Celebrating 42 years of MotorWeek, with John Davis
As MotorWeek's host for the show, now celebrating its 42nd season, John Davis has the opportunity to put all of the new car models through extensive road tests and to judge their practicality for buyers. He also acts as final editor on all of the new car road test segments and writes many of the test opinions as well as other portions of the program.
John started as mechanical and aerospace engineering graduate, and has been on commercial radio and television programs nationwide for over 4 decades. His weekly program offers him that rare chance to bring the enjoyment of a hobby to his professional life, and to use his broadcasting, engineering and analytical expertise to supply information and insight to those who enjoy cars. Tonight we are proud and honored to share John's story with our audience!
