, Stunt Driver for Ford V Ferrari and son of the third place finisher in the historic race which the movie is based around, about working with the actors and on the film set, and the film's historical accuracy. Closing out th show, Editor in Chief of Auto Exotica and The Median, Jill Ciminillo, discusses her favorite vehicles from the Chicago Auto show and gives us the genesis of Auto Exotica. Tune in for more automotive news.
