We get some spicy info from Joe Moses the GM of Toyota marketing (no big deal) about the upcoming Toyota Crown. The first mass-produced Toyota that's 15 generations deep. Receives a makeover and a red carpet debut.
Mike Caudill has a TON of info about almost every car ever made but trims it down to the Mercedes EQS AMG, Mercedes EQB, Cadillac Escalade Type V, and the GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate.
Automatic Andy thinks the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro Hybrid is very much the best truck ever made and informs everyone he did yoga in the back of it.
