Thank you very much , and join our live show on Saturday mornings between 8 and 11am and if you subscribe , you get all kinds of other information that will send you as well .
Speaker 1And we don't sell your email address . Nay , nay , we don't do that . So feel free to do that . If you would , please sign up with us , we'd love to have you . Yeah , speaking of good things , US News has a 2024 report on the best cars for Families Awards , and joining us now is John Vincent . John , it's good to see you again . How are you , my friend ? Hello John , uh-oh .
Speaker 3Got to unmute , john , sorry .
Speaker 4There we go , nice to see you guys again .
Speaker 1Thank you for very much for joining us today . Okay , uh , let's see . Us News announces the 2024 best cars for Families . Before we get to that , let's go over the criteria for your report and what you kind of went by to judge these cars .
Speaker 4So for best cars for Families , we look at not only a car's overall scores in our rankings and reviews system , but we also look at things like cargo space technology that's , family-friendly team driver systems that can let you monitor your team driver behind the wheel , even things like a hand-free liftgate that you know make things easier for families . So we look at that kind of stuff . It's all data-driven . We don't just throw darts at a dartboard and pick out the best cars for Families . We actually look at what the data tells us .
Speaker 1Now are all of these 2024 models . These are all 2024 models . Very nice , Okay . How long did it take you guys to compile this ?
Speaker 4I worked with a bunch of really smart researchers and a few months to put all this stuff together .
Speaker 1A few months . Yeah , so I understand that you evaluated 90 vehicles . Oh my gosh , that's a lot . I would be like , at the end of the day , I'm going my God , I don't know what to deliver turn here . I can only imagine what you went through .
Speaker 4They work very hard at this to get it .
Speaker 1Okay , so let's . How do you want to start ? You want to start with brands or vehicles . Specifically , how do you want to work this ?
Speaker 4Let's just work our way down the list . Let's start with the best two-row mid-size SUVs for families , all right , and that's the Honda Passport .
Speaker 1The Honda Passport . Is that a minivan ?
Speaker 4No , the Honda Passport is essentially a two-row version of the Honda Pilot . It's slightly lifted . You know , the the Passport's just a vehicle that might not stand out in any one area but does everything well .
Speaker 1Well , honda's usually do , don't you agree ?
Speaker 2Exactly Kind of bulletproof .
Speaker 1Yeah , yeah , they're kind of pricey . Well , I say pricey , they're usually priced over and above their competitors by $2,000 , $3,000 . You agree A little bit , yeah .
Speaker 4They're . They're a little bit of a premium mark out there .
Speaker 1Yeah , let's see , so let's do the best .
Speaker 4Three-row mid-size SUV for families , and that's the Kia Telluride . You know , the Kia Telluride wins a lot of awards and it wins them because it's that good , it does everything . Well , it's in its kind of 1.5 , version , 1.5 generation . They just refreshed it and they made a great SUV even better .
Speaker 1Before we move on , I didn't want to mention that . I see here that you also have hybrids , you also have electrics , you've got full-size SUVs , body on frame style , and you also got some cars here . Okay , so let me just continue on Best compact SUV for families and that's a very crowded segment that has a lot of great vehicles in it , and for this award , we picked the 2020 400 Tucson .
Speaker 1And you know , let me just interject this To me , a compact is really . It's really not a compact the way I think of a compact . I know that I'm old , but back in the day a compact car was the smallest car the manufacturer made . It's not the case anymore .
Speaker 4That's across the board . I mean , try and put a compact Chevy Colorado pickup truck in your garage . It's not compact anymore .
Speaker 1Yeah , exactly so the Hyundai Tucson . So Hyundai and Kia , they're right up there at the top , number two and number three . That's basically the same company , just different brands , correct ?
Speaker 4Yeah , I kind of like to think of Kia as the Pontiac and Hyundai as the Buick .
Speaker 1Interesting . That's an interesting . Yeah , I get you All right . Best hybrid car for families , and this is no surprise Camry hybrid , the Camry hybrid .
Speaker 4In its last year of the current generation , it still was able to win .
Speaker 1Well , that doesn't surprise me , because you know they're hybrid . They have been working on a hybrid system since the beginning of the Prius , and that dates back to what ? 2010? , oh , 2000 . Yeah , yeah , about 2000 , I think is somewhere in there when they started the Prius , and it's basically the same type of system that they use today .
Speaker 4At its heart . It's the same type of system . I mean , it's been changed dramatically . Well , of course , the new Prius is an amazing car compared to the original Prius , but the Camry , you know , uses that drivetrain and gives you 40 plus MPG out of a sedan , which is fantastic , A nice sedan .
