On this episode of Future Motoring, Christian Moe joins us again to talk cars.
But before we talk about a hodgepodge of different vehicles that we liked -- and didn't -- recently, we talk about Christian's favorite subject; the mid-engine Corvette.
Will Chevrolet show the car off during a trucks event on Saturday the 13th? If not, then when?
All the mid-engine Corvette rumors you can handle on this episode of Future Motoring. Special Guest: Christian Moe. -

On this episode of Future Motoring, we talk about the new Aston Martin Vantage. Since we talk about Aston Martin a lot, it seems like we should just change the show to This Week in Aston Martin.
Chad likes that the car is different. Guest Christian Moe doesn't like the front end at all. We talk about that. Also, we talk about the performance and the competition; mainly the Porsche 911.
Then we talk about the Tesla Semi and Tesla Roadster. Are they smokescreen products to keep us from talking about the Model 3 "production Hell?" Did Tesla make a Class 8 truck that makes sense? We break it down.
Finally, we talk about upcoming episodes of the show, Christian's favorite car he drove all year, and whiskey. Always whiskey. Special Guest: Christian Moe. -
On today's episode of Future Motoring, we welcome back the MotorHead Mama to talk about auto show etiquette. She runs a "Dude or Douchebag" column on her site, so we thought we'd have a live version of that.
What are "booth babes" and do they still exist? Is it appropriate to even have booth babes anymore? What about product specialists? What should they be wearing?
How does the culture of the show affect what people wear? Should there be different standards for a show like SEMA in Las Vegas compared to NAIAS in Detroit?
We talk about that, plus we discuss a bit about how to get more women into the automotive industry.
Finally, we talk about Amelia's favorite car she's driven all year. Is it the Aston Martin DB11? You should listen and find out (it's not).
All of that and more, we promise, on this episode of Future Motoring! Special Guest: Amelia Dalgaard. -
On this episode of Future Motoring, we welcome back Jill Ciminillo and Nicole Wakelin to talk about the drive of the 2018 Aston Martin DB11 V8. We all drove it at various times in California, but what did we all think? Is it better than the V12 for less money? Listen and find out.
Then we talk about Nissan's #TitanTailgate, an event where journalists drove Titans to Nashville to tailgate a Tennessee Titans football game. More importantly, we drove nearly 500 miles each way to get there. How does the Titan XD stack up on a road trip?
Also, we talk about Nissan's overall truck strategy, what we think is working and what isn't, and play armchair quarterback.
All of that and more on this episode of Future Motoring! Special Guests: Jill Ciminillo and Nicole Wakelin. -
Nicole Wakelin of The Boston Globe joins us again to talk about the 2018 Honda Accord. How does it compare to the Toyota Camry? What about the other cars in the segment? Is it any good?
We talk that and more on this episode of Future Motoring! Special Guest: Nicole Wakelin. -

For the past nearly 4 years, Nissan has been quietly rolling out an expanded electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure network across the United States.

How is the Direct Adaptive Steering? Does Bose Performance Series mean the stereo is actually good? We address those questions and others as we also try to not get lost.

On this episode of Future Motoring, we fly to southern California to experience the new 2018 Hyundai Sonata midsize sedan as well as the new 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT.
Are these cars still great values? How is the technology? Are they fun to drive?
We answer all of those questions and more on this episode of the podcast! -
On today's show, we attempt to define what a crossover is and what a SUV is. How are they different? Are there similarities? What about cars and trucks? Can a SUV also be a truck?
Our friends Christian Moe and Jill Ciminillo attempt to figure it out.
We also briefly talk about which Mazda vehicle we'd buy, including ones they don't make or probably will ever make, and wax more poetic about Aston Martin, the DB11, and something about punching nuns.

Up next week talk about the Movin'On By Michelin that took place in Montreal and discuss various mobility solutions and how there are unique mobility problems in other parts of the world that we aren't exposed to here in the United States.
Plus, we talk to Nicole about the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. We can't talk about driving impressions or price, because it's still under embargo, but we have a frank discussion about the segment and our hopes for a successful Alfa Romeo product.
