CARLOS LAGO: Welcome to a special LA auto
show edition of "Edmunds Road Noise."
WILL KAUFMAN: Surely, you mean AutoMobility LA.
CARLOS LAGO: Yes, of course.
I forgot.
That's what everybody in the industry calls it.
In any event, this is your look at everything
that happened in the automotive industry this week
and some of the things you may have missed from the Edmunds
editorial team.
WILL KAUFMAN: There are a lot of new cars
here on the show floor today, so we're
going to cover the ones you need to know about.
CARLOS LAGO: First up is the Jeep Gladiator.
Guess what?
It's a Wrangler with a bed.
It also has a lot of towing capacity,
around 7,600, pounds making it best in class.
A lot of road capability too.
And Jeep says it'll fit up to 35 inch tires
without a lot of serious modification.
WILL KAUFMAN: And in sports cars,
we've got the new Porsche 911 and the AMG GT R Pro,
a new version of the AMG GT R. And guess what?
Both of them are faster than the old models.
CARLOS LAGO: Shocking.
WILL KAUFMAN: I know.
We've extensively covered the new 911
and its hybrid potential already.
But Alistair Weaver will have a deep dive video and first look
article on edmunds.com/roadnoise.
CARLOS LAGO: The AMG GT R Pro seeks
to give you more of a race car like experience
from behind the wheel.
WILL KAUFMAN: So it'll be really uncomfortable.
CARLOS LAGO: Hopefully not, but it will sure be fast.
In more pedestrian car news but still pretty exciting,
there's the new Mazda 3.
The big news is it's all wheel drive.
And later, maybe next year, it'll
be available with Mazda's new-fangled direct spark
controlled compression ignition thing.
And that will also be a hybrid.
WILL KAUFMAN: And as always, I am keeping my fingers crossed
for a Mazda speed version.
Please, Mazda, please.
The all new Honda passport splits the difference
between the Pilot and the CR-V, both of which are our top
ranked vehicles in their respective classes.
It loses a few inches from the Pilot,
keeps the V6, and gains about an inch of ride height.
Combined with some trick all-terrain traction control,
software that should give it some real off road cred.
CARLOS LAGO: Lastly for SUVs, there's the new Hyundai
Palisade.
And it's probably the least expensive thing
you can get in the Palisades.
It's a big, three row crossover, with a lot of the features
that buyers in this segment really like to see.
So that's got a V6 engine with a twist.
Check for more detail about that at edmunds.com/roadnoise.
And now it's time for the most shocking part of the "Road
Noise" segment, that's EVs.
WILL KAUFMAN: Puns are my lane, Lago.
CARLOS LAGO: Audi unveiled its e-tron GT concept, which
it says has 582 horsepower.
WILL KAUFMAN: I thought they said 590 horsepower.
CARLOS LAGO: They did.
But that's metric horsepower.
And here in America, we use a different measurement.
WILL KAUFMAN: Makes perfect sense.
CARLOS LAGO: Yes.
It'll do 0 to 60 in 3 and 1/2 seconds.
It has a range of over 200 miles.
And it'll go into production in 2020.
WILL KAUFMAN: Rivian is promising
us the first electric pickup truck in 2020.
The S1T gets 400 miles of range, 11,000 pounds
of towing capacity, and a 0 to 60 time of just 3 seconds.
CARLOS LAGO: Isn't that faster than the Audi?
WILL KAUFMAN: It is.
It also gets some neat storage options like a frunk,
just like a Porsche 911.
CARLOS LAGO: Well, guess what?
WILL KAUFMAN: What?
CARLOS LAGO: Mitsubishi's bringing back the Evolution.
WILL KAUFMAN: I'm so excited.
CARLOS LAGO: Hold up.
It's an EV, and it's an SUV.
WILL KAUFMAN: Oh.
CARLOS LAGO: And it's called the e-Evolution.
WILL KAUFMAN: No.
CARLOS LAGO: See, it's electric, and it's an EV--
WILL KAUFMAN: I don't want to talk about electric cars
anymore.
CARLOS LAGO: --and it's e-Evolution.
WILL KAUFMAN: No.
We're done.
CARLOS LAGO: e--
WILL KAUFMAN: We're done.
It's over.
CARLOS LAGO: --Evolution.
WILL KAUFMAN: No.

CARLOS LAGO: It's all new cars we're looking at.
We've also been driving a few too.
This week, Alistair Weaver got a chance
behind the wheel of the absurdly quick McLaren 600LT.
ALISTAIR WEAVER: The company has finally
got the idea that you don't have to drive
as if your pants are on fire to enjoy one of their cars.
Even at low speeds, this car is a real sense of occasion.
Every journey is an adventure.
I love it.
Right now, this is my favorite McLaren.
WILL KAUFMAN: And in this week's detour,
while we're right here celebrating new cars,
there's some bad news from GM.
CARLOS LAGO: They're going to ax about 14,000 jobs
and close a few plants, killing a few cars in the process.
That includes the Chevrolet Cruz, Chevrolet Volt, Chevrolet
Impala, and Cadillac CT6.
WILL KAUFMAN: Well at least Cadillac is promising us
we're going to see the sporty CT6 V before the car takes
its final bow.
CARLOS LAGO: On the lighter side of things,
special correspondent Elana Scherr has been at the show
too.
And we're going to take a look at what she's been up to.
ELANA SCHERR: I'm going to get all geeky on you guys,
because my favorite thing about auto shows is cutaway engines.
Cutaway engines have big holes in them,
which normally is a problem.
But at an auto show, it allows you to see all those things
that you're always reading about, twin turbos, V8s, V6s,
big pistons, small pistons, superchargers.
It's really the only time you get to see what's inside.
WILL KAUFMAN: Auto shows are not just the best place
to drool over a hot new concept cars.
They're also a great place to shop for your next car, truck,
or SUV.
This week, our tips and advice team
takes a look at everything you need
to know to make the most of the show floor.
CARLOS LAGO: That's going to do it