Speaker 3Yeah it is A nice sedan .
Speaker 1Yeah , that Camry has come a long way , like the hybrid system , no doubt about it . Okay , best hybrid SUV for families and this really draws my attention because this is a recently updated or brand new Highlander- Yep , that's the Highlander hybrid , the car behind me on the screen here .
Speaker 4It kind of defines what a three row SUV is and it gives you fantastic mileage . I mean , you look at the Telluride , Telluride's great , but its one weakness is fuel economy , and Toyota fixes that with the Highlander hybrid , which you need to save money for those theme park admissions and the Highlander hybrid will let you do that .
Speaker 1What's your favorite theme park ? Disney World ?
Speaker 3Is it ?
Speaker 1I would say I'd agree with you Best electric vehicle for families . Now , does this include both cars and SUVs in the category ? This one does ? Okay , so this is , across the board , best electric vehicle for families , and that is .
Speaker 4Yes , that is the Hyundai Ioniq 5 . Another Hyundai , another Hyundai . So Hyundai and Kia . They do something interesting in the way that they design their electric cars . A lot of electric vehicles like the Ford F-150 Lightning have a huge front trunk . With the Hyundai and Kia's , instead of doing that , they put their drive electronics up front , where the engine would be , and use that extra space for a larger cabin . So the Ioniq 5 has a huge cabin . You know it's an electric , so there's no drive line hump . So even the middle seat in the second row is usable for normal people . They package it right for families .
Speaker 1Is it an SUV or is it a car ?
Speaker 4It's called an SUV , but it's a car .
Speaker 1Well , that's why I asked you , because I've seen them and I think that I've had one in the press fleet and it's kind of like a tweener , it's not one , it kind of crosses the lines , and I think that there's a value for that . Okay , let's talk about the best large SUV . Now this is body on frame , I assume .
Speaker 4This is the big guy . This is Chevy Suburban . Wow yeah , longest running continuous nameplate in the US , I believe at this point Wow .
Speaker 1And it has no resemblance to Suburbans of the past . No , not at all yeah . Every time that they come out with a new version of it and you go really , this is a Suburban . I mean , it's almost like a Cadillacs of old now .
Speaker 4Especially at the top end of their lineup , the end of the high country Suburban , and it's a , it's lux .
Speaker 1Yeah , and it's pushing $100,000 or more .
Speaker 2That is true , yeah .
Speaker 4But there you know , there's a reason why it's nicknamed the Chevy Subdivision .
Speaker 2Oh , I never heard that before it's the biggest family you have in here .
Speaker 1Oh , that's beautiful Full three row family sub . I'm so glad that they have finally perfected that third row where you don't have to actually take the third row out of the vehicle to open up the cargo space , and you know exactly what I'm talking about .
Speaker 4And you also don't need to be a gymnast to get to that third row .
Speaker 2That's why don't they turn the seat around ?
Speaker 1Yeah , that's . The only thing we're lacking is an option to turn the seat around .
Speaker 2Turn the seat around and you don't have that problem .
Speaker 4Yeah , he's laughing . I don't think any any parent wants that again . No , I guess not . Come on .
Speaker 1Yeah , especially now with the , with all the shootings and everything , they can't have the kids in the back seat flipping off the car that's behind them , you know . All right , so let's talk about best mid-sized car for families . And again , mid-size is ? You know , it's kind of confusing because to me , a mid-size today is a full-size car .
Speaker 4Right , and that is the 2024 Toyota Camry . Again , it's last year of its current product cycle . Still a great car .
Speaker 1So it's won two awards it's best , the best hybrid and the straight I assume gasoline engine .
Speaker 2Why wouldn't the Lexus ESP be ahead of that ?
Speaker 4Because we'd have to include luxury cars in the , in our best cars In the van All right .
Speaker 2Yeah , this is the van list . I got your family here , all right .
Speaker 1So let's talk about best many van for families , and I you know is I want to say there aren't as many mini vans as there once was , but there is competition still out there .
Speaker 4Yeah , there aren't as many mini vans , but there are . You know the competition is still strong because you know it's hard to beat a mini van . Once you've had a mini van you don't want to go to anything else .
Speaker 1You know it's somebody somebody asked me , don , why ? What is it about you and the mini van ? I like them too . Would I buy one personally ? Probably not now with the advent and the proliferation of SUVs everywhere , but as far as vehicle dynamics , how it drives , how it rides and all of the things that it's capable of doing , it's it's a big box on wheels that has luxury throughout , and I would have to say that it would probably be as far as an actual transportation mode for my family , it would have to be a mini van .
