THE CHICAGO AUTO SHOW RECAP WITH ALL TERRAIN NATION

EV Channels Review

This episode of GT Garage Talk, featuring David Boyd from All Terrain Nation, provides a comprehensive recap of the 2023 Chicago Auto Show. The hosts discuss the show's return to normalcy post-pandemic and highlight standout vehicles and brands. Ram and Stellantis are praised for their engaging displays and the 20th anniversary of the Jeep Rubicon. Subaru impressed with its innovative booth, showcasing the new Impreza and Crosstrek, though some viewers found them lacking significant updates. The discussion also touches on the disappointing GMC and Chevrolet truck displays, the potential of the Buick Wildcat concept, and the ongoing shift away from V6 engines towards turbocharged four-cylinders and hybrids. A significant portion is dedicated to the burgeoning three-row SUV segment and the competitive landscape of midsize trucks, particularly the new GM twins (Colorado and Canyon). The hosts express a shared enthusiasm for traditional internal combustion engines, especially V8s, and anticipate future performance variants like potential Raptor/TRX competitors from GM.
