We thought a podcast would be the perfect vehicle for taking viewers behind-the-scenes of MotorWeek. We produce 52 episodes of MotorWeek a year, but we don't always have time to tell you everything. The podcast is a unique opportunity for viewers to hear our personal impressions of the vehicles we road test, discover the stories behind the stories MotorWeek is covering and learn more about where the auto industry is headed as it focuses squarely on fuel economy.

In Podcast #324, John Davis and the MotorWeek crew go into the details of the recently unveiled 6th-gen Toyota 4Runner…a huge deal for the brand and the first new 4Runner in almost 15 years. Plus, we’ll also talk about the refreshed RAM 1500. Then our own Alex Kellum has a question on what his next daily driver should be…with the requirements that it should be manual, a hatchback, and under $15,000. Then we’ll finish off with a discussion on the truths and myths on the current state of electrified vehicle sales.