Speaker 2I'm thinking the Toyota probably , but I want to go with the Toyota over the Pacifica . My opinion yeah .
Speaker 4The Pacifica one , the Toyota . It gets up there in price and that's that's one issue with it . Well , it does have some great features . I mean all wheel drive , hybrid powertrain , so great mileage . But when looking at the overall numbers , the Pacifica wins and the Pacifica has some features that nobody else has .
Speaker 1You know , it's funny . You should say that , because the first thing , the first thing that comes to my mind , is the the stow and go system , because if you , if you want to use the seats , great , and then that little cubby that's underneath the floor works great for luggage , everything that you could possibly throw underneath there and still keep it inside the vehicle and go for weeks on a vacation and still have plenty of room for family and all of the luggage and stuff that's in it .
Speaker 4Yep , and if you look at a lot of the newer minivans , you can't remove the center row at all and the Chrysler makes it easy . Yeah , it's put it into the floor .
Speaker 1I think that it's the ultimate . Uh , I don't know about reliability . Um , I would assume that now that it's getting a little bit long in the tooth , although it's still very attractive vehicle , I would imagine that , uh , now that they've worked out all of the bugs that they had originally , because , let's face it , it has a lot of technology in it and it's got all all the plugs , you know , the cell phone stuff , the , the , the screens for the kids in the back seat to play their video game , whatever , whatever you want , that's in that van .
Speaker 2Well , the , the Chrysler minivan years ago , was a leader in that group to begin with , and it started and it's got a vacuum cleaner in it and it's got a vacuum .
Speaker 3You gotta have that .
Speaker 4And the uh . The entertainment screens in back are linked to the navigation system so the kids can see how , how long it is to get there .
Speaker 3They can follow along .
Speaker 2Keep asking , yeah , stop .
Speaker 1Are we there yet ?
Speaker 2Well , Don's a new grandfather . He should get a minivan to take his grandson around .
Speaker 1Well , he's only one , so I've got a few years on , the leash and I'll get one at the meekum auction , I'm sure there you go yeah . Well , uh , john , how fun Uh this is a . This is great fun uh for everybody to uh look at see all of the the award winners at us news and um hey .
Speaker 3John , I have a question . Yep , you said that was a Highlander behind you . Yep , is it 25 ? 24. ? That's a 24 . Yep , I liked the way that looks . I keep looking at it over your shoulder there and it just doesn't look like any of the Highlanders I've seen .
Speaker 1Well , you're not getting one , so you just sit .
Speaker 3Still no , but uh , sooner or later I'm going to have to buy the wife something . There you go Well there you have it .
Speaker 4Well , I'm a minivan owner and I love my minivan . There you go , I'm with you , buddy .
Speaker 3When I had one , we were doing a lot of freelance work and it was great to put the photo gear in the back . You lift up the back of it . The girlfriend or wife could sit under there in the shade while I was out there shooting pictures of her husbands , and my wife would keep her entertained . It was perfect Her husband's and his wife , yeah , or his girlfriend , whoever you happen to have at the show .

Speaker 1By the way , I wanted to mention that our racing calendar was sponsored by Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge . Thank you for that . I didn't get that in earlier . It's okay I needed to mention that it's been a busy day .
Speaker 3It's been busy , busy , busy , busy . I'm trying to remember where she said it was Okay . Well , it's somewhere .
Speaker 1This is a drag racing league and it's tons of fun and it's a fun group and if you're into drag racing , check them out . Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge . I would encourage you to do that . Jeffrey , you want to do ?
Speaker 2wheels on TV . I've got that . What I've picked out this week are three movies that you can watch . Now Richard Tomlin kind of alluded to one earlier that I've got on here . It's called Formula One Drive to Survive . Yes , it is , and I believe it's fifth or sixth season . It is on Netflix . So you subscribe to Netflix , you can go ahead and get it . You get a look into the lives of the Formula One competitors and all of their drama . I threw that in there and the teams . Now it's in . It's again fifth or sixth season . Others can go behind the scenes with anything but normal activity . The second one and I've actually seen this movie it's called the Lady and the Dale . It's on HBO . It's about Geraldine Elizabeth Liz Carmichael . She got the world's attention with a 70 mile per hour , mile per gallon I should say 70 mile per gallon three wheels sedan called the Dale . It couldn't get her company off the ground . It was a big scam . It is a four part documentary , so check it out . I liked it . What's ?
Speaker 2it called it's called the Lady and the Dale , so check that out . The last one that I think is pretty good to watch and I have seen parts of it , not all of it is called Framing John DeLorean . It's on a Hulu Don . It is a look into the life of John DeLorean , from the rise of General Motors to his development of the DeLorean sports car , and there's much more behind the scenes of this controversial auto exact than it is also a documentary . So check those things out . I've seen one and a half of these . They're pretty good . It held my attention and I have very short time .
