Description

If there's one thing that the Swiss people are known for, it's having a lot of money! Which is why it is fitting that the Geneva Motor Show would showcase some of the wackiest, most outlandish, and of course, ridiculously expensive concept cars on the planet. Reporting from Geneva, Switzerland so we don't have to, Autotrader Executive Editor, Brian Moody, fills us in on some of the craziest concept cars he's witnessed. It isn't all highfalutin dream-cars in Geneva; the Mazda CX-30, Subaru e-Boxer engine, and Honda e Prototype have much more grounded philosophies in mind. Changing gears, Executive Publisher for Kelley Blue Book, Autotrader, and Dealer.com, Karl Brauer, gives us his drive review of his new Ford GT (finally!), and discusses electric vehicles and the effects of trade tariffs on the automotive industry. Next, Co-founder of CarTender and Freelance Automotive Journalist for CarGurus, Boston Globe, and U.S. News and World Report, George Kennedy III, makes a case for electric cars and showers praise upon the 2019 Dodge Charger SXT AWD. Closing the show, automotive journalist, BJ Killeen, offers her opinion about some of the strange (and amazing) designs at the Geneva Motor Show. While the Gumpert Nathalie Race and Engler F.F. Super Quad may be goofier looking than Donald Duck's best buddy, cars like the Bugatti La Voiture Noire and Kia Imagine are inspired and beautiful.