Speaker 1That poor guy was set up big time with his cocaine thing , Well he was trying to save his company and really okay , there's .
Speaker 2I'm sure there were other ways to do it , but the quick way out isn't always the best way .
Speaker 1Yeah well so he built an iconic car that is more popular , I think , than it was when it was new .
Speaker 2And in after his death as well . Yeah , so , yep , so that's what I got . Okay , check them out .
Speaker 1All right , we shall do that . Let's see you think so . I need to do some calculations here , okay , yeah , okay , I got it , tesla's .
Speaker 5He didn't take his shoes off I know , I just had to think about it for a second .
Speaker 1I used to be able to do three and four things at a time . No , it's just one . Don't do that very well either . Got you . Tesla's second generation Roadster will feature quote rocket technology , end quote . Through a collaboration with aerospace company and twin SpaceX , that will allow the sports car to accelerate zero to 60 in under one second .
Speaker 2According to Elon Musk .
Speaker 1Musk in an interview released Monday with former CNN journalist Don Lemon . He's still alive . That idiot suggested the future sports car maybe can fly . It's not out of the question , must said in response to a question . Musk said last month that the new Roadster , which was first presented in late 2017 , will launch next year . First generation Roadster was Tesla's first car to go on the market in 2008 .
Speaker 1Ford Motor Company delaying planned three row electric vehicles similar in size to the Explorer and Lincoln Aviator as it focuses on smaller , more affordable EVs . According to people familiar with the company's plans , the three row EVs to be built in Canada at Ford's planned Oakville Electric Vehicle Complex were expected to go on sale in early 2025 . Instead , ford is shifting to launch an affordable EV in a small vehicle platform as early as late 2026 . The small crossover is expected to be built at the company's Louisville assembly plant . The UAW and Ford agreed as part of the 2023 labor contract to add a new EV product to Louisville before the deal expires in 2028 , although the parties did not specify timing .
Speaker 1Automakers are losing thousands of dollars on every electric vehicle they sell still and , for the most part , not meeting consumer expectations for the vehicles , according to Boston Consulting Group . The group estimates that most automakers lose about $6,000 on each EV they sell for $50,000 after accounting for customer tax credits . If original equipment manufacturers can't make money in this next generation of EVs , something's going to have to change , according to Andrew Lowe , a senior partner at Boston Consulting , where their automakers have the stomach to keep investing until they get to the level of scale and efficiency where they can actually turn a profit ? That is the question . Automakers differ in their approaches to EVs , but most have felt the punch of slowing sales growth . Toyota , for example , will buy credits to meet emissions regulations , choosing to base its EV plans on consumer demand . Ford , which less than two years ago said it wanted to eventually challenge Tesla in EV sales , has cut production of its electric F-150 Lightning pickup and halted shipments for an undisclosed issue . Nearly 40% of 3,000 US consumers surveyed by Boston Consulting in January said they intend to purchase an EV as their next vehicle , but they expressed strict requirements to make the jump . Ev intenders want 20-minute charging times , a 350-mile driving range and a price of $50,000 , according to the group's report , that's a hefty wish list . There it is .
Speaker 1I know why Stelana said Friday it's cutting about 2% of its US engineering , technology and software jobs about 400 people because of unprecedented uncertainties and heightened competitive pressures around the world . Affected workers were notified Friday morning yesterday . Layoffs are effective March 31st . Stelana says the cuts would better align resources while preserving the critical skills needed to protect our competitive advantage . What a crock of what a lineup . Who we Never mind . Employees who are laid off will receive severance and other job transition assistance .
Speaker 2Well , we talked about that last night at dinner . China is building an EV plant in Poland and they're Stalatis is getting involved in that . Good luck .
Speaker 1An American , honda , will reduce dealership profit margins on new vehicles and make other changes designed to help support the company's costly transition to electric . According to a corporate memo , the Japanese automakers 0.5% profit margin reduction affecting the amount between the invoice price that dealerships pay and the manufacturers suggested retail price . Comes with additional changes to marketing , advertising and service payments . Okay , honda's actions are a response to customers not yet being widely able to afford EVs .
Speaker 1All right time now for a quick break on the in-wheel time car talk show . We will wrap up today's show right after these brief messages . The original group of loopy tortilla restaurants will have you telling your family and friends just what the original recipes mean when it comes to the best fajitas in southeast Texas . Founders Stan Holt invite you to visit the original loopy tortilla near I-10 at highway 6 .
